Pangkor Laut Resort

To anyone yang cari tempat for honeymoon, holiday or any leisure, tolong plih PLR ! Their hospitality are beyond expectation. Just come back from honeymoon with my wife & we feel so welcome & happy with their services & hospitality. Tempat pun punya la cantik sampai tak nak balik. Again thank you PLR !

My daughter and I had the holiday of our dreams at Pangkor Laut. The biggest strength this resort island has are its incredible staff, nothing was too much trouble. They knew our names and room number at all times and greeted us with friendship and kindness. Milan at Jamu bar kept us hydrated with lemon water and amazing smoothies and Sunil made sure our every need was catered for at meal times. The villa itself was plotless and the team had thought of everything from extra pillows to insect repellant and balm for bites although the resort must mist I think as neither of us were bitten once. The team over at Emerald beach served us amazing cocktails and a few giggles while watching the incredible sunsets. Spa village delivered the most incredible spa experience at excellent value for money. All in all an amazing experience, we will be back as soon as we’ve saved our pennies! Thank you so much to the whole team.

We visited Pangkor Laut Resort 20 years ago, on our honeymoon, and returned this year with our teenage daughters. I’m thrilled to say, it has lived up to our remembered experience and delivered a phenomenal holiday treat for all of us. This time we indulged in a spa treatment: the girls and my husband went for the Balinese massage by the beach, whilst I tried out the Swedish massage. All were spectacular, thoroughly relaxing, and further enhanced by the complimentary bath house experience (45 mins) beforehand. We nicknamed the experience Zen Day, as we all felt completely refreshed and relaxed afterwards. Throughout the stay, the staff have been exceptionally helpful and welcoming; it is no exaggeration to say they go out of their way to ensure your stay with them is memorable for all the right reasons. In fact, on our last night we were invited to a complimentary drinks and canapés gathering, where we had the opportunity to find out more about the history of the resort and chat with some of the mangers, one of whom deserves a particular mention: Darwin - catering and beverages manager. Not only was he incredibly welcoming and friendly from the moment we arrived, but also great company and a fabulous host. A true asset to any team. We chose the Hill villas as accommodation during our stay, which were beautifully laid out, kept clean and as bug free as possible, given they are situated amongst the trees in the rainforest. Upon arrival we were greeted with sweet treats and fresh water bottles were replenished daily. The notorious ‘cheeky’ monkeys made regular appearances on our walk to breakfast each morning and the Horn-bills watched from a distance, hopeful for any forgotten morsels; though staff ensured they didn’t overstep the mark and were shoed away when they became too brazen. Which leads me on to the quality of the food. We chose the full-board option, which we felt was very good value. The breakfast options in the Feast village - buffet style - were exceptional and even included a ‘make your own freshly squeezed’ juice station. Uncle Lim’s, which serves freshly prepared Chinese food, is a great choice for the evening, though our highlight was The Fisherman’s Cove, which has a spectacular setting, outstanding food (both fish and meat), great wines and, as ever, expert staff. For a really special holiday experience, we would, unquestionably, recommend Pangkor Laut Resort, for couples and families alike.

A really lovely resort with the most friendly staff. We stayed in the Sea Villas and enjoyed being a little further away from the main pool and village, but not as far as the Spa Villas. The villas could use a bit of an update (which we were told was planned for this summer) but we were perfectly comfortable although the air conditioner was a little wonky. Service was exceptional. Everyone remembered our names and greeted us personally. Special thanks to Dian, Segar, Ramesh, Ram, Gagan, and Vijae. We had the meal plan so three meals a day. The breakfast buffet was enormous and had such a wide range of choices from more traditional western fare (eggs, yogurt and fruit, pasteries) to lots of asian options (noodle soup, stir fried noodles and rice, etc). You could even pick your own ingredients for juicing. We enjoyed going out to Emerald Bay for the afternoon, the only real beach on the island. We would lunch at Chapman's Bar on the beach then grab some chaise lounges and spend a leisurely afternoon swimming and reading. Don't expect to snorkel on the island. You really need to go to the islands off eastern Malaysia for that. Our favorite dinner venue was Uncle Lim's, by far! The Hong Kong style steamed sea bass was especially divine. The spa experience was amazing. We highly recommend this. We each booked a simple 50 minute message, so we thought. It turned out to be more like a 2 hour experience with a foot scrub, cold pool, aromatherapy facial steam, warm pool, and body scrub, all before the message! When you book a spa treatment, you get to use the spa pool for the day (adult only, which is nice). We also went on the Jungle hike one morning. Our local guide was fabulous and funny (I wish I could remember his name). We recommend this as well but be prepared for lots of mosquitos. Definitely put lots of repelent on before you go. There's a gym but the equipement definitely needs some updating as does the air conditioning in this space. Overall, we had a great time. We stayed for 5 nights (4-5 nights is about all you need).

I just don’t understand some of the previous negative reviews I’ve read about this place. If you’re in any doubt all I would say is GO. Pangkor Laut Resort is stunning! So beautiful and the food is out of this world especially at Fisherman’s Cove! The staff are so professional yet friendly and so very helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. We’ve traveled the world and I can honestly say the pool at the Spa was one in the best we’ve ever been in. A fantastic week’s stay ❤️
