"Stayed in the "Bobby". Very happy with staff and accommodations. Outdoor pool was a nice change of pace. Great walks on beach exploring. Included breakfast was wonderful on the patio in front of the restaurant. A bit of trouble getting into resort as it is gated and needed a pin code, but once we got in, friendly staff greeted us. "
"Hotel Punta Franca is a real paradise!
A great place to stay and relax on the pacific cost of Panama.
Not my first time here and o always return to this little resort with the super comfortable rooms and suits viewing the ocean from a cliff, private beach, pool and open jacuzzi , fine restaurant and good breakfast, great positive and welcoming team. If you are looking for a place to stay and relax, this is certainly the place"

5/5 Excellent
"The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The condo was clean and a perfect size for our family of 4. The kitchen had all of the pots/cutlery you would want, but it would be nice to have a simple salt/pepper. They have separate towels for the pool areas/beach, which was nice, but no wash cloths. They don’t seem to be a thing in Panama in general. The pool near the condos was really nice, but it would be better if they had more stones/paving/grass around it bc there was quite a bit of dirt and it was hard to keep from tracking it into the pool. The restaurant was good and the waitress was very sweet. All in all a great spot away from the noise of the other resorts that have music late, etc. "

"The best place to stay in Playa Venao. The pool and hot tub overlook the beach and sunset. The room was very comfortable. The staff are friendly. Great for families with kids. The restaurant had generous portions. It’s steps away from surfing. I have been staying there for years and I highly recommend it."

"Playa Venao is an incredible beach that does not insist you surf! Great location. (be aware that google maps will take you to the wrong hotel, if that happens, ask around for directions) Room was comfortable, outdoor pool was great. Close to many great restaurants."

"Really good place.
Warm water, near the beach, beautiful place.
The only downside is that we got a dirty towel in the room and that they don’t give towels for the beach."
