Panviman Resort Koh Phangan, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi
To stay at this hotel you must love the quiet romantic beauty that would see you isolated from the rest of the island. We stayed here two nights to get away from it all and Thong Nai Pan is very beautiful.
This hotel is situated on the top of the cliffside and naturally, there are a few steps to climb and a steep hillside to walk most places. I enjoyed it because all I had been eating for days was bacon and egg breakfasts!
This hotel offers free taxi to and from the main town (some cab drivers wanted 1500Bt to drive to Thong Nai Pan one way due to its remoteness) and free internet. The value for money was definately there given this hotel is fairly expensive.
I would recommend for a few days but not a long stay. You can t beat the beauty of Thong Nai Pan and getting there on the island s mountainside roads is truely an adventure.

Panviman Resort Koh Phangan, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi
very nice hotel but much inconvenient
it is seated on a hill and no shuttle service is available
we asked 3 times for a coach and received three times a negative answer
it is really tiring to get up from the beach

Panviman Resort Koh Phangan, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi
Great hotel and fantastic location - certainly the best value for money (we had a Superior room) during our two week trip to Thailand. If you want to escape the frenzy of Koh Samui, then head for Koh Phangan and the Panviman. Beautiful setting on a headland overlooking two great beaches. Yes, the road is a little rough getting there (50 mins. from the port) but the relative seclusion and outstanding natural beauty of the setting more than make up for it. We particularly liked the pool area and the beach at Nai Pan Noi - good swimming (unlike much of the west coast of Koh Phangan) and several beachside restaurants/bars to choose from for lunch/dinner. Food at the hotel was fine, though being a four star, was obviously quite a bit more expensive than down on the beach. Breakfast - an excellent buffet. Overall, excellent rapport qualite prix as the French say (basically value for money). We would highly recommend the Panviman to all those planning a trip to the Samui archipelago.

Faultless - quick, smooth and very efficient.

Panviman Resort Koh Phangan, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi
The resort is really the nicest place I saw in Thailand. The prise you pay is worth the place you stay. Next time i would go there for a longer time than two nights, because the trip to the hotel is not so easy. The stuff is good, helpful, but the english isnยดt better than at a cheaper hotel.

Panviman Resort Koh Phangan, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi
Absolutely fantastic. Great beach, pool and rooms, we had a familly cottage which worked well for two adults and two children. Views were spectacular. Lots of cheaper restaurants within walking distance along beach.
The ride across from the port is a bit rough - however part of getting away. I would also recommend booking the speed boat to get you from Koh samui - more expensive but will save you half a day and is a great way to travel.
Staff were particulaly friendly. If we return to Koh Phangan we will ceratinly stay ia the Panviman.

Panviman Resort Koh Phangan, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi
I went to the hotel for my honeymoon, it is n hour and half away from anywhere, very remote so not easy to get around. The hotel itself is beautiful and the room was very nice.
However i have to complain bitterly about the customer service. They have a wooden walkway from hotel to beach that is not lit at night and has no side rails. My husband tripped and fell over the side landing 4m below on rocks. It was pitch black and he was badly hurt. The next morning i went to reception for help and they didnt want to know. They wanted to charge me 1600bhat to take him to the dr, wldnt let me see the manager and refused to move us to a lower level room, as we were up a very steep hill, he struggled to leave our room. We had to check out a day early and they werent even interested to know why. Im not saying they should accept responsibility but steps should be made to make the walkway safer and they should have been more helpful with the whole situation. An absolute let down.

We have just returned from the Panviman, the resortis truly stunning. Service was excellent throughout, and it really was the highlight of our holiday. Worth checking with resort for any current deals before booking.

Panviman Resort Koh Phangan, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi
We crossed the island in a minibus taking us on a nice jungle road to Panviman at the north-east bay of Koh Phangan. Our intentions were to visit a luxurious and beautifully located resort - and we were not disappointed. Everything was perfect! Our bungalow was excellent. Large, private and with our own second floor terrace with sunbeds and outdoor bathtop. Some 10 min. walk from our bungalow, we had access to a very nice beach or to the large pool fascilities. The place can however not be recommended to elderly people or walking impaired people. Extremely nice staff, extraordinary breakfast and dining restaurants in an alltogether wonderful place.

Panviman Resort Koh Phangan, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi
This is paradise on earth! Everything is just excellent: rooms, facilities, food, stunning views and nature. But... many many stairs to be climbed, so certainly impossible for people that are not very fit or disabled, and the resort is also a bit secluded; the nearby village has some shops, bars and resto s but that s it, unless you rent a bike or car and indulge yourself in some jungle trip!
Overall, the Panviman is probably the best resort we ve ever had, definitely not cheap but you certainly get a lot back for your money!

Excellent!
