Thailand Vlog 🇹🇭 | Pullman Cape Panwa Beach Resort: 5 Nights Half Board

Our first family trip to Thailand! We kept things simple by spending this entire trip in Phuket but split between two resorts. Our first stop was the Pullman Cape Panwa Beach Resort, where we spent five nights. We booked the half board option, which included breakfast and our choice of either lunch or dinner. We chose dinner; this means a 3-course dinner at one of the hotel's two restaurants was included in our reservation. Honestly, the food was just okay and the service was super slow. But the half board option made things easy.
The resort is in a relatively quiet part of Phuket. There's a cluster of businesses right across the street, including a taxi stand, cafe, restaurants, smoothie stand, etc. A short 5-10 minute walk from the resort leads to the waterfront where there are additional restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and a small outdoor market that opens in the late afternoon. The market stalls sells Thai food, drinks, and some crafts and clothes.
The Pullman has a private beach along with three large swimming pools and one kiddie pool. Guests are able to use kayaks and standup paddle boards free of charge during high tide. This was our favorite resort activity! L + B enjoyed the kids' club, which offered a range of free activities as well as activities that charged a small fee. We also recommend the deep tissue massage at the resort spa! If there are no bookings immediately after yours, you can use the sauna for no additional charge.
