Beautiful peaceful resort, we stayed in the sea view suite huge comfy beds and massive room with walk in wardrobe. The bar staff were the best fun 🤩 especially with happy hour 5-8pm every day. Overall highly recommend this resort for r & r. The boat across to Langkawi is good but I would have liked hourly transfers for more flexibility.

We liked everything during our four-day stay in this hotel complex: the boat transfer, punctual and well organized, the pick-up on arrival and departure by an electric vehicle, very large accommodation facing the sea (premium), an extraordinary breakfast buffet, excellent and very inexpensive meals, obvious environmental concerns (no plastic bottles, but a jug of water in the room; a sewage treatment plant), possibilities for walks across the island (a bit strenuous, but very well signposted; we traveled alone without problems and saw beautiful carnivorous plants, varieties of ferns, pandanus, and even two monitor lizards), attentive and friendly staff , with value for money. amazing. I was just a little disappointed by the sea, not very clear and quite poor in fish, and the weather not very good at the end of November, but the hotel is not responsible for that.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
This is an amazing island resort When fully loaded we felt absolutely private! After all, in general there are not many rooms, but the hotel has an entire island! Here you can ride bicycles, there are several hiking trails leading through the untouched jungle to the cave and the sea, and there is also a beautiful harbor with yachts on the island.
A very atmospheric place, there is a lot of greenery around with animals, birds and monkeys, the combination of palm trees and pine trees is healthy and easy to breathe.
A special recommendation is the spa: excellent massage, I recommend it!
We had a family room with a spacious veranda, and in addition to the shower there was also a bathroom😍 Wooden floors, huge beds - comfortable. Ceiling fan and air conditioning. There were no mosquitoes on the territory, although it is located on the first coastline by the sea. Good full breakfast with European and Asian food. Restaurant dinners were included in the price, I recommend delicious steaks.
Clean large pool, a huge plus its opening hours are until 23, and towels are freely available. A children's area in the pool, a free games room and a large number of board games - our children appreciated it.
All the days of our holiday everything was at its best!
The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The meeting of vacationers was well organized: complementary drinks, loading onto the boat at the pier and moving to the hotel. It was a wonderful vacation, we liked everything very much: peace, relaxation - a special privilege.

It is a resort off the island of Langkawi. The taxi from the airport t the Cenang ferry costs us $35. The return Grab taxi was $10. Although there were fixed ferry schedules our ferry took off about 20 mins late. I understand the ferry runs late as the resort encourages guests to go to main island for touristy stuff.
At reception, we were given a short explanation of the resort and activities. We were offered a refreshing cold drink and a cold towel.
Thank you to the reception who upgraded us to a beautiful sea view room. It was such a pleasure to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of waves. The king size bed was very comfy, and we enjoyed many a tea/coffee sitting on the porch watching the world go by.
We booked a half board package, which included a most substantial breakfast, and either a lunch or dinner. The huge breakfast sustained us until dinner (with a couple of muffins from breakfast as afternoon tea). On alternate nights, there is a buffet dinner, other nights, it is ala carte. Their meals are very good, particularly their curries and satays.
There is a self-service laundry $10 per cycle and a small grocery shop at the marina where the ferry/boats docks. It is very pleasant to walk around the premises and there is a free guided walk on Thursday and Sunday.
The bathroom was very spacious, with double sinks and lots of storage. There was a in-room safe and 2 bathrooms, and slippers. There was a water dispenser on the block and we fille dup every day.
The staff deserves all round compliments. Everyone was just professional and friendly. Thank you, Sati who seem to be there 24 hours. I noted he greeted staff and guests every morning or evening.
It was with great reluctance we checked out.

Rebak Island is a 10 minute ferry ride from Langkawi so the resort is quiet and relaxing. The hotel complex is an older style building and could do with modernisation, but the rooms are spacious and clean, and each has its own balcony. The view from our balcony, across the sea, was beautiful. The resort has a good sized, well maintained pool, and the restaurant serves an extensive buffet breakfast and a variety of cuisine throughout the day. We enjoyed all our evening meals. The staff are excellent; really friendly and attentive. We’d been on a tour in Malaysia and this was a great way to spend the last 4 days of our trip; relaxing in a lovely location.

We arrived on Christmas Eve to be told that the restaurant for dinner was full this was not a problem as a extra table was laid up and we were looked after all evening , All the rooms that night had Christmas stockings left on the doors with sweets etc in them. On Christmas Day Santa arrived in the morning and all the children staying got a lovely present from the hotel and it was a lovely day, we are still in this wonderful hotel and enjoying our stay with very attentive staff and good food. I read reviews and this one is in response to Annika VIP 64 ,000 reviews who two weeks ago gave it a one star rating! Firstly we have come from staying in Singapore at£550 per night and this resort that is surrounded by wonderful rainforest full of wildlife and is only £166 per night so this has to be taken into consideration.firstly Annika VIP do not stay in a resort with children and then complain that they are noisy stay in a adult only and review them you was a child once, next enjoy the holiday do not goo and sit by a pool table to use your laptop as pool balls are noisy and not made of foam!!! So noisy,the pool is not a infinity pool as you quote but lovely, you moan that the sea view is blocked by sun beds on the beach and then moan that they need more umbrellas surely that would block your view more !!! We are staying in room 402 with a wonderful see view and up early in the morning to watch the sun rise is spectacular. The staff here are amazing and so friendly if so many people rate this resort so highly what is Annika VIP on about? We move onto another hotel for the new year And I hope you have not been then to give it a bad review and ruin there reputation like you have tried here. To all this is a beautiful resort and we will be back a big thank you to all the staff and management

+ hotel - the rooms are cleaned well and daily, towels are changed, and they provide enough water - hotel - 1. Cockroaches 2. Cockroaches in breakfast dishes 3. They can feed and drink one breakfast for several days in a row. Cheeses become moldy, fresh juices spoil, etc. 4. Strong low tides, go swimming or swimming or go to normal beaches 5. They prepared a terrible dish for us in the barbecue area and we didn’t eat it. They asked for a refund - they did not return it 6. Therefore, all the smiles and kindness of the staff are fake. If you have any problem, the hotel staff will not help you in any way 7. The rooms are very old, the linen is stained and smells bad of damp, the shower is terrible 8. Prices at the bar are inadequate - cola for $5 I recommend visiting the hotel for a maximum of 2 days! I absolutely do not recommend it for a long stay

There is a unique tranquility to this wonderful island resort. Only a short 10 minute boat trip off the coast of Langkawi, the resort offers outstanding personal service, excellent food, beautiful villa accommodation close to the sea and a beautiful beach location. Bubbles for Buzz Fix, sets the scene with a wonderful breakfast buffet. The peaceful poolside environment is great for a relaxing day and happy hour drink prices and a very reasonable restaurant menu make it very affordable for guests. There is even a great option for High Tea. The attention of Sati and his wonderful staff make this a real favorite that we will keep coming back to and have no hesitation of recommending.

A wonderful 3 nights on Rebak. A seamless, quick check in and a welcome cold drink and towel. Our sea view room was spacious, with a large bathroom area that had double wash basins, separate shower, separate toilet and a separate bath. A lovely balcony overlooking the sea. OK, so the rooms may be a little tired looking, but they were clean and serviced daily. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, so many choices and of good quality. Try the beach bar at happy hours 5-8 for cheap drinks and good snacks. We dined once in the restaurant which has a good menu and reasonably priced. Nice swimming pool, with a separate one for the kids. You could get the best of both worlds with the pool, then a grassed area and onto the beach. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. Guests were regularly visited by the GM and chef to ensure meals and everything were satisfactory. Staff looked after getting your luggage onto the boat and to reception and vice versa when leaving. A great little island and resort to just chill out and enjoy for a few days. Being regular Langkawi visitors I wonder why it took so long to visit Rebak. Would definitely stay there again.

Rebak Island Resort in Langkawi is a hidden gem for mid-range travelers. I stayed in six different hotels( all middle class range) during my 45-day trip, and this one stood out as incredibly beautiful and special. Despite being built years ago, the resort was constructed with high-quality materials like stone and premium wood, giving it a timeless charm. The water pressure in both the shower and bath is excellent, adding to the comfort. It’s a true nature resort where you can walk for hours, surrounded by stunning scenery. The breakfast is great for its class, and the price is very reasonable. I enjoyed every moment here! The front office manager, Haafiz Kassim, is highly professional and attentive. He provides excellent advice tailored to your needs.His helpful approach adds to the overall exceptional experience at Rebak Island Resort!!!
