What's nearby

  • Selina Hostels at Playa Venao The hostel is new and not finished yet, but it has a great design, is located directly at the beach and the staff is really cool. A con is that there is only one shop which has basically nothing and is really expensive; so you either have to bring your food or eat at the bar in the hostel. The beach itself is good for surfers, but you can also enjoy the waves without a board. There are only two (or maybe three; nobody knows) buses from Pedasí to Playa Venao: once in the morning (I think at 7) and once at 12 o'clock. It takes around 1.5 hours. Keep your eyes open and when you see the sign of the hostel, shout "(la) parada, por favor"

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay!! Dennis at the front desk was very helpful & accommodating when we asked to extend our stay! We loved the location! It was so convenient to walk to Playa Venao but far enough away to have quiet evenings. We enjoyed the pool too!! The view with the island right across from the beach was amazing! The staff provided excellent service. We look forward to returning soon!

Staff, room, location and beach were all amazing!! Only thing to stay away from: I would not recommend the evening turtle adventure. It was a terrible experience, no turtles, no expectations, no customer focus - painful and a bit scary from the taxi driver there to the whole experience trying to get back to the hotel. Horse back riding was amazing - great tour guide - I HIGHLY recommend this one!! Again, beach was amazing, staff was great:)

Not worth the money. Stay away.

If you’re looking for a place to get a quiet peaceful night of sleep, this is NOT it. The photos and description are drastically misleading. The place is in desperate need of cleaning and repair. The service was non-existent. And the the price, for what you get is insane. The prior 2 nights we stayed at a 5 star golf and beach resort an hour a way, for a lot less and the service was impeccable. This will be my last booking on hotel.com as I’m not confident in the accuracy of the property from seeing photos and descriptions.

As an Expedia VIP I was lucky enough to be upgraded to the panoramic oceanview apartment. Very modern and spacious 2 bed. 2 bath was missing dishwasher, toaster, kettle. Can opener, ice trays etc. Use of bbq was $40 so we passed. The lobby was tired and welcome drink was non-alcoholic very tasty lemonade. Friendly staff. Calm seas. 5 min walk Next door had the entertainment. Bars, shops and restaurants.

The location is wonderful. It's at the end of the playa Venao so its quiet. Beautiful view at from the apartment we stay in. The apartment is a nice size for 4 adults. Staff are friendly. Two miner points: 1. apt 504 the master bedroom rolling screen for the window is broken. So there's no privacy at night and in the morning when the sunrise you will have no choice to wake up. 2. the breakfast is not worth it. (small omelette with a few pieces of small bread for $10 USD) and a coffee.

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The condo was clean and a perfect size for our family of 4. The kitchen had all of the pots/cutlery you would want, but it would be nice to have a simple salt/pepper. They have separate towels for the pool areas/beach, which was nice, but no wash cloths. They don’t seem to be a thing in Panama in general. The pool near the condos was really nice, but it would be better if they had more stones/paving/grass around it bc there was quite a bit of dirt and it was hard to keep from tracking it into the pool. The restaurant was good and the waitress was very sweet. All in all a great spot away from the noise of the other resorts that have music late, etc.
