Why Travelers Love The Lodge
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Tensing Pen was one of the best resorts I've ever had the pleasure of staying at!! The food, every meal was fabulous! Fresh and homemade and delicious and beautifully served! Diving off the cliffs was exciting and the water was gorgeous ! So cool to be able to snorkel right at the resort. The rooms were stunning and comfortable. Privacy for everyone and easy to get together for our group!! I will be planning another trip!! Thank you 🙏 Truly relaxing with a wonderful staff—Tensing Pen is the perfect escape. Don’t come with a packed agenda; just unwind. Bring a few books, sip cocktails, enjoy delicious food, and take a swim. We loved trying the restaurants across the street, especially Rick’s Cafe (the cliff divers are wild!) and even the lively bar next door—yes, even with "Happy Birthday" playing 50 times a night. Tensing Pen for the win. The Lodge Restaurant is an absolutely beautiful setting especially for dinner, on the cliffs overlooking the ocean and the picturesque hammock hut. The staff is so friendly and makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere is relaxed, never snobby, yet you can either dress more up or more down and fit in either way. Portions are generous and food is tasty. But if you *really* want to enjoy this place, you must STAY at Tensing Pen and not just enjoy their restaurant. We've been coming for years and always return to this spot because it is the perfect combination of rustic and luxury (think outdoor showers, thatched roofs, and no TVs or phones, but with high-end linens, great beds, and A/C), it's always so chill, it's a breathtakingly gorgeous and well-kept property. You can keep more to yourself or enjoy meeting new people, which we love. Tensing Pen does a great job at attracting relaxed, heartful, down-to-earth travelers who simply enjoy great taste, comfort, and beautiful aesthetics. And the people who work there are so warm, so open-hearted, you'll never forget the One Love feeling emanating from every single person there. A MUST STAY!

We were married ten years ago at Tensing Pen for a private ceremony. Finally ten years later we were able to stay for a quick trip to celebrate our anniversary and we sure enjoyed relaxing with some adventure by the sea. Everyone there was super friendly and we felt right at home. We can’t wait to go back one day. The food was exceptional and we loved the feel of seclusion in the gardens. Also the dogs were a bonus. Yoga was awesome! She really made our day on our anniversary. And the seaside massages omy Jah amazing!!! Thank you so much to our Tensing Pen family can’t wait to see you all again! Special shoutout to Randall at the Lodge and Nikolai lifeguard for giving us that extra attention and going out of your way to be so nice! Countless other friendly people to name too. One love!

The food and drinks at the Tensing Pen restaurant were phenomenal. Not to mention the service. My favorite dish was the Escovich Snapper and Razor kept my Dark and Stormies coming. Can’t wait to go back.
