LUXURY SEA-VIEW PENTHOUSE, CAPE PANWA PHUKET (WITH INFINITY-EDGE POOL)

we have spent 2 weeks in the apartment (family of 4/kids 5 and 7 years) and have enjoued every second of it . the location of the apartment is ideal if you want to get away from the masses and enjoy yourself - the 2 beaches close to it offer all you can ask for and the restaurants close by are offering fantastic thai food .
cape panwa with shops and restaurants is a stone throw away (you would need a car anyway) and if you really need to see many tourists then its also quite quick (30 minutes) to be in karom,kata or patong....
we enjoyed it so much, we are already considering to go back !,,,,,,

Myself & my family choose to stay here for christmas, we didnt want to be anywhere busy so the apartment looked perfect, and it was! I knew we had made the right decision as soon as we drove into cape panwa from airport! The scenery is amazing.
Firstly, the apartment itself was perfect, very luxurious and huge!! Views out to sea from every room, myself and hubby enjoyed sitting on balcony and watching sunrise every morning over the bay, and then on an evening with a cold beer!!
Wifi was great, worked everytime and was very quick.
The lovely caretaker, met us on arrival was at the other end of phone if we needed anything (car hire, advice on local markets).
I would advise hiring a car, just to get to the local restuarants and shops, although that said we didnt for the first 4 days.
When you come out of the apartment if you turn right and head up the hill, there is a restuarant/hotel called cloud 19 which served amazing food, fantastic service and beautiful surroundings, 4 of us eating starter/main and 2 drinks each worked out approx £60, quiet expensive for Thailand but worth every penny.
If you turn left when you come out of the apartment and walk ten mins you will come to a restaurant called The ship (this was my favorite), half the price of cloud 19 and beautiful food!! always a really good atmosphere and right on the sea front too. (a further ten min walk from here there is a local family mart with ATM) and chemist lots more bars and restuarants down this way.
We enjoyed our stay here so much there was nothing I would have changed. The penthouse was by far the best place I have ever stayed in and I have travelled. No noisey neigbours, very little traffic passing pure bliss!!
I would love to return to the penthouse. If you are looking for a relaxing/winding down peaceful/romantic place to stay this is ideal for you!!

We stayed at the apartment for our honeymoon for 5 nights in August 2010. The owner, Nick, provided us with clear instructions on how to drive to the apartment from the airport. It took us about 35 minutes to get from the airport to the apartment, which is based on the south-eastern tip of the island. The suggested car hire people were reliable and good value for money, working out to be approx £25 a day. It is a good idea to ensure you have a car which is the most efficient and convenient way to get around the island.

Upon arriving at the apartment, we were greeted by Mrs Pond, a friendly and hospitable lady, who had opened up the house for us ahead of our arrival and provided us with useful local hints and tips.

There was a lovely flower petal decoration on our bed in the main bedroom and there were also flowers and authentic Thai fresh fruit in the kitchen. Mrs Pond arranged for a maid to visit twice in the week we were there.

The views from this apartment are stunning especially at sunrise and sunset.

The apartment was well equipped; all kitchen utensils were available, TV, Radio and internet facilities as well. The latter of which helped us organise our onward journey from Phuket. There is a large Tesco Lotus about 15 min car journey where you can buy most food.

It is a peaceful location with privacy. However, if you have some time and are staying for more than a week, we would recommend you plan an island visit as the local area can be quickly and easily explored.

There are lot of restaurants around the apartment, both within walking distance of the apartment. We would suggest Cloud 19, which has lovely views and western menu. There is a good massage place nearby called Cape Panwa Resort which also provides bookings for entertainment shows and taxis to the main town.

Overall, a great comfortable stay. We shall definitely be returning in the future!
