8/10 Very good

Excellent stay
Great location in walking distance from everything but surrounded by thick rainforest which gives it a very private feel. Spacious rooms and comfortable furnishings.
Geoffrey, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommended hotel.
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.
Patrick, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel with good price.
Brian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice spot. Room very comfortable and staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. There were lots of nice walks closeby.
Stuart, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice little motel with great staff!
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.

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).
