Island is today one of the most desirable and loved resorts in Malaysia. The resort is well known for the excellent service extended by its caring staff and its idyllic location amidst acres of tropical virgin forest and breathtaking white sandy beach which fronts the resort.

The current management team of the property will remain in place and both parties will work to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.

Mr. Tan Boon Lee, CEO, Hotel Division of IGB added, "We want to place on record our appreciation of the hard work that Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts have put in all these years to make Pan Pacific Pangkor Island what it is today, especially in estab-lishing a culture among the resort's staff of personalised care for guests and each other."
