Popular Luxury Hotels in Langkawi

Fantastic! The Moroccan and Malay-style decor is beautiful, and the resort itself is huge with an incredibly long white sand beach and stunning sunsets. The restaurant, bar, and room service all exceeded our expectations. There's a fantastic range of activities available, and the paddleboarding and jungle adventure were highlights. Highly recommend – we'll definitely be back!

Overall, it was pretty good, but I wasn't entirely satisfied with the service. When I first checked in, everything in the room was fine. However, after the room was cleaned on the second day, none of the complimentary drinks or snacks were refilled. They also didn't replace the toothbrush I had thrown away; instead, they retrieved it from the trash and put it back in its place 🤦‍♀️. The hotel provided a fruit platter, but on the second day, they took away the knife, so I could only stare at the fruit. They have a Western restaurant with sunset views. When I asked, they recommended it for watching the sunset, but mentioned I needed to book a table in advance. Later that evening, the weather wasn't great – it was cloudy. I figured even if there was no sunset, I could at least enjoy the sea view. But when I got there, I was very disappointed. Not only was there no sunset, but there was no view at all. I was just sitting inside watching the staff bustling around. Afterward, I requested to change tables, and I was grudgingly given a spot where I could see just a tiny bit of the sea.

5/5 — A Truly Magical Stay in the Rainforest We had a wonderful and incredibly relaxing stay at The Datai Langkawi. From the moment we arrived, the service was absolutely top-notch. every staff member made us feel welcome, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. It was impressive (and touching) that many of them greeted us by name throughout our stay. The level of hospitality here is on another level. The room was perfect — beautifully designed, spacious, and surrounded by nature. Stepping out into the rainforest felt surreal, like being in a different world. During our stay, we spotted hornbills, macaques, and dusky leaf monkeys (also known as spectacled langurs) with their distinctive white “spectacles.” Such an incredible experience to be so close to wildlife in their natural habitat. The pool and beach were both fantastic, quiet and serene, with excellent service all around. The restaurants were excellent as well — consistently delicious food, whether breakfast or dinner, paired with attentive, warm service. Every moment felt effortless and peaceful. We loved our stay so much that we’ve decided to make The Datai our annual short getaway.
