Pangkor Laut Resort

This is one of the places we already put long time on our list, we stayed for 3 nights over here in a sea villa. As we were coming in from across (pangkor island) we decided to take the short route and use a private transfer to PLR (only 10 minutes) we informed the reception the day before (also time of arrival) but were really surprised no one was ready to welcome us, we arrived on the pier, had to carry our luggage ourselves and discuss with a securtity agent before we finally got welcomed by a staff member. But this said it was the only negative point of our stay , the sea villas are very nice (just make sure to have the ones with real sea view, as some are facing sideways the resort). It’s really a one island - one resort , we ate in 3 different restaurants, including both that only were available on reservation (make sure to book before arriving if you want to dine in those), food was fantastic and excellent service. The beach on the other side of the island is fantastic, if you go early enough in the morning you’ll have it almost for yourself, very nice. They have a ‘feet in the sand’ beach resto (bbq buffet), only remark on this one is that the choice is every day the same, so if you want to eat something different you’ll have to move to another part of the island (which is always by shuttle). But this island is beautiful, we had a wonderful stay, and would recommend this for people wanting to stay in a different place and original place !

I really can’t explain how amazing our holiday was. From the minute we arrived at the reception on the mainland we were treated so well by the staff, nothing was too much trouble. The boat ride over to the island was beautiful and I nearly cried when I saw how beautiful the island was when we arrived. Really, a truly stunning place. We stayed in a garden villa, the room was perfect and had beautiful views out to the sea. Getting to the point... Room was great, 5* - Everything we could want, everything very comfortable and a balcony area with plenty visits from the Hornbills :) Food was great 5* - we ate in all of the restaurants...Uncle Lims and Fisherman’s Cove were our favourites. Breakfast choices were incredible...I don’t think you could want for more. Staff and service were great 5* - Nothing was ever too much hassle. So helpful and polite, couldn’t have asked for better. Names we noted as the best and most helpful...Please excuse any bad spelling! Din (every day at lunch, the best), Koman, Rizzac, Mei Kei, Vipin, Mogan, Indra and Vije. The ladies who decorated the flower pots in the morning deserve a shout out too :) Location 5* - beautiful island, beautiful weather, beautiful jungle with tour. It was the most chilled and beautiful place I’ve ever been. As we went in September it wasn’t packed and made it feel like it was our own little piece of paradise. I would recommend this island and resort to anyone in a minute. If I could have given more than 5* I would. Truly the best :)

My wife and I went on a short vacation @ Pangkor Laut for 3D2N with the residence package. I would say it was one of the best trip we’ve had. It was a smooth drive from KL to Marina Jetty which took us about 3 hours. We checked in at the jetty reception and from there a short speed boat ride to Pangkor Laut. We stayed at the hill villa, luckily for us we got the topmost villa and the view was just breath taking. ( tho, the view from lower hill villas appears to be blocked by trees. So make sure to call them before hand and request for a villa with a view if u r staying at the hill villa ) Food was great, particularly at Uncle Lims. So much so that we decided to come again for the second night ( also greatly due to warm hospitality of our favourite restaurant manager Darwin ). * the price of the food may be a tad pricy , but I would highly recommend the packages which include the meals (residence package for us) it’s definitely worth it. Activities. We tried the 80mins couples massage. It comes with a 40 mins relaxing bath experience which we really enjoyed. There’s also waters sports activities snorkelling, kayaking, wakeboarding etc but we didn’t manage to try it out. One of our favourite place tho was the game room. End up spending few hours there playing pingpong, pool and darts. I would also recommend watching the sunset at the emerald bay. I could write about many more enjoyable moments in Pangkor Laut resort, but nothing would compare to warmth and kindliness that the staff had shown us. Their passion and genuine amiability made us feel right at home. They are the real Gems of pangkor laut resort. *Special thanks to Darwin at Uncle Lims, Mogan at the feast village , Eugene at reception and many others who has made our stay the perfect getaway that it was. As the say in PLR, it’s never goodbye , just see you soon.

Amazing resort nestled in nature with lots of greenery. Beach is not great and is on the opposite side of the Island quite a distance from the hotel. Pricey rooms and meals since it’s a captive market on a private island.

We stayed at the amazing Pangkor Laut Resort last year as part of our first trip to Malaysia, all I can say is WOW. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left you feel like you are somewhere really special. On arrival at the jetty you are welcomed with cold towels and juice which sets you up for what’s ahead. As you arrive by boat the island looks truly stunning and it just gets better and better from there. We booked two hillside villas next to each other so our 15 year old daughter had her own villa next door. The villas are beautiful with the most amazing view. We ate in most restaurants and we’re not disappointed, in particular Uncle Lim’s is a must! Emerald bay is beautiful and serves amazing sea food barbecue. The spa was first class and the complimentary massage was one of the best we’ve ever had. The only downside was that we didn’t have long enough there! Loved it so much that we’re hoping to return this August to celebrate a big wedding anniversary and our daughters 16th birthday, this time we’ll stay longer!
