Romantic Hotels in Kedah, Malaysia

The hotel itself is well located and has a certain charm. The furniture is quite old, but in a way it adds character to the place. The staff we interacted with were generally kind and polite. However, we had a very upsetting experience with the Ramadan buffet restaurant. We arrived at the hotel around 6:00 PM after a long day of travel with two flights (Phuket to Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi). My mother had been fasting all day for Ramadan and had not eaten or drunk anything. When we saw that the restaurant was preparing the Ramadan buffet, my mother sat down hoping to break her fast there. Unfortunately we were refused and told that reservations had to be made one day in advance. This was very surprising for us, as we had just arrived in the country and could not possibly have reserved the day before. We were directed to another nearby restaurant, but after waiting more than one hour we still had not received any food. During that time my mother — who had been fasting all day — still had nothing to eat, and my two-year-old child was crying because he was hungry. In the end, my mother was only able to eat about two hours after the time of breaking the fast. Aside from this very difficult experience, the hotel itself is pleasant and the staff are friendly. However, I hope the management will consider being more flexible and understanding in situations like this, especially for guests observing Ramadan and families traveling with young children.

This hotel seems to be an older establishment with decent facilities. The rooms are quite spacious, and the infinity pool on the rooftop is beautiful, probably the best spot around for a high-up view. On the downside: 1. There's virtually no room service, apart from changing two towels. 2. The hot water pressure is very low and it's not very hot, though thankfully it's a tropical climate. 3. The breakfast selection is poor, with very few options, and nothing I really enjoyed.

The hotel is beautiful, calm, and clean...perfect for total relaxation. Friendly staff, stunning pool, and peaceful vibe. The location is a bit inconvenient: it's up on a hill, so you need a car every time you arrive or leave. No fridge in the room, noticeable lack of privacy (the layout surrounds the central pool like a theater/amphitheater, with rooms openly overlooking the pool area from all sides), and due to the shape, parts of the hotel are shaded by the surrounding buildings for half the day, limiting sun exposure. Perfect if you want to disconnect and unwind; not great for frequent beach trips, full privacy, or all-day sunshine. I loved my days here. Pure relax.

Overall, our stay at Pelangi Beach Resort in Langkawi was pleasant, but it did not fully meet the expectations of a five-star property, especially considering the price. The resort itself is beautiful in terms of location: the gardens are well maintained, and the beachfront is very enjoyable. However, the structure is starting to feel a bit dated and could benefit from some refurbishment. Our main disappointment was the room condition. The curtain next to the air conditioning unit was in very poor shape—stained and almost moldy—which was quite off-putting. The air conditioning system itself seemed old, very noisy, and difficult to regulate, making it hard to find a comfortable temperature (either too cold or too warm). On a positive note, the staff was truly outstanding—everyone was kind, welcoming, and extremely helpful throughout our stay. Service is definitely a strong point of this resort. Breakfast was also enjoyable, particularly at the Malaysian restaurant, where the food quality felt more authentic and satisfying. In conclusion, while the experience was overall good, the resort feels somewhat overpriced for what it currently offers. With some improvements and updates, it could truly match its five-star positioning. At this price point, however, we would probably consider other options next time.

Great value for money. The hotel seems to be an older property that's been renovated. Some facilities (like the bathroom) are a bit basic, but overall it's clean and functional. The staff are super friendly, and it's really convenient for getting to the beach and restaurants.

Hotel is 15 floors. Check in to room with sea view on 11th floor - big, clean carpeted, separate shower and tub. Lobby pretty big with restaurant, meeting room, tour guide and a bistro. Welcome drink is a choice of fruit juice or beer at bistro. Also included is a high tea voucher for following day. Took a short walk and found a variety of different food places around - malay, Indian, Korean, Japanese and a tze char joint as well. A lot of different varieties of shops and duty free shops as Langkawi is a duty-free island where alcohol is cheaper than soft drinks. Many seafood joints around within 0.6 to 14 km radius.

This resort-style hotel truly embodies a Southeast Asian vibe, boasting beautiful pools and a garden with stunning scenery, where squirrels 🐿️ and birds leisurely forage on the lawn. Although the room facilities are a bit dated, they are still clean and tidy. On our first day, we noticed the bathroom sink wasn't draining properly, and after reporting it to the front desk, someone was sent to fix it immediately. Watching the sunset from a lounge chair on the hotel's beach in the evening was the most enjoyable part of the day. There are quite a few restaurants around the hotel, and while it's not as bustling as Cenang Beach, it's perfect for travelers seeking peace and quiet. (Even if you want to go to Cenang Beach, it's very close – about a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute taxi ride). Highly, highly recommended for those on a budget who want to experience authentic Southeast Asian charm! 👍🏖️🌴🌴

I booked a 2-night stay with my Mrs in one of the villas connected to the shared pool, and our experience started off on a great note. We were picked up from the airport in a very comfortable Toyota Alphard arranged by the resort. Our driver and resort staff, Khai, was incredibly friendly—he patiently answered all my questions and gave us fantastic food recommendations since it was my first time in LGK. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by Daniel at the lobby. He served us beautifully presented lemon peach teas as a welcome drink and brought us through the entire check-in process. While waiting for our villa to be ready, we had lunch at the resort’s only restaurant. Unfortunately, this was the only part of the stay that fell short—the pizza crust was undercooked, a bit greasy, and tasted store-bought, which was quite disappointing. Thankfully, things picked up again after that. Khai later escorted us to our villa, and we were relieved that our balcony didn’t directly face the restaurant. However, I do feel the pool and villa balconies could be designed to offer more privacy so diners aren’t looking out over the area. Overall, the stay was truly pleasant. I loved that the resort is away from the busy beach, giving us a peaceful and quiet environment. All the staff were warm and friendly. A few standout perks include: 1. Complimentary rides to and from the property (subject to booking and availability) 2. Free minibar, replenished daily—including coffee capsules 3. Complimentary Netflix and YouTube accounts on the TV (which both my wife and I really love) 4. A pretty decent in-room breakfast experience. (they definitely do breakfast better than lunch, in my opinion) I also indulged in a 90-minute massage, which started with herbal tea, grapes, and a carrot stick during a herbal foot bath, followed by a foot massage and a one-hour full-body aromatherapy massage. My masseuse, Yaya, was incredibly patient and attentive, constantly checking on the pressure and even gifting me a small goodie bag at the end. All in all, I wouldn’t mind returning—and I’m even considering trying one of their larger 3-room villas next time. I highly recommend this resort for big families, couples, or anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

I wrote another review previously, but would like to add the name & WhatsApp number for a fabulous guide that we met at Tanjung Rhu. His name is Fendi (+60124885710) and we met him while he was doing a nature tour for the hotel. We asked him if he would take us on a private mangrove tour the next day. It was 350 Ringgit for the boat ride & driver & for the tour we gave Fendi 100 Ringgitt tip for doing such a great job of explaining the history and culture. He is a very spiritual person and helped a tourist whose bag was being grabbed by an aggressive monkey and wouldn't let go. He was a big part of the reason our trip was so memorable. He was also quite the Renaissance man, as his other interests were handgliding, fixing sandals, polishing car. high beams, mountain climbing, knowing natural herbs and their medicinal uses etc...

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room offered a great view, and the bathroom was notably spacious. The staff were consistently friendly and made the experience smooth. The food was a great—I was impressed with both the breakfast and the meals at the pool bar. While the hotel isn't directly on the beach, it's a manageable walk, and the free buggy service from the lobby is a very convenient touch. It's also in a good location for exploring, with several restaurants and massage shops just a short walk away. I would stay here again without a doubt.
