My Peace Corps friends and I went to enjoy the beach. It's a long way to access, and unfortunately the two best hostels around, this one included, are no where near each other, so for a big group it was hard to access each other. But, if you don't need to go anywhere else and can afford to spend more... More

We spent almost two weeks in Eco venao, even though we were just planning a couple of nights here.. But we really loved it! The first night we had a private "cabana", which was amazing, the next two nights we changed to a private room which is closer to the common areas, and later we stayed in the dorm. All... More

Eco this place is, nestled in the forest, the beacj just a short hop away, however for my money, value and service was quite poor. First, check in was indifferent by staff, they were not warm, friendly and welcoming at all - I felt just like another bidy being checked in. Process was ver informal bordering on no process at...

I spent a week at Eco Venao and was extremely happy with my choice. The place is very clean (showers, bathrooms, kitchen, etc.) and even dorm beds get made every day. The staff is also very helpful and available from 8am to 8pm. There's a kitchen for guests and the restaurant offers an excellent menu if you don't want to... More

We rented the house called la casona : very beautiful, very confortable, great view. We loved it, the 3 kids and my step parents as well. The maid is coming every day to clean the house and the dishes. It s just 5 minutes walk to the beach. We loved having the monkeys in the trees in the garden as... More

You'll never feel more connected to it then you will on the Eco Venao property. 2. The Surf. Its WORLD CLASS! 3. The staff and hospitality is amongst the best Panama has... More

This place was perfect for our group which included four adults and five teenagers. We were able to rent a house and the nearby two unit building. The porches with hammocks and easy chairs were great for enjoying the views of the bay, flowers and wildlife. It was a trek to the beach with surf boards so we did have... More

It takes a little dedication to get to this spot but it is totally worth it. The beach is gorgeous and if you're lucky you'll find the biggest sand dollars you've ever seen washed up on the sand! Eco Venao itself is gorgeous, set on a giant piece of land with the most gorgeous huts where you can relax in... More

Eco Venao was really a great place for a beach retreat. $4 yoga everyday in their beachfront pavilion was a highlight. The surfboard rentals weren't great, but the shops a little ways down the beach had a better selection, also for $5 per hour (same as at Eco Venao.) The restaurant was good and the prices reasonable for dinner, but... More
