Excellent hotel for relaxation. The staff is very friendly and professional. We have words of special thanks to Anika who arranged for our sons, who were not able to stay in the hotel due to room unavailability, to join us at the hotel and using all it’s facilities. We had a great family time relaxing at the beautiful beach and splendid pools. Wonderful place to stay in Langawi.
An Exceptional and Unforgettable Stay
Our stay at The Datai Langkawi was truly exceptional and one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Malaysia. The breathtaking rainforest setting, beautiful beach, excellent dining and wonderful spa are all remarkable, but what truly distinguishes The Datai is the extraordinary level of hospitality.
We are especially grateful to the General Manager, whose personal attention, generosity and genuine care made our stay incredibly special. Taking the time to meet with us personally and ensuring that we felt truly welcomed and valued reflected an exceptional level of hospitality and leadership.
We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to the management team and the wonderful team members at the Nature Centre and Spa. Their warmth, professionalism and thoughtful attention added greatly to our experience.
Our thanks extend to everyone we encountered, including housekeeping, concierge, restaurants, transportation, spa and activity teams. Throughout our stay, we consistently experienced kindness, professionalism and genuine hospitality.
We arrived expecting a beautiful luxury resort, but left with wonderful memories and genuine affection for The Datai and its people. It is a truly special place, and we sincerely hope to return.
Five stars, wholeheartedly and without hesitation.
A truly wonderful experience
The airport pick up and check in process was excellent, they also helped organise a lovely surprise for my fiancés birthday
The set up of the resort within the rainforest is incredible with nature everywhere. We stayed in a rainforest cabin and it was fabulous

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in worldwide. Spectacular setting and beautiful beach; rainforest villas in the heart of the jungle with copious wildlife (macaques, dusky leaf monkeys, monitor lizards, great hornbills, otters swimming in the sea, butterflies...); outstanding and really friendly service; excellent food. There is very little not to like about this outstanding hotel in an outstanding location.
The best hotel we stayed so far..excellent and attentive staff from check in until we check out. The room is very nice and spacious. My son love the bathtub. Delicious food at gulai restaurant. The breakfast was great. Sad to leave the hotel, hopefully we"ll come back soon
I have already used it more than 10 times, but I was satisfied with the friendly hospitality of the staff. I would like you to add a soup menu for breakfast.
Our birthday stay at The Datai Langkawi was nothing short of exceptional. This resort truly offers the perfect blend of luxury and nature immersion that's rare to find.
The natural surroundings are absolutely spectacular. We were enchanted by the resident butterflies fluttering through the lush rainforest canopy—it felt like stepping into a nature documentary. The beach is pristine and peaceful, offering a secluded slice of paradise that made us feel worlds away from everyday life.
The Nature Centre deserves special mention. It provided fascinating insights into the local ecosystem and rainforest, adding an educational dimension to our stay that we didn't expect but thoroughly appreciated. The staff there were knowledgeable and passionate about conservation.
As golf enthusiasts, we were thrilled with the golf course. Playing surrounded by such stunning tropical scenery elevated the entire experience. The course is well-maintained and offers both a challenge and breathtaking views.
Throughout our stay, the resort struck the perfect balance between luxury amenities and respect for the natural environment. The Datai Langkawi isn't just a hotel—it's an experience that reconnects you with nature while pampering you in comfort.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking a truly special getaway in Langkawi.
Rainforest immersion as well as excellent beachfront and private bay
Variety and excellence in food
Excellant staff + Service
Upkeep is a battle due to the wonderful 'Materiality' ....yet this keeps the charm of natural materials and a low key aura which is in keeping with the resorts concepts
