Hotels with Swim-up Rooms in Malaysia

It was an amazing experience even for 1 night stay. From the moment of arrival to the checkout, the service was marvelous, the Rain-forest Villa was exquisite. I like the bathroom and the overall villa layout very much ! Breakfast was served in the villa, we felt like a royal for a day! Too bad it was raining season me and my son had just enough time to swim in the family pool before it rained. I wish to stay in the private pool villa some other time in the future.

We all love the nature (especially the wild animals) surrounding The Datai as well as its seclusion. To see a family of monkeys parading on the wall everyday and hornbills visiting you was such an experience. It also enables you to learn more about the rainforest. Because the children were in bed by 7.30pm we ordered the food from the restaurants to our room so that we could still eat together as a family. The food was exceptional - we think so anyway. The choices of our villa’s own private pool, the children’s/family pool and the sea means that the children spent both mornings and afternoons in outdoor water which was real treat for them.

From the moment we step into the property, I felt like I was transformed into another world of lush tropic jurrasic world. I remember saying it out loud, Is this heaven. The check in was fast, we were given map and explanation of the property by Zul (i cant remember) and nice welcome drink in a Malay traditional water container called Labu by Ain. Then we brought our welcome drink to the pool. The pool staffs are all friendly & amazing! We love the adult pool so much and spent most of our time swimming with the birds who flew for a dip in the pool after flying in the sun! Now the Datai Bay private beach, the Butterfly Park, the Datai Pledge team lead by Irshad Mobarak did an awesome job with the biodiversity project. I just hope there are more plants at the Botani Butterfly Park. We also want to try the Complimentary Water Sports activities, yoga, pilates, spa , cooking class, the beach educational program on Tuesdays and so much more! We end our day with a scrumptious Beef Ribs Rendang and signature Asam Pedas at The Gulai House! Azlan host us pretty well at the Gulai House. We wish to be back for their Chef Series with Michelin Star chefs series! I am so happy with my stay. The Datai, youre above and beyond magical!

Just book The Datai! I recently spent 10 unforgettable nights at The Datai—3 nights in a Rainforest Pool Villa and 7 nights in a Beach Front Pool Villa—and I didn’t want to leave. The outstanding service truly enhanced my stay—especially Rajat, who went above and beyond by facilitating our move to the Beach Front Pool Villa. If your budget permits, this upgrade is an absolute must! A huge thank you goes to Azhari, Adib, Sitina, Daba, and Natsaya for their outstanding service at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our butlers, Nashif and Ronald, were fantastic, and Khum at the security post always greeted everyone with a big smile and a friendly wave. I’m also grateful to Rajib for retrieving my three diamond rings that I’d left at the spa, and to Nisa and Joanna at the spa for a truly divine experience. Another highlight was learning about the local wildlife—Dev, Ritz, and Hame shared so much fascinating insight into the area’s fauna and marine life, making even the scorpions a memorable aspect of our stay! A special shout-out to Ashicor for driving my 5 and 7 year old sons around in the buggy whenever he had a spare moment—they said it was their favorite part of The Datai! Bring your kids to The Datai, they’re welcomed with open arms, kept safe, and there’s plenty of fun to be had. After a 10-year gap between visits, I won’t wait that long again. Congratulations to The Datai for an exceptional experience!

We stayed for a week and time flew by so quickly as we were so impressed and amazed by the service, environment, food and most of all the natural surroundings which were so amazingly blended together with everything The Datai had to offer. The first thing one would notice open arrival to the resort is how clean and well kept the property is and you never really see staff cleaning day in and out. No matter where you are around the resort, there's always someone ready to reach out to you. Ice creams by the pool, water sports, delicious cocktails, sumptuous food are the few things they do so well naturally. When it comes to food, they are second to none. Whether it's Thai at the Pavilion, Grill at Beach Club or a variety of curries and rendang at The Gulai House; you'll have a hard time finding something you don't like. Bfast was something we looked forward to each morning. The best locals offer like Roti Canai and Fried Noodles to Foie Gras on toast to perfectly made French Toast. 7 nights felt like 3. The rooms were always so clean. For a frequent traveller, you can tell the amount of detailing in the little things like your room amenities which are eco friendly, the scent of your bath soap and shampoo to the slippers you were offered which are not the boring white ones you get in all other hotels. How do they keep the place so clean and smelling so good all the time? We are so amazed. On the day we checked out, we already made plans to return at the next holiday. TQ to TDL.

Great hotel, very clean, fantastic ocean villa with private pool, very tasty breakfast, service can be better as they are not properly trained, but overall an amazing stay!

Room - bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the room temperature perfect. Breakfast - Variety of foods to choose from and the staff were extremely kind, friendly and helpful. Pool - The pool was clean, and the poolside snacks were fabulous. Restaurant - The piano player was an added bonus.

Pool is amazing, sooooo relaxing! Service is superb. Amazing pool set up with buzzers for waiter service to your lounger, pool bar, nice towels and not overcrowded.

Stayed 5 nights in a princess beach villa and on the whole excellent service, with one or two things that let it down - we asked for a table to be reserved at the Terrace but it wasn’t made and upon appearing for dinner, no table for us, hastily thrown together which was very disappointing, and a bit embarrassing having to ask for condiments, cutlery etc. Beach villa was lovely esp the pool, not cheap but worth it for the peace and privacy. In room dining was good and arrived quickly, not an extensive choice but good enough. Breakfast was varied and plentiful. The buffet dinner was also varied and hot, with an excellent range of cuisines. Mini bar topped up daily, but fresh milk needs requesting if you enjoy tea/coffee. Our arrived in a tiny jug, but that was solved by requesting a whole carton instead. Two sun beds reserved in the beach for each villa which was lovely at the end of the afternoon. We didn’t use the main pool but it was always busy. The hotel has a range of trips and experiences on offer but we sourced our own. Staff very friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble, although we did need to chase up some items of laundry, not a big deal. Taxis/Grab easily available, the SkyCab is close and very enjoyable. On the whole, it was very enjoyable and relaxing with one or two things that let it down for us. Not the cheapest hotel on the island but for a treat, it met our needs despite one or two issues. We would return without a doubt.

This is a beautiful hotel and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Our luggage was lost by the airline for 2 days and they couldn't do enough to try and help us track it down and make our stay as comfortable as possible in the meantime. The island is beautiful but has clearly been impacted by COVID, we expected shops and restaurants to be in walking distance of the hotel but in reality your only choices are to eat at the hotel or travel to other nearby hotels to eat in their restaurants if you want a bit of variety. The food in the hotel is excellent, even the buffet is very good quality and plenty of choice to cater for all tastes. The hotel is very popular with families so is not ideal for couples as there is no dedicated adults only pool, meaning you don't get much peace and quiet relaxing by the main pool. The hotel could also do more to be environmentally friendly, eg installing water refill points instead of handing out hundreds of plastic bottles. Overall a lovely stay and definitely recommended if you're visiting Langkawi

Very luxurious, great private pool access to the hotel beach Big room They have restaurant any think you want is there

The complimentary services and hospitality. The service ls a provided was splendid and efficient, it made our stay very pleasant. We took the private pool villa and it was wonderful.

The overall experience is pretty amazing. The room is very comfortable and the private pool is great if you have kids tagging along.The food is exceptionally good all-round. We have breakfast, rood service and order from Pantai grill. All are of high quality.

The room was fantastic. It was noted as a "plunge" pool, but it was much larger. The set-up was great - no need to leave our area. The breakfast was great - lots of variety. The thing that sets this resort a part is the staff. They were all exceptionally kind and helpful. Really made for a wonderful stay.

Our stay at The St. Regis Langkawi was an unforgettable experience, marked by amazing hospitality and luxurious accommodations. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with warmth. Our experience started on a high note with a seamless check-in process. The staff member who assisted us was extremely professional and welcoming. The Butler Service further elevated our experience. Also understanding our dietary preferences, the chef personally prepared delicious Indian vegetarian meals for us. The private plunge pool was perfect for our family, allowing us to relax in complete privacy. If you’re looking for a family-friendly luxury retreat with outstanding hospitality, this resort is an excellent choice.

we rented the 2 bedroom Villa. it has amazing view beachfront, and amazing size and facilities including indoor jackuzi, outdoor private plunge pool, outdoor seating.

I stayed at a 2bedroom beach front villa with a private pool the size was great and the view was unbelievable

Excellent, sprawling property with vast, expansive and beautiful beach. Very low density development, so never feels crowded. Three excellent restaurants, especially the Indian restaurant (Hava) was the best for us. Service is excellent - they are willing to go the extra mile with a smile! The beach villa with plunge pool is directly on the beach - this is the best way to enjoy this gem of a property.

The beach and the view is absolutely amazing. We stayed for nights and the breakfast was amazing although it can feel a bit repetitive after the 2nd day. They do change some of the dishes though. The staffs behavior are on another level. Extremely welcoming very warm and very helpful. Both of our kids (8G and 10B)also had an amazing time. They were either cycling (complimentary) or at the kids pool, which by the was very safe and did not need any supervision or they were busy at the kids club which is supervised by their lovely staff. Then we also had dinner by the beach, the food was simply outstanding just wish we could have enjoyed the food but couldn't due to mosquitos and insects biting on us. Hopefully the concern department can take care of this issue. They have two pools one is dedicated to adults only and then there is the family pool. I honestly loved the idea of having a private cavana right infront of the pool. You can lovedovey and all romantic with the missus all in your own little private area where no one can peek. We really enjoyed it.

Peacefulness, quiet, calm, luxury comfort but not over the top. No sensory over load, no loud music in breakfast area/restaurants/pools, but good taste and beauty in terms of architecture, decor, colouring, materials, landscaping, service. No cars. There are langur monkeys and lovely birds just outside your room. It is not crowded, but secluded and atmospheric. Upper room with sea view was beautiful with an indoor jacuzzi, superb bed and bathroom. Even though the same building has four units, no sounds or disturbance can be heard from the neighbours. Service was great, respectful and considerate. The area is vast and there are bicycles to get around. Tennis court is great, with the possibility to borrow the rackets and balls. Spa looked great, though I didn't use it at the end. Food in Ikan Ikan was very tasty. Can recommend also the in-room dining burger, but not the pizza. Drinking water is complementary and available at the room, pools, gym.

Having multiple pool areas including adults only area is brilliant. Our room had a private pool and that was a fantastic addition. The staff and the servicing of the rooms was incredible.

Amazing 5 star resort. Like heaven on earth. Facilities and room was 10/10. Had a 12th floor room with private pool looking over the sea. Staff were amazing

The view was superb and mesmerizing. I like the concept of private pool there.

Mr Nawawi facilitate our arrival till our departure in perfection. We were treated like we are the VVIPs. The view from our room was stunning and we chose the one with private pool. The only thing that we regretted was didn’t extend our stay (3D2N) at least for another day. Perhaps that’s a valid reason to come for another visit. Overall, a great experience and grateful for the treatment received. Thank you once again

My wife and I spent four unforgettable nights at Parkroyal Langkawi as part of our honeymoon, and it was easily the best hotel experience we've ever had. We booked the Private Pool Ocean View Room, which was absolutely exceptional. They left us a complimentary cake with a very nice message and a flower for our honeymoon as well as room decorations, we loved the small gesture. The view from our private pool opened directly onto the ocean, allowing us to enjoy stunning sunsets every evening in complete privacy—an experience we’ll never forget. The room aside, the entire hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. Everything was spotless, and it’s clear the hotel takes great pride in maintaining its facilities. While we didn’t use the main infinity pool, it looked amazing and also offers a beautiful ocean view. The location is perfect—just a 5 to 10-minute walk to the Pantai Cenang beach. Plus, there are several supermarkets right across the street that stay open until 1 AM, which was super convenient. All in all, Parkroyal Langkawi delivered a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and service. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

Clean and spacious rooms ( we stayed in Penang 1 ) with a nice atmosphere. Excellent swimming pool / pool area. Enjoyable bar area and super breakfast. We celebrated new years eve in the hotel and enjoyed a very nice dinner with a live band. The resort has a very nice collection of fine wines. Irene, Ms.K and other personal made it a memorable stay. The hotel is conveniently close to Cenang Beach ( 2$ by taxi or a 20min walk ).

I booked a solo trip to Langkawi and chose to stay at the Temple Tree Resort because it looked like a quiet place with character. I was in search of complete relax after an extremely stressful time at work and the Temple Tree Resort provided this opportunity largely exceeding my expectations from day one. I was kindly upgraded to the Estate 3 room, which was very spacious and comfortable.The lush garden is so well maintained that you would never leave the outside bench where you sit to read a book in the shade. If you like swimming, the garden pool is never crowded and allows you to have a few laps in peace. The service provided by Minie at the reception was absolutely outstanding, and Irene will make sure that everything runs smoothly during your stay. The internal restaurant and bar, Paloh, is top notch, with Raymond looking after you to make sure you don't miss out on your complimentary drinks and facilitating the interaction between guests. Mention of honour for the bartender, Mal, for pulling out a perfect Negroni Sbagliato upon special request, but all the resort Staff will go the extra mile to ensure that you enjoy every moment of your stay at Temple Tree. I will be back!

We had the most wonderful family stay at Temple Tree Resort, and it was nothing short of magical. We stayed in the Jodor House, a beautifully restored 100-year-old Chinese wooden house that’s bursting with character and charm. Every detail felt authentic – from the intricate woodwork to the gentle creaks and whispers of the old timber. We loved every part of it! The house is stunningly furnished, blending tradition with comfort. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the open-air wooden bath was a unique and unforgettable highlight – such a serene and luxurious experience. The staff were outstanding – warm, attentive, and genuinely kind, which made our stay feel even more special. The on-site restaurant was fantastic, with delicious food and a lovely ambiance. And the pool area? Absolutely beautiful and perfect for relaxing. This place has a soul. It’s not just a resort, but an experience – peaceful, inspiring, and full of charm. We had an absolute bliss and would come back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful well run resort. We stayed in Plantation One which had a lot of character. The bed was very comfy, there was a separate room with sofa, tea making facilities which were topped up every day & a fridge. The bathroom was huge. It perhaps needed a little tlc but functioning wise was absolutely fine. The breakfast was amazing in a beautiful setting & there was a drinking water machine close to reception. The pool was also fabulous although needed better access as it was not so easy to get in & out. Once in it was idyllic. Towels were provided. Sunbeds were always available & in such a peaceful setting. We ate here on 2 evenings & the food was fab & the service really friendly. Location wise it is a bit of a walk to Chenang beach but we did do it & if you have your own transport it’s not a problem. You can hire scooters from the hotel too.

As a family we stay away from the massive resorts and if you seen the same: this is the place to go! Staff was really great (especially Ms K and Raymond), food also delicious (both western and Asian) and the rooms fantastic. The manager (Italian lady) has things really well in hand and the lush garden surrounding the pool and different houses made it a really pleasant stay and vibe. With the garden/trees the temperature was also a bit friendlier compared to the beach, which is a few minutes scooter 🛵 ride away (they have a couple that you can rent). Some kids, some pensioners, some couples, all were happy as the atmosphere was really open without creating an environment where you felt you had to mingle. So all in all a big Thank you to the team!

The location was incredible as were the views from the room and the rooftop bar and pool area. It is an extremely lovely hotel with really great staff. The room was clean and there were no issues. It was def the best location to experience beautiful Langkowi. Well worth the money. I would def go there again. Soo many restaurants and bars near by wirh quick convenient access to the beach. But the best was definitely the rooftop bar and pool area. We spent everyday there enjoying the pool and sauna.

The rooms were clean, modern, and spacious, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with genuine smiles and outstanding hospitality. Check-in was quick and effortless, and throughout our stay, the service was some of the best we have experienced anywhere in Oceania, Europe, or North America. The buffet breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety of options including Asian dishes, local specialties, western favorites, freshly squeezed juices, and a great selection of tropical fruits. The rooftop pool and poolside bar were highlights, with stunning views and plenty of comfortable seating to relax, enjoy a drink, have a snack, and watch the sunset. The property is also within walking distance of several local restaurants, some with live music, providing convenient dining options. The complimentary airport shuttle service was an added bonus, making travel to and from the hotel very convenient.

Nice view. Very welcoming. The pool on the roof is the best thing about the hotel. Very nice sunbeds with thick mattress and nice palms. Nice pool food menu. Big room with bathtub. Free transport (not needed) to the beach. Hotel is a chill place to stay. Good WiFi. Cool fridge. Gym has perfect view that makes you train harder, towels and free water. Clean. Near the best restaurant in Langkawi (Cactus).

Fabulous suite with great views and lovely bathroom. Restaurant was excellent with lovely decor giving Ivy vibes, great food and wonderful staff. Recommend the pasta carbonara. Loved the rooftop pool and bar - comfy seating, lots of shade, good sized pool, amazing views, great cocktails and the nachos are best we’ve had.

Pros:This 5 star property has everything starting from location comfort amenities and friendly stuff.The pool area is huge with jacuzzi facility.The view from the pool area is beautiful. Cons:The 4th floor has breakfast area and there should be more varieties.

Private pool with seaview, it awesome! Clean, comfort it strategic location for vacation in Melaka.

Owners were helpful with our late check in! Accoms was simple, cosy, and comfortable for our group of 6! Would come back again for their suite with private pool!👍🏻

We had a great experience that we also extend the booking for another nighttt! The room was very cozy and nice. We were so sad we couldn’t enjoy it much because we had to visit melaka. BEWARE : Before booking the ensuite make sure you have a small planning because the suite was so nice we wanted to stay in bed and in the pool lol :)

The apartment came with all the requirements that is expected of a home. Rooms were perfectly catered for our family with 3 kids. Each room has its own suite bathroom. Generous in the towel, pillows. Great city view at night and a cozy place to relax outside the balcony watching over the kids in the small pool.

Hotels give me a bed, shower and toilet, kitchen, wash machine. That is it for me. I have stayed in some really nice hotels, but the best part of staying in a hotel is PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL.

The Swim Up Bar has a wonderful panoramic view. The Spa is set well away from the main hotel and is supremely quiet and relaxing. The over sea bar and restaurant, that the Westin shares with St Regis, is a magical spot at night.

Swim up bar with view of the sea and sunset. Beach kept vey clean. Fabulous, spacious Spa.

Absolutely stunning property and villas. Spacious rooms, great decor, added bonus of a private pool. Great pool areas Own private beach Friendly staff Excellent kids play area Great food. Very child-friendly.

Nice place for couples with amazing private pool

Impressive quick service, they respond to requests within minutes. I stayed with my family at a one bed room villa that has an amazing private pool + access to beach , food is amazing also all outside & beach activities are great! Surprisingly they have a free lounge in the waiting area in Langkawi Airport which was a huge plus after the wonderful vacation

Everything. We got upgraded to King on our day 1. The private pool was an added bonus!

Overall the whole experience was really good. Good location. Good comfortable beds, bathtub, hot shower. Breakfast is good, quite a selection of food. We booked a junior suite, and it came with a living room and a small private pool,

Stayed in the Junior Suite with private pool for 6 nights in November 2019. Location was fantastic with easy access to beach (5 min walk) and excellent food options nearby. The included breakfast was great and enjoyed by all. The suite itself was comfortable and the private pool was perfect for my young kids (5 yr and 3yr old). Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!
