Cape Panwa Holidays

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kantary Bay. Out of the five different hotels I visited during my vacation, this one was by far the most pleasant—it truly has its own unique soul and warmth. While the property is not brand new, it is incredibly well-maintained, exceptionally cozy, and spectacularly green. The abundance of lush plants and beautiful trees makes the entire place feel like a peaceful tropical paradise. What made my stay even more unforgettable was the exceptional hospitality. A very special thank you to Kik and Bow at the reception. It was such a heartwarming touch that they remembered me by name; it instantly made me feel at home. Every time I had a question, they were always happy to help with genuine smiles and constantly went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. I loved everything about this place. I am definitely planning to come back, and I cannot wait to bring my parents here next time to show them this hidden gem!

Staying at this hotel feels like coming home — as if visiting relatives after a long journey. After the tsunami, our family chose this place for safety and comfort, and we have returned no fewer than fifteen times since. The staff at the front desk, the manager, the head cook, and every team member here show genuine care and attention to their guests. Although the hotel does not have its own private beach, guests are welcome to enjoy the private beach of Cape Pawa, with a free shuttle bus provided. The view in front of the hotel is beautiful, and in the evenings, local Muslim community shops set up infrontof the hotel, offering a variety of street food that add charm to the atmosphere. This is truly a safe, peaceful, and welcoming place — perfect for rest and relaxation. I sincerely thank all the staff for welcoming my family like relatives.

Our stay at Kantary Bay Hotel was absolutely lovely and such a pleasant surprise. The rooms were very neat, clean, and comfortable, with incredibly comfy beds that made it easy to fully relax. One unexpected but very appreciated touch was having both a microwave and a fridge in the room, super handy and not something you always get at hotels. Drinking water was refilled daily, which we really appreciated, and the overall look and feel of the hotel felt like it was straight out of the 90s, in the best, most charming way possible. It has character, warmth, and a nostalgic feel that made the stay extra special. Breakfast was delicious with a great selection, and the bottomless coffee was a definite highlight. The location is also very convenient, with a 7/11, plenty of restaurants, and massage parlours close by. The views are stunning, especially from the rooftop pool, absolutely worth spending time up there. A huge bonus is that guests at Kantary Bay have access to the sister hotel, Cape Panwa, which is truly out of this world and feels incredibly luxurious. One small tip for future guests: don’t make the same mistake we did and attempt to walk to Cape Panwa from Kantary Bay, the hill between them is very steep. Rather make use of the complimentary shuttle service they provide. A comfortable, charming stay with incredible views and thoughtful extras.

Fantastic location and staff. Good breakfast and decent rooms. Close to all the restaurants in the local area. Great value for money. Perfect for families with children as well as for couples. Very affordable prices compared to the “luxury hotels” nearby. This is our second time here, and we will most definitely come back. Love it.

When we checked in the young thai lady was very informative and her english was very good. (there were westerner staff there as well) my husband and I highly recommend dinning at Cafè Andaman and Breafast as well. It's one of the best breakfast we ever had through our travelling. Chef Nattavut ran his kitchen very well, his food is delicious!! We went to the sunset dinner and the fire dance. We have seen better, it was uncoordinated dance and the food wasn't great. You be better off eating at Andaman Cafè. The little variety shop in the hotel was quiet cheap. Cape Spa and Beauty Salon was exceptional. Highly recommended! The hotel have shuttle bus to Phuket Town, Central Festival Shopping Centre 200 Baht per person return trip. And to Patong Beach 400 Baht per person return trip. Overall we will be returning for another brief stay.

An incredible experience. The rooms are spacious and luxurious with stunning views from the balcony. Massive choice of dining experience - some require dress code. A short walk to the beach will leave you breathless, not from the walk but from the incredible beauty and scenery. The water is only a few degrees cooler than air temperature. This hotel has to be top of your list of hotels.

Well only 2 stars due to very poor selection and really bad quality of the foodfor breakfast. I.e. they cooked spam ham for full english breakfast and labeled it as ham! No cheese or other cold deli. No thai good served (sic!). No chineese or indian either! This is not what you expect from 5 star resort, where we paid £670 per night, yes £670. Also no basic stuff available for free from hotel, when I asked for shaving kit, I was told that they do not do it, but apparently receptionst said I can buy it in small shop next to the reception. Again, this is expensive resort, not regular 5 star hotel. Kids area exists, and that is everything you can say. Soccer table game- doesnt work. Tvs - do not work. There is even ps4, but has no pad or games- when inquired at the reception they said they do not have it. Joke! Also, dsspite them saing that you have free water in the room, it is only 2 500ml bottele a day - it was 4 of us.... Of course, you can buy everything from mini bar- well overpriced, but that is what was expected. We had to take taxi to 7eleven to get snacks and water. On the other hand the hotel is in fair conditions, still needs some mainor repairs and painting, but in general is ok. Beach is beautiful. Loads of room for leaisure. Late checkout is £2k bats, not bad. Very good impression from Ukrainian receptionist, she let us check-in early. Generally it would be ok for £100 per nite, not £670. Will not come back. Sorry

This is our second visit to this very lovely hotel. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. Lisa and all the staff at the Cafe Andaman are delightful and ever helpful. The beach is beautiful, I would recommend reef shoes if you wish to walk at low tide. I enjoyed two visits to the Cape Spa - each were exceptional. Pony did a lovely job with massages and facial. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We will be back again.

Had a five night stay after exhausting tour of Vietnam/Cambodia and Thailand. This is a beautiful hotel in serene and tranquil surroundings. Room overlooked the bay and was clean and spacious. Buffet breakfast was excellent and evening meals very good with a wide range of choice. Pool was fantastic and beds a plenty. Private beach is beautiful. Shuttle bus to nearby village is brilliant. Special mention to the Lighthouse Bar and their Happy Hours.....superb..... Good live music during dinner and also at Lighthouse Bar. Staff very helpful and attentive Hope to visit again.

A truly beautiful resort! The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with stunning views of the bay. The pool area is truly charming, and its location at Cape Panwa feels like a hidden gem compared to the busier areas of Phuket. Especially Yogi, who is always smiling, very responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed in the breakfast area. It’s attentive service like this that turns a good stay into an extraordinary one. Highly recommended!

We stayed at Pullman Phuket Panwa during our trip to Thailand and overall had a very pleasant experience. The hotel itself is beautiful, peaceful, and very comfortable, with a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the staff. Everyone was kind, professional, welcoming, and always willing to help. Their hospitality made us feel comfortable throughout the entire stay. The rooms, facilities, and overall ambiance of the hotel were very enjoyable, and the property feels calm and well maintained. Breakfast and service were also very good. The only downside for us was the sea at Cape Panwa. Compared to some other beaches in Thailand, we personally did not enjoy the beach and sea experience there as much as we expected. Still, we had a lovely stay overall and would like to thank the entire Pullman Phuket Panwa team for their hospitality and care.

Uthit and Bank, who were part of the water sports activities crew, were very helpful and friendly. They helped my 70+ year old mom get into a kayak during high tide and made us feel incredibly well taken care of during the process. This happened on multiple days. Thanks so much for providing this experience. The resort itself is very nice, and the pool and gym are good. I would recommend staying here if you want to stay mostly at the resort and not do many excursions, as it is quite far from the happening spots. Very nice place to zen out and recharge.

A perfect weekend staycation at Pullman Panwa especially during the rainy season. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, making it the ideal place to unwind and enjoy a peaceful getaway. A great buffet breakfast, and we also loved the rainy day promotion at the lobby bar—every time it rained, drinks were buy one, get one free, which made the experience even more enjoyable. What truly made this stay special, was the staff warm and hospitality. A special shout-out to Khun Nat, who was amazing, attentive and incredibly accommodating throughout our stay. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning again soon. Kind Regards, R. Evans

Went to the Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach for our 1 year wedding anniversary. The Pullman made the experience very enjoyable - the staff were very friendly and assisted with return transfers to and from Phuket airport. The staff were also very kind in assisting me move the dates of our stay by 1 day due to a flight cancellation. Breakfast at Aqua was always fantastic and Aun, Noona, Kate and Yah and Nanny were very friendly and provided excellent service! They were always very nice! As a Platinum Accor member the team at Aqua always offered sparkling wine or sparkling water and offered special breakfast dishes. The Thai Kitchen night at Aqua was amazing - the chef cooked up a pad Thai which was delicious. The resort has everything you could want and has its own private beach which is really nice. Super highly recommend!

Hotel room and facilities were very high quality. The staff were lovely and very accommodating. Expect additional charges; we ordered a sparkling water (as we had food poisoning and couldn’t leave our rooms for our pre-purchased breakfast). We were charged 700 baht (approx $32 AUD) for sparkling water. The hotel staff also ordered us a taxi which they charged additional fees for, on top of the taxi fare. It is best to use the Grab app (uber) for transport instead of asking hotel staff. The hotel is not in an ideal location for visiting other places but it is great if you are wanting to stay in a quiet resort and enjoy the view. Be prepared for unreasonable price mark ups.

I’m writing this review as I am having an extremely romantic dinner at Amatara Wellleisure Resort in Phuket. Shout out to Nui and Mr. Top for helping me organise the whole stay. I am here for a marriage proposal, and I am very glad I picked the right hotel. From the private pool in my Pool Suite, the view from the room, to the hotel’s own little private beach, it is a very relaxing but also surreal experience for my fiancée and myself. Nui and Mr. Top assisted in delivering this romantic dinner setup, WITHOUT ME EVEN INSTRUCTING THEM TO DO SO. For me, it is the definition of top class service - knowing what the customers want. My waiter is Nut, who is excellent. All in all, 10/10 would recommend this resort. Every staff is very friendly and very efficient.

Nice stay. The pools are great (and massive) and we had a pool by our room which was perfect. However, the beach is too rocky to swim nicely and more of a cove, so don’t count on having beach days here. If you only want the pool, no problem. Food was good but overpriced heavily. You can walk to the restaurants on the street which has good food options. They offer transport to the entrance of the resort. The location is secluded so just be sure that this is your vibe before booking.

This is our third time at Amatara, and so far, we haven't found anything comparable in Thailand! Thank you to all the staff who give their best day after day at this fantastic resort! Whether by the pool, on the beach, in the lobby, or in one of the restaurants, it's beautiful everywhere, and you simply feel at ease. THANK YOU!!! ONE COMPLAINT: The crows at the resort are becoming a problem. There are simply too many! They are noisy, and they seem to be getting closer every year. It's particularly bothersome at the main pool and during breakfast. Something needs to be done about the crows (relocating them).

Hands down one of the best properties in Phuket. The hotel seemed new and maintained, sufficient vegetarian options in the menu. The receptionist was very welcoming to all our queries and they provided us with a free upgrade as well. Special mention to "Jasper" who patiently addressed our questions and went out of her way to make our stay pleasant. Since we had an early morning flight, they kept a breakfast basket ready for us to take on the go, without us even asking or mentioning the same. The housekeeping was very thorough and clean rooms. Hotel itself was located at a beautiful cliff with an amazing view to enjoy at all times with their private beach. Truly a wonderful stay.
