The Andaman, a Luxury Collection Resort, Langkawi

I am truly in awe of this resort. The rooms are beautiful, the beach is stunning with calm, crystal clear waters. The property is surrounded by lush forests and mountains making for picture perfect scenery and so many beautiful birds and monkeys that you feel like your living on a wildlife sanctuary. More importantly, and i tear up as i write this, but what absolutely made this trip outstanding, was the beautiful and kind staff. They went above and beyond throughout our entire trip and truly made us feel like family. I will never forget my experience here, and already can't wait to come back again and again!

Had a very pleasant stay at the Andaman. Every staff was so friendly and personable, from the security at the gate, the check-in, the room service, the person who hands out towels at the pool, the restaurants, the random staff walking by, the guy at the coral nursery... Very nice rooms, and everything you would expect in a good hotel to provided, coffee machine, tea, etc. (We didn't get the DVD player to work, but who uses DVD nowadays.) The beach has clean fine sand, and very private. The slide in the pool is a hit for kids and adults. The coral nursery was a little smaller than I expected. We walked over to have a look before the 1030am guided tour time, and yet the staff there was very welcoming and provided an introduction to what they have there. Loved the restaurants, great food, great staff/service. If you are looking for fast food, go to a McDonalds. A bit of a drive (40min) from the airport, but worth it. A nice place to relax, if you are looking for loads of activities, go to Club Med.

Location location location!!! This resort is secluded on datai beach in the jungle. Definitely an amazing experience spending a few days here. Facilities are well maintained, room was lovely and modern, bathroom was very nice and the bath products are superb. Food was decent... breakfast was average and most of the meals I had were good but not amazing. I think they may dull the flavor for a western palette but I wish they served more authentic Malay food. I have had better outside the resort at small hole in the wall restaurants. Definitely recommend you check out this amazing resort and experience the comfort in the jungle!

This was an excellent stay. I went there for snogging and the service didn't disappoint me at all. I was very pleased with every aspect - excellent surroundings, fabulous service, amazing infrastructure and much more. The beaches were stunningly beautiful and worthy of a 1.5 hour trip from the city centre. I would definitely be going there again. Overall, fabulous resort and I couldn't anticipate higher of this place.

In a rather isolated part of the island which made it all the more wonderful for me. The lobby was gorgeous and massive, it was the perfect welcome anyone could hope for. The service staff is top notch, the hospitality they provided was one of the best we encountered, everyone asked how our day was and they were eager to please, all except the water sports hut guy who looked like he just woke up. But no harm done, he did what he could. The rooms were big, unfortunately the views to the sea were a little blocked. The bathroom was beautiful and spacious. Some corners of the room looked a little old and worn, but it wasn’t a big deal. Electronic plugs were available on only one side of the bed which was strange. The resort has plenty of activities prepared for the guests, which was good because there’s nothing else around the hotel. The breakfast was also amazing, with everything one would want in a buffet breakfast.

Lovely hotel, lovely staffs & tons of activities (from snorkeling to jungle adventure - which suitable for kids as well) at the hotel day by day. If you are looking a peaceful relaxing trip by the beach, this hotel is definitely for you. Private beach, beautiful view off shore. Food is nice at the restaurants, great stay!😋

Came here for the major part of my honeymoon. There were some aspects of the hotel rooms which could have done with a little bit of refurbishment, but in general it was the most amazing place ever. The staff were very helpful, informed and friendly. The food was served generously and was of excellent quality. The beach and the amazing rain forest surrounding the resort were second to none, even despite the sea jellies which brought swimming in the sea out of the question.

I have been travelling around the world and this is the best hotel I have ever stayed at. You are enjoying lush nature and luxury. I could see leaf monkeys straight from my balcony. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The food variety is amazing and the breakfast is 10 out of 10 (so is the Japanese restaurant). I hope this hotel will be open again as it is definitely on my list to come back to

*** A solid 4.5-star vacation resort hotel. *** Andaman is very relaxing. It's nestled along the beach of the Datai Bay, a rather remote location. So it feels fairly isolated and luxurious as well. I recommend requesting their BMW from airport. A 30-minute sporty ride across winding two-lane roads thru thick vegetation to finally climb a hill to reach the entrance is a fun way to start R&R. All the staff is gracious and courteous always. The mahogany wood throughout this resort really makes it blend well into its jungle-like surroundings on one side, while a sandy beach is on the other side where most rooms located. There are several fine restaurants available ... Beach Bar, Buffet, Seafood, Malay & Japanese. My faves were the Malay and Seafood. Malay chef cooks specialty dishes daily in addition to regular menu. Each time he did not disappoint. Seafood restaurant offers only fish caught daily. We had a large crimson snapper fried: amazing. The accompanying veggies were equally good. I could go on and on about the wildlife, nearby beach towns just 30-mins away, neighboring islands just a short sail away, the reef, etc. Suffice to say that it offers lots of activities. Or just hit the gym where there is free weights, elliptical & treadmill machines, spin bikes and yoga classes too. A trainer is always available. *** Lastly not very expensive, so me likes. ***

Dreadful Experience trying to inquire and book. Showed up at the nearby Golf course, was encouraged to book a room for a golf package. Rode to entrance of Andaman to inquire, guard had no knowledge about anything except "guest only, call or book online" Drove down the hill to find cell phone spot, called and a offsite booking agency answers with little knowledge about amenities. Was told to call back and and "do not press any options to reach onsite front desk. Tried and got the same results. Terrible Terrible treatment for a potential guest. For god sake in a third world country in a remote area make yourself available with either communication at the gate or a connection with a world famous golf course.

The best resort I have ever stayed at. My husband and I went to the St. Regis Bora Bora for our honeymoon. This was better. For the record, I've been Starwood Platinum for years and have stayed at a ton of properties. None have impressed me as much as this. ROOM: We had a sea view room, room 249. One of my favorite rooms ever. Not very large, but smartly designed. An awesome corner couch that is super comfortable overlooking the ocean. The bathrooms come with a tub. The bed is very large. There are cushions to put your luggage on top of. Minimalist without being overly so. BREAKFAST: Hands down, the best buffet / hotel breakfast I've ever been to. Where do I even begin? - All eggs are made to order. There are no trays of premade eggs! And, you can get poached eggs to order - 15 sauces for your pancakes / waffles! Vanilla sauce, chocolate sauce, male syrup, honey, jams, everything you can possible want - Tons of cuisines. You can get traditional Western (bacon, sausage, hash brown), traditional Chinese (congee with all the fixings including centuries old egg), traditional Malay, traditional Indian, Halal, and then spreads upon spreads - lox, crudités, yogurts, and more BEACH: Super soft sand, bath temperature ocean water LOUNGE CHAIRS: Tons of different seating options. The traditional wicker loungers were some of the best we've ever laid on. They have tons of daybeds and lounge seating. There is no paying extra fees to get a good view or a group seat. HAPPY HOUR: 20-30% off, depending on the temperature in Celsius WILDLIFE: Out of this world. Tons of rare species including the world's only flying primates. Free guided nature walks PRICING: For Americans. This will feel cheap. $20 for getting two appetizers and two drinks at the pool. $40 for dinner for two. POINTS: At 12,000 SPG points, I think this is the best price/value redemption in the world We really cannot imagine a better resort or any way to improve on this experience. This is the best getaway experience in the world

This is probably my fave SPG resort of the whole world! The staff here really makes it a difference here. Also smiling and welcoming. The only drawback of the place was it is far from the town, about 45 min drive, so we had a hard time getting a GRAB ( like Uber) driver here. One time we were almost running late to our tour, and the taxi was taking too long to get there. The transportation manager asked his employee immediately and thankfully we got a ride. Big shout out to our driver Zam, such a kind hearted person. Also big shout out to Rajah who took care of my mom in law who was sick and father in law who fell from the stairs . Yes what a trip right? But everything was just amazing because they made it happened. The beach is unbelievable calm and quiet. Super clean and kids friendly. Our fave meal will be the breakfast buffet that has everything from Malay cuisine to American breakfast. It's RM 88 but we got a discount for being a gold SPG member. The nature walk that's complimentary was fascinating! We saw bats, hornbill , monkeys, red squirrels, coligo...etc . They were everywhere surrounding the hotel. I have too many good things to say about this place that I can't type them all here.
