Pangkor Laut Resort

THT was an amazing person in the crew. I so much enjoyed the experience. Simply magnificent.

We’ve certainly found paradise! My husband and I booked five days here after travelling to Kuala Lumpur and Penang and thought this may be the perfect place to relax before heading back home! We were not disappointed, from the moment the luxury car picked us up from the hotel in George Town we knew that we were in for a luxurious, relaxing holiday! Pangkor Laut exceeded all of our expectations! We had had a glimpse of Malaysian hospitality in George Town but nothing to the level we found here. Everyone made us feel welcome right from the beginning. The staff are truly amazing everyone greets you with a warm smile no matter their role on the island. After a smooth check-in we had time to explore the island before our room was ready so we decided to head down to Champma’s bar for our lunch not realising it was on the beach so you can imagine how delighted we were to have our first meal in the most stunning surroundings, Emerald Bay! Wow! The menu is written on a chalkboard which is brought over by your friendly waiter to read in comfort. Each meal is explained to you if you’re unsure of what they are. I decided to give the banana leaf curry ago as I’d heard it’s a must whilst in Malaysia. I wasn’t disappointed it not only tasted amazing but it was also a great experience as it’s built up on your plate in front of you! We had the pleasure of Ram and Suvo serving us and they were absolutely amazing and adorable. They were friendly, attentive and had a great sense of humour, they will certainly be missed as they looked after us so well during the rest of our stay. After being shown our beautiful spa villa that we called home for five days which is absolutely breathtaking by the way, we then went to have a refreshing dip in the spa pool which is absolutely gorgeous! It’s spotlessly clean and well looked after and this is where we met the absolute diamond of the resort Apon! You can see him sparkling as you approach! You are greeted with his warm welcoming smile and he can’t do enough to make you feel relaxed and comfortable around the pool. It really was hard to say goodbye to him, he made us feel like VIP’s and is a real credit to the resort! We were lucky enough to try all of the restaurants during our stay and the wonderful service was felt throughout each one, it’s difficult to find a favourite but for us Fisherman’s Cove slightly stole top spot, everything about it was just perfect so much so we decided to have our last evening there! I could go on and on about how amazing this place really is from the jungle walk, the amazing animals you encounter, that beautiful beach and the emerald sea but what really makes it special are the people who welcome you and I can’t leave a review without mentioning our wonderful James who made sure our stay on Pangkor Laut was truly wonderful and thanks to him and the rest of his team we’ve made memories that will last for a lifetime! So thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We hope to return one day and can see why a couple we met there have been coming every year for twenty years!

We had a wonderful stay at Pangkor Laut Resort, and one of the biggest highlights was definitely the exceptional service from the staff. I booked myself in sea villa. View was spectacular,be it at balcony or from the bath tub - facing the sea. Room was very clean and bed was fluffy and comfortable. We love it so much that we are back after two months. A special compliment to Michael and the team at Fisherman’s Cove. They were incredibly friendly, attentive and welcoming, and really made our chill out and lunch experience memorable. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail made us feel very well taken care of. I would also like to especially mention Manager Mages at the breakfast restaurant, who was always warm, professional and attentive, and made every morning such a pleasant experience. Another special mention goes to Harlem at the Front Desk. Harlem was extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating, and always made sure that our requests were attended to promptly. His warm and welcoming attitude really added to the overall experience. In fact, throughout the resort, we found almost all the staff to be genuinely friendly, helpful and eager to assist. It is quite rare to experience such consistent hospitality across an entire resort, and it really made a difference to our stay. Pangkor Laut is undoubtedly a beautiful resort, but it is the people and their hospitality that make the experience truly special. Thank you Michael, Mages, Harlem and the entire Pangkor Laut Resort team for making our stay so memorable. We will definitely remember the wonderful hospitality! ❤️

Pangkor Laut Resort — Honeymoon Review Heard from those who came that this was paradise but actually coming here left us completely blown away. My wife and I spent our honeymoon here and it's safe to say we're already planning to come back. The island itself is stunning in a way that feels almost unfair. Emerald Bay is actually emerald — like genuinely green water, not the filtered kind. We stayed in an above-water chalet and were half-expecting it to smell like low tide. Didn't at all. The island is incredibly well-kept without feeling like it's been over-developed, and the hornbills are everywhere and completely unashamed about it — one stole our fries at Royal Bay. Cannot even be angry as they were so cute! The service though — this was the real thing. The moment we arrived, we were well briefed by Raihan and Dian. We were so lucky to find out that they gave us a complimentary upgrade from hill villa to spa villa without us asking. Every single staff member remembered our names, our room number, what activities we had booked. Every one. It sounds like a small thing until it keeps happening and you realise it's the culture of the whole place. What we didn't expect was how much we'd enjoy just talking to the staff. Many of them have such incredible stories — came from far, worked at properties like The Majestic and Ritz-Carlton, some with hospitality degrees. Built real lives here. Those conversations honestly became some of our favourite memories from the trip. Credit where it's due — you can tell GM Mr. Ong runs a tight but genuinely warm ship. He even blessed us with a bottle of white wine as newlyweds. Very touched! Food is pricey, not going to lie, but worth it. The teppan-omakase with Chef Devraj and hosted by Santosh — go. Just go. Arrive on time (Mr. Mages' advice, and good advice it was). Robin at Chapman Bar made us feel very welcome and the burger there is no joke. Breakfast buffet every morning was a joy, shoutout to Mr. Mages, Isfaril, Mizan and Sohag for making it feel like a proper makan experience and not just hotel breakfast. Michael at Royal Bay was super friendly. And Santosh's teh tarik at the pasar malam — simple but somehow the most memorable drink of the whole trip. First time doing a traditional Malay spa here too. Should have done it earlier in life! If you're celebrating something that matters, this is the place. It's not just a resort — it's the people. We came as newlyweds and left feeling like family.

Beautiful resort located on private island with great staff and stunning sunset cruise
