5-Star Hotels in Kedah, Malaysia

Honestly, we found it to be quite a disappointment. We had a rainforest chalet, but we didn't like its location. The service is excellent, as they pick you up when you call, but sometimes there can be a wait. The chalet is a bit on the small side and also somewhat in need of renovation. You wouldn't want to sit on the balcony in the dark. We found the resort too busy/crowded, but that's a matter of taste. We don't like that. Because it was so busy, there were no loungers available by the pool. We also only just managed to get the last loungers on the beach. It was also difficult to find a table during breakfast. There's not much to do at the resort. For older people, that's fine, but not for us. The restaurants are okay. We ate at the restaurant on the water. You have a beautiful view during your dinner there. We thought that was very nice. If you like crowds and hustle, just want to lie in the sun all day, and eat on-site, then this resort could be a good option. However, the value for money isn't entirely okay in our opinion. You pay top dollar for a tiny, secluded chalet, and if you want to lie by the pool, there's no lounger available. If you have to fight for a lounger and a breakfast table every day, we would be very frustrated. Luckily, we only stayed for two days. We felt that was sufficient.

Pros: 1. The pool is beautiful, and it's covered, providing shade during the day, which is excellent. Kids can spend half the day playing there. 2. The restaurant is next to the pool, so you can eat while watching your children swim. 3. There's a kids' playground and a recreation area, which our children visited every day. 4. The fried rice at the restaurant was good and suited our taste. 5. There's a mall about a 10-minute walk away, with places like Starbucks and KFC, and a night market in the evenings. Cons: 1. The water from the bathtub in our room was yellow, so even with the disposable tub liners, we couldn't use it. 2. Breakfast was mediocre. The waffles and egg burritos were good, but the egg burritos were only available on the first day and then disappeared. 3. We paid for three days of breakfast for our child when we first arrived, but when we didn't go on the last day, they wouldn't refund us.

Our family of three chose a two-bedroom suite, and it was incredibly spacious and comfortable. I highly recommend this place to friends and family visiting Langkawi. The facilities are new, the location is excellent, and it's fully equipped with everything you could need, including a steam oven and all sorts of kitchen utensils, all brand new. The best part is that the staff cleans the dishes for you the next day! The front desk staff during check-in was exceptionally helpful and accommodating; they even allowed us to pay the deposit in USD instead of Malaysian Ringgit. The doormen were always quick to open doors for us when we entered and exited. At checkout, multiple staff members from the lobby came out to bid us farewell, making us feel like cherished friends – it made me incredibly eager to return and visit them again. The staff's high level of professionalism and quality service really impressed me; this hotel is incredibly well-managed, and I felt everyone's smiles and kindness. The location is truly fantastic; you can walk to the commercial street, bars, and restaurants. We just asked how to get to the beach, and a staff member immediately drove us there in a small bus. I was genuinely moved by their staff's dedication.

The resort view is very beautiful, lots of nature around. Even though a shelly beach, the private beach is a big plus. Been visiting for 11 nights, if you need something (amenities, meal wise), just ask, the professional staff will deliver. Tide pool unfortunately was out of service, but renovations started before we left. Big swimming pool awesome, kids pool awesome! Just check sharp corners of broken tiles. Assume due to humid warm weather, mould on the outside of walls and doors is an issue, but still not nice to see that no effort was made to wipe it off throughout our 11 night stay. For all activities (mangrove forest tour, island hopping, cable car and the sky bridge etc), easy to organize via reception or private tour companies (do your homework, can get the experiences for cheaper). Breakfast very diverse and yummie! Kids playroom needs a thorough clean, lots of human hair lying around. Gym well set up with lots of equipment, reminder there is a jacuzzi and sauna free of charge to utilize. Overall thank you once again for all the professionalism from reception staff, room cleaning services, restaurant staff, buggy drivers, kids club staff and the regular checkins by staff like Justin for making our home away from home stay very enjoyable! Hope to return soon in the future!

The hotel boasts a very convenient location, just a 10-minute drive from the airport, yet there's no airplane noise. It has a large, well-maintained property with two swimming pools. Even though we visited during the low season, finding available sun loungers by the pool could be a bit of a hunt. Breakfasts were standard. All the island's amenities and cafes are a short walk away, about 10 minutes from the hotel. There are tennis and pickleball courts available, and rackets and balls are complimentary for guests. Kids will love the petting zoo on site, featuring goats and chickens. The beach is good, and the rooms are spacious with comfortable beds.

This hotel is nestled on a tranquil white sand beach, boasting expansive grounds and an all-villa layout. The environment is absolutely stunning, like being in a forest. The ecology is fantastic, with squirrels and birds visible everywhere. The rooms are spacious, and the overall resort experience was excellent. The sunsets from the beach are breathtaking. While there are 5 restaurants, the food quality is only average, not as good as Danna. Service can be a bit slow to respond, but overall it's still good.

The staff's attitude was generally good. Turndown service was provided in the evening, and there were welcome fruits. Since it was the Easter holiday, they even specially gifted chocolates shaped like bunnies and Easter eggs, along with a handwritten card which felt very ceremonial! The only area for improvement would be the restaurant's food, as the breakfast selection was quite limited.

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.

Highly recommend！The resort boasts a private beach with stunning scenery. It’s quiet and less crowded, perfect for strolling and letting kids play in the sand. The sunset view every day is breathtaking, with orange glow spreading across the sea, full of healing vibes. Surrounded by lush tropical greenery, the whole resort offers a tranquil and fantastic holiday atmosphere. This trip left us wonderful memories, and we look forward to coming back!

The hotel environment is excellent, with its own private beach and a large swimming pool. The architecture is unique, and the rooms are spacious and well-equipped, though some minor details could be improved. Its location is a bit secluded, but it's not far from the airport and very close to Oriental Village and the Panorama Langkawi. There aren't many dining options around the hotel, but I tried all three main restaurants and highly recommend the Italian one. The breakfast buffet was a bit unremarkable, but the à la carte menu was fantastic. I highly recommend trying the pancakes, waffles, eggs Benedict, and Roti Canai from the à la carte. They also have a great selection of coffee; I recommend the Flat White and Latte! Oh, and don't forget to take a walk on the beach at night and look up at the incredible starry sky!
