8th stay.Already planning the 9th.
+ This was our 8th stay at this amazing hotel. So they must have got something right. For the first time we stayed in a pool villa and it was so worth it. We had early morning and late night swims and it was so spacious. It was fun floating and watching the beach tram pass by. It was great to be living in the heart of the wonderful gardens and waking up with the wildlife. Our previous visit was post covid and it was a little sad then. Now the hotel and the resort are back to full strength and thriving. It is the hotel’s 40th anniversary next year and so we are definitely planning our next visit. All the staff are so attentive and helpful. It is so difficult to pick out anyone .However the wonderful Ukrainian receptionist is worth a special mention. She is bubbly, efficient and helpful, always there with a ready smile and looking very glamorous despite the time of day and the heat.

Another great visit to this lovely hotel
+ Yet another visit to one of our favourite places on the planet.
We normaly visit in July or November so were interested to see how the sea and the weather would be at this time of year. We had blue skys every single day with just a brief shower at 10 pm one evening .
Reception is really helpful and I would like to mention Pim, Maggie and Ivy who helped out with several requests during our visit as we kept losing things!!
The restaurants we visited in the hotel, Andaman cafe, Bamboo Bar, Uncle nans and Panwa house were all superb but the big surprise for us this year was Uncle Nans.
A previous visit a couple of years ago had stopped me wanting to return. It wasn't bad but just not as good as the others . This time we ate there 4 times because the food was really good and what a great menu. The ambience feels authentic too and the music was perfect for an italian restaurant. The addition of some new very good quality wines which can be bought by the glass , secured our repeat visits

Third Stay and Still Unbeatable – A True Home from Home
+ Our third visit to this hotel—and it still doesn’t disappoint. Nothing quite compares. The setting is stunning, with a beautiful beach, and the staff truly go above and beyond every time.
Special thanks to Sandy at the beach bar for always taking such great care of us, Dear for arranging an amazing room upgrade on arrival, and Pim for going out of her way to help track down an item we’d left behind at another hotel in Khao Lak.
Both the hotel and the surrounding village feel like a home from home for us, which is why so many guests return time and time again—it really says it all.
The only small change we noticed since our first visit is the switch to newer, metal-framed sun loungers. While perfectly functional, we did feel this is a slight step down from the original rattan-style beds with large cushions, which suited the beach setting beautifully. The layout also felt a little more compact than before. That said, it didn’t impact our stay—we were still able to find comfortable spo

Good hotel
+ We have just returned home after 2 weeks at cape panwa .The room u315 was excellent walk in shower large comfortable beds nice sea view and nice seating area plus a large balcony . We are in all the restaurants as we were on a full board the food was very good our favourite was top of the reef next to otters bar ( happy hour 5pm to 6 pm ) the lunch at bamboo was good with large portions the beef burger was superb , we never had a problem getting a sun lounger at the beach or both of the pools, all the staff were so well mannered and spoke English and nothing was to much trouble , we did the trip to Coral island with the hotel which was good approx £30 each . The drinks at the hotel are not cheap approx £5 for a small beer but don’t let it spoil your holiday enjoy . At night you can drink at half the hotel price at uncle Johns bar just out side the hotel one minute walk up the hill . This is a lovely hotel and you get a fresh beach towel every day from the beach or the pool

Absolutely superb, quality resort with exceptional staff.
+ We have stayed here once before and on this return, we were only ever going to select this fabulous Hotel Resort. This is a rather special resort. Whilst Phuket City is crowded, dirty, busy and congested, the Cape Panwa resort, just a few miles away, is an Oasis of Calm with extensive facilities, a private, beautiful Beach and a generally 5 Star experience.
On arrival we were given a considerable, free room update, so we have now stayed in both basic and deluxe rooms. Both are superb.
The Reception always go above and beyond, but when my Wife had a bad Stomach Upset/Food Poisoning from our previous location (Phi phi), Maggie the receptionist was exceptional, getting the shop opened, advising on Charcoal Medication and generally being an absolute credit to the Resort. We also had dealings with Cassie on reception, whose friendly advice was invaluable
I would unhesitatingly recommend this Resort to anybody visiting the area with a Family or a wish to relax. Their are excellent Restaurant
