Stayed at the Datai for 3 nights during the rainy season but it really didn't rain that much. The hotel is beautiful, low key, and in my mind, more representative of Malaysia and its surroundings, then say the Four Seasons. its been recently renovated. i loved the fact that the Datai is right in the middle of the rainforest. you... more

First of all, please bear in mind this is by far the BEST place I have ever stayed in. Any negative comments are to be taken with an enormous pinch of salt (and then another). My fiance and I spent 10 days at the Datai in one of the deluxe villas. We were quite close to the "top" of the... more

What can I say about the Datai? I have a lot of very good things to say about it, but must get the negative out of the way first. The food and drink at this hotel is very expensive, the most that my husband and I have paid at any 5 Star hotel in the World - and we have... more

Spent a week of our honeymoon in this gorgeous hotel. It is set in the middle of the Rain Forest, with a hidden lagoon for a private beach. The room was spacious, clean, and had every mod con I could wish for. On the hotel grounds, we saw monkeys and lizards. Amazing ! Its a very private getaway, and i... more

I had wanted to visit the Datai for some time ....finally made it and it was an experience to savour. From the stunning lobby, tuneful frogs (especially the bullfrog who sang to the excellent trio at night) to the brillinat restaurants, excellent staff, beautiful beach and stunning villa, this hotel is truly amazing. So much has already been said and... more

If you want the best this is it. The lobby will take your breathe away. This is probably one of the loveliest hotels I have been to and I have traveled all over the world. If you want quiet, seclusion, first rate service and pampering, then stay here. It is an experience you will never forget. more

Oh.!..Yes, we were more than right to spend part of our holiday in Langkawi and particularly at The Datai Resort which I should say that its name should be written in capital letters because it more than deserves it from all aspects.!! I do not really know from where to start. From the geographical position of this resort in that... more

We stayed at the Datai in June 2006. What can I say... this hotel is truly unforgettable, hence I’m writing the review over 2 years after our visit! There is little to say that every other review other hasn’t already mentioned other than forget your other choices and chose the Datia. Forget the Caribbean, forget Thailand.... just go, you will... more

I have stayed in many famous and beautiful hotels - but this one is totally unforgettable. It is not surprising that people return year after year... staying at the Datai is a sublime experience that is worth paying for. The rainforest setting, the wildlife, the architecture, the service and the serenity are indeed priceless in this age. I have never... more
