A luxury Resort and a beach that sets it apart from many of the others on Langkawi. Service was 5* and only great things to say about everyone we came across. You are a long way from the rest of the island so a car\bike is necessary if your not going to spend the entire holiday on the glorious beach..... more

I cannot even begin to put into words how amazing this place is. Truly exceeded all expectations by miles and we are already saving to go back, just wish we could go again tomorrow. The setting of the hotel is breath-taking, the rooms comfortable and bathrooms particularly impressive with piles of soft white towels, Molton Brown toiletries everywhere you look... more

Picture this 1st impression: You pull off the road you've been driving on for the last 10 minutes without seeing another car. It is a road surrounded by jungle on either side at the "end of the road" in a UNESCO geopark. Before exiting a (non hotel comissioned) taxi you are warmly greeted by hotel staff who know your name... more

Best holiday ever. Stayed for our Honeymoon in a pool villa. Loved everything about this hotel. The food was fanatstic, (best rissoto anywhere in the world). The wine was priced reasonably, we did not feel that we were being ripped off everytime we ordered a drink. The nature walks with Arshad are informative and fun. This hotel cannot be beaten.... more

I changed my booking from Casa Del Mar to The Datai (as Casa was full for the days I wanted) and after reading the rave reviews, I had high expectations. FOOD: agree with previous reviews that the food at the Pavilion (Thai) was excellent - the servings were generous and Gulai House (Indian / Malay) was also very good. Beach... more

This is a great hotel to get away from everything and have a quiet and relaxing holiday. Hotel and staff are superb!! The Spa is a must!! more

If you're going to Langkawi I would urge you, if at all possible, do everything you can to stay at the Datai even if only for a couple of days of your stay. We had our honeymoon here, and it is expensive but this is definitely a case of you get what you pay for. It's not the luxury (although... more

I stayed here on my honeymoon after travelling to Dubai and Kuala Lumpur - what a wonderful way to end the trip. This is the best hotel I've ever stayed in - yes it's not cheap but I wouldn't hesitate to say it was worth every penny. After the Atlantis in Dubai and the Mandarin Oriental in KL, this was... more

We have been at most tourist destinations. Bali ( Shopping & its people) & Phuket ( nightlife). Langkawi is for the finer things of life - food, wine, ecotourism etc. Wine in Langkawi is a fraction of the price in Bali. The Datai has all these facets in spades. We had a rain forest villa ( perhaps the best but... more
