We found the food in both the hotel and restaurants extremely palatable but were dissapointed by the small number of good quality restaurants in the resort which meant that we had to visit some places more than once. Particularly would recommend restaurant Del Mar in Pelangi and also the Barn Thai. Travelling around by taxi was extremely cheap as were most things e.g . 1.5 hr 40 mile round trip to Kuha was 20 Ringis (£4).

The best way to see Langkawi is to rent a car from the Airport as it is very convenient way and relatively less expensive as the cost of renting a car is only $12 per day , also Langkawi is very small Island with very limited places to visit but don't miss the Birds Paradise and The Cable Car.

Local restaurants were a good standard, from the local fare (where fun was had deciding what would turn up, once we had ordered) to the more tourist-oriented outlets. We particularly enjoyed the Red Tomato and Champo-Champo, both close to the Pelangi.
We hired a car from the main street, which was cheap and reliable, enabling much sight-seeing to be accomplished at our pace. Hikes up to the Seven Wells waterfall were a good workout, and well worth the effort. The cable car jaunt was good value, as was the crocodile farm. Underwater World was a fabulous experience. There are also some wonderfully-deserted beaches away from the main commercially developed areas that deserve a visit and are presumably kept secret for the islanders to use.

Hire a semi-automatic bike at very cheap rates, RM25 per day, and just ride around stopping wherever you want is the best way to go. Some good beaches around the island to cool off at along the way. Probably need more than one day's hire to make the most of it.
The cable car ride was terrifying when it stopped and started to swing near the top so take your heart pills as you need ahead for real heights - worthwhile though at RM15 per adult.
In Pantai Centang and Tengah some of the more basic restaurants along the street give you great meals for around RM5. Most people (including the locals)eat quite late so don't think it's no good because there's no-one else eating there.

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

Best to visit Langkawi by car. You get to rent a car for 60 ringgit a day(automatic). Nothing much to see around. Tanjong Rhu is the best beach. Cable car is worth taking. Gunung Raya was nothing great. There are better hills, especially for those coming from India, this place is nothing in comparison to the hill stations of India.
There is an indian restaurant called Popadums. Please do not go there. Very high price and they serve stale food. I complained to the staff but they didn't bother. Please do not go to this restaurant.
Black sand beach was a disappointment. Nothing there really. Basically Langkawi is a place to relax, not much sight seeing here.

Car hire is cheap, and a good idea to get around and see the rest of the island.

Hired a car for RM50 per day at the airport. You can drive around Langkawi Island fairly easily without getting lost. Went on the Cable Car, but unfortunately due to the smokey skies at the time, it wasn't a very good view. Went shopping in Kuah, some great bargains to be had.

the Island its self is very beautiful and the people are so friendly. We hired a car for a few days to get around, we went through a local company they were very friendly and reasonably priced they even had baby seats.
We went all round the Island we would recommend the cable cars, birds paradise and under water world we found all of these attractions intresting and resonably priced. We found the tours quite expensive so glad we hired the car and did it all in our own time. We did not do any of the boat trips or jungle walks as we had a six month old baby with us. I would definitly recommend Langkawi to all of my friends

Regular ferries from the resort take you to the main island of Langkawi, where there is lots to see and do. If you are going for a day of sightseeing, it is cheaper to negotiate with the driver and hire a taxi by the hour.
