El Sitio's best feature is its location right on Playa Venao; 'You Are Where You Surf' is its motto. But even if you don't surf, the 16 splendid rooms, suites and apartments at this hotel partially built from recycled shipping containers will delight. Choose one of four suites with private sea-facing balconies or the fab new 'lighthouse' sleeping four.
El Sitio has an excellent restaurant as well as a surf shop that sells and rents equipment. Massage is available, as are activities such as jungle tours and seasonal turtle- and whale-watching (from US$38 per person). The welcome from hosts Lira and Assaf is especially warm; service is very attentive and professional.
