In general, my view is good, but there were a few hiccups. Check in was a smooth process, but the staff member checking us in was difficult to understand with his heavy accent. I've lived in Asia for 6 years so I'm accustomed to various levels of English, but I had a hard time understanding him. Upon Checkin we were... More

The three of us stayed for five nights between 11 and 16 May in an End Suite. From the moment you book the resort over the internet you can feel the finest service. We asked for an extra bed at the time of booking, the resort confirmed everything the day before we arrived. Upon arrival in Langkawi we were greeted... More

We spent 10 nights at this luxury resort.... Absolutely stunning. Two pools (one adults only) and the other for anyone. The Andaman sea was warm and inviting with a private sandy beach stretching for miles either side of the hotel. Ours was a pool villa with a private plunge pool in the rainforest.... Awesome. The three restaurants we went to... More

Unusually for me, I could not find fault with this place. A couple of things to note for the more picky among us: - it is a looooong way from the airport, and everything else. Not that you will ever want to leave the resort! - the rooms do not seem to be properly airconditioned, only with fans. Also the... More

My first to Langkawi, and it was a great experience. Nicely set in a rain forest, 'The Datai' is a unique property, very refreshing, authentic, and luxurious. They have a lovely beach, nice walkways, and a very welcoming reception area. The services were above average, very detailed and prompt. The staff was very friendly and prompt. a must for people...

I was spoilt by my husband and taken here for our honeymoon in 2010. I loved every single second we were here, from the moment we arrived, were greeted with welcome drinks on the patio overlooking the rainforest, through to when we left - it was sad times. We will definately go back. Everything about The Datai is magical. There... More

Datai is an amazing experience, with the attentive staff and a great beach. It is well-maintained, and set in the rainforest, it is refreshing. Datai has an authenticity you don't find in a lot of luxury resorts. Overall a great place to stay and will be back.

We just arrived back from The Datai this morning and although severely jet lagged I felt compelled to post a review as quickly as possible. First of all, having read some previous feedback surrounding the distance to the beach being too far or steep (it isn't and if you really can't face the 5 minute walk from the main complex... More

Datai is in very quite corner in Langkawi. Hotel has been built some time ago but the design is still so chic and modern. Also the rainforest garden with lovely yellow lightings make the whole property like a fairytale land. We enjoyed private beach with stunning sunset. But beach bed was not enough for all, drinking water was way too... More
