We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay!! Dennis at the front desk was very helpful & accommodating when we asked to extend our stay! We loved the location! It was so convenient to walk to Playa Venao but far enough away to have quiet evenings. We enjoyed the pool too!! The view with the island right across from the beach was amazing! The staff provided excellent service. We look forward to returning soon!

Villa Marina was a very pleasant surprise - even better than the pictures. The pool was a plus and the beach lovely.

Staff, room, location and beach were all amazing!! Only thing to stay away from: I would not recommend the evening turtle adventure. It was a terrible experience, no turtles, no expectations, no customer focus - painful and a bit scary from the taxi driver there to the whole experience trying to get back to the hotel. Horse back riding was amazing - great tour guide - I HIGHLY recommend this one!! Again, beach was amazing, staff was great:)

This was our second visit to this area of Panama, since our first visit in 2010. The hotel was just as lovely as we remembered, and the staff just as attentive.

Nice private hotel near the beach

Villa Marina Lodge is a very nice small hotel very in playa Venao yet away from the beach- crowded area. You can rent a comfortable room with ocean view and still keep your privacy. It is a perfect place to spend some quiet time and enjoy the scenery. It is clean, comfortable and affordable..

Most beautiful spot at Playa Venao

I've stayed there several times. Beautiful spot, but rooms have become very rundown. Such a shame for what could be a first class resort.

Incredible Location!

This cute little hotel is located on a beautiful beach about 30 minutes outside of Pedasi. It is very quiet and peaceful. The pool is made of rock and is right on the beach. You can walk to restaurants down the beach and watch the surfers at the surf schools. Our room had a lovely little patio that looked out to the beach.

Best kept secret in Panama

Hotels.com really messed up our reservation by not sending the updated change of dates to the resort,even though we had a confirmation number from hotels.com. That being said, David the manager managed to find us a room for two nights and treated us like royalty. The whole place is magical and we can't wait to return.

Hidden gem in Playa Venao

After a 5 hour drive from Panama City we arrived at Villa Marina Lodge around 9pm. Our check-in was very smooth. We had requested an extra bed after making our reservation, this was done next day. The location is like heaven. Right next to a beautiful beach. Not many people around so if you're looking for peace and serenity this is the place ! There is a hostel nearby that is 10 minutes walk on the beach, if you want a bit more action, you can always go there in the evening. The hotel staff were all very nice.

Extraordinary setting.

Great place place with wonderful staff. Excellent food. We were entertained by Scarlet McCaws, geckos, iguanas, and an array of birds on our porch and at the pool. The beach is at the property's edge and not intimidating. Strolling down the typically empty section in front towards activity, mid-bay, offers more opportunities for activity at several other resorts. Some of the best surfing in Panama. With nine rooms Villa Marina is an intimate, laid-back, experience.

As an Expedia VIP I was lucky enough to be upgraded to the panoramic oceanview apartment. Very modern and spacious 2 bed. 2 bath was missing dishwasher, toaster, kettle. Can opener, ice trays etc. Use of bbq was $40 so we passed. The lobby was tired and welcome drink was non-alcoholic very tasty lemonade. Friendly staff. Calm seas. 5 min walk Next door had the entertainment. Bars, shops and restaurants.
