The Mangrove Panwa Phuket Resort

I picked this place for our honeymoon because we purposefully wanted to stay away from the notorious "dirtier" party areas of Phuket with young obnoxious tourists. This place definitely fulfilled that goal. As it was a bit isolated, I wouldn't recommend a long stay here but it was perfect for our purposes. It was difficult to get to from the Phuket […] airport because the taxis there are such con artists and it wasn't in a common area, so I would recommend reserving their airport transfer with a stay here. We were greeted with cool tropical drinks and a small but strong bellhop carried our big suitcases down steep stairs. Our "deluxe pavilion" room was close to the bar/restaurant and pool, and had a small patio. The mosquito net and air conditioning worked well. A couple of small drawbacks: it's not actually on a "beach" but is right on the bay and there are beach chairs in hammocks in the sandy area between the pool and the bay. Also, the breakfast (included in our rate) was not very good except for the bacon which was the best we had in Thailand. Dinner was good and reasonably priced, plus they have a happy hour in the evenings with "buy 1 get 1 free" drinks. This place definitely served its purpose to provide a very romantic dropback for a couple looking to get away. Read more

The hotel is in its opening period its far from the city and the outside activities although during the day the hotel provides transportation but at night its costing much money to move to the night activities, the hotel has still no facilities like Gym or spa but the efforts from the management team to make every thing that please you its really a […] nice p[lace for relaxing and family holidays basicly for people who are interested in peaceful environment which combine green, sea beach, swimming pool, birds singing and good service what i know the management is trying to cover by providing the rest of facilities in short period of time i can rate it now 4 out of 5 but sure soon will be 5 out of 5 Read more

service-good,prompt and helpful (limited english, but ok). Condition of hotel is good, new and fresh looking. when i checked in room was already prepared, air condition on,made up beds,etc where things were supposed to be,except for a little sandy floors.i stayed in beachview with outdoor tub (vulnerable to dirt because of it being outdoor, request […] them to clean first!). biggest issue i believe for some would be the location, Panwa is not exactly Patong or Karon,quite, secluded and far out of reach (not nearby other bigger hotels too, and i would highly encourage renting a car (unless you're staying only in the hotel). breakfast std fare, no dinner tried here. night views are romantic with the walkways and 'au natural' feel. Overall great stay, remember - secluded location (hence car rental would be good choice, value for money, romantic) Read more

A l'écart du tourisme de masse, mais dans un coin plutot agréable, nous y avons passé un très bon séjour. Tout le personnel est très sympathique, et la reception tres dévoué pour répondre aux diverses demandes. Le cadre est tres beaux et tres bien entretenu. A la nuit tombé dess lanternes sont allumées et donne un cote magique a cet endroit. Une piscine […] très bien pour jouer avec des enfants, mais aussi pour nager. La nourriture est correcte, juste un bemol pour notre clim dans la chambre qui ne fonctionné pas au mieux. Read more

The hotel is quite far from the airport and everything else. However you can rent motorbikes at the hotel and a taxi station is right across the street. The hotel also offers some shuttle bus service to the nearest beach and phuket town but we never needed it. You'll have no problems getting around even from this remote location. The rooms where clean, […] tastefully decorated and in an overall good condition as the hotel seemed to be fairly new. There was some construction work in progress on the property (new apartments) which was not intruding at all. I'm just mentioning it because they seem to be expanding the area. The pool is in front of the restaurant which wasn't as expensive as it probably could have been. You also get direct access to the ocean but there's no beach or anything inviting you for a swim (yet). Our overall experience was very nice, the staff was very polite and always helpful. Read more
