Panwaburi Beachfront Resort Reviews

Our stay at Panwaburi Beachfront Resort was a mixed experience, combining breathtaking views with disappointing hygiene and service. Hygiene & Cleanliness (1/5) The hygiene was simply terrible—cobwebs in the shower, a dirty floor in the bedroom, and even the reception area was visibly unclean. The rooftop pool was in shocking condition, with discarded limes, hair, and general dirt floating in the water. Even basic facilities like the sauna weren’t functioning, and with a small crew of staff, it was difficult to find assistance. Facilities & Amenities (3/5) The hotel technically ticks the boxes for a five-star experience with a gym, sauna, and pools, but in reality, the maintenance is severely lacking. The main Instagram-famous pool with canoes is the star attraction, drawing in many visitors just for photography. If you're keen on getting good shots, it's best to go early in the morning before the crowds. Service & Convenience (2/5) We arrived around 10 PM, feeling a bit hungry, but the room service didn’t work. Thankfully, Grab was a lifesaver, but at this price point, you’d expect functional service. Scenery & Atmosphere (4/5) The views are stunning, and for social media enthusiasts, the aesthetic appeal of the pool area makes for fantastic photography. However, beyond the visuals, the experience falls short. Overall Rating: 2/5 – Style Over Substance If you're looking for a picturesque Instagram backdrop, Panwaburi Beachfront Resort might work for you. However, if you prioritize hygiene, service, and functionality, this hotel is best avoided.

A good experience. The hotel is very nice especially the swimming pools The hotel is clean. It has a small but nice beach just opposite which is really convenient. Service is top notch. We had a very nice floating breakfast. It is far away from other places even Phuket's old town. The water pressure in the washroom bidet was not controllable and was very high. Shower pressure was slow and was changing by itself. If you do not care about the location, a lovely place to stay.

It was really nice. I love the hotel so much. Unfortunately we have been there only for one knight, you have to stay there at least 3-5 knights to enjoy everything

Clean and spacious room, the pool is really beautiful and we can do kayaking. The hotel is not really near the city center.

I would like to see the pool cleaned better. The view is really nice. The food is cheap.

It was super nice hotel. The room was super clean and the service was so good. The service guy can speak little bit of Japanese. The rooftop bar was good and the main pool area was just like I saw on Tiktok. Private pool inside the hotel was small yet it was facing the ocean so it was nice when the sunset. Only few minutes walk from nice beach and local markets in 10mins walk were super cheap. But I wouldn’t recommend the hotel restaurant food it was super mid.

Fantastic hotel and great facilities. Hotel team was well planned, professional and polite. Clean and highly recommended.

Comfort and cozy hotel. Pool and boat very convenience and hotel is facing the beach. Worth to stay!

For its price range, the hotel offered excellent value. The nearby Ay Yon Beach, one of the most relaxing beaches in Phuket, was uncrowded and peaceful, making it an ideal spot to unwind. The Kao Khad Viewpoint, located just 2 km away, provided stunning sunset views. The hotel itself was clean, beautifully designed for Instagram-worthy photos, and staffed by friendly and accommodating personnel.

Amazing pool, although is a lot smaller than it looks on the pictures. Quiet location in Cape Panwa. Suite room is excellent with all the amenities. Restaurant and bar is small

Room was very clean, staff was so friendly, instagram hotel ❤️

Honestly this was super cute for the IG photos but that’s about it! If you like luxury hotels this is not that type of hotel. Amazing for budget traveling. Definitely love the aesthetic of the pool but that’s about it. They were super nice, I’m just used to 5 star hotels.

We want to do kayak but there is no arrangement. We didnt do it. And so many people would get on the kayak and never get off. not for the experience but just for the photo Everywhere is so far rooftop pool is so crowded also every pool is so small not high

Overall is worth for money..not too crowded but no halal food serve as all meals have pork
