Me and my husband just back from Langkawi last week. We booked the resort for 5 days. Unfortunately my partner just noticed that this resort has bad records where 2 cases were happened on 2007 for khalwat. meaning to say this resort is not safe and no privacy, yet you can't trust the staff, also there is police book records on the reception counter (what would you think?)
the resort is actually at Kuah Town, very far from the beach. you will never find any nice restaurant there, or even place for shopping (unless if you go to the Kuah jetty which is 3km distance).
the bedrooms is quite clean, however the toilet was old and dirty. after first night, next day in the morning, i noticed my skin was irritated and redness. i was bitten by bed bugs and we decided to check out. before that, we're having breakfast in the resort. guess what?? the restaurant approached us and said they only serve fried rice, fried noodles and meehoon, yet we had to order breakfast and waiting for them cooked for us. the breakfast isn't delicious!!!!!
in the afternoon, we finally check-in to One Helang Hotel which is 4 star hotels, nice breakfast, friendly staff and very clean rooms. you may feel like your own home. even though the hotels is next to the Langkawi airport, you don't heard the engines of the aeroplanes and its surrounding is so calm. we are so happy that we saved our holidays by moving on to much better and higher rated hotels.
if you are planning to visit Langkawi, i recommend you to book hotels or resort in Pantai Cenang, it is near to the beach and there are many nice restaurant and shops lot. it is most happening places in Langkawi. some of the resort include Casa Del Mar. please avoid motels or budget hotels because of invasion by Langkawi District Religious Office (PADAL).
to be safe, it is highly recommended for you to book in to high rated hotels, instead of budget hotels for your comfort and satisfaction.
