Aqua Restaurant

Aqua Restaurant in Phuket is set right by the Pullman Panwa hotel pool, making it an easy choice for a leisurely breakfast or a laid-back dinner in a true resort atmosphere. Even on hot days the dining area stays comfortable thanks to fans, and the service remains attentive and genuinely friendly.

The restaurant’s standout feature is its breakfast buffet, which offers an impressively wide selection. Guests will find Thai staples such as noodles and rice dishes, made-to-order eggs, bacon and sausages, as well as pancakes, crêpes, and waffles. The spread is rounded out with pastries and desserts, fresh fruit, yogurts with toppings, several types of bread (including gluten-free options), cereals, and solid coffee from a bean-to-cup machine with freshly ground beans. If you’re staying for an extended period, the breakfast lineup may start to feel repetitive.

In the evening, Aqua switches to an à la carte menu and runs themed dinner buffets on specific nights — seafood evening, French night, plus Mexican and Indian buffet nights. Flavors are bold and well-defined, with highlights including prawn curries, Thai green curry, crab salads, and lighter seafood options like oysters shucked to order in front of guests. Occasionally, some buffet items may run out toward the end of service sooner than you’d like.

Another plus is the pleasant evening entertainment and shows around the resort, and the option to pair your meal with time by the pool.
