Sri Panwa

We booked the pool suite for our honeymoon. After a fun yet exhausting day out in the ocean we were shuttled to the resort. they offered us iced tea and asked us the usual check in questions. then we were buggied to our very private yet modern suite with champagne and rose petals. i was very impressed. from standing glass door showers, free bar food, automatic blinds, music ambiance, to free mosquito repellent! there wasnt even that many bugs which was the biggest surprise of all. We walked around the resort from all kinds of Japanese to american foods. we had the tebinyaki which i think was my favorite. The breakfast buffet is included. very nice selection. By this time i was food out. Thailand just has too many good foods. Can we talk about the scenery of this place? I felt like i was dreaming every day i woke up in this place. Yes there is a private beach side where you can go snorkeling. There is an impressive gym. they have a boxing ring! as a kickboxer, this is unbelievable. Messages and wraps. i cant even... i was massaged into one happy pancake then i was wrapped in milk and yogurt. yes, no joke. i smelled delicious. i could eat myself. The pools were clean and NOT crowded. there was not a million children running around unsupervised. ... except during breakfast. i wasnt into that. parents need to teach their children not to yell and run around in the eating area. actually....some adults need to learn not to yell and run around in the eating area. check out was a little frenzy but they took really good care of us. We ordered a taxi prior to pick us up at check out time and to the airport. It was a little over an hour drive away. I would say this place is a little pricier than Paresa however, as a city girl, i think it was definitely worth it.

Wanted to try the Baba Nest bar for drinks and was told by their reservations that they won't take reservations for outside guests. Wanted to bundle this with a dinner for several guests. Poor attitude. If you are traveling to Phuket, suggest giving Sri Panwa restaurants a miss for poor customer attitude. Take you business somewhere else

A weekend getaway to Sri Panwa - booked a luxury 1 bed room pool villa at the corner of the resort. The villa came with an amazing bedroom with pool, bathroom comes with a huge Jacuzzi tub with direct access to the pool and outdoor shower with the most amazing view. Adjacent to the bedroom there was another room - with day bed, bose sound systems and best of all, all mini bar snacks or drinks comes free. We enjoyed an evening drinks at Babanest and had dinner at one of the thai restaurants. The view at Baba nest is just amazing but do book early. It's always full. We had all our private moments and rejuvenated ourselves. Truly the best resort I have been to. Will definitely make it a yearly affair to come back to Sri Panwa.

We choosed Sri Panwa for two reasons, the ocean view and the private pool. Living in the luxury villa both needs have been fully satisfied. It is so awesome to have the sunrise view every morning when you get up and enjoy the ocean view and sound when you have a late night swim in the private pool. We have to say that the decoration in the villa is very nice, unfortunately not perfect for small toddler who like to explore everything in reach. But it was ok when you have a look on them. Our 2.5 year old enjoyed all the pools, specially the pool club one where we had breakfast. Once she finished hers, she went swimming while we could sit just next to the pool watching her while enjoying the breakfast buffet. Only thing which does not fully met our expectation is the food in the restaurants and the additional activities. Even though there are plenty of choices for baba restaurants, the food did not match to the high prices. Luckily there are dozens of restaurants just at the street outside the hotel. Also a little bit annoying was that there is no child club and no regular gym activities. We booke at Muay Thai private lessons once, for other activities like kids club, dolphin show or island hopping we used other agencies or booked it our self. However, the staff let us enjoy our stay in the Sri Panwa Luxury Pool Villa named Hammerhead (LV08) and we will definetly consider to go there again.

Outstanding building standard and luxury with private endless pool , electric curtains , fancy light atmosphere controls etc. etc. all with breathtaking views in total privacy. Memorable stay , although the breakfast was good , but not up to the 5 Star standard of such a fantastic hotel.
