We stayed at the Cape Panwa Hotel for three weeks, and we absolutely loved everything about it.
First of all, I'd like to point out the hotel's superb location, it's very peaceful and perfect for a relaxing, quiet getaway. The hotel beach is ideal – a private, well-maintained stretch of shoreline with excellent facilities. At first, we were worried about the low tides during the summer season, but this was not a problem at all, because the hotel took care of it and made a schedule of the low and high tides for each day, and put this schedule in each room, meaning we always knew what time to go swimming.
The entire territory is very green, and the buildings blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The hotel is very cozy, staff is very kind and attentive, and speaks basic English.
We'd especially like to thank Maggie, who speaks perfect English and Russian and was incredibly attentive and caring to us. She made our stay as comfortable as possible and made us feel right at home. She promptly resolved any issues we had, advised us on worthwhile activities, and helped us organize a fantastic fishing trip. Thanks to people like her, we want to return again and again.
The food also left us satisfied, breakfasts were great, especially freshly prepared omelette and variety of Thai delights. The à la carte restaurants are excellent, offering a wide selection of Thai and European dishes. Don't worry about the spiciness; the cuisine is tailored to European tourists.
It's very convenient that the hotel has a regular shuttle that takes guests down to the embankment, where there are numerous cafes where you can have great Thai and European food at very reasonable prices. You can always find street vendors selling fruit and other delicacies. It's worth trying. There are two good stores: Top’s and a 7/11, a currency exchange, a small pharmacy, and massage services.
We also really enjoyed using the hotel's guest app, which makes it incredibly easy to order food, services, and resolve any issues.
All in all, the hotel is a great place for relaxing family or romantic holiday. We are looking forward to coming back and will recommend it to relatives and friends.
