We were looking for a quiet get away and we found it at the Datai. The service, amenities,and food were all excellent. Our chalet was beautiful and not overlooked at all so very private. We loved the quiet beach with a fabulous, friendly and accommodating staff. The downside of The Datai though is that you pay for it. This means... More

They say it's one of the two best hotels in whole Malaysia, and I can easily believe that. The hotel is set in the middle of rain forest, and I think the architects made their best to build the hotel into the natural environment and not vise versa. Forget about taking buggies to the beach, take a walk through the... More

We have just returned form the most wonderfully relaxing holiday at the Datai. Whilst not the most modern resort this 'jungle retreat' is so well maintained it deserves it's reputation. We loved the local feel...everything was just so fabulous. Gulai house is the best restaurant on the Island..we ate there every day so we could try everything o the menu.... More

We have just returned from our honeymoon in Malayisa, the highlight of which was The Datai. Spending a week here was just not long enough. Being honeymooners we were upgraded to a private villa which had the biggest bathroom I have ever seen. Villa 36 was hidden in the middle of the rainforest and was just gorgeous. We arrived to...

We stayed at the Datai just before Christmas last year and had a fantastic time. The whole resort oozes quality from the moment you step out of the cab. The most fantastic reception area you are likely to find, welcome drinks, superb attention to detail and every member of staff is extremely friendly and welcoming at all times. We were... More

We travelled here for our Honeymoon in August, and can't speak highly enough about our stay. Beautiful surrounding, amazing spa, and fantastic accommodation (we were lucky enough to have a private villa). From Chilled Champagne, fruit, flowers, and a handwritten card congratulating us on our marriage, to the spectacular spa with gorgeous treatments, and the wonderfully attentive and friendly staff,...
