We stayed at Ambong Ambong for a yoga retreat instructed by Dorothy, Langkawi Yoga, during Mar. 24~29, 2013. Honestly, my friend & I had been shocked while we got there, seeing how steep the slopes were. However, after 5-day stay, we not only get used to them, but appreicated to have such additional exercise after a great meal at Unkaizan,... More

Thanks for signing up for the Yoga Retreat with Dorothy of Langkawi Yoga. If I may say so, she is the best yoga instructress on the island. As for the steepness of the hill, we decided it was a small price to pay in order to preserve the hill which is home to the hornbills, dusky leaf monkeys and the... More

Beautiful and relaxing, set amongst the rainforest with a fantastic spa and magnificent Japanese restaurant below. Just far enough away from the hassle and bustle to feel like your a million miles away but only a short stroll to some superb dining. The views from the your own private deck make it hard to leave your room during the day.... More

Thank you for your great review. We hope the Yoga & Ayurvedic Programme was enjoyable and fruitful. Like you, many of our guests rave about the Japanese restaurant and the Spa. You are also right about the deck/ balcony as many of our guests enjoy it too and hardly leave their rooms! We hope both of you will visit us... More

After searching Trip Advisor we booked a triple storey- 2 bedroom 'cottage' at Ambong Ambong for our family of 2 adult daughters and ourselves. We expected something rustic and were surprised to find such well appointed, light, airy and contemporary accommodation which catered perfectly to our needs. Our hosts were unobtrusive and extremely accommodating. The pool and surroundings provided just... More

Like you, most of our guests have travelled widely and have stayed in the best hotels, so we wanted to provide them with a totally different experience. We are delighted that you and your family enjoyed your stay with us. It was a pity that you missed the Yoga retreat but it is definitely a good excuse to come back!... More

We had a wonderful time at this resort. Anna and Nizam are very welcoming and helpful. We were in a 2 bedroom chalet above the office which was very spacious, clean and well decorated.

We stayed at Ambong Ambong for five incredibly serene nights. We had a lovely one-bedroom studio about halfway up the hill, with a small balcony. The air-conditioning is cool and effective (key in Langkawi's humid heat), the DIY breakfast is a relaxing way to start the day, and the room is clean, modern, and peaceful.

If you've read previous reviews about Ambong Ambong one thing that stands out is the steepness of the location. It is very very steep and gives you a good old fashioned workout if you decided to forego the car service up to your room, and use the steps. The upside of this is that you can eat and drink whatever... More
