Pangkor Laut Resort

Calls itself "luxury" but isn't (can't be expected at that price), sea villa nice but average. If you imagine to dive into the sea from such a villa: you can’t. A whole island but only one little beach were you can swim in the sea. Resort was not half full when we were there (nine nights), but already then not enough sunbeds by the beach. Beach however is beautifully tropical. As it is an island you don't get away but at extra costs - but where to? Food is average and expensive for Asia (we compare to Thailand). No bar life, cocktails below average at almost European prices. Service people are very friendly, most of them Bangladeshi, some Nepalees and Balinese.

The worst Luxury Hotel ever , met at boat and the greater walked away with first 2 to unboard found our own way but sat for ages and host rushed through their map with no information on trips or times shuttles finished. rude reception staff. Catching a shuttle was a jokre often 30 minutr plus wait. Bteakfast no glasses for juice, slow topping up fruit. Staff are overworked and although waiting staff in the a la carte bars and resteraunts are good. Fishermans Cove 5 dtar was the best part of the holidayVery Dissapointed not a Luxury Hotel 3 star at best.

Absolutely amazing! Wonderful staff, good food, great resort!

Wonderful resort to stay in: excellent facilities and spectacular rooms (we were in the hilltop villas). The whole ambiance is luxurious, stylishly understated and relaxing. It is a wonderful place to switch off. However, the standout is the staff who take making guests welcome to the next level. We dined in two of the restaurants, both excellent. I particularly liked the “new” Uncle Lim’s Kitchen. Very saddened to depart

We stayed at Pangkor Laut Resort with our adult son for 7 nights, a Sea Villa and a Garden Villa. We were on the residents full board package and therefore the only additional cost was drinks. The happy hour at 2 of the bars was taken advantage of. From being collected at our hotel in Kuala Lumpur at the beginning of the trip to being driven to Penang at the end, a wonderful and seamless experience. The villas are excellent, very good sized, great bathrooms, very comfortable. The terrace areas with sun loungers were also very comfortable. The pool was very large, clean. Plenty of sun beds. An easy to call buggy service to the beach area. Staff were all very helpful, incredibly happy and knowledgeable. The breakfast buffet was very good. We ate at the BBQ restaurant by the pool at lunchtime, really good, great choice of well prepared food. Our 7 evening meals were split between Mr Lims and Fishermans Cove. The former was good, the latter truly excellent with a fantastic choice of fish. Our only criticism was the fitness centre which has poor air conditioning and very aged equipment. We were assured that this is due a major refurbishment in the short term, it really needs it.
