"The resort was beautiful, beach and pools were good and plenty of comfortable sun-loungers and fresh towels. Breakfast was good with a vast array of cuisines to please the many cultures staying at the hotel. Location was perfect for a beach still into town. Rooms were spacious and well appointed. We had a sea view room with balcony. However, the downside was that you could hear what was going on in the rooms above and to the sides of ours. General noise (children crying, prayer time, moving around) we could cope with but we had two nights of being kept awake by inconsiderate neighbours above us who were banging doors and cupboards and arguing, so much so we rang reception at midnight to complain. Nothing was done unfortunately until we raised it with the duty manager again the following day and we moved rooms. It did taint our experience as we were hoping for a relaxing stay and it was the most expensive hotel of our trip. The staff were helpful however and as the buildings are wooden, you are going to get some noise but this was beyond acceptable. So I would say you are at the mercy of your neighbours to a certain extent."
"Overall, the stay was pleasant, but there are a few areas that could be improved.
Firstly, housekeeping could be more consistent and timely. We left the room at around 10:00 AM and returned between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM, but the room had still not been cleaned. As a result, we only received housekeeping service once during our 5-night stay.
Secondly, noise insulation could be improved. Almost every night between 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM, I could hear doors being slammed as guests returned to their rooms, which was quite disruptive.
Other than these issues, the overall stay was enjoyable."
"During my previous visit to Langkawi, I used a day pass at Tanjung Rhu Resort and promised myself I would stay here next time. This stay exceeded all my expectations and was truly wonderful! I will definitely choose this resort again on my next trip to Langkawi.
The beach is right in front of the resort and incredibly peaceful—absolutely perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff's hospitality was also very attentive.
The only minor disappointment was the staff at breakfast, whose service felt a bit careless. However, overall it was an amazing experience, and I can't wait to return!"
"Room was clean and in good condition. Good room design, such as the night light in the toilet. Nice water features, pool beds, and infinity pool. Pools are open 8am till 8pm only. Breakfast had a decent spread: I liked that there was sourdough bread and yoghurt, as well as rotating local dishes such as kueh and beef tendon. There was a RM200/pax BBQ on the beach on Fri & Sat night. Approx 15 min walk to the middle of Cenang beach. Consider renting a car to enjoy Langkawi’s nice scenery and relaxed traffic (a Perodua Myvi worked well for this pair of Asian folks)."
"The hotel is decent overall. From our experience, cleanliness standards in some hotels and resort areas in Malaysia may differ from what we are used to in Canada. When we arrived, the toilet bowl was not properly cleaned, and there were hairs on the bathroom floor.
The beach, however, is excellent — white sand, shallow water, and very family-friendly, especially for kids. There are also plenty of activities available directly on the beach, such as jet skiing and paragliding. The sunsets were absolutely beautiful and one of the highlights of our stay.
I would not recommend purchasing the breakfast. We tried it once and paid directly at the counter, but the experience was disappointing. The staff were slow to clear tables after guests left, so many tables remained dirty for quite a while. The cleanliness of the glasses also left much to be desired, and it was difficult to find a reasonably clean glass for juice. In addition, the food selection was quite limited for the price.
The room does include a fridge, so instead we used Grab to visit a nearby fruit shop and bought fresh fruit and yogurt, which worked much better for us. I also highly recommend signing up for the Villa Gold Card during check-in. It’s free and gives access to the infinity pool as well as a 10% discount on food.
This was our third hotel in Malaysia during our two-week trip, and we noticed that the level of service is generally different from what we are accustomed to in Canada or Mexico."
