The hotel

Nothing less than idyllic, Cape Panwa offers a quiet retreat in the southeast corner of this popular island. Excellent service, stylish rooms and world-class amenities can all be enjoyed as well as a secluded beach for hotel guests only. All suites and villas boast plenty of space and light with airy décor. There’s a variety to choose from, ideal for couples, families or groups of friends. Activities at the Cape Panwa abound – although if you want to do nothing more than laze by one of the 2 pools, that’s absolutely fine! For moments when you’re feeling more active, there are water sports galore, including canoes and stand-up paddle boards. As well as sporting activities, there are cultural activities and a spa in which to feel truly pampered. Children are welcomed with open arms and there’s plenty for them to do too, allowing parents time out to soak up the sun. Dining is plentiful at the Panwa, there are several superb restaurants, serving dishes from around the globe. There are also four bars to unwind in at the end of the day, sipping on a handcrafted cocktail perhaps whilst listening to a live band at The Light House or the swell of the sea at Bamboo Bar.

Lisa at Cafe Andaman is an exceptional waitress! Her friendly demeanor and attentiveness truly enhance the dining experience. She's quick to offer recommendations, and makes us feel like valued customers. Her service is efficient and professional, and she always has a smile. Highly recommend seeking her out when you visit!

We had our wedding at cape panwa in April, we organised it all through the hotel with an amazing lady called Aom! Nothing was too much it was, so easy and laid back experiences everything we asked for and more was given to us. We had our wedding on the terrace and the evening It was super secluded didn't feel like we were in a hotel at all It was right out of the way with amazing views. It comes highly recommended from us and our family. We also stayed at cape panwa for 10 days with a group of 8 adults. It was a beautiful stay and plenty to do around with a free bus into the little harbour town with loads of restaurants to choose from. It's not too far from the main town but we only did one trip as we were so busy. We only had breakfast included but it was always fresh and lots of choice for lunch we ate at the main restaurant and the pool! Would really recommend the pool bar and the food It was really great food. The only thing I would suggest is if you have mobility issues ask for a room closer to the pool as there are some rooms with a few steps but if you are near the pool you'll be close to everything.

A very quiet place to stay, about 30mins away from Phuket, but that is what we expected. Two weeks of sheer delight. All the staff were so polite, helpful, and we never saw a frown. Special mention to both Aon-aon and to Nuch, who both helped my disabled wife so much.

Overall, It was an amazing experience. Staff were friendly and accommodating, speciall mention to Hazel, Bea and Aon-aon at cafe Andaman. There were few girls who looks after us but forget to ask there name, my apologies. The room was exceptional with all your needs cover. The buffet from breakfast and sometimes dinner covers everyone dietary wants/requirements. The resort itself was on top of the hill overlooking Andaman Sea. But the free shuttle bus going down the village and coming back at the hotel is readily available for free. Theres also a schedule shuttle going to some point of interest at a cheap price, but grab is also readily available if you want to go somewhere in your time. I can go more😊😊😊, just to cut it short EXCEPTIONAL for the price you pay. Read less
