Hotels near Red Rock Beach, Langkawi

We’ve been regular repeat visitors to Pelangi Beach Resort since the early 1990s, when we used to bring our children. We make a point of driving to other new resorts in Langkawi whenever they pop up.. But nothing compares to Pelangi!! The beautifully landscaped, wooden chalet concept is like living in a village but with fantastic resort facilities. Staff are super helpful, friendly and hard-working. They always make us feel like we’re returning to see close family. We enjoyed the food buffets in the different restaurants, as well as the entertainment (Pelangi Lounge and Pelangi Grill). Not to mention the beautiful stretch of Pantai Cenang alongside the resort. Can’t rate Pelangi high enough, whether it’s for families or couples.

Very attentive and friendly helpful staff in entire hotel. Room is very spacious and clean, buffet breakfast is superb, nice coffee too. The locals there are also very friendly and always willing to help/guide the tourists and they are open to sharing information of Langkawi.

The room was spacious with a lovely view, and the bed was comfortable. However, it certainly didn’t look like a new hotel that’s been open for 12 months. The flooring, wardrobes and bathroom were tarnished and looked cheap. The grouting was yellow. However, it was still a relatively pleasant experience, albeit below expectations. Breakfast was standard, nothing special. Pool area was really lovely. Location is a strange one, a few minutes away from the beach, however it’s pretty quite around hotel. Also I was confronted by a pack of stray dogs about 150m from hotel, which put a damper on my stay. The lively town was 1.2 miles away.

There are few pros and cons points worth to be highlighted: Pros 1. Staff - all of the staffs are well trained and very polite. Cons 1. Check in - this is the first time as a local malaysian, I need to provide I/C for each of my family members who is going to stay here. When i asked the receptionist, she said it’s part of the resort policy as it is a so called “4/5 star resort”. (I never encountered this situation at other 4/5 stars hotel) It’s weird, but they do implement this policy 2. Breakfast - for a 4/5 star resort, the available menu is super basic and not meeting my expectations. Egg also ala carte with additional charges if you want to request extra 3. Room cleanliness - theres a lot of cockroaches here. Im not joking!! Summary Not recommended. With a total of almost RM600 per room per night spend, there’s a lot of better options.

Had a great time during my first visit. Such a great place for holiday and the best time to spend in Langkawi. Thanks for the hospitality and the wonderful food.

This hotel has an excellent location, making it very convenient for getting around. The staff are warm and friendly, providing outstanding service, especially the team in the children's playroom.

Had the best stay of our lives right here at Ritz Carlton! The entry level room is huge! We love everything about the room! The bathtub is absolutely huge. His and her sinks. Huge shower area as well. The resort itself is huge. Every restaurant is situated at its own building. Buggy services are available around the clock. Though wait time varies. The service from everybody is excellent. You will feel well taken care of. There is also ample privacy especially if you get their villa. Would definitely love to come back here again!

Absolutely love this staycation! Very enjoyable stay in the suite on water amidst the nature. Though there were some initial hiccups in terms of long waiting time with lunch and Dayang cafe and cleanliness with the jacuzzi, but the entire stay is filled with wonderful memories over this New Year 2025! Kudos to the staff for the Gala party!!
