Pangkor Laut Resort

Pangkor Laut is a lovely place. The staff is wonderful. The big surprise was the wildlife. So fun to see a tree full of fox bats, Pied Hornbill birds, and a family of sea otters who appear at 6:AM at Spa Village. My wife says her spa treatment was the best of her life. The food is really good, but not amazing. I understand that they are appealing to many different palates and cultures. Breakfast was top notch. Lunch was a prix fixe. They could use a less formal ala carte option, maybe a casual beach bar? Also, would recommend that they keep their bars open throughout the day. Sometimes you have to search for the open bar. Finally, the wine list is both expensive and limited. Stick to gin and tonics and Sapporo and you will do better. All in all, a beautiful place, with amazing staff.

Breathtaking resort. The feeling and buidings are amazing, the pillar houses just outstanding and the spa area very tastefully designed. I loved it. The only downside is the emerald beach that is a wonderful beach that is so dirty and full of plastic, glass and other rubbish. Why?

Our 3rd time here. Honeymoon, 10 years anniversary and now 20 years anniversary. This visit we noticed a decline in many things, dinning options was not great, 3 restaurants only and every night we staid, one restauant was closed. spa area is so run down, spa surrounding needs serious work, inside spa lots of dead leaves needs trimming, siting area by the spa need work, retaining wall by the beach is falling apart. Massage was good but not amazing. Price was high around $77 for 50 min, my cover up smelled bad so i had to ask for another one. Breakfast was good but not great, coffee machines didn't work well and floors are not the cleanest. Food quality for dinner was very good. But prices are very high. Our villa was amazing and very clean. Most beautiful room ever. The villas are well kept and main pool area was well kept and in a great shape, absolutely gorgeous. Check in staff was great we had Kimie and he is wonderful. But check out staff were not great. They didn't seem to care much about our stay. Also, first 2 visits we had the manager personally came to say bye to us and on our 10 year anniversary the manager gave us a card signed by all staff and a nice assortment of local soaps. Also, they used to give a basket or fruits in the room but not this time. We love Pangkour luat but not sure if we will come back. If its your first time you will not notice the decline and you will still enjoy it.

Pangkor Laut Resort is a memorable place for a resort holiday with great service and hospitality, great restaurants and a fantastic pool and tennis facility. Perfect for a 3-5 day get-away in Malaysia.
