El Sitio is the best option to feel and live Playa Venao from its heart.

Very good place to spend some surfing days. We found El Sitio relatively quiet compared to other places at the beach.

The place as described. The reception girls were very accommodating. A very cozy and very familiar atmosphere, which was what we were looking for.

The place is very comfortable and overall staff were willing to help us with our requests. We unfortunately had to deal with cockroaches during our stay even though they cleaned the place.

Fantastic, Relaxing, Easy and Enjoyable. We had a family vacation to Playa Venao and stayed in the lovely Villa Nomada. The Villa worked really well for our group of 7. We all had wonderful bedroom suites with very comfortable mattresses, pillows &bedding. Each bedroom had its own nicely appointed bathroom with good pressure hot and cold water. A beauty pool was a nice morning water feature and the pool man arrived each morning on horseback! The kitchen had everthing my foodie daughter needed to turn out delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. The beach is 10 steps from the house. It was usually a full day of surfing and back to the house, to refresh in the pool and then prep dinner. We hired a fishing guide to go out to Los Friles , Unfortunately the oceans are changing so it's hard to know what might get hooked. We did get a skip jack which was grilled to perfection on the ample new BBQ. The staff that manage Villa Nomada were excellent. Any and all questions and requests were ful

Villa Nomada is a beautiful villa with separate rooms which provides a lot of privacy for a group. The view is spectacular and being able to walk up to the beach is amazing. The place was clean and well furnished, we did not lack anything. The only thing I would note is that there is quite a bit of construction in the surroundings but we were not bothered by it. El Sitio staff was quick to respond and very friendly. We had a beautiful stay. Highly recommend.

Great little place for a family. The kitchenette was great, and walking distance to there grocery store to make dinner meals at home instead of going out. Having 2 bedrooms was great. The apartment was private, it was nice knowing we were the only ones using our staircase

Excellent place to disconnect, separate bedrooms each with its own bathroom only two bedrooms share a bathroom perfect for children. They have gas bbq, great pool and a large green patio where you can play with your kids or just relax in the grass. In the rainy season, the light goes away in that sector, but they have a power plant, the only bad thing that the air conditioners with the backup floor do not work, everything else works, so you don't run out of light. Hope to come back soon thank you.

An amazing property, where I had already stayed and where I would definitely go. On this particular occasion we had some drawbacks with aspects that could be improved: given the collapse in Carnival we started our trip in Panama 5AM. Arriving at Venao 11 AM (with two puppies) we requested some flexibility to enter in advance and the attitude at reception was not good, procrastinating again and again. While the rules are clear, we understand they could have had a good gesture lending us the outside area or 1 of the 4 rooms. When entering, the light service was interrupted (something we could have been notified of). While there is a generator, the A/C didn't work until the night. Finally, the faucet was broken, creating a huge loss in the kitchen. The care of the maintenance people was excellent, not so much the care of the maintenance. We were charged surprise 10% TAX, outside of the Airbnb price. Taking out these drawbacks, the house is great in Venao.

Great house, rooms are big and give you privacy. Kitchen/living room/dining area provide a great place to gather. Beach views are amazing and plenty of good restaurants within walking distance. There is also a mini supermarket 10 min away in Cañas. Playa Venao has great surf and awesome for walking on the beach at low tide.

Great location, great house, we love playa Venao and we come back 2-3 times a year. The problem with this house is that the generator does not work and, in case there is one of the usual electricity cuts, you will be without electricity, A/C and hot water. Every other house this price has a proper generator… we had 24 hour period without electricity, A/C, hot water… something to consider

Our stay at Villa Nomada was amazing and we hope to return. The house is located in a very special spot, its super comfortable and clean. Few minor feedback points: The AC in the master bedroom didnt cool very well and we felt for the price as since this is part of the Hotel El Sitio they should have included cleaning and fresh towels as part of the service. Also there is construction going on next door right now, which causes some mild noise in the daytime. For the rest it was wonderful!

Everything we needed and some things we didn’t need (but greatly appreciated!). Thank you El Sitio for a great stay. IMMEDIATE responses on WhatsApp, and daily staff showed up for servicing of the facilities. Right on the beach and perfect location (just far enough from the party sounds, but close enough to walk). Safe, secure, and very well equipped.

Paradise in Venao, Villa Nomada is beautiful and majestic. We had a wonderful stay there! The swimming pool is perfect for kids and adults and the house is right on the beach. Personnel from the hôtel El Sitio is very helpful and responsive. In three days we had three power outage but they turned on an independant generator at the villa to compensate.

Villa Nómada is a residence with an extraordinary location next to Playa Venao, the ocean view is fantastic and you only have to walk about 25 meters and you are on the beach. The family-friendly pool is very good. The rooms were very clean and the service from the admins at El Sitio was very good. I'm sure we'll be back another time.

The house looks great on paper . It’s not a bad house but not worth the money . Big construction next to it . No one told us . A lot of things didn’t work in the house when we arrived . Took 1.5 days to fix . No cleaning included, need to pay like 75$ for it . Not recommended at all . Better go to a smaller hotel in that beach . Big disappointment

The house location is beautiful and the pool is super nice. The kitchen could be improved, some of the appliances didn’t work and the stove top grates are kind of dangerous. And there were no wine glasses. You have to bring all condiments (even basics like salt & pepper, they provide sugar packets and some Nescafé instant coffee packets), this house is set up more like a hotel in that sense. They do have a coffee maker and a stove top moka. The furniture arrangement is kind of weird as well, there are some sofas in the middle of nowhere. All the bedrooms have separate keys, and they’re all disconnected from the kitchen/living room area. Which is nice, that you don’t get to wake everyone up if you stay up late or wake up early. Beds are really comfy and they give you tons of linens (and beach towels). 3 of the connected bedrooms have Individual fans with their own remotes but the remotes turn the other bedroom fans. So either all 3 have them on or off. ACs worked really well. Check in & out was easy. And they have a WhatsApp number that they responded to really quick. The house has 2 soft top boards for your use. I wished they had some umbrellas and kids toys to play at the beach. Venao as a destination is awesome, lots of great surf (sandy bottom), awesome restaurants, we went to La Barca and Panga at Eco Venao, both really good.

A perfect beach house. Wonderful pool, grass area for kids to play and then direct access to stunning beach. Also well set up if travelling with a larger group since each get private rooms, but large common area. Highly recommend if visiting Playa Venao.

Beautiful villa right in front of the beach. The rooms are very spacious and the space is great. We enjoyed the pool with the beach views. The villa's location is great. You have a lot of quite and independence but still close to town in case you need something and want to go out to eat. Highly recommended. We will definitely be back

The pictures of this house do not do it justice! By far one of the best experiences I have had with Airbnb ! The house was amazing, decorated to perfection and in the perfect spot! We wouldn't have changed a thing! Whenever we had a question or concern Minerva responded immediately! Thank you El Sitio for making our trip to Venao so memorable!!
