Romantic Hotels in Kedah, Malaysia

The hotel itself is well located and has a certain charm. The furniture is quite old, but in a way it adds character to the place. The staff we interacted with were generally kind and polite. However, we had a very upsetting experience with the Ramadan buffet restaurant. We arrived at the hotel around 6:00 PM after a long day of travel with two flights (Phuket to Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi). My mother had been fasting all day for Ramadan and had not eaten or drunk anything. When we saw that the restaurant was preparing the Ramadan buffet, my mother sat down hoping to break her fast there. Unfortunately we were refused and told that reservations had to be made one day in advance. This was very surprising for us, as we had just arrived in the country and could not possibly have reserved the day before. We were directed to another nearby restaurant, but after waiting more than one hour we still had not received any food. During that time my mother — who had been fasting all day — still had nothing to eat, and my two-year-old child was crying because he was hungry. In the end, my mother was only able to eat about two hours after the time of breaking the fast. Aside from this very difficult experience, the hotel itself is pleasant and the staff are friendly. However, I hope the management will consider being more flexible and understanding in situations like this, especially for guests observing Ramadan and families traveling with young children.

Best beach view but like the rest of Langkawi it’s just missing a few things. The family pool is sensational…but it’s pebblecrete, so it’ll tear up feet if you’re in there doing anything active. The pool bar opens at midday, so it’s definitely not set for early swimmers who might want a juice and snack. No lifeguard and almost no kids pool area. The pool was 1.1 to 1.5m deep so not toddler friendly. The rooms were great but limited lift access so a nice 3rd floor view has three flights of stairs. They have a reading room, which is a nice, air-conditioned lounge, but it only opens at 11am. The main restaurant has… average food. It’s not what you’d hope. They have the Chefs Table Restaurant wich was more expensive but actually had good food. It was hot in there though. We went in end of March and it was 32/32 degrees every day. Overall it’s a nice place and close to the mangrove tours but it just falls short of being really good. But that’s pretty much all of Langkawi. Staff were really nice.

The front desk requires a cash deposit, but there's an ATM right outside the hotel, just turn left. To the right, there's a travel agency, and across the street, a duty-free shop. The beach is right behind the hotel, so the location is great. However, our room faced the beach and was very noisy at night. Luckily, we were exhausted every day, so it didn't affect our sleep. For breakfast, I could only really eat the bread, eggs, and fruit. The staff cleaned the room daily. There was no hairdryer and nowhere to dry clothes. Everything else was very good.

Nice hotel with real potential, but it feels neglected and needs maintenance. The rooftop pool is pleasant with great views, though the big umbrella is very rusted and it closes at 7 pm, a bit too early. The room was excellent: large, spacious and really beautiful. Breakfast is a highlight, very good selection and the pancakes were outstanding. Staff is hit or miss: some are friendly and helpful, others seem bored and uninterested. The rooftop restaurant idea is nice, but service was poor. We waited a full hour for dinner while later arrivals got served first, very frustrating. Overall: good bones, great room and breakfast, but inconsistent service and visible wear and tear hold it back. Could be excellent with some care.

The hotel allowed us to check in early and even gave us drink vouchers. The pool was beautiful, and the room was comfortable. The service was excellent, and the breakfast spread was fantastic. Definitely don't miss the Langkawi sunset cruise and the mangrove tour!

Overall, our stay at Pelangi Beach Resort in Langkawi was pleasant, but it did not fully meet the expectations of a five-star property, especially considering the price. The resort itself is beautiful in terms of location: the gardens are well maintained, and the beachfront is very enjoyable. However, the structure is starting to feel a bit dated and could benefit from some refurbishment. Our main disappointment was the room condition. The curtain next to the air conditioning unit was in very poor shape—stained and almost moldy—which was quite off-putting. The air conditioning system itself seemed old, very noisy, and difficult to regulate, making it hard to find a comfortable temperature (either too cold or too warm). On a positive note, the staff was truly outstanding—everyone was kind, welcoming, and extremely helpful throughout our stay. Service is definitely a strong point of this resort. Breakfast was also enjoyable, particularly at the Malaysian restaurant, where the food quality felt more authentic and satisfying. In conclusion, while the experience was overall good, the resort feels somewhat overpriced for what it currently offers. With some improvements and updates, it could truly match its five-star positioning. At this price point, however, we would probably consider other options next time.

I stayed at this hotel in Langkawi during my trip with my husband, and the place was truly stunning. From the moment we arrived, everything felt so peaceful and beautiful. I stayed there only for a night including with breakfast. The room was very nice, the bed was extremely comfortable, and I honestly regretted that we only stayed for one night. Waking up to such a breathtaking view was an experience on its own—the scenery around the hotel was absolutely amazing. One of my favourite parts of the resort was the beautiful swimming pool located right in the middle. It added so much charm to the place and made the whole environment feel even more relaxing and luxurious. Sitting by the pool and taking in the surroundings felt like a dream. I would say this was my favourite stay on my whole vacation there. That said, the journey to the resort was a bit challenging. The road leading up was quite confusing and honestly a little scary, as the resort is located at the top of a hill. Driving up from the bottom felt intense, and the pathway could definitely be improved. But once we reached the resort and stepped inside, it felt like entering heaven. The atmosphere, the view, and the comfort completely made up for the drive. Despite the challenging road, the experience was totally worth it. I truly fell in love with the place, and next time I visit Langkawi, I’ll definitely make sure to stay there longer.

Hotel is 15 floors. Check in to room with sea view on 11th floor - big, clean carpeted, separate shower and tub. Lobby pretty big with restaurant, meeting room, tour guide and a bistro. Welcome drink is a choice of fruit juice or beer at bistro. Also included is a high tea voucher for following day. Took a short walk and found a variety of different food places around - malay, Indian, Korean, Japanese and a tze char joint as well. A lot of different varieties of shops and duty free shops as Langkawi is a duty-free island where alcohol is cheaper than soft drinks. Many seafood joints around within 0.6 to 14 km radius.

We loved our stay here so much we kept extending! Great room, great facilities, great staff. Plus we had a beautiful view out the window of sunset!

This resort-style hotel truly embodies a Southeast Asian vibe, boasting beautiful pools and a garden with stunning scenery, where squirrels 🐿️ and birds leisurely forage on the lawn. Although the room facilities are a bit dated, they are still clean and tidy. On our first day, we noticed the bathroom sink wasn't draining properly, and after reporting it to the front desk, someone was sent to fix it immediately. Watching the sunset from a lounge chair on the hotel's beach in the evening was the most enjoyable part of the day. There are quite a few restaurants around the hotel, and while it's not as bustling as Cenang Beach, it's perfect for travelers seeking peace and quiet. (Even if you want to go to Cenang Beach, it's very close – about a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute taxi ride). Highly, highly recommended for those on a budget who want to experience authentic Southeast Asian charm! 👍🏖️🌴🌴
