Rebak Island Resort - Rebak Island

Staff very friendly! Pool clean, big. Green hotel! Will be better if you open some mini market on walking area and Thai food. Also please study your staff to play Tennis!

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is not in Langkawi!!! It's on a separate island and you're dependant on a shuttle boat to get to langkawi where all the activities and half-way decent food options are. The ferry only runs every 1.5-2 hours so most of the time you find yourself stranded with no real activities or food options. And it stops running at 7.45pm! So unless you […] eat dinner at 6pm while you're on vacation, you'll be forced to eat at the hotel - horrible! For a Taj hotel this is really a disgrace. No upgrades since 1970 (other than the flat screen tvs). The staff and service are horrendous - the concierge/activity guide in particular. You can get only 1 key to your room - we had a 2 bedroom suite with 5 people so this was a huge pain. There are many many better options on Langkawi. Read more

The transportation is very bad, it's in another island and you couldn't go to main island (Langkawi).

This was a ladies trip however we booked 2twin beds which is really a california king...we also had a sea view room and had to be changed upon arrival. Our package included 25% off spa treatments and 15% off restaurant which was very nice except for we weren't informed that the spa treatments must be booked from 12-2pm. They still honored it just a […] lil hassle...other than that everything was wonderful. Staff was wonderful...taxis were plentiful and more like tour guides, very nice....all the activities were great...perfect for relaxation just don't go at the beginning of the Rainey season....many bugs, flys and Mosquitos....will do it again....

This hotel is in a lovely setting on its own island about 15 minutes by boat from the main island of Langkawi. Rooms are quite nice, but are showing signs of age and wear and tear. Service is good, too. Biggest gripe: only one dining spot on site, and it's not cheap. If you want anything else, you have to take the free shuttle boat to the "mainland," […] but it doesn't run that often and stops at 7:45 pm! Read more

I stayed in the hotel for 2 nights in a deluxe room. The 1st impressions from outside was great. But once we got in the room, it was too dark even with all the lights on. If you turn off the master switch, all plugs will turn off and you can't use battery chargers or any other appliance.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room was full of mosquitoes at night. Could not get a single night of good sleep because the mosquitoes were buzzing near my ear. Woke up on several occasions with bites on my arms and face. The worst part, the hotel did not offer any means to control the bugs. Perhaps insect spray, mosquito net??? it's not that hard, or expensive to provide some […] protection against bugs. The room was average, quite large, but given the price, I've stayed in much better conditions. Fixtures were tired and worn, shower door didn't close properly. Many aspects of the accommodation need upgrading. Read more

Very comfortable hotel. Although I have worries before coming to the hotel as it is located in an island 4KM from the Langkawi main island, it turns out the regular boat between 2 islands is pretty convevient. The last boat is 10:30pm, which is late enough as I am not bar animal. The beach in front of the resort and the swimming pool are lovely. The […] breakfast is good, lots of choices, and the dinning hall has wonderful sea view. Recommend to rent a car for vacation in main island in airport BEFORE leaving the airport as all car rental companies are in the arrival area. The harbor is a good place to take nice photos for those ships. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is a lovely little Resort and the staff are very friendly. It is kind of small and you will have to take a boat from the main island to reach the hotel. There is not a whole lot to do at the resort, so you will want to go to the main island for tours and activities. Also, be aware there is only one restaurant at this resort. It is the perfect place […] to be if you want to relax or are looking for seclusion. Read more

I looked throughTripAdvisor to check out the hotels/resorts in Langkawi and booked to stay at Rebak Island Resort (RIR) after shortlisting a few hotels. It was a birthday treat/trip for my bf and I wanted it to be perfect. We were not disappointed. RIR staff greeted us with a smile from the time we arrived at the airport till the time we checked in. […] After they knew it was my bf's birthday during the trip, they helped to make small surprises on that day with 'Happy Birthday' pillow covers and a small cake and birthday card signed by the hotel manager waiting for us in the room! Throughout the day, quite a few staff even wished my bf when we were walking ard the resort! The room was nice and of a good size. Liked the king sized bed and the big bathroom area. Would be better if the shower water level was stronger. Food choices was quite limited when there is only one restaurant in the resort, to serve all day dining. Weren't impress with the breakfast and dinner we had there. Loved the poolside chicken wings though! :) Thank you RIR, we had a great time there overall! Will be back again definitely! Read more

If the foods quality make improvment and the pricing cheaper then I will consider to visit again.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We spent a week on Rebak Island with 8 friends for a birthday party. It was a true island resort where you could spend the day by the pool or grab a free bike and ride through the resort. The pool bar was excellent for meeting other guests and conversations continued in the restaurant and later in the library and recreational areas. The resort is perfect […] for families with kids and similarly for those who wish to stroll off to remote beach. The 15 minute ferry ride to the island of Langkawi is easy and good if you wish to sample some regional Malaysian culture and other restaurants. Read more

To start with, pick-up from airport got messed up & delayed but once it got done everything was smooth after that. Check in was quick & fast. Staff is exceptionally too much courteous. Entire Taj property is excellent; food @ restaurant is finger licking especially Indian vegetarian, although highly priced but worth. Highly recommended especially who […] loves Indian food.

We stayed 5 nights at Rebak and had an excellent time, although the prices are a bit too high for food and drinks. If quiet is what you want then this is the place. You are the only hotel on the island. Rooms have ample space and plenty of charm; classic hard wood floors, separate tub, shower, and toilet rooms, all with marble. The mattress is slightly […] on the extra firm side and you have a very limited (and pricey) selection in the mini-bar. Remember you are on an island and will need to travel by one of the free shuttle boats that run almost hourly daily between 7am and 8pm to see and experience the sights, shopping, and food of Langkawi. We would book elsewhere if we return to this part of the world again only because we would like to experience what the nights would offer and the ease of access to all of Langkawi's amenities.

Absolutely incredibly quiet and so nice. The staff were fantastic. The pool was clean. The food was top notch. The free shuttle was every two hours into the main island. The deserted beaches in Rebak were so nice. Will go back next year for sure. The reception staff were also very helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Our stay at Rebak was great and is a great option if staying in Langkawi. The trip across to the main island is painless and regular enough although does not run after about 8 pm unless you know about the staff schedule. The hotel is getting a bit tired and this is the only downside of the stay. the staff certainly try their hardest and make up for […] the aging of the facilities. Make sure you have a cocktail at happy hour down by the beach Read more

Very relaxing resort, with excellent staff ,in a very beautiful location. Ideal if you want to be near the main hub but away from it all. Limited ferry sevice after 7.45pm which was a bit restricting for younger peolple or if want to eat outside hotel. Food and restaurant excellent but bit expensive compared to other local restaurants. Overall very […] satisfied and would highly recommend and return again given the opportunity. Read more

Excellent stay facilities and very cordial staff. Only con is that probably it is on an island and to commute you might have to wait for the jetty which is after every 1:30 hours. Rest all facilities are excellent.

The resort is on an island of its own, having its own private beach. There are lots of fun activities that one can be engrossed in like Cycling, Trekking, Art classes, Swimming, Kayaking, Beach volley and Tennis.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was located in a very beautifull enviroment. I really enjoyed my stay there and it was most relaxing. The staff were very friendly from managment to housekeeping each and everyone was friendly and helpfull. We will defiinately go there again if we plan to go to the far east again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Started out in a garden view room which was really large and great. Loved it but after being on some late flights to get there and with the time difference, the family upstairs made way too much noise for us to be able to sleep well. We mentioned this to staff at breakfast the following morning and they happily offered us alternatives. We were given […] an upstairs ocean view room which we totally adored and were very happy. As with previous reviews, you may feel isolated at first but...there are numerous boat transfers throughout the day and you can easily visit other places on Langkawi whenever you want. Even though food at the resort was more expensive than at places on Langkawi, the chef made truly great food and with 2 happy hours a night, we spent much less than expected. Read more

Would have been good to have fly screens on the doors so that we could have doors and curtains open sometimes as we didn't always need air conditioning on and we could then have enjoyed our sea view more. However our stay was fantastic and we had a great time.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The property is a private island close to the Langkawi airport. It has activities like free kayak, bicycle rides, live wildlife feeding sessions and boasts of spacious rooms having sea view. Overall its a great experience for families and couples alike.

A lovely Island getaway, beautiful gardens and relaxed feeling

Genuine Expedia guest review

AMAZING! What a place to stay for our honeymoon. The staff there are brilliant, could not do enough to make our stay more pleasing. Access to the main island is easy with the free ferry running back and forth during the day and the latest at 8:45pm is late enough to enjoy some night shopping. Food and drink was of high quality and not the cheapest compared […] with the main island, however cheap compared with normal australian restarunt prices. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing time away. (only a few singles stay there so better for couples) Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The level of service and location are amazing. We had an incredibly relaxing week with the sea 30 metres walk from the villa. The whole resort was fairly quiet in mid March so it was easy to pretend you had the island to yourself. There are a few activities to keep you interested and break the sun lounging and pool dipping, but the resort is best suited […] to those looking for a peaceful and relaxing break. There are daily ferries to Langkawi each day, although aside from wanting a break from the inconsistent (and sometimes poor) food, there isn't really any reason to leave Rebak. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

A wonderful experience from start to finish, this is a quality hotel in a beautiful setting with excellent food. As the only hotel on a small Island off Langkawi it is a real chill holiday but you can easily catch the free ferry to the main Island and take a taxi to the near by beach areas for something different. The small size of the hotel makes it […] feel very boutique and never crowded, which may be too quite for some. Even has a squash court and 2 great tennis courts for those energetic momments. Highly recommended and the staff are really helpful Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Our two-bedroom room was lovely and we enjoyed our stay at the resort but a few significant faults make it fall short of a 5, or even a 4-star resort. You can hear everything going on in the room upstairs. In our case it was a family with a baby that cried throughout the night. We ask if something could be done but apparently there were no rooms available […] (the resort wasn't full but perhaps they didn't want to downgrade our room...) and they only offered to talk with the people upstairs. We asked them not to, how could they control when their baby cries and that would have only ruined their holiday. Furthermore the resort is on an island and thus they're happily over-charging for everything. A can of coke will set you back ten times (!!) more than on the main island. They advertised for various activities which turned out to be a bit of a dud. The cooking lesson was a 5-minute demonstration of how to mix the ingredients for a muffin (perhaps some malaysian food would have been in order) and the daily lizzard feeding never happened despite people gathered around to watch it. The electricity is wired a bit weirdly in the rooms, in order to turn off the bedside lamp a light needs to be on the living room and in the hallway and on the other side of the bed. Took us a while to figure out how it all worked out. Our overall impression was that the resort does offer a wow-factor on arrival but as you stay longer, you start noticing things. There is a slight derelict feeling to the resort as there are several empty building scattered around. However, the service was always excellent and the pool area was fantastic. We did enjoy our holiday but perhaps we were expecting a bit too much from this resort. Read more

This resort was suggested by a friend who had been there last year. It is perfect for those who want to be away from the hustle-bustle of city life. I got a very good deal which included breakfast. This is one place where you are sure to find vegetarian food at breakfast. The free boats to Langkawi are scheduled, so make sure you have a plan. Paid ones […] might pinch your pockets. Langkawi and Rebak and tropical isles, make sure to carry an insect repellent cream / spray (esp in the evenings) Overall a very good experience and Memorable Honeymoon. Read more

Rebak Island provides a superbly relaxing experience in high quality surroundings. It is not for those heavily into adventure sports, hard partying, or glitz, but for those seeking a quiet and relaxing stay, it is ideal. Staff we always helpful and friendly. The only thing the hotel could improve is a little more attention to the menu, and the proviision […] of a clear schedule of meals such as buffets in advance. Read more

Lazing by the pool or on the beach and forget all the cares of the world. If this is your thing, you will really enjoy Rebak Island Resort. No noisy nightclub or drunken yobbos to spoil the peace and quiet of the island - just couples and families typically with older children. There's also free kayaking, cycling and eco-walks for those who want some […] physical activity in thier day. The only drawbacks are the fact that the island is close to the Langkawi flight path so you see and hear the planes as they land and takeoff and the food is a little bit on the expensive side but given that everything has to be ferried in for Langkawi including some of the staff, its not unreasonable.

We went to Rebak island for our 1st anniversary and it was a memorable experience. We travelled from Penang to Langkawi by ferry. Unfortunately Taj provides pick and drop service only from the Airport. And the Penang – Langkawi jetty is quite a distance from the Rebak jetty. Anyway, we managed to reach the Rebak Marina jetty and instantly it cooled […] down our spirits. It’s got a lovely view and good arrangement for the guests to wait for the ferry. There is free Wi-Fi, board games and magazines too. Upon reaching the island, the hotel staff was kind enough to buggy us to the reception and our Guest Relations Executive, Ravindra was ready with all the details. He was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable. He helps us understand all the activities that were available in the resort. Our room was exquisite. it had a partial view of the sea which was great. Completely done up in wood. It had all the amenities that one would need. Taj was sweet enough to give us a small cake with Happy Honeymoon written on it. It was a nice touch. The reception staff helped us decide on which sights to see and how we can make it economical. Being a hotel, they could suggest their in-house tours and make the profits, but they didn’t. We booked a cab for a day to sight-see around Langkawi – Cable car, Mangroves, Waterfalls etc.. and the 2nd day for island hopping which was amazing. The hotel is located on a private island is offers ferry service to the main island every 45 mins. But there is plenty that you can do in the resort itself. Tennis, games, movies, books, gym, swimming pool, cycling, nature walk etc.. just to name a few. Abhishek was another staff member who was kind enough to teach tennis to us during his off hours. On our anniversary day, the hotel decorated our room with flowers and provided us another cake. it was a very sweet gesture. Even though it is a 5 start resort, the food is not very expensive and also provides lots of Indian and vegetarian options. Quality of Read more

What a wonderful location, service, atmosphere and food! What a pity that the owners (not Taj) do not bring (at least) the appearance of the property to the same standard (easily increasing their turnover in the process)! Perfect for people, like us, enjoying a colonial-ish experience (and at a very reasonable price!).

Hotel grounds and pool are beautiful but what makes this the perfect place for a holiday was the staff and managment. Nothing is too much trouble. The restaurant is lovely and we didn't leave the resort as quality of the food and service made it too hard to leave. Highly recommend for couples and families.
