The Datai Langkawi

We couldn't have been happier with our short getaway at the Datai! From the exceptional service and staff, to the wonderful restaurants serving excellent meals and quaint spots to walkabout and simply enjoy the well designed spaces, we absolutely loved all the details of our stay. The beach was very private and exclusive and it was definitely one of our highlights too; plenty of natural elements and wildlife to make our trip extra memorable as well.

The hotel is located in the middle of the jungle, not far from a wide secluded bay. We lived in the rainy forest villa. All the buildings are wonderfully integrated into the surrounding nature. For convenience, you can be taken around the territory on a buggy, we preferred to walk along beautiful winding trails, looking at local animals. There were also various birds, monitor lizards and various monkeys, geckos. The weather at the end of November was pleasant, short showers usually took place in the afternoon or late afternoon, it was pleasantly warm. The wide long beach is perfect for leisurely walks. As an activity, you can take a board, kayak or a small sailboat. The beach is well maintained, people are dispersed so that no one bothers anyone. The water was warm and practically wave-free. The staff is attentive and kind. We ate at home, it was convenient, the staff served the table as if we were in a restaurant. We really liked the privacy of this place, and our recommendations are for everyone who loves nature.

If heaven on earth exists, then it is the Datai Hotel. Everything in this hotel is aimed at making you relax. Free electric buggy from the lobby to the beach and back. Room with a balcony. On the balcony you can enjoy a glass of wine and listen to the forest. The room is very spacious and cozy. Not just cozy but chic. Robes and flip-flops are a whole separate story. And the bathroom itself with bath accessories, with bath salt and handmade soap. In general, emotions are off the charts. Fruits in the room. Every evening a sweet compliment from the chef. Minibar is included in the price. Very friendly and welcoming staff. The hotel staff does everything so that you do not think about anything but just relax. A huge sandy beach with the cleanest sea water. All the sun loungers on the beach are in the shade of the trees, there is no need to move the umbrella all the time. Also on the beach you can take a kayak and swim to the nearest small island. Also on the beach they periodically give out compliments from the hotel in the form of ice cream and fruit. The food in the Malaysian and Indian cuisine restaurant is very tasty. My wife and I ordered two main courses and a salad and ate too much. You can also have a good dinner in the restaurant in the hotel lobby. This was the first hotel in my life from which I did not want to leave the city in the evening or even leave it at all. The hotel is located right inside the forest. Toucans fly around you and wild monkeys jump on the branches. We took a room with a view of the forest and were not disappointed. From a room with a sea view you also look at the pool. For example, I do not really like looking at the pool. Special thanks to the hotel for the fact that after booking the room they told us that we need to fill out the MDAC form. This form allows you to quickly pass passport control through the SART gate without the participation of a border service employee.

Nice resort, even though the age of the place is showing in the rooms. Nice private beach down by the pool and restaurant.
