Stayed at Awana Porto Malai Langkawi - Langkawi, Malaysia.

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.

We went to Langkawi for a quiet beach holiday but ended up doing so much more, very easily !!! A very good holiday destination even in the rainy season. A destination that we would definately recommend.

Langkawi was absolutely beautiful. We went in September which is low season, which meant that it was really quiet and peaceful. We stayed in a resort called the Tropical Resort (Pantai Tengah) which was wonderful. They only have fifteen bungalows, which were clean and very peaceful.
I would definitely recommend a snorkelling or diving trip to Pulau Payar (a marine park). It costs about 130 ringitt per person and it is really worth it. We swam with black tip reef sharks, swordfish, angelfish to name but a few. The coral was beautiful - well worth the day trip!
Recommended restaurants would be The HOT Wok Cafe, Wonder Seasons, Rern Thai and the Boom Boom Cafe - all served amazing food at good prices!

Stayed at Langkawi Village Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.

It was my first stay in Langkawi and I am sure it will not be the last. The place is delightful and highly relaxing. I have never been bothered by any hawker on the beach or anywhere.
Food is especially delicious and I could not find any restaurant where food disappointed me. All were excellent.
Taxi fares are reasonable and though taxis have no meter, all fares are fixed and clearly indicated.
I did not take any tour, but spent half a day shopping in Kuah, which was enough. There are plenty of stores selling handcraft all around and it seems to me there is no need to compare between them as prices are EXACTLY the same everywhere, with all stores offering a 30% rebate. I could not find as good deals as I did in Bali, hence I would recommend not to buy anything at any price.
My last commment is about the timing. I stayed in Langkawi at about Easter time, ideally between the high season ending in March, and the rain season starting in May. Therefore the hotel and restaurants were almost empty and my stay all the more relaxing.

Stayed at City Bayview Langkawi - Langkawi, Malaysia.

Langkawi is a beautiful place to visit. We were there for the Ironman Malaysia and the whole race course was superb. We visited the usual tourist spots such as as the Underwater World, the Waterfalls, the Craft Museum and the Galerie Museum, which were all great. We discovered a good restaurant called Dominos which catered more to the Western taste.
