Comfortable Villa Stay

My stay in one of the villas was a highlight! The room was clean and spacious with an incredibly comfortable bed, two armchairs, and provided all the necessary amenities, including a mini fridge. The terrace offered a stunning view for watching sunsets, making it the perfect cozy space to unwind after a day at the beach.

Delicious Dining Experience

I ate at the Michaela restaurant multiple times during my stay and was impressed by the food quality and variety. Each meal was not only delicious but also served by friendly staff. Although they were a bit slow with service at times, the taste made it worth the wait!

Relaxing Infinity Pool

The infinity pool was lovely! With a amazing view overlooking the beach, I spent many afternoons lounging here. The pool was well maintained, making it a refreshing escape after a long day. It was the perfect spot to relax with a drink in hand while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Surfer's Paradise

As an avid surfer, Playa Venao is truly a dream. The ocean waves were perfect, and the beach is just a stone's throw away from the hotel. It’s an amazing location to catch some waves and also enjoy beach volleyball. The natural surroundings were invigorating and made my stay feel tranquil yet exhilarating.

The hotel is located in a prime spot right by the beach, which is a definite plus. The pool area offers a fantastic view of the ocean. Overall, the rooms are clean and spacious for a family of four, but they lack some basic amenities like luggage racks and comfortable seating. Our dining experience was mixed, with limited menu options and high prices, which made it less appealing. Despite the friendly and helpful staff, the overall amenities didn’t quite justify the price.

I had an amazing experience at this resort! The atmosphere was so relaxing and the ocean was practically right at my doorstep for surfing and beach volleyball. The immense infinity pool was a highlight, and the restaurant offered delicious food with exceptional service. On the downside, there were a few hiccups with the dining experience regarding availability of menu items and some breakfast options. Overall, I can't wait to return!
