Langkawi is definitely a place to see, we had so much fun touring there and went island hoping and snorkelling, we also visited the cable car which was a fabulous experience and some other locations in the island. I am sure there are lots to see there, but considering we spent only three days there, it was very eventful.

Langkawi is fairly undeveloped with only a dozen or so international standard hotels. The quality of the roads is good and the driving standards are high so take your driving licence, cars are easy to hire.
Snorkelling around the island is poor, a trip to the marine park is possible but it is very busy and there doesn't seem to have been at lot of recent investment.

Of the excursions, watching the Eagles feeding was an experience. Others seemed keen on the mountain bike treks.
All in all an excellent choice for a luxury break and way better value than competitors like The Datai (although it's worth the trip there for a Thai meal and drinks) or the Pankor Laut Resort.

I managed to bargain down the car rental to $100 RM for two days! You may want to drive to the "Book Village" and lazed by the cool stream flowing down from Gunung Raya; or be challenged to climb the 4000 steps to the peak. Don't forget to hop on a boat to Pulau Paya to see the rich sealife; swim with the harmless baby sharks (about a dozen at any one time)in the crystal clear water!

Good to drive around in a rented car, to soak in idyllic kampong scene before Langkawi becomes too developed as a modern show piece. Views from the new Cable Car, particularly from the hilltop are breathtaking. Of course the visit is not complete without a visit to the island for snorkelling and shark feeding.
The Chinese restaurants near the hotel serve good local cuisine and there is a cosy cafe at the bend of the road which serves American breakfast. We ate breakfasts there daily as the owner and his family are friendly folks.

Tours with the hotel are 3 or 4 times the price of other indepedent tour operators which were well organised and good value for money.

Langkawi is a beautiful island. My main reason for visiting was to complete my PADI Open Water dive qualification. I did this at the Pro Dive centre, Pantai Cenang. They had highly qualified dive instructors and were very professional. Other places visited included the rice museum, and the night market.

Make sure to get a rental car at the airport, they're the cheapest you'll find on the island, and make sure you haggle the price. Go on the cable car ride the view is stunning, drop by Galeria Perdana and spend at least half an hour there, don’t miss the waterfall. Try out the local dishes, you’ll be marvelled. If you have the time, try to visit all the other beaches, then you’ll really come to appreciate the beach on your door step.

Had great fun going to Pulau Payar, a marine park where you can go snorkelling and diving. Guide didn't tell us the diving was better near the floating platform, we heard someone mention it just as we left. The guides don't mention
that the 7 wells waterfall is 300m up a steep hill. I had to carry my 2 year old up and down on my back.
