Advantages: Huge room, great pools, lots of facilities at the hotel Disadvantages: A bit on the expensive side, the beach is not that nice
When we were planning the trip to Langkawi we had trouble getting a grasp on where to stay on the island. In the end we decided to go for a hotel located on the beach know as Pantai Cenang. I guess Langkawi can be compared to the island of Phuket in Thailand but note that the price level of hotels seems to be higher on Langkawi compared to Phuket. After looking at reviews on TripAdvisor we ended up booking a room at the hotel Pelangi beachresort and we booked through their website http://www.pelangibeachresort.com/ . We had to pay 533 Ringgit (about 75£) for the room per night and this did not include breakfast.
On March 25th we went from Perhentian Island to Langkawi. It was a long day as we had to get up early, catch the boat to the main land, drive to the airport at Kota Bharu, go to KL and from there take the flight to Langkawi ...

on a small boat into the mangroves, where you will see the tree root system a maze in the water and the peaceful scenery is a must. Some operators feed the wild eagles whilst on these trips, but this is actually trying to be stopped as it is interferring with the wildlife habits. You may be lucky enough to see some snakes in the trees too.
Another relaxing trip is to take the day cruise yacht trip. Crystal Yacht have been operating in Langkawi for many years now and will arrange transfer by taxi from your hotel to the jetty near Pantai Cenang and from there you will enjoy a day of cruising around the small islands off Langkawi on one of their yachts; free food and drink with a barbecue on a small island beach where you can relax and swim. The evening cruise starts around 5 pm and there you can enjoy a beautiful sunset, again with food ...
Advantages: You can fly there direct from UK. Fabulous beaches and scenery. Friendly accommodating people. Disadvantages: You can't fly home direct to UK! Extremely high humidity outside the dry season. Mosquitos!
Langkawi is an island situated off the coast of western Malaysia, not far below the border with Thailand. It is home to people from many cultural backgrounds, all of whom are friendly and charming and cannot do enough to help.
Our two week holiday in early May 2004 began with a direct flight to Langkawi with Malaysia Airlines from London Heathrow. The 21.00hrs flight was virtually full, but leg room was better than average and the flight crew were attentive and anxious to please. This direct overnight flight takes around 11.5hrs. A note of advice on the food though, it was curry curry all the way, even at breakfast time! Entertainment was excellent with individual control over TV/video/games/radio programmes.
Due to the time difference, Malaysia is 7hrs ahead of the UK (summertime) we arrived at our resort in the early afternoon ...
