Panwaburi Beachfront Resort

Excellent stay no complaints at all. Great location and the pool view room was big and clean with a fantastic view of the sea from the balcony. Decent buffet breakfast.

Very lovely warm welcoming staff they can’t do enough for you. Pool area was smaller than anticipated from the videos and pictures we’d seen but it was at full capacity and still had sunbeds available and the canoes become available throughout the day.

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.

Bad shower experience due to the unstable irritating water temperature. Also wash basin faucet being shaky too, quality like those for outdoors . The rest were ok.

Amazing hotel. Everything about it was pretty nice but it is VERY far from the city center and nothing much to do. Only place to eat is near the hotel. But the hotel itself is pretty new but I think will need maintaining soon ;)

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.
