Four Seasons Resort Langkawi

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.

Thank you for being so unwelcoming when we came over for dinner at your hotel. You refused us to even come in for a drink citing you were full - what rubbish. Glad to go and spend our money elsewhere and next time we visit Langkawi we will be sure not to book your hotel….

Tanjung Rhu is a breathtaking stretch of beach, truly one of Langkawi’s most remarkable. Though not private, it remains beautifully serene, and is well worth a visit even if you’re not staying at the Four Seasons. Ikan Restaurant serves outstanding Malay cuisine — unquestionably setting the benchmark on the island. In our experience, even the much-praised Gulai House at The Datai doesn’t come close when it comes to authentic, flavourful Malay dishes. While the property shows a touch of age, it is still wonderfully maintained. Overall, we rank this resort as the second best in Langkawi — just behind The Datai in terms of setting, location, and architecture — but with the very best food on the island. A memorable experience all around.

The location of this resort is absolutely exceptional! Surrounded by nature, wildlife, the sea, and breathtaking landscapes, we truly felt like we were living in harmony with the fauna and flora. The resort is not new but really charming. This message is especially to thank **Felicia Chee**, who made our stay unforgettable. Her thoughtful gestures, personalized service, and the lovely gifts for our children turned our vacation into something truly special. The family villa was stunning—spacious, and incredible views from every angle. We felt like we had the entire island to ourselves, a feeling we will never forget. Waking up with our feet in the sand and facing such a magnificent panorama was priceless. A big thank you to Zayn, Malik and the entire team for their outstanding service. Our five days with the kids were amazing—they enjoyed the Kids Club and all the activities, especially biking through the jungle (they never stopped pedaling!). The restaurants were good, and every detail showed how much families are welcomed here. Thank you for all your attention and care. We can’t wait to come back!

My wife and I visited Four Seasons Langkawi in early November. We had originally booked an upper floor partial sea view apartment but due to an event at the resort, the accommodations manager Felicia Chee upgraded us to a 2 bed family beach villa with plunge pool. Our stay was really memorable. The villa was very spacious, beautifully presented with all amenities present and functioning. The outlook onto the beach and all outdoor facilities were also fantastic. The resort is flat and covers 1.5km of beachfront which is carefully cleaned each morning. All resort facilities, pools, retail, restaurants and the extensive gardens are very well maintained. We had absolutely no complaints with the standards presented. Felicia and every member of staff we encountered ( and there are many) made us feel so welcome. All are assured, at ease dealing with guests and understand and communicate clearly. Their service and courtesy were exemplary. Felicia in particular went out of her way to ensure we had the most fabulous visit. Food in the resort was never anything short of first class, whether dining in the restaurants or in the villa. The buggy service around the resort and chat facility on the FS app worked exceedingly well with every request responded to in a few minutes throughout our stay. All in all a fabulous resort and truly great experience from start to finish. Very well done to Felicia and all the staff at FS Langkawi. We would not hesitate to book again, especially in dry season ( Nov-April) and would strongly recommend this resort to other visitors to Langkawi.
