Cape Panwa Hotel

The room is quite big for solo travellers like me. I never thought that the ocean view had a super big room. Check-in was smooth. I had to wait around 10 minutes for the room to be ready. Going to the beach needs to take the mini train that the hotel provides. The breakfast venue was superb. Ms LISA was very helpful and full of information about surrounding areas. Their pineapple fried rice was the best I had. Totally recommend staying at this place .

We had a lovely stay at the Cape Panwa Hotel. Great location at the private bay and beautiful beach. Good food but quite pricey. The only thing that really annoyed us were the senior travelers reserving the sun beds so that when we arrived at 8am at the beach the first row was completely blocked and people appeared between 9 and 10am for them.

The most relaxing holiday. Spotless surroundings, lovely staff and beautiful setting. The spa was fabulous. Highly recommend the rejuvenating facial and aroma massage - my therapist’s pressure was perfect; firm, slow and gentle. I felt very cared for.

Cape Panwa Hotel is a true paradise! The staff’s exceptional kindness made our stay unforgettable. The exclusive private beach offers tranquility and breathtaking views, perfect for relaxation and private dining is available. Our room was immaculate, and the entire property was beautifully maintained. A perfect venue for a wedding or private function with incredible staff that go above and beyond (Thank you Aom 🙏). The Cape Spa is a must visit, if staying. A luxurious, peaceful retreat—we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

The location of this hotel is perfect, with a fantastic private beach and lush grounds. The hotel is on many levels perched on a hill and the a little tram that takes you down to the beach is very quaint. We stayed here for a week over the Christmas period in the Cape suite with an interconnecting junior suite for the kids. The room was very spacious and we had a lovely sea view. However, the rooms did look a little tired and definitely could do with some refurbishment. The plumbing especially needs looking at as the water pools in the basins and takes forever to empty. The breakfast is meh, and is a bit repetitive. I would’ve expected a better spread for a 5 star hotel. Having spent a few days in another 5 star hotel, the breakfast is really poor in comparison. The only thing amazing about the breakfast is that it’s served in the Andaman Cafe which has stunning sea views. Tea making facilities in the rooms were a bit stingy, only 2 breakfast teabags and 2 coffee sachets were offered with only 2 creamers, which means you’ll have to drink the others black! Two complimentary bottles of waters offered and you have to pay if you want more. Considering you have to use the water to brush your teeth, the water soon gets used up. We ended up having to buy more water from the local 7-11. On the day we checked out, they did a thorough room check before we could leave; literally went through a check list to make sure we hadn’t made off with anything - I have never quite experienced this before in a hotel! For one of their more premium rooms, they provided cheap paper thin slippers and a pair of flip flops that look like they’ve been worn before by previous patrons?! You also get promptly kicked off the WiFi on check out day. The plus points is that there’s a frequent shuttle van that takes you to their sister hotel located on the Panwa promenade, so you don’t have to walk the ridiculously steep hill. I would definitely recommend going to the restaurants on the other side, the food is cheap and delicious, and always served with a smile. All in all, the shortfalls of the hotel did not spoil our stay, but if you’re looking for exemplary guest experience and service, I would look somewhere else.
