Truly a slice of paradise

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Feb 2023
The warmest welcome, excellent facilities (a floating swimming pool?!) and stunning, perfectly refurbished historic villas on stilts all set amongst beautiful, lushly planted gardens. So sad to leave this wonderful place.

We had initially booked 5 days at another hotel (Royale Chenang) but were not happy there and moved to this place our last couple of days at Langkawi. It is just a magical place, with beautiful and very old Malaysian wooden villas. Our kids of 6 & 8 loved the floating pool, the breakfast (us grown ups as well), and we all loved the friendly staff and the absolutely lovely buildings & surroundings. It is close to the airport, but it does not disturb as it doesn’t land that many planes per day. You do need a car to live here ( or order in food through Grab when the restaurant is closed) but it is totally worth it. My warmest recommendations if you like genuine & beautiful local culture combined with calmness.

This is a lovely setting of genuine heritage villas, but let's address the obvious issue - the noise.
Yes, you can hear the planes, both jet and prop, but they don't come in and out too often (not after 11pm or before 7am by recollection).
We stayed in Temonyong (#13), and that row of 4 villas does have a small road running behind it, and there were a couple of noisy motorbikes late at night.
You can also hear prayers from a nearby mosque early in the morning.
And, if you have noisy neighbours (it's 'family friendly'), there's not a lot to stop that noise travelling either.
Location-wise, we had a number of cancelled Grabs as it is positioned along narrow roads, so book with time to spare!
The place itself is lovely though!

Room tip: It's between 10 and 15 mins car ride to the airport.

From the moment we checked in we were really looked after. The place was clean and the staff really attentive. It is set in a beautiful natural environment so expect wildlife noise. It is fairly close to a couple of mosques and the airport but I can honestly say the noise from both did not bother us (I am a very light sleeper).
The pool area was lovely and the food was some of the best we had on the island.
Although it is slightly out of the resort it is easy to get about using the grab app or scooter.
Kunang kunang is the best place we stayed in Malaysia. Highly recommended.

Kunang- Kunang is a gem of a place. We stayed in Teriang and thought it was beautiful. The room was spacious and decorated traditionally. The air con and fans kept the room cool but we were also able to adjust as needed. It was very quiet, the only ‘issue’ we had was when it rained heavily at night as it was noisy on the tin roof. If you are a light sleeper then I would recommend ear plugs. The outdoor bathroom was beautiful with a huge walk in shower and a big wooden bath tub. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, they went above and beyond to help make our stay special. We stayed for 11 nights and found the breakfast choice to be great, lots of Malaysian food as well as an egg station, waffles, cereal, fruit, cakes etc. I’m vegetarian and didn’t struggle to eat of a morning. The pool was stunning and surrounded by wildlife, we enjoyed watching the birds, dragonflies and monitor lizards. Before visiting we saw a few reviews about noise from the airport. We didn’t find it to be noisy and thought it was the same noise level as when we previously stayed in another hotel in Pantai Cenang.

Room tip: It is easier to use Grab for taxis, it only costs 8/9 RM to get to Cenang mall

2 nights in Teriang room. Room was very large with air-conditioning and fans. Wonderful character from yester year with the old timber and shutters. Semi outdoor bathroom was great with timber bath, not sure you would want to have a bath when it's 30 degrees. Mosquito netting around the bed was a great touch and needed. Real good malay breakfast and friendly staff who did their best to make your stay something to remember. Had a massage which was also very good and in pleasant surroundings with wonderful staff. Pool is large and needed in the hot weather it is also very different to any other pool I've been in as it floats within a large Lilly pond. You are away from the busy pantai cenang area so if you are after a place to relax and get some peace and quiet this could be it.
