Datai is a unique hotel. Mostly hidden in rainforest the villas are quiet and secluded and the service is excellent.Our beach villa had everything, enormous living area, seperate bedroom area, pool and beautiful gardens. Datai beach is just through the garden gate, safe swimming and at this time of year we were often the only ones in the water. Our "butler" Nazif did everything for us, presenting afternoon tea, organising dining arrangements, buggies and much more. It was hard to find a reason to leave our haven other than to eat. Big thank you Nazif. The 4 restaurants were all excellent offering a wide variety of cuisine and the happy, friendly staff were always keen to look after you. The Datai is up there as the overall, best hotel we have experienced in all our travels.

Outstanding nature resort
Outstanding Resort with one of the best beaches I have ever been too. Superb stuff and excellent food. While not a family resort, our 4 year old twin boys loved it and I can highly recommend it

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!

Impeccably maintained property in the rainforest, with true attention to detail. Lots to do with watersport kit available, mountain bikes, scheduled activities for the kids (painting, cooking, nature walls etc) and adults too (walks, culinary experiences, cooking classes, yoga, circuits, spa etc). Rooms were well-appointed with a comfortable bed. Fantastic staff. Food was of great quality too. A great week.away, would have stayed longer, and will definitely be back.

The Perfect Family Vacation
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.

Excellent experience!
Our stay at Datai was amazing overall - service was great from airport pick up all the way to our check out, staff were friendly and helpful. Resort is well maintained and very comfortable. The only thing is the lack of food options esp during lunch, but dinner at both Pavilion and Gulai were both excellent. Also got a bit busy towards the weekend with a lot of kids, which disturbed the overall peaceful ambience - would recommend visiting mid week for best experience.

Beautiful clean and quiet beach and bay. No annoying quad bikes or jet skis polluting the water and air, and creating noise pollution (very unenvironmental, hate Cenang Beach for those reasons). Amazing architectural design, in tune with the environment and organically done.

It was a excellent stay we had in datai hotel. Everything is close to perfect . We had a warm and friend welcome from Daniel , he explain everything in detail about the resort and all the information. The breakfast was good, especially the pastries. The foods at the pavilion was good with reasonable portions . The beach was okay, not as good as before. The canopy premium room is spacious and good for small family. I must say the services from the concierge to the housekeeping , the staffs were so professional. We will definitely come back. Keep up the good work datai.
