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
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.
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.
Fantastic stay for our honeymoon. We can’t wait to return

Hotel and grounds are amazing and the beach is spotless. The staff are there for your every need. From room services to staff on the beach treating you to an ice cream. Enjoyed every moment at the datai
Outstanding Resort with one of the best beaches I have ever been too. Superb stuff and excellent food. While not a family resort, our 4 year old twin boys loved it and I can highly recommend it
The property offers exactly what is expected of a premium 5 star deluxe resort. Also, situation on Datai Bay is totally unique and beautiful. Would stay here again.
Everything was just amazing: location, facilities, service, nature, food, weather (notwithstanding wet season!!), sea. We’ve had the best holiday ever!
This is an incredible hotel where nature and real luxury go hand in hand. Staff are trained to be hosts and work really hard to give you the best experience. The food, surroundings and service are definitely 5*.
