Langkawi has kept a native aspect and is far from the crowded other islands. It is quite and people are very kind. Unfortunately, all is ready to make the tourism an industry like everywere in the world...

Langkawi is a beautiful island. We took two tours: visiting Pulau Payar island and "Mangrove tour". All other places were visited by taxis which are quite cheap there. I especially recommend to visit the Oriental village (it is a shopping center) not for shopping (it is expensive there), but for a cable car ride. You will get the spectacular panoramic view point from the top of mountain.

Langkawi is to me a nice beach holiday retreat location. Beside the beach, the beautiful rainforest however nothing much to see. No good shopping centres and beside the hotel restaurants also not much nice places to eat, unless you enjoy the famous street found (Hawker Food) which of course you find anywhere on the island.

Beautiful island! Definitely go to Pulau Payar as a day trip. Utilise the expensive tours as there is a big difference in terms of quality. I went with Langkawi Coral which is the premier provider there. They were excellent! Food is plentiful if a little expensive, cars are widely available for rent. I got a Proton Iswara at 50 ringgit/day. I think I could've gotten it at a lower price. :)

Langkawi is a beautiful island, very friendly people lovely scenery and extremely quiet and calm. We loved the place especially as the sun shone down on us every day we were there. We have made it part of our must go again places. The cultural village was absolutely beautiful to be in.

We found some excellent restaurants nearby - Bon Ton, T.Jay's & The Lighthouse - breakfast - Breakfast Cafe & Red Tomato. We didn't eat in the hotel restaurants as we were keen to explore elsewhere but our son enjoyed the food from the room service menu some evenings. We hired a car from the restaurant across the road from the hotel - 6 days RM600 - 1.6ltr - excellent value - enabled us to have a good look around the island. Joined the island tour that took us to the Marine Park well organised, supplied lunch, only complaint was there were too many people trying to enjoy the same spot. For those who want to avoid the crowds swim to the left of the pier - you'll be herded to the right because that's where they give you lunch. Good selection of tropical fish but not much colour in coral. Our 13 year old son enjoyed the go kart track near the airport, shopping in Kuah, jet skiing, snorkelling at the marine park, sliding down the water falls at Telaga Tujuh, cable car ride nearby, bird park, underwater world & snake park.

We hired a car one day and circumnavigated the island, stopping at Tanjung Rhu beach for lunch and swimming. We also walked up to the seven wells water fall and rode on the cable car. The cable car held beautiful sights and was clean and new. We went to a Malaysian local art and craft store and also to Cenang beach for lunch. Great Island, great swimming and lovely scenery.

It is just so-so, comparing with other destinations in SE Asia. Too crowded, and the streets are smelly. Restaurants are also expensive than other locations.

I recommend "Boat" seafood Chinese restaurant in front of this hotel. Reasonable and good taste. But if you go to 1-2 pm, you will see late delivery.

One problem is the remoteness of this resort. It is a bit of a hassle to go on the water taxi at your own convenience. Would have liked to gone to other restaurants.
