The Datai Langkawi

This is now my top choice for a resort. Every single staff member was incredibly nice. The hotel's design, clearly the work of a master, truly sets it apart. It felt like staying in a zoo, but without any of the insect problems, which was wonderful. Such a beautiful memory.

I highly, highly recommend The Datai. First and foremost, the service is incredibly thoughtful. From the moment we arrived, we felt so well taken care of. They even prepared separate welcome treats and drinks for the kids. The rainforest treehouse room was also very comfortable, timeless in its appeal, and all the facilities were impeccably maintained, showing no signs of age. In the afternoon, fresh chocolates would be delivered to our room, and when we were relaxing on the beach, ice cream would magically appear. No matter where we went, we felt looked after – truly service with attention to every detail. The beach is fantastic, and there are plenty of water activities. We even got to participate in the birdwatching activity we were really looking forward to. The food and beverage prices were within a reasonable range, I even thought they were quite affordable. It's definitely a place I'd love to visit again.

The pinnacle of resort hotels. This hotel offers the best of both worlds: a forest and a beach vacation. Seeing some small animals was a delightful experience. It's a good idea to check the local weather before you go, as there's not much to do during the rainy season.
