🔑 Check-In & Service
Seamless Process:
Check-in and check-out are incredibly easy. I really appreciated that they don't require a deposit like other hotels; you simply return your room card at the end of your stay.
Outstanding Hospitality:
Mister Bernard was so friendly, helpful, and hospitable throughout our entire stay! All the staff at Voyage Retreat are equally helpful and friendly, and it's wonderful that they are all locals.
Easy Accessibility:
Even though the pathway leading to the rooms is quite hilly, you can easily request a buggy service to get around. And for those with elders and kids, I think you can highlight to them for they to give you to a lower room.
🛏️ The Room & Comfort
Spacious & Bright:
As you can see in the pictures, the room itself gets plenty of natural lighting and features really high ceilings. Because of this, the room barely feels stuffy or hot during the afternoon and evening.
Aircond/Fan:
The air conditioning gets pretty cold, and there is also a ceiling fan provided.
High-End Bedding:
The bedsheets, pillows, and blankets are all spotless, clean, and completely odorless. The mattress is quite firm and thick, reminiscent of what you would find in a high-end hotel, and the pillows are fluffy and very comfortable to sleep on.
In-Room Amenities:
They provide a water purifier/filter machine right inside the room, which is incredibly convenient so you don't have to walk out to the receptionist or cafe area just to get water.
Privacy with a View:
The balcony and windows face directly toward the forest, giving you excellent privacy.
🚿 Bathroom & Amenities
Spotless Cleanliness:
Both the bathroom and toilet are perfectly clean with absolutely no musty smell. The provided towels are surprisingly absorbent, spotless, and fresh.
Shower Facilities:
The bathroom features both a standard shower and a water heater. The provided shower gel and shampoo smell absolutely amazing.
Other Amenities:
They provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, a shower cap, and even sanitary bags.
🍽️ Breakfast (Le Pont Cafe)
Breakfast is served at the Le Pont Cafe right in front of the lodge. The food is excellent and went way beyond our expectations, with portions that are more than generous for one person.
Menus:
Crab Curry Mee (The Winner):
Absolutely delicious! The broth is thick, flavorful, beautifully balanced, and not too spicy. It was the absolute highlight of the menu.
Nasi Lemak:
A very interesting take as it includes fish and prawns. The taste is good, similar to a standard hotel nasi lemak.
Western Options:
Both the English Breakfast and the egg mayo croissant were great as well. The croissant is flaky and fluffy.
Desserts/Kuih:
They serve fresh watermelon alongside a rotation of traditional local desserts that change daily, including seri muka, karipap, kuih ketayap, koci, and keria.
🛡️ Safety & Peace of Mind
Secure Environment:
At night, there is a guard doing rounds, so you never have to worry about safety. Honestly, the island itself feels very safe, and the property is surrounded by local houses.
Really recommended to stay here if you're looking for a private, quite, clean, comfortable, picturesque place to stay in Pangkor. The only downside is the parking space is very limited. However, everything else is perfect!
ps: kinda sad I cannot upload the full video of the room tour in here, as the room is really pretty. It's inspired by Bali vibe :')
