Property Reviews

We had a wonderful time in Phuket and your apartment is very nice. The weather was OK while we stayed in Cape Panwa only the week before we had some rain.

I have the following comments for you:

Apartment:
The apartment is very nice and spacious. For the two of us much more space than we actually needed. The view is spectacular. It is very quiet and the Ao Yon area is beautiful. We did not use the kitchen much, we only prepared some breakfast.

Area:
There is a small beach club that is run by the Bel Air Hotel Cape Panwa
http://www.belairhotelsresorts.com/panwa-beachclub.html This beach club is ideal because you can walk from the apartment. You rent a beach chair for Baht 100.- for the day. They offer food and drinks and also a barbecue and live music twice a week. There are not many guests and the guys are very friendly. I think you should mention this to your future guests. There is also a new Hotel/Restaurant around the corner (Cloud 19) where you can eat and/or have a sun downer in a very nice setting. The owner is a member of the royal family and he is very friendly and happy to receive customers for dinner. http://www.cloud19phuket.com/

Other:
We followed your recommendation regarding rental cars and the service was very good. We had a brand new car that was delivered to us when we arrived from our boat trip. The description on how to get to the apartment should be redone. We found it much easier to go the way it is described in the Clod 19 website http://www.cloud19phuket.com/how.php

We have visited Patong and Karon/Kata and were happy to be back at Cape Panwa after these trips!

I hope you will find our comments helpful. There is not much that can be improved!

Thanks for checking back with us and we hope that many people are able to enjoy their stay in Oyster Cove.

My husband and I decided to escape the dreadful winter this year and rented this fabulous apartment for 3 weeks. We were so glad we did - it is hard to believe it's the same planet when you can sit up in bed with a coffee and your sunglasses on in the morning looking out the gorgeous blue sea and sky. The apartment is immaculately clean, and extremely comfortable. I would also like to compliment Nick the owner who gave us lots of valuable information before we arrived as well as checking that it was all going ok while we were there. Mrs Pond (also excellent) was also on hand although we didn't feel the need to call on her too much.

If like us you would like to skip Blackpool in the sun (Patong), yet be surrounded by 5 star facilities yet not too far from real life Phuket - then is for you. We generally had the whole development to ourselves so added to the peace and relaxation required. A car is pretty essential for this quiet corner of paradise although there are excellent little eateries on the beach down the road - so you won't feel too isolated. Well we did finally pull ourselves away from paradise but am already longing for that view again. We do intend returning one day and have already recommended Cove Penthouse friends here in Scotland. Can't wait....................

The Cove Penthouse is truly a wonderful experience. Although you are not in a hotel environment you can still get everything you need at a moments notice. The care taker of the property, Ms. Pond, can get you anything whether it may be a a run to the supermarket, arranging a tour or a car. She can even pick up your favorite bottle of wine. The area is quaint, very safe and the views are breath taking. I will definitely opt to stay here on my next Phuket vacation.

You have seen the photos of the deserted white beaches, palm trees listing over a turquoise sea and possibly the odd local fisherman’s boat bobbing in the sunshine well this is where the photo was taken. To see this in reality is breathtaking and to experience it is surreal. You simply cannot believe you have all this literally at your finger tips.

A walk of less than 5 minutes from the apartment past native houses a sight to see in themselves, leads you to your very own beach.

Indigenous jungle surrounds the apartment a spectacular place in anyone’s book, 2 huge bedrooms with the main bedroom taking the prize as the most spacious well designed bedroom award. You lie in the enormous bed looking through the sliding doors over the balcony past the pool (the pool has been built to give the impression that there is a side missing, the water seems to be held by magic) and on to the Palm trees, beach and the sea with tropical Green Islands doted about in the distance.

Then the upstairs!!! I cannot really give you in words what the design of the living area does to your senses other than Wowwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! Open plan with windows all around giving you views that I can guarantee will take your breathe away. I got up at 5.30 to watch the sun rise, it was awesome, a sight that I will never forget (I have actually got this wondrous sight as wall paper on the computer)

The food is as fresh as it gets and you can eat like a Lord Lobster Prawns Fish Wine Beer all in huge quantaties at less than £10.00 ahead.

My wife and I stayed here for the first time and we were thrilled with the WOW factor of the luxury spotless apartment, accurately described, with stunning views, cableTV / internet too - if you can't keep away.... We were met and made very welcome by 'Pond' the friendly local lady and her husband Jo-Jo.

The local beach is lovely and unspoilt, minutes walk away with a local yacht club in season (though a steep walk back - but good exercise). To get to the local restaurants and bars (good variety) we'd recommend a hire car, ~800-900 Baht per day and go explore!

The Sunset Bar (Cape Panwa) was hosted by a very friendly barman called Russell, who gave us alot of local recommendations too.
