Langkawi and Pentai Cenang are very relaxing and quite laid back. There are sites to see but if you just want to laze and chill out that's fine too. A trip on the cable car is hair-raising but worth the visit. A visit to the seven wells requires a bit of walking and quite strenuous in the heat. We visited many restuarants, The Lighthouse and Bon-Ton slightly more expensive but both in beautiful settings especially the Bon-Ton! Narelle at the Bon-Ton invited us as day visitors to spend some time at the resort and use its facilities. Wonderful frozen cocktails and the best dessert (chocolate tort with tiramsu ) I have ever tasted!!!
Please visit and say hello from Bill and Ed (the 2 Irish guys) to Uma and Theo at "Chompa Chompa" pub and restaurant. She is a wonderful, delightfully eccentric Tamil woman who will immediately make you feel welcome. She is also a great cook! Theo, also very welcoming serves a mean drink as many of our late nights can testify! Food and drink very reasonable. Also visit Debbie's Irish Pub next to Chompa Chompa. A bit of a misnomer as there is nothing to suggest an Irish pub and only qualifies as Debbie's husband is Irish. She too will make you feel most welcome.

Langkawi is a great island and it is very cheap to hire a car or moped for the day and explore. The roads are very quiet so it is very easy to get around. Places I would recommend to see is the cable car which is very high but you get fantastic views.There are a few shops and coffee shops there too. The waterfalls are worth a visit but they are not really in full flow during dry season. Underwater world is also excellent place and there is also duty free shopping right next door. Another good duty free shopping place is in Kuah with shops there that sell lots of souveniers. There are lots of beach/sea activities in Langkawi with jet skiing, paragliding etc.
There are lots of restaurants to visit I would recommend The Lighthouse and The Beach Garden Resort where you can either have your dinner sitting out on the beach or inside. another good place is The Matahari. They all do a great choice of Asian and Western food but the Lighthouse is my very favourite place. There is also a good choice of local food stalls which are cheaper but they also have excellent food. A great place to drink and stay out until the early hours is Champor Champor. The Coco Jam Nightclub is another lively place which is at Langkawi Village Resort. It doesn't really get going though until after 1am!! Langkawi is also a fantastic place to just switch off, relax and do nothing at all but soak up the sun, laze on the beach and have a dip in the sea. Its fantastic!!

Langkawi is a lovely island although the beach and the water are not the best in Malaysia. Best way to see it is to hire motorbikes and explore, can also find nicer beaches than Pantai Cenang this way. For nightlife, the Reggae bar on Pantai Cenang is the best bet. Malaysian restaurant part of Sunvillage in a fantastic place and the Thai in the Pelangi Beach resort is also very good.

I've joined a day tour to Marine Park and play snorkelling there, it was interesting that I can swim with many fishes and little sharks. Moreover, I went to Coco Beach resturant for dinner, food is ok and price is acceptable (a little bit expensive in local cost of living) but you can see local dance performance and very very beautiful sunset there.

Hire a car. Take in the Chinese village and Cable car up to the top, walk down to the middle station and then ride down. Walk along the beach to the bar next door for a cooling drink & chat with the locals. Turn right out of the hotel & within a couple of hundred mts is a great Chinese restuarant for fresh fish & prawns.

My first trip to Langkawi was about 7 years ago. Now, there are some new buildings, especially in Kuah town, but nothing much has happened. The Underwater world was really very disappointing. For the fee paid we expected to see some or at least one life show. In my opinion, besides the shopping, Langkawi has still not much to offer.

Langkawi island is a very quiet place. If you want to go out and party there is one cool bar, cocojam. I would recommend renting a car or jeep and touring the island, it doesn't take long, but there are some cool things to see. The water is very warm, but not as clear as I expected.

If not for the rental car that take us around,
travelling around Langkawi is quite incovenience at times.
With the rental car (quite expensive - Nissan Sentra cost Rm$110 daily as compare to JB), we
travel around the islands visiting most of the luxurious hotel (like Andarman, Tanjung Rhu resort, Berjaya resort etc..) We also visit the Underwater world and Crocodile farm but nothing special, nice to visit some of the nice beaches along Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah, Pantai Kok, Pantai Tanhjung Rhu and Pantai Datai..when driving around deserted area like the Andaman Datai Bay , beware of narrow bend and one way road..quite scary when you are approaching the hotel whereby you have to drive up a deep curving slope...but the Andaman hotel offers very exotic tropical rainforest getaway..along mid way you can have a very nice view of the Pulau Dayang Bunting lake. We also visit the Eagle square and Lagenda Park at Jetty area, the Budaya Graft and Cultural Complex, Langkawi Crystal, Yacht Club and Air Hangat Village etc.. a pity that we miss the Pulau Payar Marine park due to kids
with us may not be suitable...overrall quite enjoyable trip but whenever anything on Langkawi (e.g duty free shopping mall etc), they are talking sbout small scale type...you will not expect big shopping mall..and if you are drinker and smoker, beers are cheaper than mineral water and exercising of your lungs are very affordable.

Langkawi is ideal for a relaxing holiday. It is a beautiful island and relatively uncommercialised. We visited Langkawi in April, in low season. So their were very few other tourists, yet everything was still open. Pentai Cenang has several good restaurants (foremost of these being at the Beach Garden resort) and bars and a superb beach; clean and quiet with golden sand and clear warm water. In Pentai Cenang the Underwater World is well worth a visit and the Rice Garden was an unexpectedly interesting and enjoyable experience. There is ample opportunity for water sports and the highlight of our holiday was a day out snorkelling at a nearby coral reef; something definately not to be missed.
Also, everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful.
