พันวารีย์ รีสอร์ท(Panvaree Resort)

Local idílico mas impossível dormir. A localizo respetiva é simplesmente incrível. E ao início custa um bocado habituar ao balanço dos bangalôs. É realmente estranhos par quem nos está habituado como nós. Mas em pouco tempo ficamos aços. A vista é simplesmente de cortar a respiração. Tudo estava organizado e não precisamos preocupar com nada. As refeições são incluídas e algumas tours também. Alguns pontos negativos: O pior de tudo era o barulho no quarto a noite. As instalações já estão muito gastas e alguns ferros que seguram os bangalôs e os passeios estão partidos. Em especial junto ao nosso quarto (número 10). Com um pouco de vento e o balanço das pequenas ondas os ferros batiam uns nos outros de forma constante e imprevisível em sons muito altos. Nas duas noites que ficamos foi impossível dormir. Tanto eu quanto a minha esposa sofremos bastante. Na primeira noite pensei que fosse só eu mas ela também não conseguiu dormir. Pensamos que na segunda noite ia ser melhor mas foi gula. Outro ponto a melhorar são as refeições. Servem demasiados comida para cada grupo. Claramente um exagero e muito desperdício.

We booked last minute to stay at Panvaree and could only get availability in a "budget double room" above the restaurant and with no direct lake access. I was slightly apprehensive and kept checking to see if there had been any cancellations for the bungalows but this was not to be. All I can say is wow. Even in this room (which was still lovely) the whole experience was magical, the staff were incredible and the setting beyond words. Both my 9 year old son and I can't wait to have the time to go back again, hopefully for longer next time. Thank you so much.

My stay at Panvaree Resort was marred by a distressing incident, revealing the hotel's lack of medical preparedness. They directed me to a person purporting to be a nurse, offering expired medication at a charge. The manager's dismissive response compounded the issue. This negligence raises serious concerns about guest safety. Panvaree's approach to medical emergencies and their disregard for expired medication risks guests' well-being. Until addressed, I cannot recommend Panvaree Resort to fellow travelers.

Quel endroit Endroit magnifique avec une magnifique vue Chambre spacieuse un peu vieillissante Pour la salle de bain et wc il faut ressortir à l exterieur Idéal pour une nuit seulement Attention. Aux personnes ayant le ma de mer impossible la chambre tangue pas mal quand même

I loved this place, its so peaceful and beautiful. I stayed 2 nights with food and trips included when booking direct. I even got to see wild Elephants which was my highlight. Its good value for money but your paying for location and the food was nice and staff friendly.

We stayed at the panvaree for 2 nights and it was a perfect stay. All of the meals and tours (except national park fee) were included in the price which was a surprise to us and amazing value. The tours were brilliant and our guide found wild elephants before any other boats did. We could hear gibbons from our bungalow in the morning and took some kayaks out to find them (kayaks also included in cost). It is a surreal place. The bungalow was great, very comfy pillows and beds, and jumping into the lake straight from our room was sensational. The staff were really friendly and there was a lovely relaxed vibe. We have already recommended a stay at this place to friends. Amazing hotel!

Panvaree Resort is a like a surreal dream. Nestled deep in Khao SoK national park it's a little difficult to get to, but well-worth the effort. We were greeted at the pier by Benny, Panvaree's friendly and helpful guest liaison (and tour guide and bartender extraordinaire,) and ferried by long tail boat to the most magical and beautiful spot. Panvaree's floating bungalows were beautiful, clean, cool, and relaxing. The food was delicious and the complimentary kayaks were fun to help us explore the scenery. Definitely take the included sunset/sunrise boat tours. The swimming was DIVINE! All the staff were friendly and helpful and Benny went far above and beyond with lending good guidance and helping us arrange travel for the next portion of our trip. Grateful for the privilege of visiting this amazing place.

Interesting set up of floating hotel rooms. Staff is anti-social, walk way between rooms could be dangerous for some. Not much to do there. Food less than adequate. Over priced, over rated, and a long 45 minute boat ride from dock, motor so loud I needed ear plugs. I suggest staying at another hotel on shore offering 24 hour electricity. Spend your money taking an early morning boat tour. We thought strange no birds, some said flooding canyon killed generations of birds. Two days, one night more than enough. Next we will return to Krabi same day. Hotel didn't wait for us for early morning tour, four rooms of friends. We had largest room prepaid, friends rented same room on upgrade for less money. Nothing special about this hotel, look at other locations.

Let’s start with the positives. The location of this resort is absolutely stunning, but that’s not difficult since Cheow Lan Lake is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Our room was clean and comfortable, with a working airconditioning between 17:00 and 09:00 hrs. The reason I am rating this location as poor has to do with staff and food. We booked a private tour through a third-party provider. We had our own guide and only used the resort for sleeping, eating and drinking. One of the first things that I noticed, that staff was considerably more friendly with all the guests that booked a tour directly with the resort. Giving them a warm welcome, and waiving them goodbye. During dinner service, the staff was much more engaging with the tour groups that booked directly with the resort. They certainly were not unfriendly with us, but the difference was clearly noticeable and I find this very strange. Then the food. It was one of the worst food experiences we had in Thailand, and I am very much used to eat authentic food from all over the country. Including the southern spicy Thai food. The food here was bland. No spices at all. Boring at best. An insult to the Thai kitchen. It was also clear that leftovers were used and recycled. In the evening, it was a bbq. Staff were all crowded around the grill. At someone point, about 5 to 6 people were ‘busy’ behind the bbq grilling sowers, and still it took ages for the food to be finished. We were told ‘5 minutes’, but these definitely were ‘Thai 5 minutes’. At one point, staff was eating all the food themselves and throwing a small party. Even though it was NYE, staff should be primarily focussed on serving their paying customers. Again, we saw them being very proactieve with ‘their tour group’. No one around to take drink orders, it took over 30 minutes to get served. The breakfast was sub par, mediocre at best. Cheap ingredients and food that was clearly yesterday’s bbq. It would be interesting to know if all the positive reviews are from guests booking directly with the review. And it these people have ever eaten authentic Thai food as opposed to the low quality stuff served here.
