Make sure to get a rental car at the airport, they're the cheapest you'll find on the island, and make sure you haggle the price. Go on the cable car ride the view is stunning, drop by Galeria Perdana and spend at least half an hour there, don’t miss the waterfall. Try out the local dishes, you’ll be marvelled. If you have the time, try to visit all the other beaches, then you’ll really come to appreciate the beach on your door step.

Langkawi is an excellent choice if you want to have a relaxed holiday. We spent most days on the beach, and toured around the island to various points of interest by hiring a motorbike, which was a cheap and effective way to see as much of Langkawi as we liked.
Near the Langkawi Village Resort is an excellent family-owned cafe called Moody's Place that I would highly recommend for breakfast or lunch. Lovely staff who offered a wealth of information about what to do and see while on the island.

Langkawi is a nice place. I would recommend renting a car (about $18USD/day for a "brand new" car) That way, you will get to see a lot more of the island. It is easy to get around - the local tourist map is quite accurate.

Langkawi is a nice island. I would recommend renting a car since this would give you access to the whole island. There are some nice places to visit - a few waterfalls, cultural shows, etc...

Langkawi is a lovely and peaceful island. It is easy and reasonably cheap to get around by taxi. Langkawi Crystal is worth a visit, the Craft Complex was disappointing.

The hotel is located in Pantai Cenang, south-west of the island where is the busiest beach of the island. There are many resorts and hotels and you will find it is easy to rent a car or motocycle. I would recommend the Chinese seafood restaurant near the hotel and a Thai seafood restaurant 300 hundred meters away from the hotel.

Stayed at Casa Del Mar - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
The beach at Casa del Mar is only ok. The Datai beach is still the best but not open to public. Try the Tanjung Rhu beach, which is probably the most spectacular public beach. Car rentals start from RMB40 and don't take up the offers from Kuala Kedah or Perlis side, but haggle on the island itself.

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.

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 !!!!

Langkawi was a nice place to relax. The only activity we undertook was diving (both Scuba and snorkelling) while we were there. The diving isn't as good as some of the stuff available in Thailand. Taxi's are cheap and the entire time we were there we didn't feel like we were being ripped of.
