The Danna Langkawi, Malaysia

We arrived without a booking after an unfortunate experience at another hotel on Langkawi. We were greeted and booked and checked in within half an hour. Our room faced the sea, and had a covered balcony roof. It was large and clean. The bed was comfortable too. The pool and beach area were spectacular. We had grand ideas of doing excursions but the lure of the beach and the pool was too much. This is a perfect place to stay for relaxation. Even though it was just after New Year (and there were quite a few families with young children), we did not feel that it was crowded. We had a spa treatment each which was very relaxing. I used the gym a couple of times. It is small but has everything for a quick workout. My partner did a cooking class with Pari, one of the head chefs. He was fortunate to have this class by himself. Pari was attentive and a great teacher; my partner now makes the dishes at home! Every time we were in the restaurant after my partner did the course, Pari would ask if everything was okay and even make us something upon request. (We don't eat fish or shellfish and a lot of dishes contain fish so Pari would get something made without fish for us). Thank you Pari for your time and wonderful food. The breakfast and food we had by the pool during the day was always very good. We had one unfortunate evening at the Italian themed restaurant. It seemed like the staff were having an off day (slow and forgetful) but we always saw it busy so we must have been unlucky. Thank you to all at the Danna. We had a wonderful time and if we return to Langkawi, we know where we will be staying.

Outstanding service paired with exceptionally friendly staff, all within a perfectly located hotel that offers a peaceful and relaxing stay.

Property is having awesome location with great amenities. Rooms are too beautiful with lot of space as I have booked the Suit Room. It’s really too big. Food is yummy with lot of varieties but as I am Vegetarian it’s get limited to me. Pool is very clean and big in size.

We upgraded from a Merchant Room to a Grand Marina View Room, and it was absolutely worth it. While some Merchant Rooms face the internal garden, our Marina room had a much better view, along with a spacious balcony and a large, well-appointed bathroom. We were on a half-board package and had breakfast daily at Planters. You could choose from a generous buffet or order à la carte—both options were excellent. We also had dinner at Planters most nights, except for one evening at the Italian restaurant. Both restaurants offered à la carte menus, and the food was consistently high quality with a wide variety of dishes to suit all tastes. The pool was another highlight—huge (over 40 meters long), perfect for both relaxing and swimming laps. I really liked the design touches like sunbeds placed in the shallow end of the pool and the jacuzzi in one corner. There were always plenty of sunbeds available, both by the pool and on the beach. Unfortunately, I fell ill one day, but I was really impressed by how well the hotel staff looked after me. A first aider was sent immediately, and they even contacted a doctor for advice. Many staff members continued to check in on me for the rest of our stay, which was a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. A special thank you to Shakira, who went above and beyond to make our stay special. I would definitely recommend this hotel over the bigger international brands in Langkawi. The personalised service really sets it apart. The only downside was the weather (no fault of the hotel) and a disappointing experience at Straits & Co., where the food didn’t quite live up to expectations. Thankfully, the excellent dining experiences at Planters and the Italian restaurant more than made up for it.

Fuod the hotel Manager is excellent. Got us a late checkout and helped with the airport transfers. Kusnul team at the day spa were exceptional. Kusnul's welcome massage upon arrival was fantastic, given we arrived really late. Pillow range was great. Buffet breakfast at Planters was excellent. Thanks to Planters staff Erma and Wahieda for a great experience.
