Great & Comfy Resort
Phuket Panwa is a great hotel in a quiet and scenic location. A stretch to call it 5-stars, but it would certainly make a great 4-star hotel. The rooms were dated, but very comfortable. When you have sea facing rooms, just know there's high & low tides. When it's high tide, the view is scenic and serene, takes your mind away from reality. The breakfast buffet has a great selection of your usual international and local fares. The small private beach could certainly do with some garbage pick ups, but it could also be a case of hotel guests that don't pick up after themselves. We enjoyed ourselves very much during the 3 nights there and would certainly stay at the resort again as it's only 15-20 mins away from Phuket Old Town by taxi.

The pool access room was pretty nice expect it does not explain on Expedia that it is a two story loft and the food selection is pretty limited. They have the design and makings of a five star resort but fall short. We were overcharged and received an email promising our refund over one month ago and still have not received it. The staff were polite and the area is quiet. It is quite a distance from Phuket town where all the shops, restaurants etc are located. It could have been better and we are still waiting on the refund promised.

Do NOT stay here. Believe all the reviews that tell you this place is FAR from everything, not a real beachfront, moldy and smelly. My friends and I planned to stay for a week and had to check out after 2 days bc it was so bad. The lobby looks great but once you get to the rooms it’s a no go. There were 3 of us and each of us got our own room. We were told we got ‘upgraded’ but that was a lie bc the only good thing about our rooms was the sunrise/sunset view but balcony was rusty. Upon entering our rooms there was a strong moldy smell, in each of our rooms! We figured it would go away but nope! Had to keep the ac at 20C to try and keep the smell at bay. The ac automatically shuts off when you open the balcony doors so we couldn’t even air it out. The smell stayed and it was strong. My friends room was the worse! Mold on the headboard and picture frame above the desk. I had literal cobwebs on top of my headboard. I will say the breakfast buffet was good and the dinner was decent. BUT there was A LOT of flies flying around inside the dinning hall. This is not walkable to anything so be prepared to spend money on taxis to get around. And the ‘beach’ is not a real beach. The grounds were not kept up. Basic things like trash by the pool, beach and balcony. I typically don’t leave negative reviews but I want to spare anyone else from wasting their money here bc you will definitely be checking out early if you do. Nothing about this place is luxury. More like a motel than a hotel.

The only thing I liked was the staff. The hotel was old, far from everything, ugly neighborhood, old, depressing, needs a lot of renovations and painting. Looks mot taken care of. I just left the second night. The beach side is an ugly swamp. I decided to loose the money of three more nights and move to another hotel. It was the best decision ever. J W Marriot Phuket Resort & Spa. 10 stars out of 5 at $165 per night. Early checkout from the Phuket Pawna was the best money I ever lost!!!!!!!!

Great but needs to improve.
Lovely hotel and the current staff are very courteous. But the hotel is understaffed. Felt a bit dead, and no liveliness in the place. It has great potential and scope for improvement. The amenities are old. Needs upgrading. The towels were old, needs to be changed.

I had a great stay at this hotel! The receptionist was always available and very helpful. The view is fantastic, especially with the pool and beach right in front of the hotel. The only small issue was the spa availability – I had an amazing session and wanted more, but couldn’t book additional appointments. It would be great if the pool and spa hours could be extended from 8 AM to 10 PM instead of the current 8 AM to 8 PM. Also I wanted a villa with the beach view if I had been explained the charges of upgrading my room I would have done it.
