I booked and paid for 4 nights. I left after one - paid for alternative accomodation and forfeited what I had already paid.
The property was very run down and I felt unsafe. It was about 500m off the main thoroughfare. At the start of the overgrown, unlit road in was a derelict building that was scary itself. Even the Grab drivers were confused as to whether there was accommodation down there.
My room was a container - quirky but not when the air conditioning running at 16 degrees centigrade could only barely cool the place down. Very very steep stairs to get up to the room. Fortunately there were handrails.
The bed was nicely made up but was hard and so were the pillows.
When the tide was in, the views corresponded with the photos - but sitting on the balcony I was surrounded by mewling cats, so couldn’t enjoy it. The garden around the balcony was unkempt and there appeared to be very little maintenance.
I could not recommend.

Very quiet small resort, extraordinary appartments made from old sea containers. 200m from the highway and 2 km from Kuah (restaurants, streetfood, shopping ...). Directly by the sea (no possibility to swim). Infinity pool (almost nobody there). Very friendly staff. Highly recommended for pair, independent travellers and people who want to spent time on calm and quiet place.

The property does not look like how it is presented online. There is no bar, no restaurant, no staff after 6pm. The few staff members there are really nice, but the residence has seen better days. I think covid took its toll on it. The area around the residence is abandoned and the city of Kuah doesn’t offer much. The access to the residence is just via a very busy street. If you don’t have transport yourself I would not recommend. We were generally a bit disappointed and changed hotel.

Good and tranquil hotel that's in need of manyfold renovations.

Location is nice, between Kuah and the famous cenang beach. That being said, you definitely need some sort transportation, e.g. car/scooter - grab app would be a good alternative if you do not want to drive.

This is a very peaceful spot. This might be because there’s no beach here but the views across the water to the neighbouring islands makes up for that. About a 10 minute cab ride from Kuah. (Use the GRAB App or My Car App for getting around )
The rooms are basic but exceptionally clean. The bed was super comfortable. We stayed in a LongHouse room so had access straight from our terrace to the 60m pool. All the staff were super helpful and friendly throughout our stay.
One problem we had was the poor access to the WiFi. We ended up using our personal hotspot most of the time.
Definitely would recommend this place as it is exceptional value for money.

A sunny family vacation at Langkawi

It was a very good stay. The surrounding was nice and peaceful. We were pleasantly surprised when we turned in from the main road where a ruin building stand. This property was well hidden from the main road. Except the water rationing which lasted for over 6 hours on one of the days when we were there, everything else was excellent. We thought the food quality can be further improved though.

This place is nice and quiet compared with resorts but it's far from everything, there is nothing within walking distance.

Unfortunately their website isn't up to date and they don't have a spa on site. We were looking forward to the spa so that we could take advantage while our daughter napped. They propose a spa offsite that offers transportation but It's on a busy road in town, not exactly the same experience as a massage at the ocean.

The advertise the tidal pool as an attraction but it's disgusting with a shiny film.on the water, nobody would ever go in that. The main pool is very small. The longhouse pool with a entrance from your room is fun until some prick and his young kids are playing and making noise at midnight and the hotel does nothing about it.

The breakfast doesn't offer many options for those that aren't in the mood for Chinese and Indian in the morning.

Beware of mosquitoes if you have babies

Liked: pool, morning view, room space
Disliked: mesquitoes bites to babies, baby cots had bed bugs; informed management but they did nothing, low tide every afternoon makes see look like a muddy lagoon, perhaps also this bring that much of mosquitoes. Hotel should provide mosquito net.
Very basic breakfast, 2-3 dishes rotate every two days, rest don't change all days.

Very nice resort, clean and interesting breakfast - more on the asian style. You could stay there all day long hang out at the pool. If you want to see the island and have dinner it's necessary to hire a car. Personally I would get rid of the tidal pool, its nonesense, better block the water to create the swamp.

Unexpected Jewel of a Getaway

We booked this property knowing beforehand it is not beachfront but the view was fantastic! The swimming pool more than sufficed. The whole resort is in a peaceful and quaint location, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of traffic and tourist crowds.
With car rental from the airport aplenty and affordable, the beach and other attractions are easily accessible, all within 30 mins drive away.
Breakfast spread was good, more than enough to get you ready for the day's adventure.

Misleading!

This property is in an isolated location. There is no beach and their saltwater pool is essentially a garbage collection that you are forced to look at while viewing the ocean from the main pool area. The main pool is nice, but there were many families with young children around the pool creating chaos. If you're looking for a quiet location to enjoy around the pool this is not it. Additionally alcohol is not allowed around to pool so you can'y even enjoy a beer while laying by the pool on a hot day. The room we stayed in was a converted sea transport canister. The room is okay, but this was not in the description and is misleading. They have a restaurant, but it's not open for supper so you'll have to get a taxi or grab into town for supper. The staff were friendly.

I can’t say enough about this resort. The staff and the service are excellent. We were there for one week and so relaxing and quiet. Too bad we could not have stayed for one more week as we were in another resort for one week and we had such a bad experience. The morning breakfast is so very good as they have different kinds of foods everyday. Although there is no beach the pool and resort area make up for it. I highly recommend this resort if anyone wants to visit Langkawi.

Clean, peaceful and relaxing

We stayed for a week at the Ocean Residence Resort and thoroughly enjoyed it. The resort is quite near Kuah, the capital city, but not close enough to be able to walk there so some people may find the resort slightly isolated, especially in the evening. There is no restaurant on site or nearby, which is a little annoying, so to eat you will have to get a taxi to Kuah - £4/€5 by taxi or £2 with UBER. If you don’t mind a takeaway the staff on site will organise one for you which usually takes about 45 mins to arrive.
The resort sits right on the sea front and consists of several detached units, a block made from shipping containers and a row of 11 units with a swimming pool in front which they call ‘the longhouse’. Our room was in the longhouse and was clean and comfortable, the pool which is right outside the bedroom door, is fantastic for an early morning dip. There’s also an infinity pool that looks across the ocean which is lovely. We were there for a week and found the place relaxing and peaceful and the staff friendly and helpful. We hired a car for 3 days, organised though the resort, and that allowed us to really see the island, which I have to say is beautiful and so easy to drive round. We loved it here and would return without hesitation.

Some good, some very average

The location is amazing, the sea / island views are to die for. There was a very friendly receptionist team and a good breakfast, we had an average room, very big but the upholstery on the sofa needs a good cleaning, no hot water in the sinks ( not even piped for hot water) and everything quite dated. The restaurant closes at 2pm and only serves a very limited range of drinks. So you have to either hire a car or it’s taxis everywhere for dinner as there is nothing “walkable” There is no beach but lovely grassed areas to soak up the sun and there is a lovely pool. This place is really a bit of an enigma. Don’t use their shuttle service either, it’s twice that of a taxi from the airport. Tip use either Uber or Grab and you’ll get great deals on taxis.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Fantastic Spot! Exceptional Staff!

I can’t say enough about how much we loved this property. Exceptional value, fantastic service, great location. We loved it!! We stayed on the second floor in the contaainer building and enjoyed a fantastic view. The room was huge and lovely, Great patio deck. Though there was no restaraunt on site, the staff arrange for dinner to be delivered. Six course Indian dinner - delivered - for under 20 bucks US. GREAT. Staff was amazing. We got their early so they stored our bags and chilled our wine. When we got back - they had moved EVERYTHING to our room and placed the wine in our fridge. Keep in mind these folks are Muslim- made us feel SO welcome. Then when we left - my husband left his wedding ring the room. They called our cab so we could come back and retrieve it!! Staff also made arrangements for our cabs to the cable car and the airport. Really can’t say enough about how great this place is!! VERY quiet and lovely!! Outstanding!!

Nice and quiet hotel.\nStaffs are friendly.

We are 4adults staying in container house with 2 rooms. The room is spacious and comfort. The hotel environment is quite and green. Breakfast variety is good. The electricity cut of a few times on the 2nd night due to the lightning but it recovered in less then 10mins everytime. The only disappointing is there are no phone and emergency call number provided in the room. Overall we are happy with this hotel and will come back agin.

Unassuming

Fine, affordable, quiet and unassuming sort of place. Car hire and taxis readily available so easy to get to Kuah or Cenang. The pools look good but I found the water additives a bit too industrial- climate thing I guess.

Relaxing break

Very relaxing stay, with good facilities. Staff could not be more helpful. Would have been nice if the restaurant was open at night too. That said it wasn't expensive to take a taxi in to town to eat. Bit too far away from centre to walk but good for a quiet break. Amused by the blue pint the Longhouse pool left on ones toes, though it did come off!

Nothing but peace and beautiful scenery

There is nothing other than pools and the view at this hotel. Services are minimal. They do not serve dinner. There are no nearby restaurants. So if you want somewhere lively this place is not for you. But if you want a peaceful hideaway (depending on other guests) and intend to rent a car, or use taxis then this might be perfect for you. Room furnishings and bedding are a little worn, but all very clean. Very reasonable rate for ocean (not beach) front hotel. I loved it.

Nice hotel, but out the way.

Lovely scenery, islands in the background which is beaut, but would be bored staying for long. Out the way and have to get taxis everywhere. Room perfectly clean, staff so helpful and lovely. No spa though. Breakie and lunches nice. No dinner, have to get it from local take away which deliver. Took 1.5 hours to come and wasn't very hot.
Fine for our stop over.

Quiet and nice hotel for family.

The hotel has good sea view, the staff were friendly and bathroom was clean. We had a pleasant stay.. And would not hesitate to return to this place if we are in Langkawi. But my kids were frustrated for not being able to spot otters anywhere around the mangrove pool.

Great place to stay with kids nice pool and views

Very peaceful place 20 min from airport great views cost 30 ringgit by taxi from airport to get to hotel . get a rental car. For 70 ringgit per day we'll worth it . Because of where it is to get around you need a car . The hotel and staff and views etc worth getting a car and staying here

Good but could have been better

Room was great, food good (restaurant only open till 2:30pm). Staff were courteous however didn't go out of their way to be hospitable. I stayed here to be out of the hubbub of the tourist area which it was great however I was disappointed there was no sandy beach here.

WoW ! is the one word !!!

The best resort we stayed throught out our trip... We stayed in a Longhouse which has a varanda opening to the swimming pool.. The room is really luxurious with amenties like TV, fridge,sofa sets, hair dryer, soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, shower caps etc.. They give complementary breakfast which is buffet and you will love it.. They also gave us an organic their factory made products such as moisturiser and a skin whitening cream as complenetary and organic / healthy welcom drink too. their location does not have beach but faces to a shallow part of ocean.. they have parking spaces too.
From langkawi airport you can get a car hired for rental and drive to hotel.. it took around 15-20min max for us to reach there. Roads are awesome in langkawi and no traffic at all.. All together rated 5 from my side.

lovely stay.

Except for the lack of internet connection, it was a great stay. Very comfortable rooms. Given the tropical environment we had frequent house lizards to entertain, but the view from the hotel property overlooked every small issue. The hotel itself is situated in a secluded area. So be sure to rent a car to be able to move around freely. Car rental is very inexpensive in langkawi.

Holiday in the middle of nowhere

The hotel is really in the middle of nowhere, if we did not rent a car we have been stuck and basically it have been impossible to get some food in the evening. The beach is not existen, it is only rocks. The pool is okay and can be used. The breakfast is very basic, not something you looks forward to. I regret we did not check the location of the hotel in advance, and this is for sure not the hotels problem. The staff are very friendly and gives a good service, and the seawiev from our room was very good.

The access road should be upgraded.

There are few under construction building and its really spoiled our mood for the good stay. There was no barricade to separate the building under construction. It means there could be a safety issue where they put the construction material at everywhere, i.e, near the roadside to restaurant.

The main road to access the hotel should be provided with proper road. Its just 150 metres from the main road but the road to residence is really dissapointed.

Nice hotel near the beach-good to have rented car

Nice hotel near the beach, very good views. However, need more directions to be provided along the road from the airport to Kuah town, specially since the hotel lies on the opposite side of the road. Since it lies atleast 4-5 kms before Kuah town, it might be a good idea to have rented car. Also, the fooding options are minimal - the car should take care of the same. Other than this, this hotel has a great view, an excellent set of people as its staff. Way off from the hustle bustle of Pentai Cenang, it offers a getaway to enjoy the tranquility.

The locatiob of the residences is away from all the touristy places which is good if you have rented a car and want a quiet place to relax. However, they offer very limited service. No dinnner is provided and breakfast did not seem too appetising so we skipped it. No intercoms or room service.

Not worth the money, No service after 6 pm

Pros: The hotel rooms were good and beds comfortable. You get pools by your room. The staff are helpful and can help with guiding you on your stay at Langkavi. Cons: The hotel is far away from most of the tourist locations and restaurants. Also it does not have a restaurant. So If you dont have a vehicle, food might be a major problem. The room service and reception are open only from 9 am to 6 pm, and if you need anything post these hours you cant get it from the hotel. Not even drinking water. The infinity pool and room side pool are quite small.

Awesome getaway

My family is more on swimming pool family rather than the beach. So this hotel has fulfilled our preference perfectly since the pool is right outside of our room. My daughter has had her time of her life here. The environment is very peaceful. It makes you feel like you are not in Malaysia.

Still Work in Progress, But Should Get Better

This place is still relatively new, and many things are still work-in-progress. Some things are still not exactly working optimally. Once everything settles down and the teething problems are ironed out, this place has the makings of something good. The folks there were generally helpful and friendly, but they were only available in the day. We had some problems with the wi-fi connectivity and the shower on one of the nights, but the office was closed, and we did not know where to go to ask for assistance.

Beautiful views

My boyfriend and I stayed there for 4 & 1/2 days. We booked Studio B, but on arrival was given a much nicer room in the eco house. Our room had beautiful views, and was large and comfortable. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the bathroom, especially the shower. Its quite small, and the shower was tiny. Location is nice, a bit far from where you want to be, but its quiet and feels safe. Its very much a self serve kind of place - i think a small tourist information area would be really helpful. Overall a very pleasant stay, but if i was to go to Langkawi again, i might choose somewhere a little closer to Cenang Beach.

Hotellet har været virkelig lækkert engang det jeg helt sikker på, men nu er hotellet meget forfaldent, desværre. Det trænger til en kærlig hånd. Der er rigtig flot udsigt ved poolen, men vores værelse var fyldt med skimmelsvamp i både loftet og og badet. Hotellets restaurant var lukket, hvilket vi havde fået af vide på forhånd, så vi gjorde brug af Grab. Personalet var tilgengæld meget serviceminded, men prisen var simpelhen for dyr, når der var skimmelsvamp og det trængte til en renovering.
