My wife and I recently spent 10 nights at the Bandara Phuket Beach Resort to celebrate our anniversary, and our experience was wonderful. Upon arrival, we were touched by a thoughtful gesture left in our room by the hotel staff, setting a warm tone for our stay.
While some reviews criticize the hotel's location, we found it ideal. This was our third visit to Thailand, and we love this area for its tranquility, far from the hustle and bustle of Patong. The resort is a 20-25 minute drive from attractions like Old Phuket Town and the Naka Night Market. It boasts direct access to Ao Yon Beach and is just a five-minute walk from the picturesque and lesser-known Khao Khad Beach. The neighborhood is well-serviced with excellent restaurants, bars, massage parlors, and taxi services. Additionally, there's a 7-Eleven conveniently located less than five minutes away on foot.
The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and eager to assist. One memorable instance was when I needed to scan and print some work documents; despite being busy with other guests' check-ins and check-outs, the reception staff were extremely helpful. A special mention goes to Sa from Housekeeping, who went above and beyond to ensure our room was immaculate and surprised us with delightful little gifts (photo attached).
Our room featured a partial sea view, which was fine since we didn't plan to spend much time indoors. The room itself was spacious, clean, and equipped with an excellent air conditioner. The pool area was well-maintained and offered stunning views, and the Flamingo Beach Bar was a pleasant spot to relax.
The check-in and check-out processes were smooth, even at 4 AM when we departed, thanks to the accommodating and friendly staff.
Overall, given our love for this serene and beautiful area, we will definitely return to Bandara Phuket Beach Resort.
Located in Panwa Beach, a 4-minute walk from Ao Yon Beach, V Villas Phuket, MGallery provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness center and a garden.

The calmness of the place and relaxation we got was wonderful and the amazing staff members are very friendly and joyful and so helpful with everything we needed as they suggested and prepared our trips with excellent services .

Very disapointing I came with high expectations and they were not fullfiled:
1. The staff at the front desk were not friendly at all. I arrived after a long flight to Thiland and hardly a smile from any of the receptionists.
I was looking for some attractions to do and was looking through their book for about half an hour trying to decide what to choose. No one aproached or tried to help or offer advice. That happened twice.
2. It was my birthday, and a family member from
US waned to order a surprise cake for me. He called me up to ask if I got it, I had no idea what he was talking about, aperantly they just left it in the room fridge without notifying me at all + did no add the note he asked to print for me.
3. When I arrived I asked where can I change money. The receptionist said "turn right and walk 10 minutes" , the problem is after you start going right, there are 2options of turns and no one to ask as there is litrelly nothing around. They could be a bit more specific..
4. I had some ants in the room+ 2 baby spiders. I understand this is a tropical island and yet this is a 5 star resort.
5. There is no gegi milk option in the restaurant
for coffee. Only cow milk. I woul think in 2023 there ould be at least one other option for vegans.
6. There is more but I made my point..

My wife and I rate this beach experience as excellent for swimming (but not for surfing!), and although best not to swim at lower tides due to the exposed reef, medium and hight tides are excellent. It's safe , protected from the surf, and clean for kids and beginner swimmers. Best things are the great service provided by the KANTARY hotel (by a covered vehicle), departing every 15 minutes, and the free towels (for Kantary guests) and affordable restaurant at the Panwa Beach, located just over the hill.

Panwa Beach is very peaceful, away from the crowds, but not dead. There are people walking along the beach and a handful of bar/restaurants along the shore, but it isn't too loud or crazy at night. A nice peaceful getaway. As for the swimming, maybe not the best as the ground under the water along the beach seemed to have a lot of large rocks and other items in it. I wouldn't exactly recommend it for swimming. But for relaxing, boating, getting a few drinks, it's great. My recommendation would be to stay at a resort/hotel along Panwa and renting a car so that you can drive to other beaches for swimming, such as Ya Nui beach.

There was a small beach close to our apartment which was located next to Panwa Cape Viewpoint. This beach is very private, small but beautiful. Another bigger beach which is called Panwa Beach is close to the hotel Cape Panwa Hotel. There is regular free shuttle bus from Kantari Hotel to Cape Panwa Hotel, which is provides daily every 20 minutes.

Staff were very friendly , my room on the first njgt had a massive leak in the ceiling - so had a night of dripping sounds onto the floor. I requested a new room the next morning and was moved to a similar room ( with a less good view but no complaints there it was dry so that’s what counts).
Generally found the resort in need of a big update - looks and feels very dated.

This is a truly beautiful property
The rooms add great
Common areas awesome
An amazing very long infinity pool with view over the ocean
Great staff and service
Very nice breakfast
The gym is very good by hotel standards
We did not use the spa but it looked nice
The resort is great if you are looking for a quiet vacation
There is a small fishing town 10 mins away with lots of charm and restaurants and massage
It is some distance to Phuket Town Patong and other places
If you want to party, this is not the place to come
The team at X10 Suites Panwa are so friendly, and full of smiles. Shout out to Jira and Jason the driver for being so helpful. The views are just perfect from your room; beachfront and the pool is awesome. There is a laundry service or you can do it yourself. The rooms are clean and lots of food deliveries via the Grab App can be made to the hotel as there is no restaurant on site.
This is the only property that is well maintained and well kept, look for no other - this is the place to be when you’re in Panwa Beach.
The pool was beautiful, the beach could have used more maintenance in front of the property, we found broken glass and garbage, which I think the hotel staff could’ve taken care of relatively easily. The breakfast was wonderful, and the staff were great! We also would’ve liked a small table in our room to dine at, there was room for it, and the light fixture was there for it, which we kept bumping our heads into, but the table wasn’t there.
This hotel is stunning! The pool set up is beautiful, the rooms are very big and the beds are so comfortable.
The mini fridges in the room are stocked with 2 complimentary fizzy drinks and water daily and 2 packets of peanuts.
The food and drink is also very affordable in the restaurant compared to other parts of Phuket and considering how nice the hotel is so this is great!
The staff were all so lovely also.
Superb location. Quiet. Great outlook. The staff are simply brilliant. The lady who could speak Chinese was possibly the most helpful person in a hotel I have ever met. However the full staff could not be any more helpful. The Whattsapp connection was incredibly supportive and helpful. We booked all our taxis and trips thorugh the reception team. Thank you so much!
Great location.Excellent room and facilities.Food here is delicious with a varied menu for all tastes. Rachel and all the staff at The Cove were so friendly and efficient.We really enjoyed our brief 3 night stay here and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for that special place to relax and enjoy the tranquility it has to offer.
Absolutely gorgeous hotel with very clean, modern and spacious rooms. Located in a more quiet area of Phuket. Perfect for couples. Breakfast was great and the My Cafe menu was nice as well. Would definitely be back. Comparing Panwa beach to Kata or Patong beach - it wasn’t as nice, but the pool area is absolutely fabulous.
This hotel is a nice place to be. The villas (even though not 120 sqm as presented on several vacation websites) are comfortable. And the private pool, the whirlpool, the private beach area, and the view are a huge plus. My girlfriend and I really appreciated all of it – a lot.
The hotel room with pool access was really amazing. The hotel facilities were very convenient and easy to access. The hotel staff were very friendly and tried to be as quick as they could with any requests. There are local shops nearby which is great.
the staff was phenomenal with services even at the late hours after midnight. the view was amazing and we had a ocean view room for our honeymoon. overall a great experience and recommended to all the couples planning their honeymoon in Phuket.
A perfect hotel near the beach, with incredible sea view just outside the balcony. Good place to enjoy the sunset. Facilities and room are new and clean. Staff are very friendly. Really enjoyed our stay!
Nice hotel on the clean beach away from crowds. Nice and spacious rooms. Hotel has a rooftop bar and pool with a fantastic view of the bay. There are also lots of nice thai restaurants nearby.
It's an oasis away from the crowds. About 20 minutes from Old Phuket which is a great spot for dinner, drinks and shopping. The facility was amazing, infinity pools were awesome.
Rooms are big and small kitchen makes it comfortable for long stay
Area is quiet
Nice restaurants walking distance
