If you love nature you’ll love this place. Initially stayed at the Pool Villa which was amazing (and we got to see monkeys! Then, we moved to try the ensuite and studio rooms at the Rainforest retreat area. Staff are great and short drive from Cenang beach.
United KingdomEverything about this place is incredible. The staff is so caring and helpful, the villa was so beautiful and had everything you'd need. The swimming pool area and the restaurants have amazing views and it feels so peaceful everywhere you go.
South KoreaAmazing, friendly staff that really cares about you! We had a surprise cake for our 10th-anniversary celebration, and they checked on us every night to see if we needed any assistance. The shower gel and shampoo smell so good, and they really help us calm down after a hot and humid day exploring Langkawi. The 'surprise' visit by monkeys on our balcony added a natural touch, as if we were truly staying in the jungle. The view from restaurant are to die for!
Singaporenothing was too much trouble, very helpful when asked to change to pol villa
GermanySecluded and surrounded by nature, the sound of nature , rustling of leaves, and wildlife created a very relaxing and rejuvenating environment. A great weekend getaway to recharge.
MalaysiaSimply: everything! Ambong Rainforest Retreat is such a great place run by lovely people. Everything is well thought through and the service is exceptional. In fact we loved the stay so much that we changed our travel schedule to enjoy more time here. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful nature, yet, the Cenang strip/mall is within walking distance (30min) or alternatively a Grab/taxi can be hailed easily. The hotel staff - everyone (!) - is super nice and helpful with suggesting activities and what not. The breakfast is delicious and guests can choose between two wonderful restaurants with great atmosphere and views (one is vegan). Thanks to the whole Ambong Team for having us and making our honeymoon start as amazing as it could have been - we will definitely stay at Ambong when coming back to Langkawi!
GermanySurrounded by quiet (no kids!), lush rainforest & nature sounds with views of the ocean. Resort restaurants were also very good, with amazing views. Personalised, prompt service and warm, thoughtful staff. Twice-daily room cleaning was a pleasant surprise.
