Top Punta Mala Hotel Reviews

Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Words cant express how amazing this place and the staff are!"

La Cusinga Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful property. We stayed in the Jaguarundi room and had a lovely view of the whale tale from our room’s balcony. It was a very nice size with a separate bedroom (but note there is not a door to close it off) and a separate sitting area and an additional area next to the sitting area with an additional queen bed. It’s so lush all around the property and we saw so many beautiful birds and some spider monkeys from our room. The bathroom was absolutely beautiful with a stone shower and counter. The staff were lovely and so helpful. There are hiking trails on the property which was really cool to have access to. Be aware there is no AC but there are ceiling fans and stand fans. We were here in September and found it doable but at times it can feel a bit warm. We would happily stay here again."
