Cape Panwa Hotel

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 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!

Hotel had a beautiful setting at the end of the Cape, a five minute walk from the local town. Private beach was the highlight but with an easterly facing aspect the sun was gone by 3pm each day. Breakfast was varied and good and staff were very helpful. Some of the dining options are in the sister hotel (Kantary Bay) in the local town and a steady stream of weddings and functions meant that at least one restaurant was fully booked out most nights. Plenty of massage options close by and cheap laundry services. Local dining options are good with Thai and Indian food, much better value than the hotel for the budget conscious. Overall a very relaxing and calm place to recharge the batteries.

Hotel is beautiful. Well maintained. Beach is gorgeous but you can’t swim at all. Rocky bottom and coral debris everywhere. Hotel should tell in advance so the customer is prepared with right shoe. I didn’t enjoy swimming at all because of the rocks. Hotel is located in the middle of nowhere. You can’t go out without hiring an expensive taxi provided only by hotel. Shuttle to Airport was extremely and ridiculously expensive. The most expensive taxi I’ve ever paid in my whole life. I won’t ever stay at this hotel. Prices are ridiculous. The customer is trapped at the hotel so if you want to go out, there is no other way than paying expensive taxi . WiFi doesn’t work so you can’t use grab for another taxi option. So disappointed!!

Stayed at Cape Panwa Hotel during Phuket Race Week (july 2018). Great location as the event was run from the hoitel. Friendly, helpful staff with good food selections and nice amenities. Might be a bit out of the way for some people but close enough to Phuket Town for exploring or a night out on the town.
