Great location in walking distance from everything but surrounded by thick rainforest which gives it a very private feel.
Spacious rooms and comfortable furnishings.

An amazing hotel room, very spacious and with a rain forest outside the patio doors. The staff were excellent. My only criticism is driving to our cabin as the road is narrow, but if you take care it’s not a problem.

We had a great stay at Punga Grove! It was a perfect place to lay our heads after a long travel day. It was such a nice feeling to get out of the car with our tired, grumpy, restless kids, and be greeted with such warmth and kindness from the person at the front desk. We all perked up immediately. The loft suite was perfect for our family of five. The room was very tidy, and the beds were comfortable.

We love our room at the Punga Grove! It looked back onto a forest. It felt very chalet like!
Linda

10/10
The room, I think it was an executive suite, was very comfortable and quiet. We loved that it looked into some forest so it felt very private. We ate meals on the deck. The kitchenette had all the basic tools we needed. The fireplace was extra cozy and warmed the room quickly. The jetted tub was so relaxing after a day of hiking! Overall, we loved it and would recommend and stay again.

This was a lovely place to stay. Really appreciated the fireplace being on when we arrived. The room was well laid out and very clean. Only complaint was the scaffolding around the place (was not noisy though).
