Very good with a few caveats

Review of Bon Ton Resort
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Mar 2024
A good picturesque resort resembling a local village with the rooms being wooden structures on stilts. Its a rural setting looking out over wetland on one side, a veey nice outlook in the mornings eating breakfast. Wood and rural means a not entirely sealed structure so you sleep under mosquito nets with supplied electric repellents, which worked, no bites in 4 nights. The rooms can get hot so run the a/c for several hours before bed. Modern amenities as well as a/c with good WiFi, fridge, tea and coffee facilities. A basic continental breakfast is delivered around 6.30pm for the following morning for you to prepare and eat on your balcony. Unless you are in the Blue room which has no balcony. And eating there indoors is not comfortable. Breakfast is also a bit limited. Bread with butter and jam, cake, some fruit and yoghurt, juice tea or coffee. If you don't like yoghurt, not a lot.
The rooms are set well apart from each other in a pleasant garden area with a good size lap pool. Usually quiet around the pool although it did get busy one day when 3 of the rooms were occupied with families of 2 children each. The staff were efficient, friendly and helpful, the iced water at poolside in the afternoons was particularly appreciated.

The restaurant was of a very good standard. Well prepared and presented dishes with great service. Food deserving of a bottle of wine which was available from R105 a bottle. Main dishes from around R50 upwards.

There is one big negative, the nearby mosque. I don't mind the morning call to prayer at sunrise, its local culture. But I've never experienced a 10 minute loudspeaker preamble 1 hour before sunrise, at 06.00. Then another 10 minutes at 06.30. Then another ten minutes at 07.00. Its like the mosque is next door, there is no ignoring it to get a good night's sleep.

          Such a pretty resort. My husband and I just spent a night at this resort and it was beautiful. We loved our bungalow, the morning breakfast (which we enjoyed watching the sun rise on our small deck), and the resort's focus on helping stray animals.

          Best Malayan meal of our holiday!
          We sat in the beautiful gardens. Staff brought out fans, lights, insect repellent coil thing.
          House special, Beef rendang, chicken satay, fried rice, mango and pickled veg. Apple, macadamia sponge pud with cula malaca ice-cream, kambucha to drink. So good! Great service and price.
          Can’t recommend enough.

          Beautiful, traditional resort with a very chilled out feel. Really enjoyed our stay and it was just what we needed after visiting Kuah in the south of the island. Restaurant is excellent and the staff are so lovely. Would be lovely to go back one day.

          Room tip: Be prepared to be woken up by coconuts falling on your hut. It is an old coconut plantation and the huts are over 100 years old.

          Wow what a place to call home for 3 nights while we stayed in Langkawi. For those that are a little more rustic and dont need a huge hotel then this is the place for you.

          The staff welcome you as if you are entering their home with a welcome drink. The cabins are all unique and well serviced. Its hot and the air conditioners are doing the best they can to cool everything down but its so special.

          The restaurant was actually a pleasant surprise and you could easily have multiple meals here without feeling bored. Great choice of wines and cocktails as well!

          Room tip: The menu at the hotel actually offered pretty good gluten free options as well!

          A beautiful setting with lush green grass and palm trees and lovely pool. There is a golf course construction going on but it wasn’t progressing whilst we were there. The staff here are amazing- we were welcomed with a welcome drink and they were so attentive and kind. Our kids loved all the foster cats and dogs that live here.
          The villas are quaint, although we found them extremely hot and even with the air con found sleep difficult. It is best to swim in the pool in the morning as it heats up during the day (almost like a bath). The deck by the pool has some nails that stick out- take care! Make sure you use the mosquito nets provided.
          The restaurant is lovely and always cool- one or two Malaysian options.
          Thank to the incredible staff for our stay!

          Room tip: Top tip- The Smiling Buffalo which is a 5 min walk away has fabulous coffee!
