I would love to visit a resort in South East Asia.
Need to be 5-star deluxe and very relaxing.
Has enough facilities, restaurants and pastimes to do within the resort
that
I will not need to worry about finding things to do.
Prefer something luxurious.
I would like to go to Philippines, Sabah, Indonesia or Pacific. Not
Thailand
Any recommendations please ?

But the Philipines is not considered South East Asia.

I'd say it is.

What do you consider it? Part of Polynesia?

Of course it is S.E. Asia. That's why it's an Asean member.

Re resorts, what about something like the Datai or the Andaman in
Langkawi, Malaysia?

A.S.E.A.N. is essentially Indonesia + , that's how Suharto REALLY
annexed other countries, not through military forces, but through
diplomatic forces. And that's the reason on why Timor Leste was
ordered on not to join A.S.E.A.N. (a.k.a. Indonesia +) desite its
location make it appropiate as part of South East Asia.

Who knows? Maybe Peter Loud use the same reasoning on the Phillipines?

As for the originial poster's question.

Well... You might want to be a litte bit more specific on your travel
route, like which part of the country that you want to visit?

After all, for example you mentioned Indonesia as one of the country
you want to visit. Indonesia got around 13.000 islands, which one did
you want to visit?

Count on EAC for some really bizarre claims. ASEAN
Indonesia-dominated? Are you on crack?

If you want luxury, it HAS to be the Datai on Lankawi. Ask for a
jungle villa.

The Datai is great, in a jungle villa or in the main building above it.
Photos on my web site - and also of Pangkor Laut Resort, which we've
visited 3 times and which I heartily recommend.

I'd give the Datai the edge - the food is much better and you can also
wander along the beach to the Gulai House at the Andaman. We were there
for 4 days in February and I had hired a car to get about a bit. It
stayed in the car park. We were so relaxed that we never even thought
of going out.

I don't play but there is also a golf course, and the surf boards, cats.
etc. are in good nick. My wife says the spa is to die for.
