Cape Panwa Hotel

Overall tired and not as clean as it should be. Nice private beach

Very good service, excellent rooms and public areas, very good food, good local taxi service

Seems to be geared to seniors. Rooms very nice. Breakfast very good. Had Junior Suite. Overall nice but not worth $350 per night for 3 in a room.

I first stayed at this hotel approx. 5 years ago. Still a fantastic place today if you want a more quiet Phuket stay. Great staff, good food.

Hotel is near the beach and rooms are very nice. Service was not good as no one helped with our bags on check in and check out. Bell boys just sat by and watched. We requested garbage to be cleared out from our room while we were away, but they did not do it and we had request again before it was done.

The grounds and Gardens are impeccable. Kept pristine each day. Attended beach wedding here and can’t say enough good things about this place.

The resort itself was great. nice pool. 3 places to eat and drink. big selection at breakfast a plus. (having said that i was disappointed by the orange juice, not the delicious fresh thai orange juice i love so much) the private beach is beautiful, but wear water shoes as there is a lot of coral once you get past the sandy area, also bring goggles, there are lots of fish to see at low to mid tide. overall it's pretty tame at the hotel, not a party crowd, good for some quiet relaxation. the suite was very nice, includes a balcony with hot tub. there is a bus to town that goes back and forth every 5 minutes, convenient because of the big hill you would other wise have to walk. the local area is pretty sparse however, just a small night market with basic souvenir type wares for sale, and some street food. restaurants in the area however are very good, and affordable. overall, absolute paradise!

I have a major problem with how the Expedia reservation was handled. Despite the email confirmation that tells us we can choose to buy NYE tickets on arrival, we were actually already charged in full. And yet on arrival, no one deigned to even tell us we should reserve our seats. So even though we had booked eight weeks ago, we were left with the LAST choices for seats. Unclassy on both Expedia and the hotels part. Secondly, this is no doubt a beautiful property with otherwise lovely hardworking staff. But it is entirely geared towards Europeans. The breakfast buffet is a joke. Huge but you might as well be in Europe what with all the sausage. The few loca Thai options almost all have meat-yay for fried rice every single day. The pool is stunning. But there is limited canopied seats and despite signage warning people their seats will be taken if they leave for more than an hour, every single day we saw people reserve seats with nothing more than a towel and leave for leisurely breakfasts or whatever else. Don’t expect to get a seat even at 3pm because of this. Nothing is done by the staff of course. We had a beautiful cape suite with a stunning view from the balcony. The beach is quite nice. Also, Panwa House offers amazing food and is beautiful. But I wouldn’t stay here again. If you’re looking for an impersonal giant resort then sure this is your place.

Hotel rooms a little tired and could do with thorough clean. Absolutely appalled by the amount of trash plastic and string on the beach and in the ocean.

Was our second visit to Cape Panwa Hotel. Staff were wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. Still a great hotel in a quiet location. Highly recommend.
