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.
