Loud loud thumping music until 4 am, 3-4 nights per week, even when that bar is noted as closed. The later it gets, more alcohol flowing, the volume increases. WHO conceived that these two elements are compatible???? Great bed, just used it briefly to nap. What a waste! There were families and couples with babies. Guess unless the kids and babies are down with partying until the wee hours, this is most likely a jah brah surf party hostel vibe. Quite apparent that families didn’t stay long. Won’t return!!!!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Check in with Roberto was quick, and we were welcomed by the Manager Veronica. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The food was very good at the poolside restaurant. But the hidden gem is DEMAR the gourmet restaurant by Chef Andres. Thanks to Aldair the sommelier and the maître d Joshua, the dining experience was superb.

The pool was gross!! The free water was filled up from the bar water faucet and the food wasn’t so good.

Dirty pool with very dirty green edge all around , basically a toilet … everything else was good . Music is all night soo be aware.

We loved it!!!

The rooms are very close to the hotel beach bar/club and they play music very loud, until 4am on our first night (last night of carnival) and 1am on other nights. It starts again at 10am in the morning so if you’d like to join the club 18-30 experience drinking around the pool while listening to thudding bass all day then this might be the place for you. If you’d like it a little quieter and with a basic level of competence (we had to chase for room cleaning, including emptying the open top toilet bin, they seem to regard it as an extra) then don’t stay here. We would have left after the first night if it was refundable. Hotel looks stylish, though rooms are small, location is great (right on the beach) and staff friendly- no mean feat given the number of guests furiously complaining each day. but there are much better options nearby.

Super cool spot at Playa Venao, the room was clean and we recieved good attention by the staff

Ana and the rest of the team were so amazing. You arrive to a big welcome and she even walked us to our room! It’s an incredible place with nothing but beach in front of you. They were doing work on the pool when we were there but cleaned it often, and the lower portion was repaired by the time we left. We surfed every day and took lessons with Jack. He was so helpful and again positive. Surfing is incredibly easy especially for kids and non big wave surfers. When I was surfing in the evening, a real surfer…who I later saw was an instructor at another surf camp, swam over and gave me some help and advice just being friendly. The food at La Playa and the Pizzeria was so good! We kept saying this was the best…burger, tuna, etc. we have ever had. This was an incredible find. It’s definitely a dusty little surf village, and not a 5 star resort as it is all made from sea-cans, but still super cool and clean and I don’t think another place is as good in Playa Venao. We saw all the resorts and walked all the beach to compare. Sitting in the pool, and on the chairs at night gave you experience you will never forget. We will definitely be back.

Espectacular!

Rent, fantastisk personal, trevligt poolområde, perfekt location!

El servicio de bar esta muy desordenado, principalmente con las cuentas. Él hotel se quedo sin agua el lunes al momento de salir y no había nadie encargado hasta las 7 am que llego el personal.
