Stayed at Langkawi Village Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.

The northern beach, Tanjung Rhu, was the nicest beach. There are limestone islets which is a backdrop to a remote and quiet beach which makes for a stunning view and wonderful experience.
The cable car was a great experience, especially on a clear day. You can see to Thailand (technically, just the next island further north) as well as surrounding islands. It was quite impressive and a wonderful view. Oceanworld was a hit with my daughters. It was quite well done and they were excited to see Nemo and Dory and few of his friends from the movie.

Good restaurants to go to are: Sunflower and Bon Ton.
Under no circumstances should you use Coral Reef Dive Tours - they couldn't organise themselves out of a paper bag.

The activities were outstanding. There was so much to do to keep one busy in the resort from mountain biking, trekking, sailing, mangrove trip to renting a car to drive around the island. Absolutely wonderful experience.

If you love good food, the all-inclusive option allows you to feast on top quality food at your leisure without having to worry about how your stomach will feel when you settle your bill at the end of your stay. We made good use of the offerings at all three restaurants, poolside dining facilities, reading room, and room service.
We took full advantage of the watersports equipment including kayaks, hydro bikes, and catamarans. The resort also arranges fascinating tours of the island. On one trip, we took a boat tour through the mangrove, fed eagles, and explored caverns. The nature walk through a vast section of the island owned by the resort (hence the 1100 acres claimed by the resort)was fun and educational. Biking to the waterfall was a great experience, though it left both of us exhausted at the end.
The Jiva Rhu spa is extraordinary. My wife and I enjoyed two spa sessions (one 1-hour massage and one 4-hour treatment) together and both were outstanding. Prices are actually quite reasonable given the quality of the treatment and the spa environment. It was a wonderful experience, and we hope to go back someday in the not too distant future.

Stayed at Casa Del Mar - Langkawi, Malaysia.

My trip to Langkawi was a memorable one as it was a honeymoon trip for my husband and I. We stayed at the Casa del Mar and we loved it there. Although it was the rainy season, we tried to squeeze in several activities to do. The Cable Car ride provided a great view to Langkawi. The island hopping package (Tasik Dayang Bunting, Pulau Beras Basah and another island was nothing to shout about though). The beaches were not that clean. It was both sad and maddening to see so many rubbish in the sea.
I would recommend Restaurant Hj Ramly at Pantai Cenang for its Tom Yam - this is where the locals go for cheap and tasty seafood. Another unforgettable place is Bon Ton. Great ambience, great people and great food. Being in Pantai Cenang helped as it was close to everything. We rented a car only on the second last day so that we could go places.

I took the Snorkeling tour to Coral Island, but it is better to hire a private boat to go around Langkawi. The water of Coral Island is not as clean as it is advertised and too many people are there. Probably good for beginners.

Recomend hiring a motorbike. Water sports at Cenang were great and cheap.
Visit the 7 pools and go for a swim - wonderful fresh water.

The new cable car ride is absolutely thrilling (and cool due to the breeze!), a wonderful experience. The cost of the ride at RM 15 was very reasonable.
Also the island-hopping tour by boat is a must. Having 99 or 100 islands (depending on the tide) surrounding the main island of Langkawi, the limestone cliffs and a million plus years old rainforest offer stunning vistas and sights. The tour agency I used, Keng Chuan Travel & Tour offered a fast boat with 2 crew, gave great service and most of all a very resonable rate (at the time of the search that is, so one could check around more if they wish).

Cable car ride was an ultimate experience. I find it better than Genting. One must not miss this.

Stayed at Pelangi Beach & Spa Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.

We stayed at the hotel pool for most of our visit as it was too nice to leave.
We did go on a sunset cruise which was fabulous and we did go shopping in the main shopping area but we weren't really impressed with the shops.
