This hotel is located right on Playa Venao, which is a gorgeous beach ideal for surfers, from beginner to more advanced (I saw people catching barrels one day). It's just steps from the surf. The hotel has a restaurant with great food (amazing breakfasts and salads, cappucinos with biscotti). You might have to wait a little while (like most places... More

This is our 2nd time at Playa Venao. We stayed 3 times in our favourite rooms (best room) with private balcony. As soon as we arrived - the owner came to greet us - which was very nice. The hotel still remains very nice, beautifully decorated & friendly staff. The only problem was the restaurant - which is unfortunate. The... More

Playa Venao is really off the path and a quaint nice location. The ability to stay at a nice place while there makes it worthwhile. Rooms are good, food at the hotel was superb compared to other places we ate in Panama. I also liked that its on 20-30 min from Pedasi... The beach is pretty ugly, frankly (dark sand... More

We checked in on the 28th. of March, best room in the place. They had a power outage, no problem they have a generator. The generator is just not quite big enough to power everything. So instead of shutting down things , they let our building go without power and ran the bar. Guests should come first. But to still... More

My husband and I stayed at El Sitio for a few days and had a wonderful time! We were looking for a place to unwind and relax without the masses found at all-inclusive resorts. I knew of Playa Venao and learned about El Sitio from tripadvisor and we were very pleased. My primary criteria in finding a place for our... More

Relaxed, out of the way (30 mins from Pedasi). Located on a quiet cove with above average surfing. Beautiful rooms on the beach, great service, great surf beach. Nice bar on the beach. Good restaurant. Very reasonable prices. Great destination resort.

This is my second time visiting El Sitio. First time, not as a hotel guest but still spending the entire day in the place. The location is perfect. The food is quite good. The hotel rooms and pool quite comfortable and clean. This location is tops in my list as far as places to relax while in Panama.

Playa Venao is an amazing beach and this resort was a great place to stay for a night. It was a bit too expensive to stay much more than that, but we loved the room and balcony and the view. The restaurant had good food both for dinner and breakfast, The grounds were nice and the staff was freindly. We... More

I live in Panama a few months every year and during that time I visit my most favorite places, we visit this hotel not the first time. The place is really amazing, wonderful nature, the opportunity to practice water sports, a restaurant by the sea - one of the best restaurants in Panama, which is not typical for beach restaurants...
