Ambong Rainforest Retreat
Jalan Pantai Tengah, Langkawi, 07000 Pantai Cenang, Malaysia – Excellent location - show map
The location is wonderful, right in the forest but also a short walk from the beach. We saw so many animals from our balcony or other parts of the hotel (including dusky leaf monkeys and giant squirrels). The food was excellent, both the vegan breakfasts at the Rainforest Retreat and at the Pool Villas restaurant). The staff were helpful and on hand to give lifts up the hill or to the other property as needed.
Ambong Rainforest Retreat offers an adult-only getaway amidst tropical surroundings. Located on a steep hill within the rainforest, rooms are only accessible via long staircases. It is a 4-minute drive from Pantai Cenang, a 15-minute drive from Langkawi Airport and a 30-minute drive from Kuah Town. Modern rooms each come with a balcony offering forest views. A flat-screen satellite TV and free WiFi is provided. For recreation, an outdoor pool is available. On-site spa and massage treatments can be arranged upon request. Staff can provide laundry services and sightseeing arrangement assistance. There is a Japanese restaurant a 3-minute walk from the hotel.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.
