Dhensa Resort

We liked the tranquil setting and comfort of the Dhensa in Punakha. We prefer smaller hotels like this. We had a lovely room (303) that the staff told us had the best views in the hotel. We agree. We had a private deck looking down on the river. The king sized bed was very comfortable and there’s a couch, arm chair and desk chair by the desk. WiFi was good. The bathroom was large and had both a tub and separate shower. The hotel has a good restaurant which, due to its location well outside town, is a definite necessity. The hotel offers cocktails by the bonfire before dinner, and the staff perform traditional Bhutanese dances while you enjoy your drink. They’ll invite you to join them and will teach you a few steps. The dinner was a buffet with Bhutanese and continental selections. We stuck to the Bhutanese and ordered the cheese potatoes and chillies to add to the buffet. Very good. Overall the food was good but not superb. Breakfast was a buffet with eggs and pancakes to order. Our building was down the hill from reception so we only interacted with them at checkin and checkout. Very quick and thorough. All in all, we highly recommend it. Hotels of this caliber come at high cost in Bhutan but provide you a wonderful sanctuary in which to spend the night.

Resort was decent not extraordinary. Location was excellent. Staff were very courteous. But we had bad experience in breakfast and dinner. We had 2 dinners & 2 breakfasts ,but many Items were repeated in both. Very less options for vegetarians. We did spa there and we were forcibly charged service charges of 10% although we were not happy with the service provided. Lady at the reception was very rude in her approach and very reluctant to accept that they are charging me forcibly, against our wish.

Perched high up on the sides of a river canyon, the Dhensa Resort is simply spectacular, and very different than the other resorts we stayed at in Bhutan. It's much more European, or perhaps Scandinavian, than Bhutanese, but that didn't bother us in the least. The view is awesome (or would have been, with better air quality, but that wasn't Dhensa's fault), the service was profession and pleasant, and the rooms were gorgeous. We loved this place.

it was the best experience of my life to stay at dhensa resoet , a beautifull property in lush green enviornment , special thanks to cheff suraj for the delicious food ,i would love to travel again with my family and friends ,i also recommend bhutan one of the preffered destination to enjoy holidays with family and friends

We were very lucky to have planned our trip with Travel Guru in Thimphu. This meant we were able to stay in the very nice resort in Phunaka. Everything was excellent, very nice, puristic decor and very, very good food. Unfortunately too short. Next time we will plan at least 2-3 days. The hotel is beautifully situated in the forest. Thank you

We really enjoyed our time at this exceptional resort. The view from our room was fantastic, and it was quiet and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent. We also really enjoyed the cultural show. We would highly recommend this resort.
