Bon Ton Resort Langkawi

Charming rooms on stilts. We were upgraded to the "Laguna" which was larger than expected. Restaurant had excellent dinner menu and good wine list. Complementary pre dinner cocktails were excellent. The one downside is that breakfast is delivered to your fridge the night before and is very limited.

My family and I stayed in the larger villas that can fit 5 people. The owner and the staff are very friendly and professional and the in-house restaurant also has good food. For someone wanting an experience staying in a traditional Malay village house, this place is perfect. They modernized the houses to include fans and air conditioning. However during our stay I could barely feel the air conditioning and the fans in the main bedroom especially while on the bed. The a/c was not powerful enough and the fans were too high up. I was not able to sleep comfortably because it was so hot. The living room with 3 day beds was a bit better but still not cold enough. My family and I used the private pool and I like that it had lounge chairs and umbrellas for relaxing next to the pool. I noticed that half the spa jets in the shallow section of the pool were not working. For the price of the room I would have expected facilities to be better maintained. Mosquitoes are a problem in a rural setting such as this resort and I am happy to find mosquito kits were provided including mosquito nets over the beds should one prefer the ultimate protection while sleeping. The staff even had mosquito coils burning under some tables at the in-house restaurant though we did not see them on our second dinner there. Besides the comfort issues, overall the villa was a unique and positive experience.

Really enjoyed my stay in the 'Black Coral' house at Bon Ton. Very relaxing.

Interésting room architecture charming but extremely hot and dirty. We had hairs everywhere and our room although was beautiful was spooky. After ours stay a guy told us there was a ghost.

Stayed at Bon Ton for 2 nights at the end of March. We had Blue Ginger, an 80 year old traditional Malaysian house which had been deconstructed, moved to the resort and reconstructed for guest use. It's a nice, creaky wooden building painted bright blue. Inside was spacious and appropriately furnished with vintage items. The bathroom was outside and surrounded by other guest rooms - someone would have had to make an effort to see in but it still didn't feel 100% private! There are some really nice colonial style communal buildings within the resort and although Bon Ton is quite rustic / basic it does have an elegance about it. Service was great and the food at the restaurant was very nice. We also ate at the adjoining resort which was good too. The beach is a 15 - 20 min walk. If you like the idea of rustic, outdoorsy boutique accommodation (light sleepers will probably be woken at 6am by the dogs from the shelter next door followed by the birds at sunrise) this is a great option overall. I found it a bit expensive but we did stay over the long Easter weekend which probably pushed prices up. Only other slight negative is that the pool needs much more regular cleaning. During the course of the day it filled with leaves and bugs but was not cleaned.

We had a fantastic stay at the Bon Ton. Loved the staff, the food, the pool, the villa. The villa is spacious and the bathroom huge. Beautiful breakfast is left in your room the night before, freshly baked bread and cakes, exotic fruits. Loved it. The staff are so friendly, welcoming you every time you come back. Fresh fruit by the pool every day. The town is around a four dollar ride away,worth it. It can be hot walking into town. Took a taxi to the cable car, what a great day. Beautiful views, and the oriental village has some good food. An island hopping tour, watching eagles feed, and swimming on some beautiful beaches was also a must.

Slow deck in and out. Historic perspective fun wears thin with inability to control heat humidity with fans and ac in the room. Good place for cat lovers that have a good tolerance for the tropics. Also dog lovers may enjoy the sounds of adjacent kennels. One day trial here interesting but enough for me.

We stayed at Palm (a hundred years old charming traditional timber Malay villa) for 2 nights from 11/12/15-13/12/15, attending colleague's wedding at Langkawi + celebrating my belated 10th years wedding anniversary. I am always dreaming to have my own Malay house someday. It was a memorable stay for me & husband. We both enjoyed the peace & quiet surroundings. We checked out on the day of my colleague's wedding "kenduri" at noon. We intended to leave our luggage & come back to pick the luggage as our flight back to KL is 9.30pm. Without asking,the hotel owner (I think he is) offered us to leave our luggage at the villa, if there is nobody to book the room today, we can use the room until 6pm. It was such a generous offer! It was a very hot & humid day. We came back after the "kenduri", showered and took a nap before we checked out again and heading to the airport. It was so great hospitality and deeply appreciated, as our flight back to KL was delayed from 9.30pm to 12.20am. It was a terrible 6 hours wait at the airport. But luckily, we freshened up and took a nap already.

Nice setting of chalets around the pool. Good standard of accommodation with hairdryer, complementary toiletries, mosquito net and plug in kit. Iron and yoga mat also provided on request. Large selection of DVD films available from reception to watch in the room but no TV channels to catch up with news. Very helpful service from manager who gave lots of tips and suggestions of things to do. Only downside was the breakfast provided night before and placed in the fridge, to eat in the room the next morning. There was limited choice with no hot breakfast and I would have preferred to have breakfast freshly prepared and served in the restaurant considering they serve other meals there for lunch and dinner.

Leaking in the bed room during raining. Not near the beach Small and dirty swimming pool
