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

Brian, 1-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

We love our room at the Punga Grove! It looked back onto a forest. It felt very chalet like!
Linda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect size unit for our 2 night stay. Lots of dining options and close to glaciers and hiking
Gregory, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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).
