El Sitio Hotel, Restaurant & Bar

Super nice place! Great rooms with everything you need including clean rooms and nice staff. Highly recommendable!

My stay at El Sitio was amazing!
they deserve a 100/5 to be honest. Everyone was helpful, nice and polite. Front desk, restaurant staff goes above and beyond. I’ve ask questions and they have helped in every way possible. The room, pool and restaurant was so nice, Not to mention that the location is WOW!
I would definitely come back.

We heard about El Sitio from many friends who visited, only good things.
We stayed for one week in one of the suites in the front.
Almendro suite. Great view from the privet balcony, very clean. Staff was helpful in the hotel and the restaurant.
Menu had a great variety for vegetarians and carnivores.
Recommended.

Great food, great views, boat drinks, and the beach. Life is good.

We loved our stay in El Sitio. Awesome location, great rooms and lovely and hospitable staff. We stayed in the apartments and really enjoyed our time. Highly recommended!

Unique hotel and condos with all that we needed. We liked that it was on the edge of the busier area of Venao and easy to walk to everything. The restaurant was good, the surf shop on sight provided great surf lessons and boards to rent, the pool was nice to have and the landscaping and design of the hotel were both appealing.

Burning man themes and amazing parties and music!

El Sitio is it's own little unique world and 100% the vision and personality of the owner Assaf, who you'll find hanging out watching the sunset every evening adjusting his music to set the mood. The resort is situated in the center of the cove and the bar and restaurant are the perfect places to relax and watch surfers. The food is amazing, more expensive then the surrounding places but definitely worth it. Rooms are off to the side and separate from the bar which makes it feel more secluded and cuts down on noise. They are beach front with couches and hammocks so you can easily relax by your room in the shade or walk a few feet to the beach. Our ground floor room was clean, spacious, with a king bed, great A/C and a half step to get in. The resort is doable in a wheelchair with some difficulty. The front desk has a very large step but the receptionist will come out. They have short grass throughout the resort with flagstone paths between rooms so rolling is much easier on the grass. The bar and restaurant are on a well maintained boardwalk. Staff was very nice, courteous, and patient with any language barrier. The owners live on site and someone from the family is always around to assist with anything.

Always is a good place to come with family or friends, over and over... Very nice service, always available for any request. The bar is so nice, beachfront with good chillout music and cocktails will make you experience like no other. In the restaurant they have a varied menu with fresh and good ingredients.

I stayed there for the weekend, amazing rooms very clean room, stuff is very nice and helpful. Don’t miss the Tune in the restaurant- the best I had!

We stayed in an adjacent hotel, I wish I had knew about El Sitio previously and would have stayed there.
My 10 year old daughter fell and split her chin deeply- I’m a doctor and there was no question that she needed the wound closed.
We were about to go to a public clinic (which I was nervous about the care that would be given) when someone mentioned that Assaf, the owner of El Sitio was a medic.
We went to his hotel; he didn’t care that we weren’t staying in his facility and took such good care, with a warm touch, skill and true compassion for my daughter.
The hotel itself appeared very hospitable, well maintained and a perfect get away location. It will be our chosen place next time we return to the area.

This is for the restaurant only: we didn't stay at El Sitio, but we ate here every day sometimes twice a day because it was by far the best food in Venao. The breakfasts were particularly good, but lunch and dinner also delicious. The view is also great, just remember bug spray if you're coming at night. My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that many of the drinks were unavailable due to lack of ingredients during the several days we visited.

Just wonderful. Everything was so great. The restaurant is amazing and right in front of the surf break. The best night of my life - sea turtles hatching and walking to the water, just amazing.

The best hotel in Playa Venao, excellent service, quality at the highest level and a magical atmosphere, there is no doubt that I will return

Charming upscale rustic Hotel, Great location, right on the beach. Very good food, especially for breakfast which is unusual. Owners were on premise and working very hard when we were there. They have a questionaire at check out for guest to describe their experience and let the owners know of any shortfalls in service, food, accomodations, etc. Some of the best service we have found in Panama, oh and the toilet paper is super soft LOL!

Great location for chilling on the ocean (20 m from the water) with good music, good coffee and delicious food. Not cheap but worthy. The WiFi connection is very good so if you have some work to do online, this is the place to be.

Honestly the best restaurant in playa venao. REALLY great, complex but not pretentious food, amazing service and a great vibe next to the beach where a dj plays those nice housey tunes. Must try if you are in playa venao

Restaurant & Bar are amazing. Tasty & healthy food, great vibes, superb life dj music & unpretentious vibes. Definitely a place worth a visit!

Beautiful place, stunning design and especially delicious food, wonderful service

I totally recomend Selina if you want to have a nice time away and enjoy nature, the ocean, good food and drinks💗 Attention is super great and you'll feel welcome once you get there!
