Stayed at Casa Del Mar - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
Restaurants around the Hotel Casa Del Mar were nice. We enjoyed shopping at DFS inside the Underwater world. We explored Langkawi by car (we rented) one day. We drove to beautiful beaches where we saw no people except for us (on that day), and enjoyed dining and shopping in Downtown. And it was simply a great trip!

Car rental about USD15.00 per day. Nearby sights were good - the cable car is well worth a visit. Northern beaches of the island were extremely pretty.

As my husband and I are locals, we knew the places quite well and therefore did not use any tours. The best place that we (and the children too) like best was the cable car ride. It was a real thrill going up to the mountain and at one point, the car we were in suddenly stopped for a few minutes.

The island of Langkawi is a very beautiful island. I can imagine that one day the township will offer interesting shopping and activities for tourists - however at the moment it is pretty boring.
The cable car ride was really good. The view was great and definitely worth a visit.

Langkawi Island was a great place to visit. We used taxis to get around, and found them plentiful and easy to get, also very inexpensive.
We loved the restaurant at Casa Del Mar, also a nice little place down the road called Bon Ton and a great Thai restaurant 400 meters in a mangrove swamp called Barn Thai, we highly recommend this place not only for the walk to restaurant, but the great food and service.
We took the new cable car ride to the spectacular peak overlooking the island and loved it. Also took an evening cocktail cruise offered at the hotel and thourghly enjoyed it. If you're planning a trip to Malaysia, this island is a must.

The resort was isolated, which was what I was looking for - beautiful setting and serene. Really enjoyed the mangrove tour, eagle feeding, and sea kayaking. The restaurants were excellent, though a little pricey

I've joined a day tour to Marine Park and play snorkelling there, it was interesting that I can swim with many fishes and little sharks. Moreover, I went to Coco Beach resturant for dinner, food is ok and price is acceptable (a little bit expensive in local cost of living) but you can see local dance performance and very very beautiful sunset there.

For us the primary attractions of Langkawi are its beaches and its virgin rainforest. You can get a dramatic view of the rainforest from a new cable car that takes you to one of the island's mountain peaks. It's not for the faint-hearted, but its Swiss construction gave us some reassurance! We saw some beautiful birds of prey soaring from the peak. Our family also enjoyed the Telaga Tujuh "Seven Wells" waterfall - like a large water-slide.
I fear that Malaysia will overdevelop the island insensitively as they have done elsewhere, and its natural beauty will be compromised in the pursuit of tourism. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Langkawi airport is painless. The clean modern taxi services are price regulated and reasonable. One annoying feature is the universally poor service in most tourist shops. The staff speak little English, appear to be barely trained and lack interest in what they are doing. They often play loud, local music to entertain themselves. Clearly, the managers are to blame for this. Please follow my example and COMPLAIN TO THE MANAGERS. It helps.
We ate one evening at BARN THAI Restaurant. an isolated, mangrove surrounded ecology centre, that appears to be trying to stay viable. The authentic Thai food, surroundings and service were excellent, if not a little pricy. The free mini bus shuttle service seems to be necessary to keep the place supplied with customers. We all enjoyed the experience and I would go back.
East Marine run all-inclusive day trips on large boats to a snorkelling/diving site on offshore islands. The diving was reasonably good with lots of fish to be seen. The experienced snorkellers in our group found it very rich in fish and have the pictures to prove it! Parrotfish, Butterfly and Angelfish, Surgeonfish and all the usual suspects. An unusual feature is the hand-feeding of baby Blacktip sharks in beach shallows. The large jellyfish were easily spotted. Underwater world has a fine collection of fish species, including the 2 species of the Australian Dragonfish. Don't miss that tank! Shopping next door was only OK.
