I stayed at the berjaya for 4 nights after travelling from thailand.
I was unsure what to expect from this hotel but enjoyed it thoroughly.
I have stayed at the tanjung sanctuary hotel in langkawi and loved it there so it had a alot to live upto.
The main area reception is very nice and reminded me of cuban style receptions that I have been to. Reception staff were very informative and friendly and helped to move the room a little nearer to the action because of mobility problems.
There is a shuttle service thats runs so that if you dont want to walk through the exstensive grounds you can just call from your room and they will pick you up and take you anywhere in the resort including to the oriental village for shopping.
The bungalows are widespread thoughout the resort and have a very rustic malay style charm to them. I stayed in a superior room and it was very nice, if you are expecting complete luxury for say a honeymoon or some kind of special occasion I think maybe this would not be the place for you. After coming from thaialnd and phiphi island which is total luxury this was a big contrast but a pleasant one.
The rooms that we stayed with were a little worn and and the bathroom looked a little tired but they were busy painting and rennovating very quietly whilst we were there, so rooms may be nicer now. You have a small balcony which to sit and watch the variety of wild life, our bungalow was in the forest and Im so glad it was and not on the water as the wildlife is what makes this resort special. The rustic charm means that the wildlife lives happily amongst the hotel. We saw monkeys exotic birds and to my delight a flying lemur (very rare) It took quite a shine to me and wanted to get closer, don't be afraid they are primates and are very gentle and inquisitive. Take note not to feed the monkeys as they do apear in droves and will do anything to get in your room. They will come and take a look at you if you just talk to them without the ordeal of trying to escape when they all want the one piece of banana you have...I thank goodness learnt this not by personal experience but from a tourist.
Normal facilities such as tv miniar and coffee/tea making facilities. If you are as tight as me you will take a trip to the oriental village and stcok up on all the munchies and drinks which are a 1/5 price of the resort shop. The maid cleaned the room like i have never seen before every inch of the room was scrubbed.
The thai and oriental resteraunts are both amazing and I can not resommend them enough...good value too! The sticky sweet and sour chicken is to die for!!!! The Thai was on a jetty out in the sea on stilts and has amazing views, the food is fresh and very tasty and very reasonably priced.
The buffet resteruant is a bit well like a buffet...canteen..chairs and tables too close together and you feel like you are eating on the run. dont go all inclusive! The breakfast was adequate but nothing special.
the bungalows on water look amazing but I think the public areas make me think that you would be disappointed if you paid so much for one.
Cocktails were amazing!
The pool area is lovely and there are plenty of beds to lie and relax, the beach too is lovely but after being spoilt with the vista at phiphi it was nowhere near as beautiful.

Spa was very reasonable by british standards and a lovely relaxing experience.

We went on the trip to the cable car at the oriental village booked at the oreintal village not at hotel and it was well worth it, omg the view was amazing, I am scared of heights and even I had to get over it and just appreciate the wonder of the view and the mountains.

Overall the berjaya is a decent middle range hotel, the rustic charm of the place is what makes it special. It isn't manicured and slick and that's what makes it work. You feel like you are in the middle of the jungle with all its wonderous sounds and sights which are enchanting.

We had a fabulous Premier Chalet on water on the western end of the resort. Being on the ocean was incredible. The deck was a great place to relax in the evening after a hard day of sightseeing. The sounds of the waves soothed us to sleep and woke us gently. The room was well appointed, large and clean. The cabinets had plenty of storage space and a safe. The bathroom was large with a double vanity, walk-in shower and a separate tub. There is a large pass-through/window from the bathroom to the room, with only horizontal blinds to separate the two rooms, so there is no sound barrier, if you're squeamish about that kind of thing. Turn-down service every night, they leave orchids on the bed and a small sweet snack, very nice

Breakfast was included, but it wasn't anything to rave about. Large selection of food, but none of it was particularly good. It was edible and it filled void. We ate at the Thai and Chinese restaurants and the Café and none those were anything special either. They weren't bad, but I expected more from what I thought was a fairly high-end resort. The prices were quite expensive compared to local restaurants, like at almost any resort anywhere.

The pool is very nice but a little small for the number of people there. Towels are available for borrowing, they take your room number and keep track of towel return. There is a long stretch of beach which is nice, we didn't go in the water here though.

Had a wonderful massage at the spa. You can use the other spa amenities before or after the treatment as well. The large jacuzzi was fabulous and the monkeys came to play in the water while we were there, how fun!

The activities desk helped us arrange a snorkeling trip and tickets to the cable car and information about 7 wells. Cable car and 7 wells are within easy walking distance. They neglected to tell us that we needed to exchange the cable car ticket they gave us for an electronic card at the cable car station, so we waited in a long line and when we got to the front found that we didn't have the right ticket.

Service at the hotel is fine, but if you need anything out of the ordinary it starts to get dicey. Like a lot of things at this hotel, on the surface all is wonderful but if you start to scratch a little it starts to unravel.

Overall, very nice room, food not so great, service was excellent for the most part but lacking when pressed.

We went to Langkawi on the second leg of a two centre holiday. We chose the Berjaya after reading the posts on trip advisor. We were not disappointed. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. The cabins were clean and comfortable and the grounds were really well kept. Dev, a local naturalist and tour guide provides morning and evening nature walks. His passion for the conservation of Langkawi is infectious and he is committed to helping and advising the Berjaya resort. The beach was clean and safe and from the water you can hardly see the impact of the resort. There are plenty of resteraunts on the site and local ones are not too far if you have transport. Overall this resort is great for families and couples, it is as quiet or lively as you want. We would highly recomend it to those who want something a little bit different.

We spent two fantastic weeks staying at the Berjaya Beach Resort and it was pure paradise. The hotel is located on the side of a mountain that flows down to a beautiful private beach. The rooms are little wooden chalets nestled in the mountain. The reception area is impressive as you arrive in and what makes this hotel is the staff. They are amazing, from the girls at Reception, to the men who drive the little buses around the complex bringing you to your chalet to the boy in the towel booth and all the waiting staff in the various Restaurants. Our chalet was located right by the water, it was our second visit to this hotel so we were upgraded by the reception staff. We were booked for B&B and did not not let us down, breakfast was served daily until 10:30am, the choice was fantastic and the waiting staff were amazing. Then it was down to the Pool area or the Beach and both were great. There is a sunken pool bar which was good fun and they had a Half Price Offer on drinks every evening from 5pm until 7pm. There are 4 different restaurants in the hotel - Chinese, Thai, Main Reception which held Theme Nights and another one out in the water that served mainly Thai food. None of them let us down. We ate in the hotel most nights but did venture out to other parts of the island for food. It was incredibly cheap to eat in the hotel, around €15 for a meal for two including drinks whereas if you would pay around €10 if you went outside. There is a little marina around 5 minutes away from the hotel by taxi and there are amazing restaurants there where you can eat very cheaply. Sadly I took sick the second week of the holiday and here is where the staff really came into their own. The waiting staff in the Chinese noticed that I was not eating my food and asked what was wrong, when I explained, they came out with Tea and Toast and even got me some paracetomal. They then wanted to get the Hotel Doctor for me but I reclined. However, I had to visit the Doctor the following day and he was lovely, he gave me injections and tablets and it only cost €8. My husband ordered room service as I was stuck in the chalet for the next couple of days and he said it was fantastic, again all I had was tea and toast. The cleaning staff were constantly asking after me and kept coming up to me when I was out walking to see how I was feeling. Had to go back to Doctor again on last day of trip and he gave me more medication and would not charge me this time around. You feel as if you are part of a huge family in this hotel, all the staff are amazing and genuinely friendly and helpful and were extremely kind and considerate to me whilst I was feeling so ill. As I said we cannot fault this hotel and we'll be back again to stay for our third time sometime soon.
