Great stay! The two bedroom ocean view condo was excellent. Clean, roomy, modern, with an amazing view. The pool by the condos could be improved. There is no pool deck or path to the pool so you have to walk on rocks and grass barefoot. Also not enough chairs. Excellent food at the restaurant and reasonably priced. It was a great stay and we’ll be back!

Clean room, although our first room had an issue with the air conditioner and we were moved to another room. The pool area and beach are great. The restaurant is very average and service was slow, but it was wonderful to have a private terrace facing the beach and the rooms contain a mini refrigerator and comfprtable beds.

Our three-night stay at Villa Marina was thoroughly satisfying from start to finish. Reception was handled swiftly by Jasmine, whose warmth and friendliness immediately set a welcoming tone. We enjoyed three dinners and one lunch at the property’s restaurant, all of which were well prepared, fairly priced, and served by an engaging and patient team—especially appreciated given our very limited Spanish. The room itself was exceptionally comfortable, with a pristine bed, high-quality bedding, and excellent pillows that made for restful nights. The location was also ideal—peacefully situated as the furthest point from an unexpected late-night music event, which proved to be a real advantage. Finally, the beachfront setting was outstanding and truly elevated the entire experience. We would happily return.

Had a wonderful experience staying at Villa Marina Lodge. The Condo was in very good conditions and was very comfortable. The staff was always helpful and check-in was easy and smooth. The location is perfect with sights to the beach and just a few minutes walking from Playa Venao but still far enough to keep a quiet and relaxing environment in the area. Everything was good, I'd love to comeback!

We had a very short stay, so take this with a grain of salt. We checked in late and left early, so didn’t use many of the facilities. What we did see: the hotel is beautiful, great setting, nice pool, and the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. Room was very clean. Downsides: the AC worked but was quite loud, which made sleeping less ideal. The TV also wasn’t connected to Wi-Fi and we couldn’t get it working—but to be fair, it was late and we didn’t bother asking for help. Overall, good impression, just a couple of minor annoyances. With more time, we probably would have enjoyed it more.
