Panwaburi Beachfront Resort : พันวาบุรี บีชฟร้อนท์ รีสอร์ท

"I fell in love with this hotel for its beautiful views and fancy pool with transparent boats, when I saw a video on TikTok and I thought to myself this is a “must visit”. (Please check out the link I attached to see the video.) Below is a review from someone who has stayed by the hotel: Matt E - East Riding of Yorkshire, UK “Stunning Hotel! Absolute paradise! Looks exactly as it does in the pictures and was very reasonable priced for the quality! Staff are friendly and helpful, the food is a good price and great quality. The room was great, comfy bed and pillows! A couple of things to note: 1) If you're planning on using the hotel as a base to explore the other areas of Phuket, it's a bit a far out. We did 2 trips during our 3 night stay and found we had to pay extra as the tour companies wouldn't include the pickup due to the hotels location. We did take a trip into Phuket town by taxi, it was 386 BHT each way through the Bolt App, around £10 at the time of the trip. Definitely haggle or use the Bolt app as you'll find taxi's outside the hotel asking for 1200 BHT! 2) There's not much around the hotel, shop/ restaurant or bar wise like there is in Kata/Karong/ Patong, so you're pretty much stuck with the hotel offering, which is still cheap! There is a couple of small beach bars around the corner which are within walking distance around a small cove. 3) The hotel does not have its own bar, you can still order drinks to the poolside or your room until 10pm, so not a massive issue, but odd given the size of the hotel. If you're planning on booking and not leaving the resort, it really is perfect. If you're planning on travelling around to see other areas, it can add to the cost and you might be better staying Patong or Phuket Town. We knew about the above before staying, but it might disappoint if you're not aware before you go! Tip: Use the Bolt app for transport! The taxi's outside the hotel charge a LOT more than it is through the app!”"

"Popular due to TikTok and the clear-bottom kayaking you can do on property. I wanted to stay at this hotel during my time but it was all booked out, so if you want to stay here be sure to book far in advance! This is a very affordable, 5 star hotel. Recent review: "Gorgeous hotel. It is very peaceful. We stayed in a swim up pool room which I would recommend. The room felt private even though you were in the main pool. Breakfast was decent, lots of choices. There was no pool bar but you can order room service and the staff bring the drinks to you in the pool if you ask. Location was difficult because of the large hills so difficult to walk but there is taxis outside. Also there is a nice bar and restaurant on the beach which is not part of the hotel but only 2 minutes walk away.""
