Four Seasons Resort Langkawi

The azure waters of the Andaman Sea gently lap against the mile-long white sand private beaches. And the well-maintained lush tropical gardens are a delight to meander through. The accommodation is clean and spacious, with lots of wardrobe and storage space, and well designed bathrooms with huge baths. Service is impeccable, with many staff “going the extra mile.” All departments operated to the client-focused standards: front desk, housekeeping, fitness centre and spa, restaurants, and the buggy drivers who transport guests all over the resort. Buffet breakfast in the Serai restaurant is delicious and plentiful, as are the culinary options in the evenings in the Resort’s other restaurants. Languorous sunbathing by the adult infinity pool is a serene pleasure, but for some adventure, a range of options include rainforest trekking, jet skiing, or island hopping.

Our stay at Four Seasons Resort Langkawi was overall a beautiful experience. The resort itself is stunning, with an absolutely gorgeous pool area and, in our opinion, the most beautiful beach in Langkawi. The natural surroundings create a very relaxing and exclusive atmosphere. The staff was very kind, welcoming, and professional throughout our stay. We especially appreciated the kids club, which was very well organized, and the team was attentive and engaging with the children. The rooms are slightly dated in terms of design, but they were clean and comfortable, which we appreciated. However, we felt that the dining experience could be improved to fully match the reputation and price level of such a luxury property. The food was not always as flavorful as expected. The breakfast was good, and the coffee was acceptable — in fact, it was the only place in the resort where we could enjoy a proper coffee. Unfortunately, at the beach bar we were unable to get a well-prepared cappuccino. Overall, the resort offers a spectacular setting, beautiful beach, and excellent service, especially for families traveling with children. That said, there is still room for improvement in certain areas, particularly regarding the food and beverage experience, considering the high standards expected from a Four Seasons property.

After a year, we returned to the Four Seasons again and everything was as excellent as before. This time, my wife booked a cooking class at Ika Ika, which was held especially for her by the head chef himself. Highly recommended, all the spices, ingredients and preparation were explained very well. All restaurants also cater to special requests if you want something different. But the absolute highlight for me is the Rhu Bar with bartender Rai. They serve all the standard and signature cocktails, but he also mixes special cocktails according to your desired flavour. You can tell he is very experienced, which he has also demonstrated by winning awards in various Asian competitions. Unfortunately, the weather really let us down, with almost 10 days of nearly nothing but rain and storms. But we will be back.

We arrived back this morning after a truly magical 13 nights. The service was exceptional from beginning to end. All staff without exception were gentle, humble & nothing was too much trouble. The food in all 3 restaurants was incredible. We loved the beach and spent most of our days reading , swimming and paddle boarding. My husband brought his own SUP with us and the water activities team were so helpful every day. So a big thank you to them. We went on the Mangrove tour with Amy from the team. We had a cheaper quote from an external company but we heard great things from other guests about the Four Seasons team so went with them. I’m so pleased we did because the knowledge and enthusiasm Amy showed was amazing. We were both SO SO sad to leave but would highly recommend this paradise to anyone needed a recharge and reset. A special thank you to the delightful Balqis for bringing a smile to our faces every day - What a ray of sunshine To Malik for his passion and attention to detail. To Man Yee for her humour and dedication to great service . And to Hasrul from the wonderful Family pool team- excellent service with a stunning smile 😊 Thank you to all the hotel staff for a truly magical break 🙏

I rarely leave negative reviews, especially for Four Seasons properties, but Rhu Bar was genuinely disappointing given the brand, price point, and clientele this hotel attracts. The setting is beautiful — beachfront, sunset, all the right ingredients — but the cocktail program feels completely out of place for a resort of this caliber. There’s no attention to detail behind the bar. No clear ice. No proper dilution control. Glassware and builds feel generic. Drinks arrive looking and tasting like something you’d expect at a mid-range hotel bar, not a luxury destination charging premium prices. To put it into perspective: bars like BKK Social Club, Fifty Mils, or Charles H in Seoul operate on an entirely different level — precision, technique, presentation, and balance. Rhu Bar doesn’t come close. It’s not just about being “craft”; it’s about care, and that’s what’s missing here. This is especially frustrating because Four Seasons guests are paying for a world-class experience. When you’re spending this much to be here, a cocktail shouldn’t feel like an afterthought. At the bare minimum make me a drink on a proper ice cube thats clear. Rooms were at least nice. Cleanliness was there. noise level was fine.
