Dhensa Resort

We moved to this hotel after a night in Thimphu. It was wow from the word go. Beautiful hotel nested in the mountain. The place feels brand new and so clean. The room we had overlooked into the nature. So calming. I love the restaurant. So cosy. The food during buffet breakfast and dinner was good. Just too bad there was a tour group that was quite loud during our stay. Kind of kills the mood and ambience. Thankfully we have a corner table away from the main group. Service is very good. The hotel other than the restaurant during meals is quiet. Lovely hotel. A gem .

Arriving at the Dhensa Boutique Resort was wonderful after a challenging trek. The setting is beautiful, up in the hills outside of Punakha, and we had a lovely room looking out into the trees. A short massage at the spa was exactly what our tired legs needed. The restaurant is a beautiful place to sit, and had more personality than some of the other hotel restaurants we experienced. The restaurant staff were very happy to adapt the food for our dietary requirements, with the Indian and Bhutanese food from the a la carte menu excellent. The staff were all friendly and welcoming.

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.

Secluded units in a pine forest with views of the valley, personal service with a limited number of guests. Accommodation was excellent with comfortable bed and pillows. The restaurant provided interesting meals and choices. Wine and beer was available. At night there was a local dance carried out by the hotel staff around warm fires.

It was one of our memorable trip. The location and the rooms are so fantatic. They given hot apple tea as a welcome trip, superb taste. We enjoyed a lot. Very good dinning facitlity, whatever we asked they prepared and served with smiling face. Based on the nationality and food taste, they did the dining facility, it is really good and very much appreciated. Everyday evening Dhenso Management arranged a local culture program for the guest with free of cost and it was so fantastic and mind we also participated to dance with them. I would like to this opportunity to appreciate the staff behavior, Resort Manager, Chef,stewards and the maintenance team

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.
