Sawasdee Village

On the day of departure, after checking out, we were able to use the shower room, which meant we could spend time by the pool after the 12 PM checkout.

The room has been newly renovated, but the air conditioning is really old and loud even on the lowest setting, which made it hard to sleep at night. It feels like a five-star hotel environment, but with a three- or four-star room."

Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket
"Spent a wonderful week at Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket, and it was an experience of 'old-school luxury plus ultimate tranquility' at a slow pace. Perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Patong and just fully relax. - Environment & Location: The hotel is built on the hillside of Cape Panwa, boasting a secluded private beach. It's incredibly uncrowded; while the water isn't as crystal clear as the west coast, its peacefulness more than makes up for it. The lush, forest-like grounds offer stunning sea views and the sunset pier is incredibly photogenic. - Room Facilities: This is an established five-star hotel with some history. The rooms are spacious, the balconies are huge, and the bedding is comfortable. Basic cleaning is thorough, and the service is attentive. - Dining & Service: The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety and delicious food. The Wednesday night seafood buffet with a firework show is absolutely spectacular! The staff are generally gentle and always smiling. The pool and beach chairs are well-maintained, ideal for a day of reading and unwinding. - Weekly Stay Summary: The advantages are safety, privacy, and beautiful greenery. There are many European and American families, who are generally well-behaved, creating a relaxed 'familiar resort' vibe after staying for a while."
