My wife and I recently spent 10 nights at the Bandara Phuket Beach Resort to celebrate our anniversary, and our experience was wonderful. Upon arrival, we were touched by a thoughtful gesture left in our room by the hotel staff, setting a warm tone for our stay.
While some reviews criticize the hotel's location, we found it ideal. This was our third visit to Thailand, and we love this area for its tranquility, far from the hustle and bustle of Patong. The resort is a 20-25 minute drive from attractions like Old Phuket Town and the Naka Night Market. It boasts direct access to Ao Yon Beach and is just a five-minute walk from the picturesque and lesser-known Khao Khad Beach. The neighborhood is well-serviced with excellent restaurants, bars, massage parlors, and taxi services. Additionally, there's a 7-Eleven conveniently located less than five minutes away on foot.
The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and eager to assist. One memorable instance was when I needed to scan and print some work documents; despite being busy with other guests' check-ins and check-outs, the reception staff were extremely helpful. A special mention goes to Sa from Housekeeping, who went above and beyond to ensure our room was immaculate and surprised us with delightful little gifts (photo attached).
Our room featured a partial sea view, which was fine since we didn't plan to spend much time indoors. The room itself was spacious, clean, and equipped with an excellent air conditioner. The pool area was well-maintained and offered stunning views, and the Flamingo Beach Bar was a pleasant spot to relax.
The check-in and check-out processes were smooth, even at 4 AM when we departed, thanks to the accommodating and friendly staff.
Overall, given our love for this serene and beautiful area, we will definitely return to Bandara Phuket Beach Resort.
Located in Panwa Beach, a 4-minute walk from Ao Yon Beach, V Villas Phuket, MGallery provides accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness center and a garden.

Very disapointing I came with high expectations and they were not fullfiled:
1. The staff at the front desk were not friendly at all. I arrived after a long flight to Thiland and hardly a smile from any of the receptionists.
I was looking for some attractions to do and was looking through their book for about half an hour trying to decide what to choose. No one aproached or tried to help or offer advice. That happened twice.
2. It was my birthday, and a family member from
US waned to order a surprise cake for me. He called me up to ask if I got it, I had no idea what he was talking about, aperantly they just left it in the room fridge without notifying me at all + did no add the note he asked to print for me.
3. When I arrived I asked where can I change money. The receptionist said "turn right and walk 10 minutes" , the problem is after you start going right, there are 2options of turns and no one to ask as there is litrelly nothing around. They could be a bit more specific..
4. I had some ants in the room+ 2 baby spiders. I understand this is a tropical island and yet this is a 5 star resort.
5. There is no gegi milk option in the restaurant
for coffee. Only cow milk. I woul think in 2023 there ould be at least one other option for vegans.
6. There is more but I made my point..

My wife and I rate this beach experience as excellent for swimming (but not for surfing!), and although best not to swim at lower tides due to the exposed reef, medium and hight tides are excellent. It's safe , protected from the surf, and clean for kids and beginner swimmers. Best things are the great service provided by the KANTARY hotel (by a covered vehicle), departing every 15 minutes, and the free towels (for Kantary guests) and affordable restaurant at the Panwa Beach, located just over the hill.

Panwa Beach is very peaceful, away from the crowds, but not dead. There are people walking along the beach and a handful of bar/restaurants along the shore, but it isn't too loud or crazy at night. A nice peaceful getaway. As for the swimming, maybe not the best as the ground under the water along the beach seemed to have a lot of large rocks and other items in it. I wouldn't exactly recommend it for swimming. But for relaxing, boating, getting a few drinks, it's great. My recommendation would be to stay at a resort/hotel along Panwa and renting a car so that you can drive to other beaches for swimming, such as Ya Nui beach.

There was a small beach close to our apartment which was located next to Panwa Cape Viewpoint. This beach is very private, small but beautiful. Another bigger beach which is called Panwa Beach is close to the hotel Cape Panwa Hotel. There is regular free shuttle bus from Kantari Hotel to Cape Panwa Hotel, which is provides daily every 20 minutes.

Staff were very friendly , my room on the first njgt had a massive leak in the ceiling - so had a night of dripping sounds onto the floor. I requested a new room the next morning and was moved to a similar room ( with a less good view but no complaints there it was dry so that’s what counts).
Generally found the resort in need of a big update - looks and feels very dated.

Ao yon beach is small, peacefull, quite area.
Ao yon beach is small, peacefull, quite area. Sea experience 9/10 but dont forget to take sea shoe there is little amount of rock in the sea... beautifull beach and view... rent a longtail boat from the Village people for the islands around..
everything was nice and the staff very helpful in accommodating my requests and even organised my bike rental for me. i like the area its quieter then the buzzing party spots of phuket so ideal to relax and be a little away from the crowds and booze. the room was large and the shower room was fantastic and spacious. there's a lovely restaurant next door but if you walk a few minutes you'll get to some street food options as well. the beach was beautiful and literally 30 seconds from your room doorstep. i will come back for sure.
First of all the location is WOW. From the staff to the owner are AMAZING and very friendly. The rooms and the services as well as the breakfast which was our favorite, is 5⭐️ service without a doubt. It was our anniversary and the hotel owner prepared a surprise for my wife, it was something more than I expected. And they were so kind to invite us for dinner at their Restaurent Soul 1 which is a must visit. I can’t wait to go back again next year, I recommend anyone who is looking for serenity, this is THE place.
A hotel of superlatives not least because like a miracle this part of Phuket is undeveloped. The room was charming and spotless. I was expecting geckos and insects but there weren't any. Lovely staff, delicious freshly cooked breakfast and beautiful garden. I saw monkeys and monitor lizards. This is the perfect place to relax. The restaurant is mainly frequented by Thai families and looks out over the beach and lagoon. It is 5* without the price tag. Highly recommended.
all the staff were very friendly and helpful, room was large and cleaned daily also towels and sheets were changed daily; Breakfast was delicious with a great choice. The rooftop pool was great with amazing views and never crowded. Gardens are well looked after and the shuttle to Kantary Bay hotel was every 15 mins. We stayed for 3 weeks and wish we had booked longer, a credit to every member of staff.
The calmness of the place and relaxation we got was wonderful and the amazing staff members are very friendly and joyful and so helpful with everything we needed as they suggested and prepared our trips with excellent services . Overall the hotel is a must for every couple or family members to relax and enjoy the wonderful vacation in phuket .
Staff here were wonderful and went above and above to make our stay as comfortable as possible.
Facial was expensive but worth it- for massages, we'd recommend you go to Phuket town outside as it was quite expensive for what it was. Breakfast buffet was brilliant and included in the price. Overall, it was a lovely place to stay.
Amazing private beach, unfortunately many jellyfish and no lifeguards tho. Nice to have a kayak free hire for 1 hour that we used once. The sports facilities were great, we played badminton and darts. Comfortable large bed. Location meant you get a great vista view of sea from all angles of the hotel.
This hotel is a nice place to be. The villas (even though not 120 sqm as presented on several vacation websites) are comfortable. And the private pool, the whirlpool, the private beach area, and the view are a huge plus. My girlfriend and I really appreciated all of it – a lot.
I was grateful that the hotel could provide gluten free bread and the omelettes were wonderful .
The reception staff are friendly, efficient and remember small details . The room upgrade was much appreciated, but the studio suites are lovely too .
Staffs are so friendly and professional. Hotel is on the quiet side of Phuket that good for holiday with family. Restaurants and convenient store are close easy to walk. Pool and beach at the front of the hotel as per photos.
peaceful. very local feel. relaxing place. recommend it. it’s more calm seas b west Phuket so a good contrast. nice food at Cove and up the hill lots to see around area if you walk. reef walking around to other beach is fun
For the price the hotel is great, staff is friendly, very helpful staff.
The beach is okay, its clean, location is close to a 7/11 and an Exchange. There is another beach behind the 7/11 which was very nice.
It's an oasis away from the crowds. About 20 minutes from Old Phuket which is a great spot for dinner, drinks and shopping. The facility was amazing, infinity pools were awesome.
Great location & views for a quieter area of Phuket. The bathtub and jacuzzi pool were a real treat. The stairs walk out onto the beach and a great price
