Pros:

The staff was excellent, especially Eric and all the waitresses. They were all super friendly and made me feel very welcome. Also, the sushi was excellent and a great value.

Très bel hôtel, emplacement et piscine lagon magnifique mais à ce prix il y des points d’amélioration certains
Pros:

L’emplacement est top
Un peu à l’écart de la foule mais proche du centre
Sur la plage, la piscine lagon est vraiment le point fort de l’hôtel
Le personnel est très gentil et souriant
La literie très bonne

Cons:

Les abords des bungalows pourraient être mieux entretenus, tuyaux apparents, beaucoup de feuilles mortes , palmes de palmiers, revêtements toits bungalows
La salle de bain un petit coup de frais
Il y a une penderie mais pas de cintres
Les serveurs ne viennent ps vérifier les tables de la terrasse de la piscine , des verres en plastiques par terre et le contenu écoulé au sol

Pros:

The pool was incredible.

Cons:

There was no coffee or drinking water on site. Every morning I wanted a cup of coffee and the restaurant really didn’t start serving until 7-7:30. Coffee in the rooms for this price point would be good. And drinking water in the rooms as well.

Biggest complaint was the coffee situation. The local families children were unsupervised
Pros:

Pool and pool furniture layout

Cons:

Coffee availability and coffee pots in room. Was only able to get cappuccinos and other specialty coffee drinks from the restaurant. Restaurant is not owned by the hotel.

Estancia muy agradable
Pros:

Nos encantó la cabaña; era como estar en una casita propia: muy bonita, cómoda, confortable y silenciosa, incluso mejor de lo que esperábamos.

El hotel está ubicado directamente sobre la playa, cerca de otros hoteles, pero lo suficientemente apartado como para disfrutar de mucha tranquilidad. Además, todo está a poca distancia caminando.

La atención del personal fue maravillosa.

Cons:

No nos gustó que en el área de la piscina hubiera una pareja de huéspedes con una bocina poniendo su propia música a un volumen alto. Nosotros estábamos buscando tranquilidad, y en ese momento solo ellos estaban escuchando su música, lo que resultaba molesto para los demás. Considero que imponer este tipo de ambiente al resto de los huéspedes no es apropiado, y me sorprendió que el personal del hotel lo permitiera.

En otra ocasión, al regresar de cenar, vimos en el lobby a un miembro del personal que, de manera muy amable, estaba encendiendo un porro de marihuana para una clienta. Aunque la situación nos pareció curiosa, también proyectó una imagen poco profesional del hotel. Entiendo que el ambiente en Playa Venao puede ser relajado, pero considero que ciertos límites ayudan a mantener una experiencia más equilibrada para todos los huéspedes.

Schöne Lage am Surferstrand
Pros:

Sehr schöne, kleine Häuschen, mit zwei riesigen Doppelbetten ausgestattet. Gepflegte Anlage, direkt am langen Surferstrand. Ruhig, keine Musik, viele Kinder am grossen, sauberen Infinitypool am Wochenende. Eine grosse jüdische Gemeinschaft, vorwiegend junge Familien mit kleineren Kindern, lebt hier in Langzeitmiete seit der Corona Pandemie. Viele Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in Fussdistanz. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.

Cons:

Badezimmer war nicht sauber geputzt. Grosse Baustelle beim Eingang der Anlage. Der Eigentümer baut dort drei riesige Häuser. Wir haben keinen Baulärm gehört.

Pricey but with great value and a lot of ammenitites.
Pros:

Room was great, very big. Indoor and outdoor seating area with even an extra bed. Walking closet and good size bathroom. Bed was very comfy. Walking a bit but if you want privacy, somethings gotta give.

Cons:

A lot of kids, it would be great its stated somewhere, but overall nice. It kinda makes sense since its the only one with a tobogan on site with a great sized pool. At some points if you wanted to relax, there was a lot of noise.

This is a lovely location - it just needs a bit of care and maintenance.
Pros:

The staff was wonderful and friendly and professional. The Sushi Bar staff & food were both great. The location is perfect and the pool was pristine. In the main restaurant, Natasha is a shining star. Her smile and personality were awesome. Maria (housekeeper) went out of her way to make us welcome.

Cons:

I was here last year; and the restaurant was very noticeably degraded -- almost shabby with damaged furniture. The menus were tattered and there were less drink options. The landscaping was also neglected with patches of weeds where gardens used to be...
