Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa

I had a amazing stay at Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa Langkawi. Beautiful beachfront resort on the best part of Cenang. Stunning beach. The resort has a lovely tropical island vibe and the sense of space. The room was spacious, modern, and comfortable, with lovely Malaysian touches. The super king size bed was incredible. I loved spending time on the terrace overlooking the ocean. Warm welcome at check-in. While waiting for my room, I was taken to the Club Lounge, which was nice. Tea and coffee available all day, and the late afternoon cocktails and canapés were a lovely bonus. Breakfast was excellent. Spice Market has a wide Asian spread, a custom noodle station, and beautiful indoor and outdoor seating surrounded by bright pink bougainvillaea. My favourite, though, was Pelangi Grill - right by the beach, with ocean views and even Prosecco in the mornings. The pool is huge, with plenty of space, shaded daybeds, and a very well designed kids’ pool area. Tried the spa and it was great too. I had dinner at Pelangi Grill overlooking the sunset. Mind-blowing view. Definitely one of the best Langkawi sunsets I've witnessed! Great food too. The best thing about Pelangi to me is its people. Warm, genuine and friendly. I could feel he true spirits of Malaysian hospitality here. Pelangi is spacious, low rise, kampung style, with a beautiful beach and stunning sunsets. I would happily return.

Enjoyed my stay. Most importantly my kids had fun. Not many resort in langkawi have children pool section, so for Pelangi this is a great bonus for family vacation. Rooms are good, clean, definitely renovated from last i was here. Food is good, room svc is fairly fast. Staff overall are friendly and attentive. Location is convenient, is a long main Cenang road where you can find pretty much everything from food to pharma to whatever. Like to give credits to the resort house keeping team, one of the housekeeper mistakenly took my daughter pillow. It was an honest mistake. Alert them, we had to fly back same day. They apologise profusely. After we got back, they kept me update on the situation, found the pillow and send it back to me, daughter was so happy.

A really lovely resort, located just at 10-min drive from the airport, but right on the most beautiful beach on the island. It has all the amenities you may expect from a 5-star resort, with few restaurants and bars, two pools, a kid's playground. The reception hall is rather impressive. For breakfast they serve the Asian style in one and then the Western style in another restaurant, but you can go to both and mix your food. The beach is quite nice with white soft sand and a number of bars along the beach. I would just expect more toiletries in the bathroon considering it is a 5-star property like a sewing kit, cotton pads, a shoe polish kit etc. The service could improve though. We were a group and our rooms should have been ready for us to check in by 3pm, but some of us waited till 4pm. One of the ladies in our group got stuck on the balcony as the door closed behind her and couldn't enter the room. Luckily, she had a mobile phone and even though she made frequent calls to the reception, nobody appeared for over an hour until her husband came and opened the door. That is unacceptable for any accommodation, much less for a 5-star property. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay and I would recommend it to anyone who is coming to Langkawi.

I stayed for one week at Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa in Langkawi, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The location is perfect: less than a 10-minute walk to many bars and restaurants around Pantai Cenang, with a lively atmosphere that’s great for younger travelers as well. Everything else is very easy to reach by Grab. The beach is beautiful and pleasant to walk along. One thing to keep in mind is the sea: there are high and low tides, so swimming is not equally enjoyable at all times of the day. That said, this is easily compensated by the pool area, which is very spacious, with plenty of sun loungers and large day beds available , never an issue finding a place to relax. The staff truly make this hotel special. From reception to the bars and throughout the resort, everyone is incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. The baristas deserve a special mention. They are so sweet and make absolutely amazing iced coffees, genuinely among the best iced coffees I’ve had in my life. The bar staff are also very friendly and always smiling. The rooms were spotless at every housekeeping visit: always very clean, well maintained, and we never lacked anything. Getting around the resort is easy thanks to the golf carts, which are quick and efficient. Whenever we arrived by Grab/car/transfer at the reception, staff were always there to open and close the car doors for us. Overall, the hospitality throughout the resort is outstanding. The value for money is excellent for a 5-star hotel. It’s not all-inclusive, but prices are very reasonable. For example, an iced coffee costs around 18 MYR (about 4 USD). The only very minor point to improve would be the beach restaurant during peak hours. The staff can be quite stressed at busy times, and one staff member was occasionally a bit borderline unpleasant, clearly due to stress rather than bad intentions, and this was very occasional. Finally, I had an issue with a lost suitcase, and the hotel staff were extremely professional, helpful, and supportive, assisting me as much as possible. Overall, an amazing stay with exceptional service. You really get what you pay for, and more. I would definitely come back without hesitation.

We stayed here for 2 weeks and it was fantastic. One of the best and most beautiful resorts in Malaysia. Even though it was fully booked it didn't feel crowded because the room buildings are spread out on the terrain. The Pool is very large and there were enough sunbeds. The location is great, very close to Pantai Cenang. Only downside was the Pelangi Grill restaurant, which wasn't very high quality. The staff on the resort was very friendly, helpful and attentive. And above all very child friendly!
