Langkawi hotels & places to stay

It is the first time for me and my family members to visit Langkawi. I chose the place personally due to short travel duration as a consideration to my 3 yr old son. I’ve searched so many resorts and Ombak Villa Langkawi has been in my Top 3 list and finally selected it as the place looks peaceful and relaxing with a nice view of garden and the sea..and I was right. Being a nature lover, I always wanted to see greeneries around as much as possible. It has a good view of the sea, nice & windy on the seashore in the afternoon which is best to fly kite. My son enjoyed it so much. Rooms were clean (but maybe would be good to get the headboards cleaned as well as it has that sweaty smell) but overall, the rooms were 8/10...very spacious. We had an early check-in (an hour before) which we really appreciated. Buffet breakfast is just OK.. enough variety to choose from (I like the juices personally). The staffs were very kind and I’d like to give kuddos for having honest staffs as I left my iphone on one of the tables in the reception and was so glad that they kept it and I was able to collect after our day tour. Ombak Villa is close to other 2 resorts...and we had the chance to stroll in the morning around Lagoon Langkawi Resort. Overall, I am very pleased to have stayed here and would highly recommend it to friends. Staffs are really nice as well.

You sure can't beat the views here. Each morning my two small children and I wake to the clouds touching the sea. It's calm and quite, removed from the hustle and bustle of Cenang, just a five minute drive down the road. The rooms and neat and tidy and very comfortable for our two week stay. The facilities are all you could hope for as well. A great pool, especially for the kids, dining room by the sea for breakfast and even a gym, including a running machine outside that looks out to the sea (my boys have had me running on that every day). There's no actual beach by the hotel, but with Cenang beach five minutes away you don't really need one. The food is comparable to anything else we've had in Langkawi and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and helpful. You are a little removed from town, which is an advantage in one sense as it's very peaceful but you will need transport to get anywhere. The hotel runs a shuttle bus 3-4 times daily and you can get taxi's of course, but I would recommend a hire car to really get the maximum benefit of the resort and island - we picked up a little banger from the airport for 50 RM a day so not a great expense. Like almost all hotels in Langkawi it would seem the resort could do with a touch of paint here and there and seems to take them all day to remove plates etc left outside your room, but these are only small complaints. Having seen a fair bit of Langkawi and the other options available, in terms of location and value for money you will be hard pressed to do better. Book it!

I have to say, I would never have booked this hotel based on its rating. However we were forced to stay at this hotel due to cancelation of the other hotel we booked and it turned out to be one of the best value for money place we have evwe stayed!!!! The pool is awesome! My kids can play in it for the whole day. The staff are very friendly and the food is very reasonably priced and delicious! Price is really reasonable here. The only down side of the place is its room size and its interior. It is one of the older hotels in langkawi. So don't expect a modern and newly renovated room! Will definately stay here again!

Our stay at the Bayview was great. The staff were courtesy, friendly and helpful, the location for our needs was perfect and the room was just what we needed after 3 months on a Thai tropical island in small a 2 star room. The hotel is a quick 10 Ringet taxi ride from the Kauh ferry terminal, and is walking distance to lots of duty free stores and local market restaurants. It is not a beach resort, but has a good swimming pool. The buffet breakfast had lots of Asian and Indian dishes, but still catered for western tastes with cerals, fruits, omelette, toast and coffee. The view from our 9th floor room was great and we felt relaxed by the pool, supplied with towels and deck chairs. We would definitely stay there again if we needed a hotel in Langkawi. Thank you agoda and Bayview.

My family and i loved this hotel so much. I especially fell in love with the kitchen on the balcony concept and the view it provided. I highly recommend the seaview room. It was worth the extra charge. Waking up to a beautiful view of the sea and sailing boats just makes for a great morning start. The swimming pool was cozy and spacious, both the adult's infinity pool and the kids pool. The fact that the pool is open from 7am to 9pm means you can still have a dip in the pool after a long day out island hoping. We stayed in the studio apartment with one king sized bed and one queen sized sofabed as i was informed only the 'studio' units have kitchen balconies. The apartments do not have a microwave, instead they give you a kettle, some plates, bowls, mugs and cutlery and a TOASTER OVEN. do not put plastic in the oven. it is not a microwave. But it is useful to reheat those roti canai or grilled fish or nasi lemak wrapped in banana leaf (buy the nasi lemak in the afternoons in one of the humble stalls opposite Langkawi Parade, 1km from the hotel). Breakfast is good too. they replenish even at 10am. But it is a local breakfast spread, do not expect scones, bacon, cheese or pastries. Instead for the 4 days i stayed there we had a wonderful breakfast of fried flat noodles, fried rice, cereal, pancakes, chinese style porridge, salads and some local desserts such as agar-agar, currypuffs and samosas. The gym was great too, bonus point for having a seaview! Ample parking, arabic restaurant within the hotel opened until midnight, pool table, pingpong table, jacuzi pool and a nice lounging area. The sofabed was not so comfortable though. The mattress curved up and down like the waves instead of being flat. but since our kids were only 3 feet tall, they had no complaints. overall a good hotel, with beautiful seaview, no beach, not even close to the beach, great swimming pool, good amenities and good local breakfast spread. There is the Langkawi Parade mall about 1km in front o

Camar was not the first resort which popped up on my choice of hotels in Langkawi but I have no regrets. From the time we stepped into the hotel the staff were extremely helpful and friendly not to mention going out of their way to find mint for our mojitos! If you're looking for a laid back, relaxing stay in Langkawi this hotel is for you. The pool was pristine and breakfast options were more than adequate. The resort is a short Grab ride from Pantai Cenang and there is nothing you cannot get from close by. We even booked tours and exchanged currency right across from the hotel with extremely competitive rates. I hope the resort keeps up their high level of cleanliness and professionalism for years to come.

i can not believe this location is one of the best in langkawi. i was taking photos of my girlfriend and it was stunningly beautiful. i am telling you from my own experience. when the sunset, the picture is champ and unforgettable. the restaurant inside casa del mar is very special and very authentic. i can enjoy eating these food with my girlfriend. it tastes much like europe i had been to. breakfast is a must have. i love the breakfast over there. i strongly advise you take this casa del mar because i had tried other three hotels in langkawi and casa del mar is one of the best. you can enjoy many activities there and you can relax at the beach. plus, you can rent out movies from there and watch inside the room. the bedroom i had stayed exceeded our expectations. there is a seat outside my room and we can sit and relax on the top outside of room. the service is the best. last time, we had misfortune event due to visa problem. the staff was very due diligent and we solved all the problem and had all things worked out very well. i am very grateful for casa del mar for giving us the wonderful experience. next time i visit langkawi, i would definitely go to casa del mar.

First of all, to avoid confusion, this room is situated in Langkawi Lagoon Resort BUT it is managed by Ombak Villa. Very strange thing about Langkawi Lagoon Resort is that the rooms are managed by different contractors..Other rooms here on Agoda might be at the same location, but managed differently. So although the location of this particular room type is Langkawi Lagoon Resort, reception and breakfast, as well as pool use are at Ombak Villa. Not to worry though as they have buggy services to and fro. Another thing is that the room is not seaview although it is 'beachfront'. That just means it is on the beach rather than the seavillage on the water. It is in the main building of the resort. The rooms do not all have balconies and definitely do not have bathtubs, unlike stated here. That said, the resort is quite nice. It is away from the hustle and bustle of Cenang (the main stretch), but still offers an idyllic beachfront experience. Staff are nice too. Definitely worth it.

Beautiful villas with stunning view. You are surrounded by nature. Peaceful and tranquility. The manager and staff were friendly and attentive to your every need.I celebrated my wife birthday,they went the extra mile by giving a cake to her,eventho we didnt request it.Very thoughtful of them. Place is clean and every staff will greet/smile at you whenever you bump into them.They make you feel welcome all the time.The pool is superb. Best vacation. We are goin there again on out nx vacation.

After vry big disappointed with one of the five star hotel in langkawi. I has done last minute booking to sheraton hotel. We took garden view room. The garden was not green as the maintainance was a bit poor. But the room was grade and the service such as shuttle , staffs was good. Vry friendly. The swimming pool was not well maintained. If the hotel management look in to it means sure this hotel wil be my love one. I paid abt rm370 and I feel it worth for money. ....the food , bar and reception staff was vry good and friendly. I prefer this hotel for next stay

Small locally operated family hotel in Langkawi. Owners are well known in the community. If you want to be pampered and enjoy a unique experience in Langkawi I highly recommend you stay here. They have an amazing breakfast menu, freshly made meals. Not like other hotels which only offer a standard buffet. The staff are impeccable and cater to ensure your experience in Langkawi is a memorable one. The staff here will help you navigate the island and can recommend activities, restaurants and stores during your stay in Langkawi. Hotel is surrounded by wildlife and has amazing views of the ocean. Each set of rooms here are nestled on the hillside within the forest. If you have issues with mobility, you may want to consider a more typical boring hotel. If you enjoy the outdoors and walking, hiking then you will enjoy Ambong Ambong. The staff will transport you to your villa if you're too tired to hike.

We came to stay over a long weekend - me to do a marathon and my wife to relax. Imagine booking a hotel no and island and having no beach? Well, our initial response was wary, but every step in was a pleasant eye opener. If you are expecting perfection 5 star hotel, then try the International chains. If you want to experience village living in its most comfortable and friendly form, the 80 year-old wooden stilted houses will exceed your best expectations. You will read about cats, they aren't that bad for non-cat lovers. More importantly, you will experience the friendliest staff on Langkawi Island - although football fans be forewarned that the manager is an avid Liverpool fan. He is a credit to the hotel nevertheless!

We really loved our stay there. Even though the villa is just newly built, and the surrounding premises are in the midst of construction, the villa facilities were lavish. We received a complimentary transfer from airport and the check-in process was very personalized, there was always a staff to guide us through the villa. We were given a mobile where we can contact the staff for anything. The complimentary private mangrove tour was also a nice touch. As a couple on honeymoon, we especially loved the privacy of the villa, overlooking a scenic field, and the facilities especially the lavish bedroom and toilet was perfect for our honeymoon. I would give the private villa a 9/10, and missing out on a perfect score only because of the a few blackouts due to upgrading works to the premises as we were told the completed villas were opened early instead of waiting for all the villas to be completed. However, the blackouts were swiftly remedied by staff immediately after we called, and despite some blackouts, we left Langkawi wishing we could go back to the La Villa Langkawi again someday:)

We were so happy when our room was upgraded to Sea Village Executive Studio Suite when we actually booked for Sea Village Deluxe Studio Suite. We got the best sea view. The studio suite was clean and well equipped with appliances.Bathroom was spacious, got bathtub. Our balcony was awesome. There was buggy service that took us from car park to our suite. We also used the buggy service when we checked out. However, due to the location, sometimes no water at the beach when low tide. Quiet place, but we liked it cause we traveled with little kid. It is 15 mins drive to Cenang Beach (most of the atttractions) but we don't mind (we kinda enjoy leisure driving?). I would say this resort is not for beach activities, but more for relaxing and mind theraphy kind of place. I would definitely visit this resort again.

Value for money. When we arrived we like the lobby so much that we asked if it's possible to have an upgrade. Unfortunately it was full. The room we booked was slightly smaller than what we expected, but it have everything that we needed. And it's very cosy. We went to spa, it's so good. We spent at the pool in the evening, the music and drinks were good. We don't even need to go to the beach. Maybe the downside is the food, breakfast some of it were okay, some are not. And we even take a sunset cruise with one that they suggested, and that's the star of our experience in langkawi. Overall, we really love it and hope to go there again.

the information of langkawi hotels is very limited. base on tripadvisor, some other hotels can be very old and disgusting. i chose villa molek because there werent many other choices around. fortunately, villa molek didnt disappointed me. this place is awesome. the room is spacious,clean and quiet.the bed is wide and long, love the pillow and bed. my boyfriend and i had a great sleep every night. the staff are pretty nice,too. they might not have breakfast buffet but their breakfast is great and freshly made. they also provide crabtree & evelyn products, what for can u ask fore. there are also welcome snacks, drinks and fruits. also, they are giving 4 bottles of water everyday location is at pretty good, it is surrounding by many nice restaurant and very close to the beach.

Booked it for one night. Its a resort that has been split and managed by multiple companies so a bit of a challenge to find the correct reception (ours was in a converted room on the 1st Floor). The room is grand, and very clean. Great value for money, its has nice and well maintained grounds and pool so on those two fronts i give it 5 stars. Location is terrible. Far from anything and no in house amenities.

I honestly don’t have one bad thing to say about this place! We only stayed one night but considered staying another because Mohammad made our stay so accommodating! We arrived at 8 am and check in was not until 2pm. However, Mohammad had the room ready for us by 11am for an early check in... and while we waited, Mohammad drove us into town so that we could grab breakfast! He also had great recommendations for local restaurants and bars to visit! If you are looking for a place to stay, look no further! You found an amazing spot!

Fast check-in and out and good customer service. Staff are friendly. Cheapest 4-star hotel in Langkawi and really value for money 10/10! Location is awesome, hotel is beside the airport. 5 mins. walk could reach airport. Very huge hotel lobby and restaurant. Having additional large chandelier light would be very nice though. Large room and large bathroom and clean. Room is well equipped..got tv, aircond, fridge, coffee+tea & kettle, bathtub, got hot shower, iron & board inside wardrobe so no need to request. Room got 2 Queen Beds and 1 sofa-bed which is very nice for family stay indeed. Breakfast buffet spread is good. Mix of local and western food. However,some of the corridor carpets are in bad condition already and some got bad smell. The management should change them immediately in order to maintain the 4-star ratings. And current gym location is not suitable. Overall the hotel is good and value for money. I would recommend this hotel especially to people with limited budget.
