5-Star Hotels in Kedah, Malaysia

1. Slow check in process by the staff who had assisted me as compared to my friend’s. Though I have 3 rooms to check in but was asked with lots of questions and the whole process took me at least 30mins? - not sure if this is normal. 2. Cleanliness of the room was horrific for a Google 5-star hotel. Mentioning the worst - Insect carcasses was noted at a corner of the living room on the check in day as shown in the picture. It was still there even after room service. 3. Cash left on the dining table when missing after returning to room at night. Believe it was assumed as ‘tips’ after room service? Tips for not cleaning insect carcasses? 4. The kitchen sink was clogged again despite the first repair. 5. 2 out of 4 toothbrush kits were opened with missing toothpaste on the check in day. Out of so many bads, at least I’m glad that the guards over there were friendly.

I had a wonderful stay at Park Royal Langkawi Resort with my family. The room was spotless, and the entire property was beautifully maintained. We had a stunning ocean view from our room, which made the stay even more special. The staff were exceptionally friendly, approachable, and always ready to help with a smile. My son especially loved the swimming pool and the activity room. All of us had an amazing time! The resort’s amenities were excellent and really added to the overall experience. Highly recommend for a relaxing and family-friendly getaway.

This was hands down the most satisfying hotel of our trip to Malaysia, and my friends were equally impressed. The service was impeccable, and the amenities were top-notch. Our rooms were individual wooden chalets, which made them incredibly quiet, and the surroundings were absolutely beautiful. Our sea-view room opened directly onto the ocean; it was bright, spacious, and had a generously sized bathroom. Each independent chalet comprised multiple rooms. They provided four complimentary bottles of water, with more available upon request. The hotel also offered free yoga classes. Unfortunately, we only stayed for two nights and didn't get to experience many of the facilities. Breakfast at the hotel was excellent, with two restaurants offering different cuisines. The Asian restaurant had tastier food, but the American restaurant boasted unparalleled views, being right by the sea and allowing you to enjoy breakfast facing the ocean. I couldn't resist the shrimp noodles at the Asian restaurant, so I ended up eating there for both days. The hotel features two very clean swimming pools, a beautiful artificial lake, and various other recreational facilities. Water sports bookings were available right next to the hotel, including banana boat rides and jet skiing. Next time, I'll definitely come just to relax and fully enjoy the hotel's offerings.

We booked the 2 bedroom suite which was beautiful and very spacious with a large balcony wrapping the entire suite. Unfortunately they were carrying out repair works on the room above us when we arrived, hence we were upgraded to the 2 bedroom garden villa after the 2nd night. The only drawback was that the entire resort is somewhat dated, the 2 bedroom garden villa was also dated. Breakfast was very good with a fantastic roti cannai station. The room service at night left much to be desired however, we ordered the roti cannai, beef burger, fried kway tiao, nasi lemak and satay, all were not nice. The day time kitchen seems better than the night, we ordered the chicken noodles which was very good. Pictures are of the garden villa. Did not manage to take pictures of the suite in time.

I have just returned from a truly wonderful stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Langkawi, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in luxury. The facilities are absolutely excellent—from the stunning pools to the beautifully appointed room, every detail was perfect. And the view! Waking up to that breathtaking vista of the Andaman Sea was really awesome and something we will never forget. What truly made our stay exceptional, however, was the staff. Every single team member we encountered was so helpful, friendly, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring we had a perfect experience. We would like to give a special mention to Asri at the Beach Grill. He is such a nice and wonderful person. We felt so comfortable and grateful to talk with him; his service went far beyond just taking our order. He shared so many funny stories and insights about Langkawi, its culture, and its beautiful nature. He has a fantastic sense of humour and a real passion for the island, which made our meals there not just delicious, but truly memorable. He is a real asset to the hotel. Thank you to Asri and the entire team for making our vacation so special. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and we are planning to return hotel soon.

Just got back from The St. Regis Langkawi, and honestly, it’s one of those places that hits the sweet spot between laid-back island vibes and proper luxury. If you’re looking to unwind in peace, be spoiled a little, and enjoy the view, this place gets it right. It’s only a short drive from Kuah town, but once you’re inside the resort, it feels totally private and peaceful. Surrounded by rainforest and facing the sea. It’s the kind of place where you immediately slow down and breathe easier. We stayed in the Premier Rainforest Suite with a private pool, and wow pure comfort. The space was huge, the bed felt like a cloud, and chilling in the pool with forest views? Perfect. It’s modern with a nice local touch, classy without trying too hard. Breakfast was great with lots of variety. Kayuputi, the overwater restaurant, is definitely worth booking at sunset, stunning view and solid food. Even late-night room service (yes, we ordered nasi lemak at midnight) hit the spot. Pricey, but expected for a resort like this. This is where they really shine. From butlers who unpack your luggage to staff who remember how you take your coffee The attention to detail is impressive, and everyone we met was genuinely friendly and warm. The infinity pool overlooking the sea is such a chill spot, especially in the evening. The spa’s a bit of a splurge but great if you want to treat yourself. There’s a gym too, and the beach is clean and quiet, not ideal for swimming, but great for morning walk. The St. Regis Langkawi is the kind of place you go to when you want to relax, recharge, and feel taken care of. Whether it’s for a romantic escape or just to get away from the noise, it delivers big time. Would I go again? 100%. But next time, I’m staying longer.

This was our fourth stay at The Datai Langkawi, and it just keeps getting better! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with incredible service and hospitality. The resort's setting is simply breathtaking, nestled in the lush rainforest and right by the beach. Breakfast: One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast. The variety of delicious options available was impressive, catering to every taste. From fresh tropical fruits to local specialties, everything was exceptionally tasty. We loved starting our day with such a wonderful spread! Rooms: The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views from our room were stunning, and it was a joy to relax in such a peaceful environment. Family Activities: The resort offers a wide range of activities for families, ensuring there’s never a dull moment. Our kids had a blast exploring, and there were plenty of options for relaxation and fun. Overall, our experience at The Datai Langkawi was nothing short of perfect. The combination of delicious breakfast, beautiful rooms, and exceptional service makes it an ideal getaway for families. We can’t wait for our next visit!

Overall I had a very nice stay here, their staffs were very helpful and attentive. The resort is a bit secluded but understandable since they have private beach. Remember to arrange ur transportation like renting a car earlier. The Grab price from resorts to other locations are very expensive. And I don’t suggest renting motorcycles coz at night the road that lead to the resort is very dark and eerie I must say haha. The beach was clean, our room was so big and we can turn the tv to our bedside haha! Lotsss of electric plugs. Movies options was a lot. Facilities are also a lot. Bath tub has bath salt okayy yall! The swimming pool near their cafe is a bit scary though coz it’s really deep like head level deep with no life guard on duty. The price of their foods & drinks were definitely on the higher price side. But we didn’t mind coz there was a night market on Friday just 9mins from the resort. The downside is the rooms that are not ocean view don’t have an elevator so it can be tiring to go up and down. They have quite a lot of breakfast options, but the taste are only so so. But i did enjoy my stay here! 🩷

It’s okay. Lack of food choices due to low occupancy and food that are available are not as good as priced even for basic local food. Some staff members don’t really look like they want to be there but others do make up for it. Service is slow even though occupancy is low too.

This resort is big and beautiful, immersed in nature and their service is excellent. ( please forgive me if I have butchered the names or spelled them wrong) Faraaz was welcoming and informative upon check in, I came in early to check in and he made sure to find me so that I can check in my room a little before 3 pm. The surroundings are lovely, the resort hugs the mountains and is surrounded by lush green. There’s many activities that you can do within the resort, as well as the skybridge and oriental village a stone throw away ( you can get a one way shuttle courtesy of resort. The room itself was old but the housekeeping staff does an excellent job because it was clean, there’s no sewer smells and the bed is cosy. The only issue I have is that of the gaps which lets geckos in, a huge one made it’s home in the bathroom, thumbs up to front desk service which is open and the security came late at night to help find it but it had hidden. The next day I saw one come through the gap in the door, ( there is a brush at the bottom but doesn’t fit until the end) I clapped my hands wildly to chase it back out. Perhaps provide a door draft stopper, I just used the towels to fill in gaps as a makeshift one. However I know it is a resort surrounded by nature and these creatures will find a way. Breakfast was excellent, I have to says the breakfast staff is the hardest working team I have ever seen in all my travels. Not only do they have to greet and seat, but they also accommodate late breakfast comers who come after the allotted breakfast time and wait until they finish a lazy breakfast. The food here is delicious. It was a lovely stay. Ps. Don’t forget to make a reservation in advance for Phan Thai, I recommend at 6:30, it’s not busy yet and you can take pics and enjoy the beautiful sky dimming into glorious colors. It starts to get really busy at around 7:40 ( it’s still bright out) .
