Stayed at Casa Del Mar - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
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.

Stayed at Tanjung Rhu Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
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

Stayed at Datai Langkawi, The - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
We recommend the Thai House, but you have to make reservations beforehand. As Taxis are not available near the Datai, you have to rent a car from the hotel.

The island of Langkawi unfortunately did not give us a very good impression. There was a lot of rubbish thrown out everywhere along the streets. People just didn't seem to care about their environment. This made me sad, because the island really was beautiful, but all the rubbish made it look ugly.
Anyway, if you want to buy some electronic equpiment, this is a good place to do it. Go to Khua Town and visit all of the shops in the central parts, they have a lot of nice handicraft shops too.
Some good restaurants I would like to recommend are T'Jays (Italian), they had the best pizza I have ever tasted, and The Eagle's nest with exceptionally good steaks. Both of them are at Pantai Tengha and Pantai Cenang. They also had a lot of good Malaysian and Indian food along those two beaches (roads).
We also went to the northern part of the island, to Jang Rhua beach, because we had heard the water was supposed to be much more cleaner there. It wasn't. Sometimes it was so dirty it was impossible to see your own hand under the water surface. But the beach was much cleaner than Pantai Thenga and Pantai Cenang. From here we took a boat trip to see the Mangrove area and the eagle feeding area. We also had a look inside some caves and saw bats hanging upside down, sleeping. At the end of the day we were dropped off at a private island beach for an hour or two. Sadly this small island was as full of rubbish as Langkawi was and the water was the same.
We heard that the only place where everything was much more cleaner was up in the northwest part of Langkawi, around the Andaman Datai Hotel, which is a five star hotel (very expensive), but unfortunately we never went there to see if that was true.
Finally I would NOT recommend anyone to visit the Crocodile Farm or the Snake Farm if you are not interested to see poor unhappy animals taken from their natural environment into captivity and treated in a cruel way. Carola Lidström in Kiruna, Sweden.

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.

I was working in a local school (MRSM Langkawi) and the hotel is very convenient for this. I also visited the shopping facilities and hawker stalls in Kuah.

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.
