Hilton Burau Bay Langkawi Resort

This Hilton resort, newly opened in April '26, offers excellent value for money compared to the Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons on the island, at less than half the price! It's located near Oriental Village, a 20-minute taxi ride from the airport. Getting to Cenang Beach takes about half an hour by taxi from the hotel, but honestly, once you've seen Cenang, you probably won't want to leave the resort anyway. The hotel boasts a gorgeous beach-style swimming pool, and the private beach is also large, beautiful, and very clean! The pool is divided into a children's pool and a family pool. There are sun loungers both by the pool and on the beach. I felt like I spent half my time just lounging by the pool! There are three restaurants at the hotel. The breakfast restaurant, Ginger Fire, is on the ground floor. The breakfast selection isn't huge, but the ingredients are fresh and quite good! There's also an Italian restaurant and a Chinese restaurant. I tried the Italian place, which mainly served pizzas, risottos, and pasta. It wasn't particularly amazing, but not bad either. I didn't try the Chinese restaurant. The hotel gym is pretty good, with excellent equipment, even a Pilates reformer. I went every morning around 7 AM and it was practically empty. The hotel also offers some activities, like beach stretching at 7 AM (though the instructor seemed like some random guy, very unprofessional, more about setting a mood). I didn't join other activities, but it felt like most guests here just relaxed by the pool, doing their own thing. Since it's newly opened and hasn't been heavily promoted in China, we encountered very few Chinese tourists, which probably explains why the prices haven't been inflated yet. The transportation here isn't the most convenient, but honestly, the main beach area in Langkawi or Kuah Town can be quite dirty and run-down. So, being a bit secluded with fewer people and beautiful scenery is actually quite nice! The hotel is new, and there are plenty of staff who are generally friendly, but some service details still need improvement. For example, there's no non-slip mat in the bathroom, and the front desk sometimes messes up booking information (e.g., they told me my booking was for two people when I had paid for three breakfasts, and I had to show them my confirmation!). Regarding bookings: I received two different responses via email about children staying at the hotel! One email said that for a 13-year-old child, it would be an additional 150 MYR (including an extra bed and breakfast, and the price was the same even without an extra bed). Another email replied that a 13-year-old child could stay for free, only needing to pay for the child's breakfast. In the end, I booked through a travel platform, directly reserving for three people with breakfast but no extra bed. Perhaps the new hotel is still figuring things out themselves! #Langkawi #Hilton #Malaysia #IslandGetaway

The front desk staff were welcoming and helpful; they even upgraded our room to one with sunbeds and a terrace for our honeymoon, which we greatly appreciated. The hotel is new and clean, and the breakfasts are decent, offering everything you'd expect for a European breakfast (omelets, cheeses, fruits, pastries – all good quality). The hotel also has an excellent spa that I highly recommend. They have a separate bungalow for massages with its own bathroom, shower, and terrace. The prices are reasonable, and the massage was superb (and I speak from experience). There are two fantastic, new tennis courts at the hotel. The beach is clean and spacious, with easy entry into the water and no big waves, making it perfect for families with children. The hotel also caters to adults with an 'adults-only' pool area (a quiet, lovely spot with a good menu). The staff there are responsive and attentive. Highly recommended!

Everything was perfect: the location, environment, service, facilities, breakfast, and pool. I just want to highlight one small detail: after communicating online about needing an extra bed, it was already set up by the time we checked in, and all the hotel amenities were prepared for three people. Highly recommended!

Right by the sea with its own private beach, the views are stunning. The hotel's Italian restaurant is good and reasonably priced.

The environment here is great, right next to the Langkawi Sky Bridge, and the food is good too, with a very rich breakfast. The Chinese (ethnic Chinese) head chef is very chatty and wonderful. However, as a newly opened hotel, the service currently has issues, and the facilities aren't quite up to par. When we first arrived, the main pool was under maintenance and only opened on the day we left. When we ate at the hotel's Italian restaurant, after the appetizers were served, we waited a full hour before the main course arrived, only after we prompted the staff. They didn't bother to check on our preferences or schedule at all. Furthermore, some room types are only separated from other rooms by a connecting door, and we could smell cigarette smoke drifting into our room from next door.
