Every thing about our visit here was fantastic. The lady running reception (sadly I didn’t get her name) was exceptional. Nothing was an issue for her. Rooms are great, it’s close to town. Will 100% go back there. Highly recommend.

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.

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.
