The property and location were beautiful. The distance from even the local shops was inconvenient, and getting to the town centre quite expensive. Considering these factors, having the main bar closed for 2 days each week as the restaurants were, on rotation, it would be a good relax for adults but could be a bit difficult with kids

Positives The lobby area is beautiful, rooms are a decent size with a huge comfy bed. The hotel grounds are lovely & tropical. The swimming pool is a good size, clean and was never too busy during my stay. The beach is nice but it’s not like the images you see online. The hotel staff are nice & approachable, especially the ladies at the front desk. Good variety of breakfast options. Frequent free shuttle service to Cape Kantary (sister hotel) & its nearby amenities/ restaurants. Negatives It’s not a 5-star luxury resort (perhaps it was when it first opened). The rooms (& bathrooms) are dated. The rooms are somewhat clean/ could be cleaner. Unwanted room guests; on two consecutive days I had a gecko/ lizard lurking in the fridge cupboard. Hats off to housekeeping who managed to find and catch the gecko/ lizard on both occasions. I understand that it’s a tropical destination, (& it’s not my first time in a tropical location), but it’s not great that this happened twice within my first 4 nights at Cape Panwa Hotel. I reached out to Cape Panwa Hotel more formally on the above but I haven’t received a response (and I since checked out). Unable to accommodate an earlier check-in (I wasn’t the only guest to experience this). Activities lack authenticity; e.g batik painting. What guests actually do is ‘colour in’ a pre-batik drawn design using the paints provided. That’s all there was to it.

I have visited theCape Panwa 7 times over the last 23 years and very little has changed. However certain areas have now fallen way below what weI expected. Service in all areas is so poor that guests have given up eating in the hotel. Breakfast is not a patch on what it used to be and is the same everyday. There is no supervision of staff, clearly no training for new staff even to understand the basics of serving a guest. A few of the remaining long term staff have also given up ( their words not mine) as no one seems to care anymore. The decking around the pool area has been there for over 30+ years and is now so dangerous for all guests. Tiles are missing from the main pool and rust is showing in the pool. There are many other tripping hazards in and around the hotel which have been painted black so you can see them better, especially in the dark. ( Really). The hotel general manager was on site but not once did I see him talk to a member of staff or a guest. What a shame for such a beautiful place to have fallen.

The property itself is beautiful and scenic. We loved the private beach, and the view from breakfast never got old. But the food and service is severely lacking, as well as much of the accommodations becoming outdated and worn. The staff at the front desk are helpful and accomodating, but that's where it ends. Several times there were situations I could have used help, like carrying luggage, but the staff offered no assistance. Room service is also lacking. Due to issues created through language barriers, we were not able to effectively communicate with the staff, which led to several misunderstandings and, once, being hung up on. This also leads me to the food, which was extremely lacking in flavor and variety despite the high cost. For example, there were several breakfasts where there were simply no options to eat other than Western food, like bread pudding, bacon, or beans. Since we were at a resort in Thailand, I really expected many more Thai food options than we ever got. In addition to the poor quality of food, restaurants often had high wait times for food to be served or was forgotten about completely. As an example, we waited nearly 40 minutes on a salad at the Bamboo bar. When we went back later, it was over an hour and it was clear the server simply forgot about the order. Overall, I'm disappointed with our experience at a five-star resort. The grounds were stunning and we loved the Panwa house, but everything else was underwhelming. We will not be back.

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 its 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 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.

We got married here and it was an amazing experience and more than we could have ever hoped for. Nothing was too much for Aom who is amazing. The hotel itself was great and the beach is beautiful.
