Holiday at the resort

Excellent location, very attentive staff, good food and well appointed room. Reception and travelling to and from airport well organised. Would thoroughly recommend this resort. Barbeque on the beach for two can be spoilt by wind gusts - full charge still made for spoilt food. Have doubts if the European wines are well stored. Both times that we tried wine was "över the top". Australian was OK
Great First Visit

We stayed at the Tang Rhu for three nights in early Feb 2008, our only complaint was that it was too short. Four or Five nights would have been better. The resort is off a very high quality through out. The accommodation was very nice and spacious. we were in a Cahaya Room, the bathroom was enormous, the bed was erormous it was very nice and worth paying a little extra. We (my wife and I) stayed on the all inclusive meal plan, booked in advance. This is highly recommended. You get breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, evening meal, mini bar, room service, drinks by the pool including ice cream floats and smoothies plus free use of wind surfing and boat sailing all included. The only exception to all of this is alcoholic drinks, that you have to pay for. There are three nice rest's to eat in the resort all with differant menu's and the food was off a very high standard. For info - Food prices are OK by UK standards but are high compared to Malaysia. Wine in particular is expensive at 200 - 500 RM a bottle. Other drinks were fine - Gin and Tonic was 15 RM, a small beer 11 RM. The beach and pools are super and the level of service is 5 star. Transport to and from the hotel in again included in the all inclusive rate and is good. The only slight downside is the location of the hotel on the island. The resort location is great, next to perhaps the best beach on the island, however, the resort is tucked away in a corner of the island and some people just stayed in the resort and did not see much of the island which is perhaps a shame. I say perhaps because the resort is so nice that it is very difficult to drag yourself away. We stayed in two other resorts in Langkawi on this trip and spend the last three days at the T Rhu. A great location for up to a week and especially for those on honeymoon or who want an upscale resort on a great beach.
Idealic location
We stayed at their busiest time over the christmas/new year period, when the hotel was full, and at no time did we have to queue, wait, not find a sun bed, or all the usual things you find in a hotel that is full. This hotel is situated in such a location that you can not but have a romantic time. The location is remote, so not much to do during the day without a 30 mins transit outside the resort, but that is the hotels selling point. There are some free activities, some reasonably priced activies (ie mangrove kayaking), and they do provide a shuttle bus to Kuah town at a very reasonable cost. It is not a place for young families or those that want to be active all day. After 4 days we had run out of things to do at the hotel. The facilities are good, excellent pools, sun beds, beach. The food is also good and excellent well prepared, but having to book a table in 'the Rhu' at 0600 is not good, even if it is the premier restaurant. The other restuarants do not have the same issue. The food is good, and the all inclusive food/none alcholic beverages is essential. Alcohol is reasonable, but wine VERY expensive. There is not much in the way of entertainment other than a band by the 'SANDS' pool. But this is not the hotel for a busy social night life. Staff are all very friendly, all wear name badges so you can say 'HI' to the gardener as well as the front of house staff. It is a hotel in Malaysia so somethings may seem not to be quite the same as US or European standards, but being on holiday in such a location was magical. We had read some bad reports about staff attitudes, condition of furniture, towels, sun beds, but have to say our experiance was that all were acceptable for a hotel that appears to be very popular with all nationalities. As with many remote hotels, there are some 'stalls' along the beach, but are discreet and do not impact on this fabulous location. If you want something more liveliy this is not the hotel for you (try the Pentai Cheang area), but if you are after a really relaxing time then that is ensured.
The all-inclusive holiday
Most of us have been to many beach resorts throughout the world - it could be highly popular (and expensive) resorts like the Maldives, or nearer to home like Phuket or Bali, or even closer to home like Bintan or Batam. We are cloistered in our respective resorts with their own private beach and spa - it shouldn't make a difference, right? The Tanjung Rhu all-inclusive package offers an excellent room, breath-taking beach front, world-class cuisine, friendly and efficient staff for a very reasonable price and I will most certainly be back and recommend this to my friends and families (this was incidentally highly recommended to me by relatives and colleagues).

We picked this hotel primarily because of its reputation of the best beach on the island and from what we saw it certainly was after hiring a car and looking around the island. The hotel was only 30 mins from Kuah although we rarely had the urge to leave the resort because it was so nice. We opted for the all inclusive package, which meant you could order any food any restaurant any time as much as you liked and I've got to say it is some of the better food we have encountered. This hotel certainly is better than some of your well known 5 star international boring hotels, with the same food on the menus in every one of their locations around the globe. It ranged from wood fired pizza at the poolside bar to mediterranean/arabic style food at Saffron beachside restaurant to the french inspired menu, silverservice The Rhu restaurant. Even though the beach and the water were superb (compared to Australian standards) the pool complexes were lovely. We were travelling with a 2 year old and 4 year old and I believe it has been the best, most relaxing family holiday we have had so far. The kids loved it. We loved it. We met many people there that come back every year or were either on their second or third visit back there. We will definitely go back to Langkawi and this hotel will be the one.
