Pangkor Laut Resort

First of all the hotel is on an island. So once in the hotel you cannot go out anymore!! For dinner (and also lunch) you have to eat there and very expensive (Europeans prices) My staying was Ok but the armchairs on my balcony very dirty. Also to do some activities , for instance to go snorkeling 280 Ringitt and nothing to see. I would only give 5 stars to the staff. So friendly, helpfull etc.. Curiously they where all strangers (Nepal, Bangladesh, The Philippines...)and of course very low salarys. I think it is better to not support an hotel like that. For me the hotel is worth One star Maria Elisabeth de Nies from France My stay: end November 2024

We had four GLORIOUS days on this beautiful private tropical Island. So elegant yet understated and simple. Smiling helpful effective staff everywhere. Uncle Lim’s had delicious Chinese Malaysian food. Fresh seafood galore. The happy hour cocktails were most enjoyable. The sunset on the cruise was spectacular - enjoyed it with wine and canapés. Informative and fun early morning hike in the jungle led by naturalist Aris. Fine dining at Fishermans Cove was excellent. We stayed in a lovely garden villa an easy walk down the hill to the main part of the resort. Other villas can be quite far away but there are many vans to take you to the different parts of the sprawling resort. Emerald Bay, wow! Truly idyllic. . Crystal clear shallow Waters - lovely sandy beach fringed by jungle clad hills.. I’ve heard the water can sometimes be not so good so do check. But when we were there, it was perfection. General manager Ivy Tan made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The Spa village is exquisite - a few of us had the Balinese package and enjoyed it very much. Guest liaison director Segar Sithambaram was on hand throughout our stay making sure everything went wonderfully. Most of the staff have been there for several years which speaks volumes for this lovely bit of paradise. We can’t wait to go back!

A stunning private island resort off the west coast of Malaysia between KL and Penang. We arranged for private car transfers from KLIA and it was easy, comfortable and seamless, about 3 hours door to door. We went for one of the over water spa villas. Spacious bedroom including comfortable divan and huge bathroom and a balcony looking out to the sea with 2 sun lounges and enough space to roll out the yoga mat (which I did!). The rooms are getting a bit tired but still super comfortable and clean but it is probably time to re-do the bathroom. The shower is over a very deep bath and not the easiest to get into or out of and there is more than ample room to have 2 sinks. What sets Pangkor Laut apart is the staff - warm, welcoming, kind and genuine. We have stayed at many high end places around the world and what we experienced here was very special. The food too was exceptional. Uncle Lim's and Fisherman's Cove were highlights as was the Straits Bar managed by the bartender extraordinaire Tanka. Our special thanks too to Hasan at Feast, Mizan at the Spa Villas Pool and Jeff concierge.

It was an amazing holiday! The service provided by the staff was wonderful. As I had my birthday while at the resort, the staff even sang a birthday song with a cake during dinner, for me. This was very much appreciated. If you are there, don’t miss out on the spa experience, with the bathhouse ritual. This was so unforgettable - and very much up to expectations, as I had remembered, in my first visit some 20 years back. Jungle trail also very well conducted and it’s a must do, during the stay there. Highly recommended!

We had an absolutely amazing 3 night stay at Pangkor Laut Resort! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The nature hike was a highlight, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the breathtaking beauty of the island’s lush rainforest, guided by knowledgeable staff (Fairuz and Mr. Aris) who shared fascinating insights about the local flora and fauna. The crown jewel of our trip was Emerald Bay Beach—a secluded paradise with pristine white sand and crystal-clear waters. The privacy and tranquility were unparalleled, making it feel like we had our own private slice of heaven. Every aspect of the resort exceeded our expectations, from the exceptional service to the luxurious accommodations and delicious cuisine. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, and their warm hospitality made our stay truly special. Shout out to Mages, Vije, Jeff, Ram and all staff at the pool and Uncle Lims bars for making it an amazing experience. The rooms, tennis courts, swimming pools, games room and karaoke room were all very well maintained. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of luxury, nature, and relaxation, Pangkor Laut Resort is the place to be. We can’t wait to return!
