We recommend it if you want to be away from the busy and noisy area of Playa Venao. Very safe, pleasant and quiet. You can have nice dining experience at walking distance at the other hotels and restaurants in the area.

Not worth the money. Stay away.
If you’re looking for a place to get a quiet peaceful night of sleep, this is NOT it.
The photos and description are drastically misleading. The place is in desperate need of cleaning and repair. The service was non-existent. And the the price, for what you get is insane. The prior 2 nights we stayed at a 5 star golf and beach resort an hour a way, for a lot less and the service was impeccable. This will be my last booking on hotel.com as I’m not confident in the accuracy of the property from seeing photos and descriptions.

El lugar es bonito y muy tranquilo, es una buena opción para considerar a la hora de ir a playa venao. El desayuno estaba bueno y la piscina no tenía horario.

This was our second visit to this area of Panama, since our first visit in 2010. The hotel was just as lovely as we remembered, and the staff just as attentive.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay!! Dennis at the front desk was very helpful & accommodating when we asked to extend our stay! We loved the location! It was so convenient to walk to Playa Venao but far enough away to have quiet evenings. We enjoyed the pool too!! The view with the island right across from the beach was amazing! The staff provided excellent service. We look forward to returning soon!
Villa Marina Lodge is a very nice small hotel very in playa Venao yet away from the beach- crowded area. You can rent a comfortable room with ocean view and still keep your privacy.
It is a perfect place to spend some quiet time and enjoy the scenery.
It is clean, comfortable and affordable..
