Independent hotels in Koh Panyi

"The JW Marriott Resort was absolutely breathtaking. The property is massive, with so many areas and restaurants that I didn’t even get a chance to experience everything due to time constraints. I stayed for a week in December, and the Christmas decorations throughout the resort added such a magical, festive touch—it truly elevated the entire atmosphere. From the moment my car arrived at the hotel, I was completely speechless. There was this overwhelming feeling of awe that’s honestly hard to put into words. It was one of those moments where you just feel how special a place is. My room exceeded all expectations. I stayed in a deluxe cabin, and it was incredibly spacious and beautifully designed. The bathroom opened into the bedroom, which made the room feel even more luxurious and open—just stunning. The staff truly made this experience unforgettable. A very special shout-out to OY at the concierge desk, who planned my tours and went above and beyond to make sure my vacation was seamless and memorable. She genuinely took care of me. The front desk team and the JW Café staff were also exceptional—warm, professional, and attentive at every interaction. Another huge shout-out goes to the team at Ginja Restaurant. If you’re traveling solo and craving amazing Thai food, this is a must-visit. The staff makes you feel right at home, and the food is outstanding. And Benihana—hands down the best steak I’ve ever had. You absolutely cannot visit Thailand without experiencing the sp"

"Villa was nice and spacious and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast has limited with variety in my opinion and gym was small. Overall great accommodation! Well maintained. "

"The rooms and property are incredible but what makes the stay is the service and hotel staff. They are amazing and probably the best of any hotel we have ever been to"

"Every aspect of our stay was amazing ….incredible attentive staff…the hotel is an absolute dream"

"Great views"

"Absolutley loved our stay. Staff are very attentive, they will look after you and help with anything. The room itself is stunning, even better on an evening. Its 15 minutes walk to the beach and night market, or a free shuttle to the beach. Nice quiet resort where you can simply relax. I would absolutley recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Kata. "

"We had an excellent stay. Service was good, rooms and breakfast were great. Facilities in kids club were not as comprehensive as some others, but they had good service and activities. "

"SALA Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort absolutely deserves five stars. From the moment I arrived, the customer service was exceptional. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making the stay unforgettable. The atmosphere throughout the property is peaceful and relaxing. It feels like a private sanctuary where you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy every moment. The amenities make it even better. The onsite restaurant offers a wide range of dishes with options for every diet, and everything I tried was delicious. The Muay Thai boxing lessons were a fun and energizing surprise. The pool area is stunning, the massages are top tier, and having direct access to the beach is the perfect way to start or end each day. If you want a resort that blends comfort, luxury, and authentic Thai hospitality, this is the place. I would come back without hesitation."

"Everything was very well organised "
