The Datai Langkawi

5/5

We spent a few nights here recently, and what an experience it was! Of course, the resort has everything you expect from a top-of-the-line holiday resort: snappy and attentive service, quality furnishings, fine dining options. But the true value proposition for the Datai is the idea of five-star resort living ensconced in a million-year-old rainforest, with a beautiful sandy white beach at your doorstep. More than anything, the real artistry of the Datai is that they got the balance between Nature and Comfort just right. You will be constantly right up against Mother Nature herself, with hornbills and apes saying hi to you at the balcony of your room, while you say hi from the other side of the balcony door, enclosed in the air conditioned comfort of your room. A personal note: the day before we were about to leave, I stepped on a nasty sea urchin while wading through the beach. The staff were very quick to respond, helping me off the beach and ministering to the wound. Everyone was very kind and thoughtful, and I felt cared for. We had stayed at the Andaman some years ago, so we knew the beach was going to be amazing. But the overall experience of the Datai was truly something else. Highly highly recommended.
