Buffet Breakfast at Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach Resort

Previously:

I always look forward to a hotel buffet breakfast and this one definitely didn't disappoint.  The spread was fantastic, with a great variety of dishes ranging from Thai favourites to Western classics.

One thing I really liked was that the main dishes, including the noodle station and traditional Thai desserts, change daily.  It gives you something new to look forward to each morning, especially if you're staying for a few days.



Porridge/noodle station

Freshly made noodle and egg station

Fruits station

Pancake, waffle and French toast station

Soft and crispy bacon

Sushi

Breads

Donuts wall

The donut display also caught my attention.  Instead of placing them on trays, they hang them on a colorful hook walls, making them look fun, vibrant and super tempting.  I's such a simple idea, but it really stands out.


The most memorable part of the breakfast, though, was the bacon.  Most hotels usually serve either crispy bacon or soft bacon.  But here, they offered both.  It was such a pleasant surprise!  I've always preferred soft bacon, but after trying the crispy version here, I'm genuinely torn.  They made a perfect crispy bacon, perfectly crispy without being burnt, while the soft bacon was also delicious.  So, reader, which one do you prefer: crispy bacon or soft bacon?

Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach Resort, Thailand

Our stay at the Pullman Panwa Hotel Pool Villa was easily one of the highlights of our Phuket trip.  Tucked away in the peaceful Panwa area, the resort feels like a quiet escape from the busy tourist spots while still offering everything you need for a relaxing family holiday.



Welcome drink



We stayed in one of their Pool Villas, and wow... the room was huge!  There was so much space for our family to spread comfortably, but my favourite part had to be the bathroom.  It was incredibly spacious, beautifully designed, and felt like a mini spa all on its own.









The best part for the kids?  Having our own private swimming pool literally just a few steps from the room.  They could jump straight into the pool whenever they wanted - morning, afternoon or even at night.  It made the holiday feel extra special, and honestly, it was hard to convince them to leave the villa!




One thing we absolutely loved about staying in a private pool villa was enjoying in-room dining.  After a fun day in the sun, it was nice to stay in, relax by our pool and have dinner delivered.  The pizza was such a hit that ended up ordering it two nights in a row.

The resort also surprised us with a lovely birthday setup for our daughter.  They decorated our room beautifully and even prepared a cute little chocolate birthday cake for her.  It was such a thoughtful gesture that made her day even more memorable.






Beyond the villa, the resort has two main swimming pools for guests.  The main pool is massive and perfect for both adults and kids.  If you're looking for something different, you can even rent an underwater scooter to explore the pool in a fun way.  There's also a dedicated kids' pool complete with a slide, which kept the little ones entertained for hours.






The resort also has direct beach access, where we spotted so many starfish during low tide.  It became one of our kids' favourite activities just walking along the shore and looking for marine life. 

Can you spot Patrick?


There's also a Kids Club with nannies to look after, giving parents a chance to relax while the children have fun.






In the evening, the atmosphere became even more magical with the fire show help by the beach on selected nights.  Watching the performance with the sea breeze was the perfect day to end the day.


Overall, Pullman Panwa's Pool Villa was everything we hoped for - a relaxing family gateway with spacious accommodation, thoughtful hospitality, fantastic facilities and plenty of fun for both kids and adults.  We would happily stay here again on our next trip to Phuket.
