This property is entirely unique. A stone’s throw from bustling Pantai Tengah, it is amazing how detached you can feel from the rest of the world when nestled in your canopy up in the rainforest. I came here for much needed relaxation after lots of travel, and Ambong delivered! It was so serene to sit on my terrace overlooking the distant water, watching the hornbills and monkeys. Breakfast was delicious and I also enjoyed dinner both nights at the Rimba restaurant. I also enjoyed a massage at the spa, and highly recommend it! The real cream of this experience was the staff who were so very kind and attentive. I will be back!

The atmosphere and the quirkiness. The willingness of the staff to make our stay more personal and look after us. (They remembered what we had to drink the day before). I liked the uniqueness of all the buildings and not being in a large chain hotel. I liked that drinking water was not in plastic containers. The breakfasts especially the vegan option was beautifully presented.

Not as much wildlife as I expected. Road Noise. Children at breakfast in a part of the resort where I didn't think there would be children. (no children on the retreat side of the resort was a feature that appealed). Quite hard to get transport, especially from the retreat. The access is challenging for vehicles, which may be why grab transport is not readily available. Getting to and from the room improved our fitness although staff were always willing to provide car transport around the property if available.

My room was so lovely and I loved the whole property. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. The staff was so willing to help - they promptly answered texts and were always available.

I scheduled a 90 minute massage and a 90 minute facial back-to-back. In other places I have been, this meant 90 minutes of actual treatment time. But I was done in 2.5 hours so I suspect that giving me tea and time to shower was part of the 3 hours. That was quite disappointing. I expected 90 minutes of treatment time, especially at the prices. The massage was also average. I asked for deep pressure and it was medium at best. And I think most of my shortchanged time was during the massage. It did not feel like it was 90 minutes.

First of all, the staff were very friendly and always accommodating. Thank you for making our stay so special. The included breakfast was easily the best breakfast of our two week trip to Malaysia. The vegan restaurant was the best restaurant we found on Langkawi. There is another restaurant with veggie/non-veggie options which was also good. We loved that the resort was located in the jungle along with all the wildlife and animals. It was beautiful and gave a unique vibe to the place. The hotel certainly felt more boutique when compared to the large hotels on the island which made it a much more personal experience. The swimming pool by the restaurant was great for a refreshing dip to chill. If you fancy, the beach is also just a three minute walk away. For going further afield Grab / e-hailing taxi is extremely convenient. The room itself was a great size and the bed was very comfortable. One touch I loved was that they offer ground coffee in the room rather than just instant. This is a small but much appreciated detail. We also loved the evening “turn-down” service in the room. It made our stay even more comfortable. It was also great that the checkout was at midday so we were not rushed to leave and then were able to stay an around after for lunch.

A lovely location tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah, but close enough to still make it easy to get in. The positioning of the accommodation tucked into the rainforest is peaceful and provides a lovely connection with nature. Studio suite was well appointed and comfortable. In particular, its worth noting the staff are extremely friendly and helpful (but make sure you have WhatsApp on your phone for communication). An upgrade to minimise impact of maintenance work was a considerate and unexpected bonus. Recommend staying here if you want a quiet place in a beautiful rainforest environment.

My husband and I visited Ambong Ambong during our honeymoon in Malaysia. We chose blindly and had no idea what we were getting into, but the accommodation at Ambong completely captivated us. It was only during our stay that we got to know the philosophy of the resort, which completely won us over. It is a peaceful oasis where you feel part of nature and the beautiful Malaysian jungle. The resort offers a space to reboot your mind and realize the beauty of the moment. This is complemented by great staff who are helpful, kind and always helpful. They also prepared a beautiful honeymoon decoration for our room. In addition to amazing massages, we also enjoyed breakfast in a vegan restaurant (although we are not vegetarians, the breakfasts were absolutely fabulous), yoga, soundhealing treatments and a romantic dinner in an attached restaurant with a sunset view. We definitely recommend Ambong to you, we recommend it to our friends and we would love to come back here one day.

Nothing.

Dear Ampong team, the resort is run with a lot of love and great hospitality. The food in both restaurants is fabulous. Especially the Rimba restaurant with its fantastic terrace for dinner is to be emphasized. The pool and the forest invite you to relax and the monkeys make you smile. We would especially like to thank Raj for his warm support in all matters, such as the valuable tips for the island and all the trips through the very steep resort. We could always rely on him. A big compliment to the whole team. We can warmly recommend the resort (for people who are good on foot and are looking for something special) Thank you very much for everything🥰

A wonderful luxury resort in the middle of the jungle, in contact with pure nature, the villa was very modern, incorporated with wood and natural materials, very comfortable and clean, the staff is incredibly friendly and everyone tried very hard to make my husband and I comfortable and beautiful. The food in the Rimba restaurant and the Pegaga restaurant was superb. The views with sunsets are breathtaking. I would absolutely come back. Monkeys come to greet you. Walking distance to a beautiful sandy beach. Thank you again mr. Ismail the manager of the resort and all the staff who tried to make us feel like we were in a fairy tale.

Very steep stairs around the resort, but they transport you anywhere you want in the resort for free, to restaurants or the pool or to the beach, and they come looking for you very quickly, my husband walked many times, I let myself be transported from door to door because of the humidity

From the moment we arrived, both drivers but especially Nizal, were so kind to show us around and drive us up and down the path to our rooms… we wouldnt have managed without. Rooms were out of this world and they were so kind to upgrade us. At breakfast nothing was too much to ask for and we had great fun chatting to Khairy. And we saw many wild animals from our balconies.. lizards, monkeys you name it. Such a peaceful escape on the edge of the island. Deffo reccomend staying here for 2/3 days and this mixing it with a more central hotel to get a good mixture of holiday vibes in Langkawi

Nothing. Keep it as it is. Its so precious
