The Datai Langkawi

We had a wonderful experience at the hotel. Special thanks to Miss Anne (Front Office), who attended to us during check-in. She was warm, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. We would also like to commend all the staff, from the Concierge team to the restaurant staff, for their excellent service and hospitality throughout our stay. Besides the outstanding service, the room was cozy, spacious, and comfortable. What truly made our stay special was the beautiful rainforest environment surrounding the property. We enjoyed waking up to the fresh air, lush greenery, and soothing sounds of nature. The rainforest was also filled with beautiful tropical plants and towering trees, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting everywhere we walked. The natural surroundings provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, allowing us to relax and reconnect with nature. The combination of exceptional hospitality, comfortable accommodations, and the stunning rainforest atmosphere made our stay truly unforgettable. We created many wonderful memories during our visit and will definitely return again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing nature retreat with excellent service and facilities! ❤️

My favourite resort in Malaysia and top 3 in SE Asia! The Datai is Langkawi's inaugural luxury resort and it has maintained its position as #1 in Langkawi despite the passing of time. Its incredibly well maintained and the location and sense you get when you stay there is just magical. I don't think there's another place I've been to where you feel immersed in the rainforest but at the same time enjoy the beauty of the beach. The beach is great to swim in and the food is great. Such friendly service as well, a special shoutout to the breakfast team who took great care of our group (with 6 kids under the age of 10!), the buggy drivers and Danish who was my personal trainer for two sessions. Seriously one of the best PT sessions I've had so if you're at the resort plz do book him in! One has to work off all the good food :o) Comfortable rooms and love seeing the hornbills, nature walks at night (saw a flying lemur)! We want to make visiting The Datai an annual affair.

The Datai Langkawi is one of the most extraordinary places our family has ever stayed. Nestled within one of the world’s oldest rainforests, it offers a rare sense of peace, beauty and connection with nature. The culinary experience was exceptional, with a wonderful variety of restaurants, each offering its own unique atmosphere and outstanding cuisine. Every meal was beautifully prepared using the freshest ingredients, while the breakfasts were among the best we’ve ever had an incredible spread with something for everyone and a highlight of each morning. What truly set The Datai apart, however, was its people. Every member of staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable, treating us with genuine warmth and kindness. Their thoughtfulness was extraordinary; even after we had left, a member of the team drove all the way to the airport to deliver my husband’s Apple Watch charger that we’d accidentally left behind. It’s this level of care and attention that makes The Datai so special. Surrounded by breathtaking rainforest, incredible wildlife and outstanding hospitality, it gave our family memories that we will treasure for a lifetime.

Memories left with great hospitality & excellent facilities. It's The People who makes this place wonderful. Their job nothing less than fulfilling every single request & makes guest happy. Thank you to Mr Jaya, Ms Izzati for checking us in & all Datai crews. Keep up the good work & I'm proud we had such hospitality levelled with other famous luxury resorts in Asia. Facilities are well-maintained with the high-quality woods, surrounded with rich flora & fauna. We spotted hornbill when we were on the room balcony which was brilliant! Little thing to be improved was housekeeping team in making it seamless & smooth, especially with us having baby on board. Turn-down service could be done much earlier rather than 8.30pm, housekeeping/turn-down job could be done when guest was out for breakfast/lunch/dinner, so it's all ready when we are back. This could be achieved by a good communication between concierge & housekeeping team which we have experienced it in some other places. Standards of housekeeping can be improved too, first day water bottles was placed on bedside with a set of tv remote on the bed which was excellent, second day it wasn't. A thrash of empty cracker was on the poolside table since day 1 till we checked out, housekeeper would need to put more effort on the balcony too. Nevertheless, it wasn't a big deal for us & I'd still be coming back to this place soon!

This resort has my heart, albeit being 45 mins away from the airport and Pantai Cenang, the ambience and hospitality this resort has given me can’t be faulted. 10/10. Will definitely be repeating this resort for years to come. Thank you to the Datai team for the wonderful stay.
