Bon Ton Resort

Bon Ton is a resort that celebrates tradition. Guest chalets are traditional Malay houses located in jungle surroundings. The restaurant is excellent with a diverse menu. The grounds are filled with birds and bird songs. It has a pool. The staff were friendly and fun. A sanctuary for cats and dogs is adjacent. A few of the cats lorded over the place, as cats do.

Just an interesting place. Our kind of place.

My opinion about this resort I have to make it linked to the 3 cabins in which we have stayed.

First cabin. Yellow orchid. It is a beautiful cabin but has a serious problem of thermal conditioning. The air conditioning is either broken or not enough to keep the room at a moderately comfortable temperature...it was really awful. We had to ask to change cabins the next day. Also the bed was really very bad. Small and bouncy at the slightest movement.

We were moved to the lagoon cabin. This one is absolutely wonderful. Everything is great and spectacular. Generous air conditioning and a delicious big bed (I think it is the most expensive...we stayed 4 days there because of the manager's kindness and attention).

The last two days we have been in the blue ginger. It is not like the lagoon...but I loved it anyway. I think it is the best option in the middle ground.

Otherwise, wonderful pool. Wonderful ambiance. Wonderful service and customer service.

Thank you for 6 spectacular nights (1st night I don't count...curse the yellow orchid air conditioner).

Bottom line. A wonderful, delightful and fortunate choice.

Alright, get ready for my raving review.

BonTon first of all made me feel the most connected to my Malay root through the original structure of traditional homes and the environment around it. The fact that these houses have probably sheltered 4-5 generations in the past, and now re-celebrated through this gorgeous setting of a resort, is simply amazing. I was just in awe the first day we checked into Laguna (our room) and can’t stop admiring the details in the house and the view outside.

I especially love the little details such as the batik cloth prepared for us in the bathroom, the frgranced seasalt for bath, the organic shower foam and shampoo, open style bathroom that is spacious with option to open the window for natural lights to flow in..

I unpacked my luggage and placed all my clothes in the antique wardrobe, and placed my jewelries into the vanity box prepared. I was living in a different era for a bit, really felt like I was taken into a different experience of home-living. Absolutely loved it.

Staffs were super attentive and friendly, accommodating, and I’ve missed Ina already as I wrote this review. Thanks for the hospitality, we felt at home. Cocktails were great and pool time is our favourite! And finally…

The cattos and doggos of BonTon.
I’ll come back for them for sure. Love how I felt very much at home in BonTon! Thank you for the experience💕

We came for lunch only and didn't stay at the resort. Very friendly staff, they even let us use the pool.

Highly recommend the laksa and the aperol spritz.

Perfect place to stay, it has all right components for a relaxing break with friendly staff, good food and lovely traditional kampung homes providing a rare glimpse into the historic Malay way of life. It’s so nice of the cats who own these magnificant structures to let visitors stay in them.

The most wonderful stay I’ve ever had in Malaysia. I enjoyed my stay in the Yellow Orchid, a tiny wooden house with an open air shower. The decor is rustic, well thought out, and beautiful. There are also many lovely cats around to keep you company.

The staff of the resort are well trained, polite and attentive. I had such a pleasant experience here and would recommend anyone visiting Langkawi to make Bon Ton your choice of accommodation as it will really complete your Langkawi getaway experience!

Bon Ton surpassed my expectations. The experience is what I expected from the pics so if you’re prissy about things, it may not be for you. My only drawback is the 5:00ish am call to worship over the loudspeaker through the air. The restaurant may not look like much but it’s criminal that the place isn’t busier. It was by far the best meal that I had in my three week trip through Asia.

Nice place, magnificant environment. Show some heritage malay design house. So calm. You guys need to come and stay here.

This place was delightful. The service amazing. It's been four year and I'm amazed on how beautiful the pictures it took are, all creds to the place for being this scenic canvas but also a place where time travels at a peaceful pace. I highly recommend you to stay there and book a place wit the outdoor bathroom, it's so dreamy.

A dining experience that encapsulates Langkawi's essence awaits at the restaurant within Bonton Resort. Here's my heartfelt take on what makes it exceptional:

- Ambience: Stepping into the restaurant feels like stepping into a cocoon of tranquility. The ambience is inviting, a blend of comfort and elegance that sets the stage for a memorable evening.

- Gorgeous Sunset Views with Nature: As the sun dips below the horizon, the restaurant comes to life with hues of orange and pink. The view, harmoniously blending with nature's beauty, transforms the dining experience into something magical.

- Only Outside Covered Dining: Embracing the outdoors while being sheltered adds a unique twist. The thoughtfulness of offering covered outdoor seating enhances the connection with the surroundings.

- Local and Western Cuisine: The menu unfolds like a culinary journey. Offering a medley of local and western dishes, it ensures a diverse range of flavors to explore and savor.

- Amazing Cocktails: Crafted with precision, the cocktails are a delightful addition to the dining experience. Each sip reveals layers of taste that perfectly complement the ambiance.

- Live Music on Sundays: Sundays take on a special note with the introduction of live music. The soothing melodies create a melodic backdrop, enhancing the leisurely atmosphere.

- Bonus Animal Shelter: A heartwarming surprise awaits nearby in the form of an animal shelter. This thoughtful touch reflects the establishment's commitment to creating a positive impact on the community.

Best rustic Malaysian village resort. Features authentic century-old Malay traditional houses. Very spacious homes and tastefully furnished. Healing, serene surrounding filled with greeneries. A few lovely cats to greet you when you return.

Stayed for a couple of days at Bon Ton. The resort is tranquil and the house we stayed in was beautiful and comfortable. During the day we would just enjoy the quiet and the nice wind breezing through the open windows of our house at the hottest part of the day.

We ate most meals from their restaurant, and loved them all . Their dessert menu is great ( ate all + most of their cake of days for the few days there ) and again quite impressed of the value of the restaurant. Beautiful sunset views, nice live music once a week. The staff and manager are pleasant & helpful on things to do around.

Overall a great place to unwind that ticked all my boxes.

An authentic Malay experience with beautiful lodges and amazing food.
We stayed in Black Coral, a 100-year old nobleman's house. The decor and restoration of this property was stunning. We enjoyed the wet room shower and outdoor bath tub too! Though we were worried about mosquitos in the room, the housekeeping team and their turndown service were so helpful to close the windows and layout the mosquito nets while we were out. We were also provided with mosquito mats, repellent and spray, so mozzies weren't an issue at all! If you are a light sleeper, you may want to consider ear-plugs due to the night-time nature noise and call for Fajr prayer, however we found it quite relaxing and all part of the authentic experience.
We were lucky enough to stay on the same night as the Sunday Busking Club with Joy Victor and Ida Mariana (and a very special surprise guest!!). The entertainment was great and the food was the best we had in Langkawi.
Another reason for our stay was hearing about the animal rescue and shelter on-site, with plenty of cats roaming the grounds... we even had a regular visitor to our room - Mr Earl Grey. The animals are so accustomed to people and were really no bother at all. There is opportunity to help out with the shelter and we were even able to help walk Skinny, an old rescue dog, for some morning exercise. Overall, this is a wonderful property with a big heart and we would certainly stay again.

The house we stayed in was White Frangipani, a 140-year-old house saved from real kampung. The room has modern facilities and everything we need including preparation for mosquitoes, bathtub, tv, fridge etc. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Sham, the manager, went the extra mile to make sure our stay was comfortable and explained the heritage, history, and stories of the houses. One of the maintenance staff also helped us with our broken bicycle. The houses are surrounded by greenery and situated not far from the airport and Pantai Cenang, with lots of food options. The bread and cake from the breakfast are really tasty. There are a few cats here and there, but they do not bother us and are very friendly when we want to play with them.

Beautiful place and set up, for was great. They have an animal shelter as well open from 10-1 pm

The restaurant
A taste that I have never been tried before. There is a big surprise every single bite. Friendly staff. Animal friendly. The environment is amazing.

Our stay
The washroom was amazing. During the day, the temperature in the room is a bit hot but at night it was just nice. The view in this resort is amazing.

The bar
You must also check out the bar. The interior was so authentic.

Enjoying a very nice dinner in superb original malayan surrounding! The evening before we attended a wonderful concert with Tan Sherman who we met again at our dinner ♥😍 The waiter (Sham) customized me a salad and my absolute favorite side dish, a marvellous mashed potatoe, the best on the island so far I have tasted 😋💗 Recommending Bon Ton‘s kitchen all day long! 😀💖 Fab drinks, better than in St.Regis we heard! 🍹🍻 (IPA as well!)

We really enjoyed our all too brief stay for our honeymoon. The Palm Villa was lovely along with help from the staff and small yet thoughtful touches from the breakfast goodies to the amenities in the room. We will definitely make this our place to stay in Langkawi when we return. Thanks to the wonderful Bon Ton staff!

Nice food in a wonderful calm ambience. Great for pet lovers too - as they have a crew of dogs and cats to keep you company. The food price is reasonable and I would highly recommend having their espresso for your morning coffee😄
Their dessert 3 layer ice cream is superb as well

The accommodation is in old traditional Malay huts. The feel of the place is old worldly, very comfortable, clean, great bathroom. Quiet, though we were there during Ramadam.
