Lost your Way?
A common mistake that a lot of our visitors tell us is made is that they are taken to the wrong Cape Panwa Hotel – well there is only one Cape Panwa Hotel – but the drivers still make mistakes.
There are 2 hotels close to us, one is called the Sri Panwa Hotel and the other is the Bel-Air Panwa and there are more hotels being built.
How can you make sure that you get to the right place? Well you can always take a piece of paper with the words "Cape Panwa" written in Thai OR simply tell the driver that Cape Panwa is the Original – a word that Thai market sellers in Patong understand.
Cape Panwa was built in 1987 in a much sought after place in Phuket. There is a beautiful beach that is closed off on one side by a jetty and on the other by rocks - private, peaceful and perfect.
Then there is a magnificent Sino-Portuguese building called Panwa House on the edge of the sand – perfect for evening dining and traditional Thai food – an original structure and in a perfect setting.
If you need to come here just ask for the Original Hotel at Cape Panwa – this is us.
