The Datai Langkawi

The Datai is truly a rare gem in the hospitality industry. This is my second visit, and while it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what I love most about this place, I can say that I feel completely at ease the moment I step onto the property. Despite being over 30 years old, the resort continues to shine in its own unique way. The service here surpasses that of many top-tier hotels around the world—warm, sincere, and sophisticated—a true reflection of Malaysian hospitality at its finest. I was amazed to learn that many of the staff have been with the hotel for 20 to 30 years. They are the true treasures of this property. There are countless things to fall in love with here: rooms tucked away in the lush forest, the friendly buggy rides in the morning, sunglasses polishing by the beach—the list goes on. There’s simply so much to love and enjoy. You could easily spend a week—or even longer—here without ever feeling out of place. The Datai is truly one of a kind; please keep it that way and continue to shine.

Excellent. More than a five star experience in a stunning setting, with wonderful staff and all the amenities you can dream of. All the restaurants are world-class. We enjoyed the water sports, spa treatments, both pools and the beach are idyllic. The service was incredibly attentive and the rooms perfect. Overall, an incredibly exclusive, serene treat of a stay.

The service was indeed beyond extraordinary and excellent.. The private beach was quiet, and they have activities to keep you active. The pool, the restaurants, the forest, I love all of them! One thing that I like was the fast response from the team. One hour after my booking, they already sent the confirmation with the welcome email and instruction. I have stayed in other five stars hotel and rarely I get this. Enjoyed my stay for sure, these were just some of the pics taken. will come back again for sure. You get what you paid.. Thanks for the hospitality Datai!!

My recent stay at The Datai Langkawi was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a seamless and pleasant check-in experience, complete with refreshing welcome drinks as we effortlessly received our room key. A lovely and unique touch was the personalized room tour, something that is quite rare and truly set the tone for the exceptional attention to detail that followed. The room itself was a haven of luxury, made even better by the thoughtful daily refills of the room fridge, ensuring we were always comfortable. Dining at The Datai was a culinary delight, with fantastic restaurants offering delicious meals that satisfied every craving. One of the standout features was the beach—flat, serene, and absolutely perfect for long, relaxing walks. But what truly elevated our experience was the impeccable service from the staff. They addressed us by name, were always attentive to our needs, and went above and beyond at every turn. Whether it was changing our beach towels without us having to ask or preparing lounge chairs for our family, they anticipated every detail with grace and professionalism. Our stay at The Datai was an unforgettable experience of luxury, relaxation, and unparalleled service. We will definitely be returning!
