Sri Panwa

Magnificent hotel-resort, my husband and I stay for a week and we just felt in love with this place, every privet suite where you can enjoy your pool and magnificent views of the ocean and PhiPhi Islands Every detail that they set in every room, restaurants and commune areas make you feel like you never want to go.

We booked one weeks vacation at Sri Panwa.....and I must say, this Resort is faultless, everything was perfect.....Seaview Suite, stunning, Furnishings Lavish and Opulent... Mini Bar replenished everyday.... Staff Very Attentive..... Heaven on the Hill.......

This is the best hotel we have ever been. The stuff is literally running to solve everything, the view is fabulous, the villas are without ani doubt... perfect! Really, if you want to just stay inside and be with your other self... this is the place!

Staff is very attentive and friendly in this place and the Penthouse Suite is very spacious, well maintained and greatly serviced by the housekeeping staff. Breakfast can be busy and we tried both options - I personally preferred the Baba pool option but others did prefer the restaurant at the reception building. Breakfast is quite good, only suggestion is to improve the bakery items as they come across as not too fresh. But we had a great stay and will go back again

My husband and I recently stayed here in one of their ocean view west pool suite and were very excited based on previous reviews. This resort was almost double the cost of all the other resorts we liked, but based on the reviews we read, we thought it would be worth the splurge. This review is for the ocean view west pool suite only, we did not meet any guests staying in any other rooms and therefore have no feedback as to their experience. Let me start off by saying the resort was very well maintained and the view from the common areas was beautiful. However, while we didn't get bad service, it was not great either. We arrived at approximately 10 am and the hotel picked us up. They had informed us when we booked that we would have full use of the amenities and check in time the was at 3 pm. We walked around the resort and went to the pool. The resort was practically a ghost town and we had the pool to ourselves. However, they would not let us to our room a minute before 3 pm. I have traveled throughout the US, Europe and Asia and this was the first time the hotel did not let a guest check in even a little early when they could. If you are arriving significantly earlier than check in time, be prepared to wait. Secondly, since we reserved a pool villa that has its own en suite plunge pool we were excited that we would have use of the pool at our own leisure. This was in the middle of August and temperatures were approximately 85F. The plunge pool was so cold at 3 pm, I could not get in the water at all. Maybe it was because we were west facing, but the temperature of the water did not warm up. Also, while we paid for an ocean view, it was barely a peek a boo ocean view. The greenery around the resort was not trimmed to actually see a proper view. So if you're looking for the views based on the resort pictures, you will probably be disappointed if you book the pool suite villas west (again, I have no idea what any of the high end villa views were like). Lastly, when we booked our room we specifically booked the rate that included the airport transfer. The night before we checked out, we received a summary of the charges incurred so far and we were charged for the airport pickup. So we called the front desk to let them know there had been a mistake and our rate had included the transfer. Unfortunately the agent was adamant that we did not book that type of rate and were responsible for the charges. Thankfully we had a copy of the booking email that specifically stated that the airport transfer was included. After forwarding the email to the agent, she did agree (without apology) that we would not to be charged. Was Sri Panwa a horrible experience? By no means. However, I probably wouldn't recommend it either.
