Pangkor Laut Resort

If you are looking for a quiet relaxing resort set in beautiful tropical grounds then this is the place for you. Everyone is so friendly and, honestly, wants to make your stay the best it can be. From the moment you leave the airport you are looked after. The rooms are lovely, we had a sea villa, so falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the waves was fantastic. They were always clean and tidy, like the rest of the resort. We really enjoyed the food on offer with a good variety of authentic dishes. Although, at lunchtime, burgers etc. are available we stuck to the Malaysian food or ate in the fish restaurant. Although it can seem expensive, when booking, when you are there it is value for money. The island itself is private so its only the staff and the guests which makes it so idyllic. We loved our time there and will go back some time in the future.

My wife and I had the most relaxing holiday. Thanks to all the staff of Pangkor Laut Resort. From the pre check in on marina island jetty we were greeted with warmth and genuine smiles. throught out our stay we met the superstars who really took care of us. in Chapmans bar we were greeted by Ram, Sohag and Manoj, they were so attentive to us making sure we were comfortable and always had a drink in hand which i really appreciate. We had dinner over in Feast Village where Ishfael, Suvo, Naem,Sunil, Shakil & Arif who constantly attended to us making sure our water glass is full and always gretting us with a warm smile and friendly chatter. The Spa team is incredible the receptionist Pui Mun started off the splendid experience and we were introduced to Rina and Jivita who were our therapist for the treatment. we had an incredible experience. we also did the culinary experience which included a trip to pangkor island to visit the local fish market, & dried anchovie making process the traditional way with the incredible Chef Joey who had a wealth of knowledge and such a fun person to be around with, then we were taken to a floating fish farm and we caught our own fish for us to cook. on the way back Joey mentioned that the cooking class today will be conducted by the resorts legendary chef kaliamma, who has her name on the menu in chapmans bar for her famous banana leaf. learning from the legend herself reminded me of cooking with my late grandmother. her food and her smile and the overall experice was so special. We were also introduced to sous chef Ruhaimie who made us a special off the menu ikan bilis salad and he makes the best sambal belacan. The hotel also provided us with custom made aprons with our name embroided on them and a certificate of completion which was a nice touch. But all of these experiences stems from the great leadership of the managers like Ravi and Mages who always kept checking in to make sure everything is alright and we also met the man behind the superstar team Mr Segar, after meeting him its no wonder why the team is the way they are, polite, accomodating, a welth of knowledge, jovial and also making sure we felt so so confortable and relaxed throughout our stay. We took the hill view villas, our view was sensational but its a bit of a walk which is good after all the great food we had it was like a perfect way to digest the food. we will definitely visit again. YTL as a group has done great things for the local economy in pangkor by supporting local fishermen, and also rehabilitating turtles and wildlife in the area.

During a recent holiday to Malaysia we spent 2 days:nights at this hotel, for a relaxing beach rest in the middle of a busy vacation itinerary. We arrived with high expectations, after all this is a 5* resort and private island. However, the reality did not meet the expectation. This is our 4th hotel out of 6 on this trip and the 3 before set the standard. Frankly we are disappointed by this hotel. It’s tired, cleanliness is not great, gym equipment is old and past useful use, staff attention is to the point of pestering and first impressions left a lot to be desired when you look at the rubbish under the villas that has not been cleaned up. I appreciate that the island is heavily forested but it is the managements job to ensure the upkeep of the hotel reflects its star rating and this hotel is barely scrapping in as a 5 star. When you’re used to these standards you have a critical eye, and critically this hotel is struggling to meet the standard. The ownership need to secret shop this hotel and do some serious quality checks. In my opinion there is a lot better out there. When your on a private island resort you are commuted to this hotel and the hotel management need to tend to your every 5 star need. This felt like a 4 star experience trying hard but failing. The management and owners can no longer see what’s failing (can’t see the trees for the wood), and need to seriously re-appraise standards, this hotel is failing but by bit - disappointed travellers.

Pangkor Laut Resort is really conveniently located with only 3 hours drive from KL. the atmosphere is so serene with the resort nestled by beautiful coast with the jungle as the backdrop. It was wonderful waking up to the sea view. The room was clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable. Staff were friendly and attentive. Service was amazing, especially by Mages and Mazin. Mazin even remembered us by name. We had really unforgettable experience and lots of fun.

Outstanding service during my wife’s birthday getaway! 🎉❤️ The staff always go the extra mile to make guests feel special. A big shout-out to the Sabahan girl, Michelle, the veteran, Mr. Mages, Israfel, Hassan and Mr. Ravi. 🙌 May God bless you all always. Beautiful resort with truly stunning people! ✨ From one hotelier to another - keep up the great work! 💪
