Best Hotels in Pangkor Laut Island, Malaysia

My husband and I chose to have our honeymoon at Pangkor Laut Resort two days after our wedding, and it was the best trip of our lives so far. We had a good first impression of the resort even before we reached the resort. We had arranged in advance for land transfer from Ipoh airport to Marina Island Pangkor, and we thought to have the driver pick us up at 10am even though our flight landed at 8.30am (just in case we faced delays with our flight or at immigration) but we were surprised when he was already waiting for us when we landed at 8.30am. After a 1.5h road trip from the airport to the office, we were welcomed with a refreshing drink and towel, and was then escorted to PLR on a speedboat with one other couple (which made us feel special, haha). Upon arrival at the resort, we were again welcomed with a little refreshment and had a staff attend to us immediately, helping us to plan our itinerary for the rest of the week that we were staying there. As we were still early and the rooms were not ready, we had lunch at the Feast Village and then rested in the library, which was very cosy with a good selection of books (only downside was there were so many house lizards, though I am not sure if anything could be done to prevent them from coming). Our room at the Garden Villa was wide and spacious, and we received a congratulatory drink from the resort to celebrate our wedding as well. (It was a nice gesture, but nothing could compare to the attentiveness of the different staff we met over the week, who, upon noticing the henna stains on our hands, congratulated us warmly in person). We also loved that the Garden Villa was so near to the Feast Village and Uncle Lim's Kitchen, which we kept going back to for breakfasts, lunches and dinners, as the food options across the two kitchens were varied and more importantly, delicious. The service at the kitchens were also amazing - Chef Liza was so friendly and approachable that she made us feel at home, and Masum and Nadim went out of their way to make each dining experience feel special for us (such as seating us at places where we would have unobstructed views of the beach, and offering to take photos of us without us even thinking of it). Other experiences we had at the resort were going for the jungle walk, swimming at Emerald Bay and having lunch at Chapman's Bar, and yoga. However, our favourite activity on the resort was going for the spa experience. It was so refreshing and phenomenal, and truly, no other spa can beat PLR's spa. We were pampered from head to toe, and the different bath experiences set the spa apart from other spas out there. The staff were also so knowledgeable and generous with sharing what they know, that both my husband and I learnt so much about the natural ingredients used in our sessions. Definitely made the experience more meaningful and personal for us, and after a hectic wedding weekend, the spa made us feel well rested and rejuvenated. We also got a free room upgrad

Didn't know what to expect and since I booked late, I ended up choosing this hotel as it was located at the popular Pasir Bogak beach. I have not heard of the hotel (it is brand new). However I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. We were welcomed by the hotel owner himself who was running the hotel himself as the hotel has just opened a month ago. This is a 2.5 / 3 star hotel but very comfortable and offers excellent value for money. Take note that this is a new hotel and there are some work is still going on. For example when we visited the restaurant is yet to be up and running and a few external work still going on. Also taxi drivers don't know the hotel. You can mention that the hotel is right next to the school at Pasir Bogak. Pro : 1. Value for money 2. Located right at the Pasir Bogak beach (2 min walk) 3. Clean, safe and well equipped 4. Excellent and high-quality fitting and furniture 5. Good aircond 6. Very friendly and helpful staff 7. Indoor swimming pool (the kids loved it) Cons: 1. Rooms are a bit small for families 2. Some fittings are missing (simple things like racks, hangers, etc) - but the owner assured it will be taken care.

We were group of 12 adult and 10 children stayed for one night in sandy beach resort. Didn’t had much expectations before we arrived the place, but after stay everyone felt not leaving the place. Resort is very well maintained, clean and neat. Rooms were cleaned well and are in good conditions, understood most of the rooms were refurbished and all well maintained . Aircon was super cool. All rooms had smart tv with good wifi connection. We had all meals in the resort- 1 dinner , 1 lunch and complimentary breakfast. Dinner and Lunch was arranged for our group for the items which we asked and all items were adequate quantity and tasteful. Thanks to chef Haidi and team for taking care. We all liked the food served. Resort is currently understaff due to pandemic and they are slowly increasing staff, however who ever were available took care each one of us. Thanks to William and team for the hospitality. Beach near resort is clean and there are water sport activity available which we can enjoy. Pool is also good and kids had a gala time. Will definitely love to be back in future.

Great care is taken to ensure guests experience comfort through top-notch services and amenities. Remain linked during your visit by utilizing the complimentary internet access available.The resort offers complimentary parking for guests who arrive with their own mode of transport. In limited designated zones, smoking is exclusively permitted. Indulge in the numerous pursuits available at Thara Hotel & Resort . During your stay, the resort provides direct access to a beach, ensuring you remain near the sea throughout your visit.

We have just completed a 6 night stay at this lovely hotel and can thoroughly recommend it. We were allocated room 62 which was everything we wanted, very spacious with a big bed and a strong warm shower. It also had a front facing balcony with a sea view. A big than you to the cleaner who serviced our room very well, it was always immaculately clean and smelled very nice. The breakfast choice was just right, a egg station was available for choice of eggs, there was also a noodle station and my favourite...Roti Canai. The staff in the dining room were quick to clear tables and all the food tasted nice, so thank you to the chefs and the staff. The reception staff were always available and very pleasant, it was also good to have a permanent security guard at the front of the hotel, he was always smiling and helpful, a very nice man. Thank you for your assistance with our luggage and helping us park our motor cycle etc. The hotel also has a very nice swimming pool and loungers, with towels available. So really it ticks all the boxes for a great stay and the nightly price rates are very reasonable. I can highly recommend this hotel.

You get what you paid. I booked and stayed at Bayu Villa with the beach view for 3 nights. At first I personally didn't put a very high expectation on this resort because of the rate was relatively cheap. But to my surprise I found my stay was pleasant and satisfying. The Bayu Villa was spacious and the bed was comfy. However they need to refurbish the room interior and put an extra afford to ensure the cleanliness of the room before letting the guest check in. From my personal point of view, this resort is for a lower or middle class guest and if you're a type of so called classy guest and expecting a perfect getaway, please do not book this resort. But if you're a simple type and just wanted to enjoy the pool and the beach, I am highly recommended this resort. I spent my final 2 night having a dinner at their coffeehouse and I was really enjoying my meals eventhough it was very limited choices from the ala-carte menu. Here are my comments on things to improve 1- Please enhance the pool cleanliness, there were a lot of beach sand inside the pool. Maybe because there are no restrictions or regulation of swimming attire by guest. 2- Please improve the Wifi signal quality especially for Bayu Villa area. 3- Improve on the breakfast choices and menu. Overall, for the price that I paid, I am satisfied.

I stayed at the place for the 4th time simply because of its great location (across the the street from Pasir Bogak beach), big-spacious-comfortable rooms, big-spacious-open surrounding, reasonable price & super-nice owner. Then one might ask what's the improvement needed? 2 of them IMHO (since I like this place so much) : One, the house keeping should be a little more alert of their duty. Don't have to wait for the guest to ask for make-up rooms. Do it. Swipe. Clean the verandah. change the toilet paper and other necessary things. Two, tv reception must be improved. Don't have to put lot of channels. About 3 would do but make sure they are ”watchable” - no ”ants” or ”course sugar” on the channels/programs. Believe me, between activities, guests would very much appreciate a nice relaxing-tv-watching activity while resting in their rooms. I would. Really hope that on my 5th stay, things will be better. Overall, thumbs up to the Mr. Vijay & Mdm. Kamala (owners). The both of you are good people.

This is my first trip to Pangkor Island. I had book this hotel last minute in Agoda after I bought the ticket for last ferry 7.15pm from Marina to Pangkor. I had choose this hotel because I had see the review is not bad with 5star review for all the review in year 2020 and they rank 5th for overall best hotel in Pulau Pangkor. When I arrive at the hotel, there is nobody there for me to do the check in. I am thinking the staff maybe out to buy or having their dinner. But after a while 2 of the staff is back in the property and told me they are not expecting any guest so they went out to buy dinner. After thinking a while, it is not surprise as they not expect anyone today. First I only do the booking not long ago so they may not had received the email from Agoda. Second, today Malaysia recorded the highest day for people infected with Covid-19. As this 2 reason, they sure will not expecting any guest for the day. But this not concern me at all, because I am having great time while staying at this hotel. Below are all the reason which I will highly recommend this hotel to who had read my review here. 1. The hotel rate is reasonable. The room is chalet/villa type which the room rate is cheap. 2. This hotel had been newly renovated so it is cosy to stay. Please do not read any review before year 2020. They had renovated the hotel in 2020, all the furniture is new and the stay is cosy. 3. The staff and management is very friendly. They will assist you in what they can. 4. There is a fews bicycle to use for free at the hotel. 5. The location is very good. Walking distance to the Pasir Bojak Beach. And there is a lot of Chinese and Malay restaurant nearby. (Fully recommend “Chao Seng Seafood Rstaurant” nearby) 6. There is a few motor bike or car rental outside the hotel which for sure will be convenient for you to ride around the island. (Recommend to take a bike and you can ride the bike for island tour) I feel so relax and happy for my 3d2n trip while staying at this hotel. Will come back to stay here for my next trip to Pangkor Island again. Again, Tripadvisor had not disappointed me when I am searching for a hotel stay to a place which I am not familiar. I hope with my review I can make this property to more higher ranking so that everyone will be happy to discover this hotel.

Near to beach and a lot of food stalls❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This hotel is very close to bogak sand beach! Just walk for about 2 minutes, and can directly reach the beach. The hotel is spacious, the pool is also available for children and adults, around the hotel there are food stalls that are very easy to access, the distance from the main pier to the hotel also takes about 5 minutes by taxi. And if you're lucky, you can see some hornbills perching on the coconut trees inside the hotel. I was lucky to see 2 hornbills playing on a coconut tree. Disadvantages of this hotel, cleanliness and cheerfulness. Cleanliness 5/10. In our room, there are only 2 lamps that work, it can be said that 80% of the remaining lamps are not working. There is also a television, but there is only one broadcast. The room smells a bit musty, maybe because the carpet in the room has not been cleaned for a long time. Would I stay here again? Probably yes. Would I recommend to my friends? Probably yes.
