Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Hotels in Phuket

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."

"Nothing great about this hotel. The gym is pretty standard but the breakfast is certainly below par. Location is close to Central Phuket around 200m but if you want to go to Phuket old town and beaches will require a car."

Kalima Resort & Spa Phuket ★★★★★
"We recently spent a wonderful few days at Kalima Resort and had an exceptionally pleasant experience. The service truly stands out. We were able to check in around 1 PM, even though the official check-in time was 3 PM, which was a very welcome relief after our journey. All the hotel staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. You can feel the high level of service and a genuine desire to make guests' stays comfortable. The breakfasts here are simply magnificent – some of the best we've had in Thailand. There's a huge selection of dishes to suit every taste: a variety of pastries, a chocolate fountain, Nutella and peanut butter, several types of meat, fish, sushi rolls, chicken shawarma, and much more. Everything is beautifully presented, and the dishes are constantly replenished; nothing runs out, even closer to the end of breakfast service. We stayed in a sea-view room, and this view was the highlight of our stay at the hotel. The panorama is so breathtaking that it feels like you're on an observation deck with a nearly 240-degree view. The glass balconies and floor-to-ceiling panoramic doors allow you to enjoy the sea even without leaving your room. The room itself is very cozy and pleasant, and the hotel grounds are well-maintained, green, and very photogenic. The pool is nice and comfortable, although the stunning views remained the main draw of the hotel for us. The location is also good: if you're traveling by scooter or car, you can reach Patong in just a few minutes. Walking isn't very convenient, but this wasn't a drawback for us. Kalima Resort left us with very fond memories. It's a place we'd love to return to for the amazing views, excellent service, and truly luxurious breakfasts."
