Rebak Island Resort & Marina, Langkawi

We had a wonderful time as a family of three at Rebak recently. We booked a 1 bed suite and were pleased to get a pull out bed added to our room (without us asking) for our four year old. The suite was spacious and the bathroom was huge, with a hot walk in shower and a separate bath. The only issue we had was that the upstairs neighbours walked like elephants at odd hours and unfortunately the sound insulation between the two suites was poor, but after a few restless nights we asked the brilliant Rebak staff if we could move, and were relocated the same day without fuss, wish we’d asked earlier! I’d recommend bringing a Fire TV stick or similar if you want to watch TV, we don’t really but occasionally would have benefitted from having a bribe to get our daughter out of the midday sun and the pool she loved! The Discovery channel only goes so far when you’re four… While on the island, we tried to do a number of the complimentary activities, including a free tennis lesson which our four year old loved, feeding the birds and the nature walk. We spent a lot of time in the two pools, and at the beach too. You can arrive earlier than check in and comfortably enjoy a day at the pool and beach with no issues, we will take advantage of this if we come again. Breakfast buffet was good, I tried to eat different foods each day and we could easily survive until dinner on our meals. We also ate an evening meal at the restaurant on site most days, and thought the burgers, rendang pizza and paneer masala were especially delicious. We only used the ferry on three days, I found the lack of a queuing system a bit worrying (British roots!) but to be fair we never missed a boat. It seemed as though additional trips were added to make sure everyone got across when they wanted to buy I could be wrong?
