Supeisibg compared to the reviews and rating. Overpriced for the services. No safe, no pool/beach towel. Dark rooms but comfoetable beds. Bar staff was very friendly and client oriented.

The DJ and dance party was great. The main facility was nice - attractive, cool vibe, nice beach, beach shower, nice pool, nice lounge chairs... room / beds were great.. looked great... but the shower curtain was really gross - dirty and moldy and made you feel like you were in a cheap filthy place, even though everything else was good... strange that such an easy and cheap fix would be left in such a disgusting state. Staff were great and altogether a nice stay. Thanks

Venao beautiful, not this place

De lokatie is fantastisch en het eten heerlijk. De ober van de ochtend is helaas ontzettend arrogant en totaal niet klant vriendelijk. De eerste nacht was het een ontzettend kabaal omdat een heel aangal mensen zat te wachten voor onze deur op hin bus naar het vliegveld, tot 3:00 snachts was het kabaam en er wordt niks aan gedaan. Zal zeker Venao aanraden, maar niet deze plek.
