Pangkor Laut Resort

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.

We had the most amazing holiday in a stunning location. This idyllic, unspoilt island is the perfect place to relax and appreciate all its natural beauty. The rooms were luxurious and blended perfectly in the tropical landscape. The food in all the restaurants was of an extremely high quality while the Fisherman’s Cove was an exceptional fine dining experience. Emerald Bay , the Spa and the guided nature walk were among many unforgettable highlights. All the staff, without exception, were incredibly kind, helpful, friendly and professional - it would be unfair to single any particular individual out. We will absolutely be returning in the future!

Great setting, great concept, beautiful island. All staff were warm and friendly and the resort was generally well kept. Garden view cabin was a good size, comfortable but in need of refurbishment. Food at the Fishermans Cove restaurant was gourmet style and excellent although pricey. The Feast Village has a decent varied menu but the environment needs an upgrade to make it more appealing. Uncle Lims Kitchen serves reasonably priced excellent local cuisine. These are the only choices for evening meals which was a little disappointing albeit sufficient for a 7 night stay. Emerald bay is idyllic, clean, and safe bathing . Chapmans Bar overlooks the bay and is the perfect spot for a late lunch and evening drinks watching the sun go down. The jungle walk along the Southern parameter is an absolute must followed by a visit to the nature conservation centre. Aris and Einstein are both superb guides (and conservationists) who have given their names to oriental hornbills !! Worth a visit to decide who’s the best looking one !! The spa is excellent too. We had a couples treatment which was superb, so thanks to the girls in there for a memorable experience. Finally, a special mention to the restaurant staff who are very engaging and work enormously hard to please. Thank you Shakil, Ram, Shamil, Gagan, Tht, and all your colleagues. If you are a couple looking for a perfect destination to relax and chill out this is definitely the place to be.

The whole island experience is first class.,My villa was on the first floor of a residence divided into The sea view and villa were "paradise island" quality. The vrious restaurants in the resort were excellent And catered for my diet. Emerald Beach reachable by resort buggy is superb for swimming. One is transfered form the mainland and back by private speed boat.

We stay 3 nights at Tropical Garden Villa, which was perfect with kids. Nearest to breakfast area and Buggy service. Room was comfortable, spacious bathroom and big terrace. Resort has one of best beach - Emerald Bay and place is best combination of : beach loungers under big tropical trees where birds sing softly and the warm ocean breeze washes over you, making you relax. And one more best part of beach! In high tide ot low tide You still can enjoy. On sunny day, water very clear and bottom of it plesant and sandy. Food overall all good. We enjoy our breakfast and dinner at chinese restaurant.
