Pangkor Laut Resort

I’m writing this review and I haven’t even left the Island yet! I was here for 7 days on my way from London to New Zealand. Up front don’t take any notice of any negative reviews on here!! I don’t actually know how anyone could find fault in this property or its people. But then again, some people have to find fault! It’s what they do! I originally booked the Sea Villas but upon arrival I was upgraded (thanks Dian!) to the Sea Spa Villas! Which meant I also had access to the pool (best ever pool) and the facilities on that side of the Island plus I was close to the heavenly spa!) I was looked after very very well by Mizam who managed the area there and he was just the nicest man, nothing was too much trouble! The hotel is very very lucky to have him! I had 3 heavenly spa treatments while I was there, all Balinese for 80 amazing minutes each! As part of your booking you are led through 3 different pre-massage experiences, which were all amazing! The food was supreme, I tried the main restaurant, Uncle Lims (amazing beef rendang and also lovely story about Uncle Lim!) and Fisherman’s Cove which was probably some of the best food (both in taste and presentation) I’ve ever had the luck to try. Breakfast every morning I was greeted to big smiles and by name (?! How they remember I don’t know!!) from Devi and Mr Vaji !!! Also big shout out to Adyana who was the sweetest and so so smiley, funny and kind!! And Aung who always made me laugh and was super helpful!!! The weather at this time of year is to be expected as it’s rainy season but always cleared up and mainly rained late at night and it just added to the tropical feel. Being a solo traveler I felt very safe and well catered for here! The staff were 5 star +++++++++ I think that what really makes this beautiful hotel so special. Final big big big shout out to Darwin! Who went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and taken care of and was just about the nicest person I’ve ever met!! He works so so hard. My only regret is that I didn’t book longer!! My tips! - Stay in the Sea Spa Villas - so luxurious and peaceful and the pool and surroundings are magical!! - You HAVE eat at Fisherman’s Cove it really is something truly special - best cocktails at the Straits bar and not as busy!! And happy hour is 2 for 1!! - have as many spa treatments as you can!!! They are wonderful!!! - keep an eye out for otters!!!!

Our stay at Pangkor Laut Resort was nothing short of magical. Nestled in a hilltop villa with three friends, we were treated to breathtaking views of the surrounding rainforest and azure waters. The staff’s exceptional service made us feel truly pampered, while the diverse culinary offerings delighted our taste buds at every meal. The resort’s natural beauty is awe-inspiring, with Emerald Bay’s pristine beach being a particular highlight. The Spa Village provided incredibly rejuvenating treatments, adding to the overall sense of luxury and relaxation. From jungle treks to sunset cruises, there was no shortage of activities to enjoy. Pangkor Laut Resort offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, world-class amenities, and impeccable service, making it an unforgettable private island getaway.

This is a heavenly resort on a private jungle-clad island. There’s quite a lot of wildlife including many beautiful Oriental Pied Hornbills, Sea Eagles and Fruit bats. You can do a jungle walk with one of the fully qualified conservation staff. The food offerings are excellent with high quality restaurants and also a lovely beach bar. The spa is quite special too and has its own 50m swimming pool. For us the stand-out thing about the hotel is the staff, who were extremely welcoming and could not have been more helpful. Hence the five star review.

This place is the most beautiful resort island and should be a luxury 6- Star rated We were there 17 years ago with our daughter and returned this year alone as a couple. The island had not changed, this is good. It was still every bit as stunning as we remembered it. Special beyond belief, the days are as beautiful and hot as you dream, they will be. Only this time we got to experience the Spa side also. Our daughter was only 9 when we were here before so too young for the spa side of the resort. The views are breathtaking, the sunset romantic and the service undeniably the best in the world that I have been privileged to be around. We stayed for 10 nights in a jungle villa, The accommodation is superb, clean and fresh. The service of the rooms is incredible. Made up in the morning and turned down in the evening and we never saw a single person tending to this. Maybe it was by design. Although all the staff were amazing people, I want to give a special note to Segar, Mages, Tanka, Asan, Gagan and the young man that cooked our Omakase Teppan meal (I will call him D) we appreciated every one of you. It was the whole team that made our stay just perfect. Segar - A fountain of knowledge, always smiling and nothing is ever too small to arrange. Always chatting and making sure we have everything to make our holiday amazing. T. Mages - Again a fountain or knowledge with so many years behind him, always there to talk with us, advise us and arrange every little thing to make our PLR holiday fantastic Tanka - Always smiling and happy. Very attentive with our Gin & Tonics at happy hour. Asan - Whether it was breakfast, or dinner he was very happy to recommend food to us from the restaurants, especially the dancing Prawns at Fishermans Cove, or the Makanan Laut bersambal baker at Chapmans bar. He was always very helpful Gagan - Gagan was lovely and if I could have given this man an award I would. He was always happy and very sweet with everyone. He worked hard and chatted with everyone. We would see him at breakfast making juice and various other things, then at lunch and throughout the day at the RBBC, and then again at Dinner at Fisherman's Cove. When by the pool he would come over to see if we needed anything and of course he was full of compliments, and as a woman on the wrong side of 45 racing to 50, this is always a cheerful thing to have. D - the young man that did our Omakase Teppan meal. I did not remember his name. This is a very skilled man. His cooking, his energy, his smile. He was an amazing chef. We will be back again in 10 years' time with our families, but we know that we will see new staff as Family and Health are the most important things in life and you miss your families. Much love and memories Gina and Jason Spencer

Amazing… I cannot praise the staff enough, the customer service is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble, they always have a smile and are polite at all times. The facilities are wonderful I am unsure of what more to say, other than I would highly recommend
