The Datai Langkawi

Good selection from the buffet and an à la carte menu with exceptional choices and taste to follow, we as a family couldn't have been happier. It is hard to find places that can match and exceed your personal expectations and it did all that and some more.

A breakfast buffet can do away with machine-made lattes and cappuccinos; a barista at this facility would be the cherry on top.

The breakfast is a foodies heaven - the most amazing selection of food and the pastries were straight out of the oven. I loved the complimentary ice cream cones in the afternoon. The room was amazing and had every amenity needed and more. The service was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done so efficiently. Every single person who worked there was so lovely and warm. They all really want you to have a wonderful time - which we did.

Everything was perfect.

If heaven on earth exists, then it is the Datai Hotel. Everything in this hotel is aimed at making you relax. Free electric buggy from the lobby to the beach and back. Room with a balcony. On the balcony you can enjoy a glass of wine and listen to the forest. The room is very spacious and cozy. Not just cozy but chic. Robes and flip-flops are a whole separate story. And the bathroom itself with bath accessories, with bath salt and handmade soap. In general, emotions are off the charts. Fruits in the room. Every evening a sweet compliment from the chef. Minibar is included in the price. Very friendly and welcoming staff. The hotel staff does everything so that you do not think about anything but just relax. A huge sandy beach with the cleanest sea water. All the sun loungers on the beach are in the shade of the trees, there is no need to move the umbrella all the time. Also on the beach you can take a kayak and swim to the nearest small island. Also on the beach they periodically give out compliments from the hotel in the form of ice cream and fruit. The food in the Malaysian and Indian cuisine restaurant is very tasty. My wife and I ordered two main courses and a salad and ate too much. You can also have a good dinner in the restaurant in the hotel lobby. This was the first hotel in my life from which I did not want to leave the city in the evening or even leave it at all. The hotel is located right inside the forest. Toucans fly around you and wild monkeys jump on the branches. We took a room with a view of the forest and were not disappointed. From a room with a sea view you also look at the pool. For example, I do not really like looking at the pool. Special thanks to the hotel for the fact that after booking the room they told us that we need to fill out the MDAC form. This form allows you to quickly pass passport control through the SART gate without the participation of a border service employee.

I would like to see some variety in the breakfast. There were few Malaysian, Indian and Chinese dishes. In the morning, almost all the hotels we stayed in Malaysia had noodles with broth. But this little thing did not affect our impression of this luxurious hotel.

Everything was great, facilities, staff, nature, beach, etc.

A lot of insects

Best place ever visited, loved the golf - beautiful, no bunkers and charming caddies

Fantastic place to enjoy nature, luxury environment, comfort and forget the hectic of life in the city and stress at work, sitting at breakfast with great high quality food overlooking the and listening to the rainforest. Fine dining with Chef Chai Chun Boon’s “Journey through the Far East” an experience in itself

Rooms offer a lot of comfort but management of lights not easy to figure out and always good for surprises. Main/quiet pool too exposed, meaning from all rooms of main building and restaurants you look at the pool - felt always watched somehow. Pool down at the beach or beach the better places to hide away; gym opening hours from 7 am to 8 pm unusually short, used to longer access in the evenings

This is a super hotel combining rainforest and beach. There are four excellent restaurants to choose from. The rainforest villas are spacious and well appointed. The exciting noises from the rainforest birds and animals add to the charm. Probably it’s great his strength is the attention to detail. Staff are plentiful and eager to help. I would definitely recommend it.

Superb location

Services are withdrawn the day prior to checkout which renders the villa a little useless on the last day

Rainforest setting is excellent. Staff and service is exceptional

Booking.com were terrible. We repeatedly got emails asking to reconfirm our credit card details (and includes specific reservation details) but contacting the resort directly confirmed everything was fine and paid. Booking.com seemed disinterested that there is attempted fraud.

The hotel is located in the middle of the jungle, not far from a wide secluded bay. We lived in the rainy forest villa. All the buildings are wonderfully integrated into the surrounding nature. For convenience, you can be taken around the territory on a buggy, we preferred to walk along beautiful winding trails, looking at local animals. There were also various birds, monitor lizards and various monkeys, geckos. The weather at the end of November was pleasant, short showers usually took place in the afternoon or late afternoon, it was pleasantly warm. The wide long beach is perfect for leisurely walks. As an activity, you can take a board, kayak or a small sailboat. The beach is well maintained, people are dispersed so that no one bothers anyone. The water was warm and practically wave-free. The staff is attentive and kind. We ate at home, it was convenient, the staff served the table as if we were in a restaurant. We really liked the privacy of this place, and our recommendations are for everyone who loves nature.

The people at this hotel are great, we liked everything

Place is quiet for healing & relaxation , surrounded by natural trees . Staff service is top notch . Pools are super clean .

Paradise Found, this is what heaven must look like. Beautiful rooms, staff, location, food, attention to detail, everything you could wish for. Wish we had booked longer!

Unique experience with different choice of foodQuality of food is very highService is excellent

The TV provided in the room should not be encased under a highly reflective glass, the experience is very bad when watching TV with all those reflections from the lights in the room unless all are switched off completely. We can even see ourselves like in the mirror at certain lighting.

Thank you to Afiq & Queenie for the warm welcome. Afiq is so generous with his welcome. We feel the warmth right away. We also love the romantic dinner & breakfast. Thank you to the F&B Manager & Beach Club

Breakfast was great, taste good with high quality ingredients

should have more choices and food varieties.

hotel is located a bit far from airport where you can enjoy nature and relax. Hotel and hotel staff is amazing and they were kind enough to upgrade a room. We enjoyed night walking tour in nature with guide. Everything is 5 star quality or more

Hot water did not last long both for bath tub and shower. We should have known better to pre-book free activities such as yoga which turned out to be not available during our stay, though.

Incredible experience overall. The property is beautiful, the staff is super friendly, and there are plenty of options in terms of dining and activities. Really enjoyed the Gulai House for dinner (Malaysian/Indian food). We got upgraded to a Rainforest Villa upon arrival which really made our stay even more enjoyable. Went to the spa for a massage and that was wonderful. A true luxury experience, all the details are thought through and well executed. Highly recommend !

Breakfast was great, taste and selection are satisfying.

Na. Maybe just the windy roads leading up to the hotel, the place itself is great.

Outstanding!! Absolutely everything exceeds expectations. The transfer and checkin process left me feeling like a celebrity, all the staff are just out of this world, the food and all the complimentary snacks/drinks throughout the stay (esp the truffles in the room!), the buggies are always quick to get you around the resort, the variety of animals you get to see without much effort, the free watersports - the list is endless! And then after all this you walk down to the beach and get that one in a million view....! The spa massage was one of the best I've ever had and the restaurants were all exceptional

Nothing at all

Breakfast is exceptional. There are so many different options to choose at the buffet and a la carte menu, variety of juices, champagne and other beverages. Selection of bread, pastry, fruit is greatPastry chef is excellent.
