Travel reviews for Kantary Bay Hotel
Date of stay: Aug 16, 2011
Accommodation and facilities:
Absolutely wonderful!
We stayed here for 4 nights and therefore got a free upgrade, from a studio to a one-bedroom apartment. The room was very big with a lovely ocean view.
The hotel itself has two pools, one main pool and a smaller roof pool. As a guest of Kantary Bay you may also use the facilities at their sister hotel, Cape Panwa Hotel, which is very luxurious. There s a free shuttle going there every 10 mins, but you can also walk in about 10 mins. Panwa Hotel has a private beach which is really nice and safe for swimming even in the wet season.
The included breakfast is nice with a large range of food. The timber restaurant just down the road serves great and cheap food.
The reception staff was VERY friendly and helpful!
We (young couple) thought it was a bit far from everything, although the hotel does offer shuttles to and from Patong and Phuket Town and you can rent motorbikes just down the road.
All in all an amazing stay and definitely worth the money!

Service was excellent! Booking online gave us a free upgrade in rooms. Would definitely use sawadee.com again.

Accommodation and facilities:
The hotel was as good as could be for its value and the best of it was the reception, with warm - friendly and helpful people... in particular Ms. Rat (nickname) whom makes such a great difference and takes time and patience to help and orient the guest beyond expectations. -- Food was pretty good, particularly at the Italian Restaurant which I ll dare to call excellent! -- We will definitely recommend this hotel and will definitely go back some time... 2 thumbs up!
Reservation service:
As usual, accurate, efficient and up to the needs. Ms. Bow is always so helpful and knowledgeable.

Accommodation and facilities:
I and my family stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and it was a pleasant stay. I booked 2 studio rooms. When I checked in , the staff informed me that they upgraded us to 2 one-bedroom rooms. The room was big and cozy.
Service was great. We rode a free shuttle bus to Cape Panwa Hotel to enjoy the beach over there. It s completely free of charge and the beach was great.
One thing to improve that the cleanliness of juice glasses in breakfast. I found out that most of glasses were stained.
Overall, I give this hotel 9 out of 10 and worth coming back.

Accommodation and facilities:
Hotellet riktigt bra för att vara klassat med 3 stjärnor. Personalen vänlig, och tuk-tuk gratis till Cape Panwa Hotel (på andra sidan en rätt brant backe).
Nära till Longtail-båtar och rätt bra priser på t.ex. en heldag till Coral Island (c.2000 bath för 8 pers).
Lite väl lugnt ställe frö en del kanske men vi stannade här i 5 dagar innan vi drog vidare. Bra ställe för avkoppling.
Reservation service:
Enkelt att boka. Suveränt !

Accommodation and facilities:
We found the Bay Hotel to be good value and were not disappointed with the accommodation - although basic it was clean and comfortable. Cape Panwa region is very quiet and we were pleased that we were not spending much more than a week there. There are limited restaurants and the beaches are o.k. There wasn t many sunbeds around the pools in either the Bay Hotel or the Cape Panwa. We received good service at the Bay Hotel from the staff and breakfast was also fine.
Reservation service:
Excellent as always.

Accommodation and facilities:
Nice hotel, beautiful rooms. Very clean and nice. Helpful staff.
The pool of the roof was not as beautiful as in the picture, but as you can use the even moore beautiful pool at Cape Panwa hotel, it didn´t matter.
Few restaurants, almost no shops, not much tourists. Wery quiet to be so close to Phuket. In fact, a bit boring in Cape Panwa sometimes. But,it is easy to take a trip to Phuket town if you wish.
Reservation service:
Perfect as always
