Was in Sara Panwa in October 2009. Liked the hotel. Green well-groomed area, beautiful beach (there is a reef, but it's not the Red Sea - don't be disappointed), almost all rooms have a sea view. In two buildings of the hotel, the ball was being reconstructed, so the sounds of the perforator interfered a little; They say monkeys come to the beach every morning, but I saw only once and then only one.

A very secluded and quiet place, which attracts mostly older people, but this is for the best - everything was quiet and peaceful (there were no drunken Russian aunts). A tuk-tuk goes from the hotel every 10 minutes to Campari Bay (this is a pure pass over the hill behind which the hotel is located) - very convenient and free. You can buy fruits there, and you can eat on the mountain, for example, at James. And there are also scheduled minibuses to Patong, etc.
They rented a motor scooter, near the hotel, fell on the first day, paid the owner money for a scratched wing. Hospitals, by the way, in Thailand are very good (if you have insurance).
From the pier, which is in the hotel, every day a boat rides to the caral islands. They were not there, but they were on Ppi. The tour was ordered from the locals, they come to the hotel and offer to choose the one they like from a dozen offers. Everything was at a good level, as for Europeans, and not for foreigners.

We stayed at the hotel 2 years ago. The hotel is beautiful, well maintained, green area. The main building is located on a hill, descending to the beach along the steps, also for the convenience of tourists there is another option: on a small train on rails at certain hours. There are also separate villas with a private pool.

We stayed at the hotel 2 years ago. The hotel is beautiful, well maintained, green area. The main building is located on a hill, descending to the beach along the steps, also for the convenience of tourists there is another option: on a small train on rails at certain hours. There are also separate villas with a private pool. We booked three rooms, but there were no suitable ones for us at that moment, so we were offered a large villa on the coast, which cost more than our three rooms combined. The villa is luxurious, antique ebony furniture (I don’t know what it’s called), three rooms and a common hall and kitchen, a large swimming pool. The breakfasts are good, pastries, fresh juices, fruits and much more. The staff is smiling, English speaking.
By the way, in addition to restaurants, there is a chic Chicago-style bar with live music, which we went to on the last day, because. they didn't know about its existence before. We weren't allowed in shorts))). On certain days, courses of batik, Thai cuisine, etc. were held. for a fee.
The only negative for us (for someone it will certainly be only a plus), the location is far from Patong, taxi drivers wring prices. Although there are restaurants, studios, and shops nearby.
Regarding the beach: you can swim at certain hours in the morning and in the evening, the ebb interferes, the shore is exposed, it smells of silt.
In general, the impressions were positive.

Excellent hotel. Lovely beach. The service staff would be kissed. You can talk about breakfast alone for a whole day. Live music every evening. And about their administrator, you can only write a million thanks. Weird person.

The sea and palm trees are what made me want to visit Thailand so much. The hotel on Cape Panwa pleased me with its palm-fringed beach. The hotel is located far from the "party" places, so you could have a great and calm day on the beach, and in the evening go by taxi or minibus for adventure to Patong or Kata beach.

The hotel is quiet, nice, good service. The restaurant on the beach of the hotel prepares delicious Thai noodles with shrimp - the perfect lunch : )
What I would like to advise everyone who goes to Phuket: tune in to the fact that the tides are very noticeable. Yes, you can swim in the sea only 3-4, maximum 5 hours a day (this was the case on the hotel beach), then the sea becomes shallow before our eyes and leaves corals exposed. On the first day I was terribly upset, but then I realized that this has its own charm. You can just walk on the sand and look at the fish between the corals.
P. S. Do not forget to take mosquito repellent with you, there are a lot of them, but these are also trifles.
I had a great rest.
And I wish you a wonderful holiday and bright impressions : )

I love Thailand, we rested there in Pattaya and Phuket. The hotel is good, although not new, a beautiful beach, with palm trees, there are monkeys, very funny. When they played badminton, they came to watch and the hotel employees fed them bananas, papaya (By the way, they didn’t eat papaya, only bananas, they snickered, in general).

When they played badminton, they came to watch and the hotel employees fed them bananas, papaya (By the way, they didn’t eat papaya, only bananas, they snickered, in general). There is a monorail to the beach as the hotel is on a hill. There are few Russians, mostly Europeans. There are hotel excursions to neighboring islands (they are taken on a pretty decent boat), you can spend the whole day on the islands, there is a cafe where you can have lunch. We went there when there were low tides in the daytime (this was already written in previous reviews), I personally did not bother. There is a schedule in the room, and you can plan the time when to be on the beach and when to go on excursions, it is very convenient. Of course, it’s a bit far to go to Patong and the Central Festival shopping center, but you get peace and tranquility in return, and when you want to party, you take a taxi and go. The food is normal for this category of hotel (In Thailand, there is no stardom, or rather, it is conditional for us). We were, for example, later at the Hilton Phuket Arcadia, where, of course, breakfasts are much more varied, but the hotel is also more expensive. So if you don't pick too hard, everything is OK. By the way, I recommend visiting the zoo, in Phuket it is small, but good (take a taxi, you can get there without a travel agency).

As a honeymoon trip, a trip to "Thailand" was chosen, as our Thai guide called his country, diligently distorting Russian words. We flew with "Turtess", we took vouchers through the "Hot Line", where we were treated very sincerely and caringly. In general, the atmosphere there is very homely, we were surprised.

As a honeymoon trip, a trip to "Thailand" was chosen, as our Thai guide called his country, diligently distorting Russian words. We flew with "Turtess", we took vouchers through the "Hot Line", where we were treated very sincerely and caringly. In general, the atmosphere there is very homely, we were surprised. Thank you very much!
There were no problems with the flight, meeting and settling. We immediately exchanged part of the money at the airport, but as it turned out, at the hotel, as in the city center, the exchange rate is almost the same, so it’s not worth changing all the money right away.
What is really worth it is to take more cash if you are counting on a good comfortable vacation with visiting excursions and buying souvenirs for relatives and friends. For reference - an average dinner for two in a good restaurant without alcohol - $ 50, excursions with your operator - about $ 100 per person, massage in a good spa-salon - from $ 50. All the same procedures, meals and excursions can be found cheaper at local merchants if you want to save on quality.
I want to write a lot of good things about the hotel. Very quiet, cozy and peaceful corner of Phuket. The hotel is located on a hill, the view from the rooms is amazing, not counting the first floors, where the view of the sea is covered by bushes of vegetation. By the way, the local vegetation in the caring hands of the Thais is a real work of art - neat bushes, flowers everywhere, they are regularly left in the room in the morning, trimmed lawns... The beach in a palm grove, its own, a "tram" descends to it, but the descent is purely symbolic, we enjoyed walking. Only breakfasts were included in our tour, the usual buffet with fresh juices and local fruits, quite decent. We dined at a local restaurant, dined at neighboring hotels or went to the city.
To travel to the city, special bus routes are provided directly from the hotel. The schedule is convenient and the price is quite reasonable. In general, it is very cozy, friendly (a smile is a hallmark of Thais), comfortable and pleasant. My husband and I rated it 4 plus.
Resting on tropical islands, it should be borne in mind that the ebbs and flows are pronounced here. The schedule for each day is in the room, respectively, you can plan water procedures yourself. I don’t advise swimming at low tide - the sea goes 10 meters away, and another 50 meters the water reaches the knee, while most of the bottom is coral, and swimming in the sea is very uncomfortable. But at high tide it is such a pleasure! The water is very warm and clear, the temperature is +28. At the same time, the air temperature in mid-October is +32 in the shade, and for a person unaccustomed to local humidity it is very stuffy, and the night does not bring coolness : ) We saved ourselves by air conditioning in the room and swimming in the pool, of which there are two on the hotel territory.
Traditionally, in Thailand, the rainy season ends at this time, which we were a little worried about, having read about tropical downpours, but we were lucky with the weather - every day it was sunny, it rained over the mainland, clouds gathered over our islands every day in the evening and several times warm rain drizzled at night.
About excursions worth visiting in Phuket - sightseeing, with a visit to the main attractions of the island, temples, a pearl and nut factory (a sightseeing tour is included in the price of the tour), islands (Pee Pee, James Bond), snorkel, feed the monkeys on the island and see the most transparent and clean water; elephant safaris and their shows; zoo and crocodile show; Patong beach - a lot of entertainment, erotic shows in the evening; shopping center "Festival" - buy Thai souvenirs and eat cheaply in a network of local restaurants; fruit market - must try everything!
We didn't want to leave, but our trip was coming to an end. Have a nice holiday to everyone who chooses this wonderful country!

Firstly, if you want a party from morning to night, then you go to where the dirty ocean is, a constant crowd of crazy drunk tourists, i. e. closer to Patong! As for the hotel, it's a fairy tale! ! Its own white sand beach, monkeys came to the territory, since the territory is located right in the jungle.

Its own white sand beach, monkeys came to the territory, since the territory is located right in the jungle. silence and a fairy tale, If you still want to have fun, everything is in your hands, from the hotel-bus to Patong. There, hang out with trances and go to a depraved show. And you can eat seafood. True, in the end, as practice has shown, it is cheaper near the hotel, since it is off to the side. every day cleaning, fresh flowers, everything is just super!! !
