The Pulau Payar snorkelling trip was rather disappointing. There were little corals and substantially less than what was advertised. Visitors were confined to a small stretch along the beach. On the Saturday, when tourist arrival was peak, it was so crowded at the eating area and at the beach itself!!!

Stayed at Tanjung Rhu Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
We cycled with a guide through beautiful countryside to a waterfall - taking in rice fields, water buffalo and monkeys along the way. A wonderful if sweaty experience for the fairly fit involving about 9k of cycling and 10-15 mins of climbing up slippery rocks and scrambling over tree roots to get to the waterfall where we stripped down to our bathing suits & swam in the icy rock pool - an unforgettable day!
There's a night market, duty-free shopping centre & various places selling arts & crafts - but we found the activities offered at Tanjung Rhu Resort - Mangrove tours, sailing, cycling, windsurfing, archery and many others - enough to keep us happily occupied for 5 days.

As two great lovers of food, the hotel did not disappoint. We ate three out of the four nights at ‘The Rhu’ fusion restaurant, which did a wide array of delicious and beautifully presented dishes.
The Sanpan boat ride up the nearby mangrove swamp to feed the Eagles is well worth a morning or afternoon.

Langkawi was beautiful but, unfortunately, a day or two after we arrived, the rainy season began and it poured down every day. Apparently, the best time to go is between December and April. There is a holistic spa in a hotel beside the snake sanctuary which offers reasonable value afternoon packages so we indulged in an afternoon's pampering on one of the rainy days, which was lovely.
The Datai Beach is noted on the tourist maps as a sight to see but it is not open to the public and belongs to the two posh hotels in the area. However, they very kindly took us down for a look and it was something else.

The location (beach) of the hotel is superb. Langkawi is a beautiful island with some possibilities for trips (rice fields, villages, rainforest, waterfalls, island hopping). One can easily rent a car, but it is not easy to arrange a motorbike in the neighbourhood of the hotel. There are sufficient sporting activities and tours via the hotel. For restaurants, you fully depend on the hotel! The quality of the food was generally ok and I especially liked the atmosphere of the beach fronted restaurant (mediterranean style). Note that in September and October, the weather is more rainy on Langkawi, though there is no clear raining season.

There was not many attractions on the island and the only attractive thing was on the snorkelling trip on Pulau Payar island.

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 is a beautiful place to be. Hire a bike. It is the cheapest & best way to get around with a map in hand.Good food at all the restaurants on the Tenga-Chenang beach strech. Hot Wok, Orkid Ria, Changloon,Imperial Thai, Fat Mums, all have superb food (especially sea food) at amazingly low prices. The half day island hopping tour is wonderful. Wish they would make it Full day !Pulau Payar Marine park is a must see for the diving & snorkelling (my first time...it was magical) Don't be put off by the advertised prices. You can get a tour for Rm 60 with pick-up & drop-off. Only the cold packed lunch sucks...so take you own !The 7 wells water falls are overrated. Ditto Duty free shopping. But Langkawi is Amazingly beautiful. A must Go !!!!
