A con is that there is only one shop which has basically nothing and is really expensive; so you either have to bring your food or eat at the bar in the hostel. The beach itself is good for surfers, but you can also enjoy the waves without a board. There are only two (or maybe three; nobody knows) buses from Pedasí to Playa Venao: once in the morning (I think at 7) and once at 12 o'clock. It takes around 1.5 hours. Keep your eyes open and when you see the sign of the hostel, shout "(la) parada, por favor"](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248623255031854/958c00bb-089b-4002-aca5-f2b1d25c2032.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Los Destiladeros Beach 43 min drive \- 42.1 km - ![The birds at Playa El Arenal's rustic sandy beach, where boat rides to Isla Iguana Wildlife Refuge are commencing.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6286167/77aad0ef-76e6-4f02-b605-517a185284ee.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Playa El Arenal 48 min drive \- 43.2 km - Venao Beach 8 min walk \- 0.7 km - Puerto Escondido Beach 46 min drive \- 43.9 km - Playa El Toro 47 min drive \- 43.7 km ### Getting around - Pedasí Airport (PDM) 42 min drive ### Restaurants - Gatto Blanco 5 min walk - Hummuseria 2 min walk - Ruben’s 7 min walk - Panga 7 min walk - Sol 2 min walk ## About this property ### WAO Beach Hotel Hotel near Venao Beach Take advantage of a poolside bar, 3 bars, and 3 restaurants at WAO Beach Hotel.

You arrive to a big welcome and she even walked us to our room! It’s an incredible place with nothing but beach in front of you. They were doing work on the pool when we were there but cleaned it often, and the lower portion was repaired by the time we left. We surfed every day and took lessons with Jack. He was so helpful and again positive. Surfing is incredibly easy especially for kids and non big wave surfers. When I was surfing in the evening, a real surfer…who I later saw was an instructor at another surf camp, swam over and gave me some help and advice just being friendly. The food at La Playa and the Pizzeria was so good! We kept saying this was the best…burger, tuna, etc. we have ever had. This was an incredible find. It’s definitely a dusty little surf village, and not a 5 star resort as it is all made from sea-cans, but still super cool and clean and I don’t think another place is as good in Playa Venao. We saw all the resorts and walked all the beach to compare. Sitting in the pool, and on the chairs at night gave you experience you will never forget. We will definitely be back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fae53c99-ed52-43ab-a6d5-1005125dce56-1768358389071.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/847ed506-4fc2-4fb3-9d0f-cc5a7943485d-1768358427810.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/767d783a-7973-42aa-a0ff-3dfc4691381e-1768358466057.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba8deb2b-9c93-4327-a2d8-f3bb6975eccc-1768358475870.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Corinne Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels with Free Parking in Coquitlam](https://www.expedia.ca/Coquitlam-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Parking.0-0-d10583-tHotelswithFreeParking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with smoking rooms in Downtown Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Montreal-Montreal-Hotels-Hotels-With-Smoking-Rooms.0-n6058201-0-tHotelswithsmokingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Bar in Montparnasse](https://www.expedia.ca/Montparnasse-Paris-Hotels-Hotels-With-Bar.0-n178673-0-tHotelswithBar.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Ko Lanta](https://www.expedia.ca/Ko-Lanta-Hotels.d6035252.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Waterslides in Minot](https://www.expedia.ca/Minot-Hotels-Hotels-With-Waterslides.0-0-d2392-tHotelswithWaterslides.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Winery Hotels in Long Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Long-Island-Hotels-Winery-Hotel.0-0-d602887-tWineryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Rawai Condo by Rents In Phuket](https://www.expedia.ca/Phuket-Hotels-Rawai-Condo-By-Rents-In-Phuket.h36709018.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Nice](https://www.expedia.ca/Nice-Hotels.d180102.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [B&B Litchfield](https://www.expedia.ca/Litchfield-Bed-And-Breakfast.d126398-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Ineno Funaya](https://www.expedia.ca/Ineno-Funaya-Hotels.d6347721.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Sherbourne Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Sherbourne-Station-Hotels.d6212457.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Bowmore Distillery](https://www.expedia.ca/Bowmore-Distillery-Hotels.0-l6088327-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aYLW-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Londonderry (MHT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/mht/vancouver-to-manchester) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to El Prat de Llobregat (BCN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/man/bcn/manchester-to-barcelona) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/lax/victoria-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Lincoln (YFC) to Rio Segundo (SJO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yfc/sjo/fredericton-to-san-jose) > > [Flights from Miami (MIA) to Simpson Bay (SXM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mia/sxm/miami-to-philipsburg) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/mia/halifax-to-miami) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Orlando-Intl.d5194573.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Gardone Riviera](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Gardone-Riviera.d4312.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Rent A Wreck Car Rentals In North York](https://www.expedia.ca/Rent-A-Wreck-Car-Rentals-In-North-York.d6070426-c33.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities ### General > [Visit Mossleigh](https://www.expedia.ca/Mossleigh.dx3000474898) > > [Visit Province of Messina](https://www.expedia.ca/Province-Of-Messina.dx6052974) > > [Visit Login](https://www.expedia.ca/Login.dx553248635118524928)
