Langkawi Beach Hotels

This is our second time here, and the hotel kindly sent over a bottle of sparkling wine. We're loyal Four Seasons fans, and there's absolutely nothing to complain about! Haha. The hotel grounds are quite expansive, and the beach is beautiful. The landscaping is incredibly well-maintained. Truly lives up to the Four Seasons name! Amazing!!

The hotel is located on a private island, which was a fun experience as we had to take the free shuttle boat provided by the hotel to get in and out. The boats ran frequently. One evening, even though it wasn't shuttle time, they arranged a special boat just for me to go back to the hotel and rest. I booked a one-bedroom suite, but the hotel upgraded me to a two-bedroom suite. Both were over 100 square meters, but the extra room added more functionality, which was perfect for us as we just wanted to relax at the hotel. The three of us had a wonderful rest. There's a private beach, though the sand isn't very fine, and the sea in Langkawi generally isn't the clearest. Breakfast was hit or miss; sometimes good, sometimes not so good. Compared to another hotel we stayed at, we were very satisfied here. We were the only three Chinese guests at the hotel. The front desk staff had a strong English accent, but my child's English is good, so it wasn't an issue for us. The swimming pool water wasn't crystal clear; it was a bit murky. The service in Malaysia felt very straightforward, without much smiling, which might be a cultural thing. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.

The hygiene was on par with a domestic guesthouse – not great. Breakfast mainly consisted of flatbreads and various porridges, which I wasn't really used to. The rainforest environment, however, was fantastic, with monkeys, geckos, and all sorts of small animals that the kids loved. After the evening show, some people were exhausted, and if you accidentally took a wrong turn on the way back to your room, you’d have to climb up the hill all over again. On a positive note, the chef at the Western restaurant was incredibly talented, serving the best steak, pasta, and grilled prawns on the entire island – truly amazing!

We were a group of friends with kids. The hotel's location is pretty good, only a 10-minute Grab ride from the airport. Definitely don't bother with their airport transfer service, it's way more expensive. The hotel consists entirely of bungalows, giving it a Southeast Asian resort vibe with all-wood construction. Of course, soundproofing is an issue. If you get quiet neighbors, it's fine, but noisy ones can be quite troublesome! My friend and I booked a sea-view room. All rooms are two-story. The first floor is right by the sea, with a balcony that leads directly to the beach, letting the sea kiss your ankles! My friend stayed on the ground floor and said it was so relaxing to just lie there and watch the sea every day! The view from the second floor is unbeatable; looking at the sea from a higher vantage point offers a different kind of charm. You can hear the sound of the waves lulling you to sleep every night, which is really fantastic! The scenery and environment are absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend booking a sea-view room. Now for the downsides: the hotel's hygiene is truly concerning. My friend said the pillows felt like they hadn't been changed and had a strange smell. My kid even reported seeing a gecko in the bathroom at night! The facilities are also quite old. The air conditioning units are wall-mounted, and some rooms have them blowing directly at your head, which can easily cause headaches or illness. The sink area and floor weren't very clean, and the bathroom door wouldn't close properly – it was ill-fitting, possibly due to thermal expansion and contraction. There were many small issues like these. We also had an infuriating incident. I booked a twin room, but they gave me a king room. We arrived at the hotel around 10 PM after a day of sea activities, and when I asked to change to a twin room, I was told none were available. We waited a long time for a solution, and eventually, two staff members came and suggested converting the sofa into a bed. I insisted on a room change, but they kept saying there were no rooms! Finally, I lost my patience and contacted Ctrip's customer service. The customer service representative was excellent, helping communicate and negotiate past 11 PM. In the end, we successfully changed to our booked twin room! This made me quite angry – when I dealt with the hotel directly, there were no rooms, but as soon as the platform got involved, a room magically appeared! Although it took over two hours, and we were tired from the day's activities, and the child wasn't feeling well, so we didn't get to rest until after midnight, I still want to thank the platform for their prompt response and quick resolution! Also, the ceiling fan suddenly turned on by itself around 5 AM – it was just one ghost story after another. My rating for this stay is largely based on the environment; otherwise, it would probably be even lower. If it weren't for this incident, the whole trip would have been very nice.

The room was comfortable overall, a little dated, but perfectly acceptable. The back door offered direct beach access, which was very convenient, though the water wasn't particularly clear, with lots of seaweed and broken shells. The hotel's natural environment was excellent, very refreshing with plenty of oxygen, and lots of monkeys around. It was a very relaxing stay overall.

⭐We had a very enjoyable stay at Ombak Villa Langkawi. The resort is located in a peaceful setting by the sea and offers beautiful sunset views. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit, and the swimming pool area was a great place to unwind. The resort is also conveniently located close to the airport while still feeling quiet and secluded. Breakfast offered a good variety of options, and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The only minor downside was that some areas of the property could benefit from a little updating, but this did not affect our overall experience. We would happily recommend Ombak Villa Langkawi to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable stay in Langkawi.

The room was clean and cozy. This hotel is right on the beachfront with its own private beach! There are plenty of sun loungers, a large pool, and beautiful, unique grounds! The breakfast didn't impress me at all ((( The only thing that made breakfast bearable was a glass of champagne… everything else was tasteless and cold (and I have a lot to compare it to, having stayed at several other hotels on the island)… there is parking available. In the evening, we were treated to a fantastic fire show!!!! It was absolutely beautiful, held right by the sea! Splendid!!

My stay at frangipani was better than what I expected. The resorts location is ideal for island vacation, perfect blend of untouched beach and resorts ecosystem is extraordinary. The staff is very helpful, polite and attentive. I found my room was very clean plus house keeping was to the point. The swimming pools are maintained well. All in all I would say its a perfect place to stay for couples and families. I would come back here again.

The hotel and room are a bit seasoned but still in an acceptable condition for you to enjoy your lovely holidays at Langawi sandy beach which is right in front of the hotel. There was no parking available at the hotel but you can park your car for free at the near by Langgura Baron hotel which is ab 400 m away. Overall, I would say that the room price with amenities & 2 complimentary breakfast was just the best bargain that you can get.

I was a bit nervous checking in after reading some reviews, but it turned out to be much better than I expected! First off, I really liked the hotel's overall ambiance, especially the infinity pool and public areas – they were great. Here are the cons: 1. The front desk staff are all locals (they don't speak Chinese and weren't particularly friendly to Chinese guests). When I booked, I specifically requested a high floor, but I was assigned the second floor. To move to a higher floor, they wanted an extra 150 MYR per day. I had to get some Ctrip customer service agents to help negotiate, and Ctrip covered part of the cost, so I was moved to the 6th floor! There were very few Chinese guests in the entire hotel, mostly Caucasians and locals. 2. The hotel breakfast was truly awful, practically inedible. Luckily, there are good breakfast spots and drinks near the hotel. 3. The bath towels and bedding were quite poor (which seems to be a common issue in Malaysian hotels). I recommend bringing your own pillowcases, disposable towels, etc. 4. The hotel doesn't have a beach. Here are the pros: Eating in the Kuah town area is much cheaper, offering great value for money. There are also fewer tourists, so if you like peace and quiet, Kuah is the place to choose.
