Ambong Rainforest Retreat

This property is entirely unique. A stone’s throw from bustling Pantai Tengah, it is amazing how detached you can feel from the rest of the world when nestled in your canopy up in the rainforest. I came here for much needed relaxation after lots of travel, and Ambong delivered! It was so serene to sit on my terrace overlooking the distant water, watching the hornbills and monkeys. Breakfast was delicious and I also enjoyed dinner both nights at the Rimba restaurant. I also enjoyed a massage at the spa, and highly recommend it! The real cream of this experience was the staff who were so very kind and attentive. I will be back!

Our stay at Ambong Ambong Resort was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like family, welcoming, warm, and incredibly helpful. My partner had a skiing injury, and the team went above and beyond, offering assistance without hesitation. They drove us around the resort with genuine care and kindness, making our stay even more comfortable. A special mention to Lee, Shifa, and Sherman, who were absolutely outstanding in their hospitality. The dining experience was equally impressive. Both restaurants served delicious, well-prepared dishes with a wide variety of options. The view from the top of one of the restaurants was simply breathtaking, definitely a highlight of our trip. The resort itself is a tranquil haven, surrounded by lush greenery and immersed in nature. Waking up to the sounds of birds and spotting monkeys in the trees added to the charm of the place. It's the perfect retreat for those looking to unwind in a peaceful, natural setting. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend Ambong Ambong Resort to anyone visiting Langkawi.

The staff at Ambong are always willing to help and always check that everything is to your liking. The resort is ideal for people wanting a relaxing time, its location is on the edge of the town resulting in a peaceful setting, with easy access to the facilities of the town if required. We were particularly pleased with the food on offer at the Rimba restaurant, well formed local dishes at reasonable cost served by nice staff. The staff when they had time were happy to talk and offer advice on the resort and surrounding area. The car service to your room was welcome, as the resort is set on a hill.

Amazing place in the middle of 'jungle' with super friendly staff! We have never felt ourselves as welcome as here! Great facilities with fascinating nature around you. Very good breakfast with lots of choices and good service (especially the older guy at the Rimba restaurant - sorry don't know the name!). Nice little pool area and herb garden (thanks a lot for the personal tour Raja - the gardener). The place also offered transportation and help with car parking.

What a lovely stay! The resort is nestled in the jungle so you feel like you’re the only ones on the island. I believe all the rooms have a view of the sea, so even our jungle studio had a glance at the stunning blue amongst the forest green. I was lucky enough to watch 5-6 dusky leaf monkeys playing around the room in the morning before breakfast. So cute, and an awesome experience. The resort is on a hill (all of it), even to get from the reception to your room you have an option to ask for a lift (all very easy and arranged via WhatsApp). There is also a restaurant with views (where we chose to have breakfast as they serve non-vegan options), this is at another resort technically but it’s a 10 min walk (with those hills) or couple of minutes drive when arranged with the staff. The staff are amazing, best hospitality we’ve experienced. Very attentive, happy to give recommendations (or a herb garden tour), and even help us out when we had issues with our onwards travel. Shout out to the manager, front desk staff and my herb garden tour guide! The airport is 20ish minutes away and costs around 20RM one way. The resort is also very close to the jetty - we’d highly recommend this as an activity. It’s very reasonably priced. We asked the staff for their recommendation on the operator, and arranged a pick up via WhatsApp - all very smooth. You of course can’t miss the sky bridge too (but be prepared for the price - it’s unlike any other attractions in Malaysia). I wish we stayed longer in Ambong and explored a little bit more of the island!
