- NinimariniKuala Lumpur, Malaysia19 contributionsGreat surprise!Really enjoyed my time at alun-alun. The Malaysian massage is something to be had if you likd deep tissue massage using thumbs mostly. The girls are strong but know how to apply pressure where needed. Best 1.5 hours spent today!Visited July 2020Traveled as a coupleWritten July 13, 2020
- Movies LLangkawi, Malaysia26 contributionsMassageJust did my massage here and the experience was good. The staffs were friendly and helpful. After registration and payment, I was served with warm tea and free cleaning of my feet. The masseur was professional and the strength was appropriate. One thing to be mentioned was the environment, it was clean, soothing and nice. Definitely would go back again. Thanks for the service.Visited March 2021Traveled soloWritten March 11, 2021
- Janelle TWoolooware, Australia47 contributionsLovely SpaProfessional and lovely staff. Very welcoming. We had the 90 mn massage and reflexology. Was only $60 Aus. Great value. Really good massage. The spa itself was very nicely done and lots of privacyVisited May 2023Traveled with friendsWritten May 20, 2023
- koolman3Leeds, United Kingdom1,874 contributionsNot sticking to plansI booked a full 3 hr package, agreed some things and paid deposit. On the day as soon as I paid the full amount and treatment started they changed certain things contrary to what had been agreed. I was in tempted to cancel and walk out but the young staff had already started. This change of plans and not sticking to agreement did not sit well with me. I was hoping to do 1-2 more sessions but I didn’t bother; I went elsewhere. As for the treatment, the staff worked very hard and were very helpful. The massage was reasonably good and the facilities above average.Visited January 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten January 27, 2023
- Bali BillPenang Island, Malaysia77 contributionsUnfortunately a DisappointmentWe visited Danai for the 1st time in 2019 and as my previous review stated, were delighted with the experience. We were able to sneak into Langkawi last year in between travel bans but visited their Bayview Hotel location in Kuah and again were delighted with the experience there. Unfortunately, this visit to the Pantai Cenang location was quite disappointing. Both my wife and I had difficulty getting comfortable when lying face down as it seems like they changed the cushion and neither of us could find a position that didn't put pressure on either our forehead or our chin. In the middle of the treatment, we could hear the staff talking in the foyer so I requested they turn on the spa music. Unfortunately, the system was not working. However, the most disappointing part of the experience was the full ashtray that was in the waiting area when we arrived. When we finished the treatment we returned to the waiting area for tea and the full ashtray was still there. We live full-time in Malaysia and accept that this is a different culture, but allowing smoking in a high-end spa, and/or failing to clean up after the smokers doesn't seem to me to be an acceptable practice. Alun-Alun is a great spa and I won't give up on them, but they need to remember that small details sometimes make a huge difference in a customer experience.Visited November 2021Written November 30, 2021

- Jane SMalaysia53 contributionsRelaxing massageMy daughter and I enjoyed our recent visit to the Alun Alun Spa. Although the place could do with a bit of TLC, the massages were very relaxing, and the place was clean. I will definitely return when I next visit Langkawi.Visited December 2021Traveled with familyWritten January 2, 2022
- Ella S34 contributionsBest facials and reflexology ( a must visit spa experience)I have just had a deep cleansing facial. It involved deep facial massage, steaming and vacuum suction of the skin. There was also a cleansing face mask as leg and back massage all included. The duration was 60 minutes 120 ringets Very relaxing and I felt for the first time ever that the facial was actually doing anything beneficial to my skin. And my skin felt amazing afterwards and incredibly clean. I have had many facials before in the Uk, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Mauritius and Dubai to name just a few. And I can honestly say that this was the best experience by a long way and don't think I will bother having more facials anywhere else because they are not even close to this and I will be disappointed. Prior to this treatment a few days ago I had a Malaysian facial which was very much the same but without the steam and vacuum. This was also excellent with a similar price. I have also had reflexology which again was excellent and relaxing. This is a must do if you are staying in the area. And will have more treatments before I leave. Incidentally the spa looks quite small from the outside but is actually quite big once you get inside with lots of lovely local decor and water features I cannot rate this place high enough : Thank youVisited June 2019Traveled soloWritten June 15, 2019
- chicseeSingapore, Singapore16 contributionsTerrible spa experienceWent to the one at Tropical Resort. Led to a room right next to the pool filled with a bunch of noisy swimmers. Made to put my clothes in a basket. No hangars. Aircon temperature was too cold for me. Especially when you have cold yogurt slathered all over you. Asked to turn it down but masseuse turned it up again after the wrap without consulting me. Scrub was poor, not thorough. Made to shower in a doorless bathroom. Masseuse swept floor and did some housekeeping while waiting for my 20 minutes wrap to be up. And then made me wait to continue with massage while she cleans the bathroom after my shower. Massage was ok. Hated that they played Chinese classic music. I am in Langkawi having a Balinese massage for God’s sake! At the end when dressing up, couldn’t find a single mirror in the room, not even the bathroom. I go to the spa on a monthly basis and whenever I travel. This is by far my worst experience. Was looking forward to a nice relaxing ME time and a snooze in between like I always do, but found myself being frustrated and wanting to leave halfway through. A first for me.Visited August 2018Traveled soloWritten August 1, 2018

Went to the one at Tropical Resort. Led to a room right next to the pool filled with a bunch of noisy swimmers.
Made to put my clothes in a basket. No hangars.
Aircon temperature was too cold for me. Especially when you have cold yogurt slathered all over you. Asked to turn it down but masseuse turned it up again after the wrap without consulting me.
Scrub was poor, not thorough.
Made to shower in a doorless bathroom. Masseuse swept floor and did some housekeeping while waiting for my 20 minutes wrap to be up. And then made me wait to continue with massage while she cleans the bathroom after my shower.
Massage was ok.
Hated that they played Chinese classic music. I am in Langkawi having a Balinese massage for God’s sake!
At the end when dressing up, couldn’t find a single mirror in the room, not even the bathroom.
I go to the spa on a monthly basis and whenever I travel. This is by far my worst experience. Was looking forward to a nice relaxing ME time and a snooze in between like I always do, but found myself being frustrated and wanting to leave halfway through. A first for me.

I went in with anticipation. The staff are very caring attentive and skilllled at what they do. Both myself and partner had all our pain spots dealt with. Can't recommend the wave massage enough!! The interior is beautiful and nothing is rushed

I had EFFA for half day treatment which consists of 7 different treatments. The highlight was the massage and the facial. The spa ambience is great and I loved that they served carrots and tea at the end of my experience. Very clean and would recommend
