When we were booking our trip and decided to go to Pangkor Laut, 4 days and 4 nights, we checked the reviews on TA and were slightly worried by some of the negative comments here, but were buoyed by some excellent ones too!! After returning I can honestly say, apart from some peoples unfortunate mishaps, I do not understand the... more

The hotel is undoubtedly beautiful in the far eastern way. But I feel that perhaps, given the rainforest etc it seems a little weird not to have an eco resort here. The sea water can be fithy with the waste that the locals throw into the sea that then gets washed up continuously. Sadly, it is not the fault of... more

Pangkor Laut Resort (PLR) is a resort located in pristine rainforest and directly next to the beach. Lumut, gateway to PLR is only 4 hours away fr KLIA and 3 hours away from Penang. Currently there is a direct flight ( fireflyz) to Ipoh from Singapore which is only 2 hours away by car. Check-in Lumut is fast and hassle... more

The hotel is very well thought out. The restaurants are varied and the food is pretty good, though not quite the fine dining it is billed as. The spa is very good indeed, and is one of the best I have visited. The beach on the other side of the island is beautiful, although it does get a little busy... more

Me and hubby visited Pangkor Laut Resort (by the YTL group) last May 2009. We were sure that it will be a great vacation due to our last experience with YTL resorts when we visited Tanjung Jara in Terangganu Malaysia last year. This time, we gave Pangkor a try, especially after some expat friends informed us of their satisfaction when... more

We were married in Bali and decided to keep our honeymoon within Asia. I was looking for a resort removed from your standard run of the mill, and somewhere not as easily accessible as Langkawi (and had previously visited Langkawi). We stayed 5 nights in a Spa Villa - which was nice. Our room number was 806 - 2nd from... more

This resort was magical from beggining to end. From the greeting on the mainland office to the boat ride to the island, all week the service was exceptional. The Emerald bay beach was one of the best we have ever been to. Service was 10/10, could not fault it, breakfast was magical every day. The only downside was the price... more

On arriving in Lamut and checking in at a private booth near the jetty, my partner and I knew that we were in for a special trip. We were welcomed by friendly staff that checked us in and dealt with our luggage. After a short wait we were then transported to the Island via ferry. The ferry was exclusively for... more

After 2 nights in KL and our drive to the jetty, it was all a build up to what lay ahead. Greeted by name on arrival we (honeymooners!) were given an upgrade to the sea villa. Escorted to the villa, we were in awe of the scenery around us. The sound of silence and the crickets made the heart beat... more
