Stayed at Tanjung Rhu Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.

Langkawi is an excellent 'all round' destination - it has some beautiful beaches and resort hotels and you could easily spend a week just sat on the beach - but if you are looking for a slightly more active holiday there is plenty to do and explore. We hired a car for a few days - would definitely recommend this as the roads are good and quiet and it allows you to see more of the island's beautiful scenery. We also did a day trip to the mangroves which again was excellent - we started off in Kuah town and were taken by speed boat around the island and then sailed down through the mangrove swamps. Along the way, we saw dolphins, sea eagles, monitor lizards and monkeys - lunch at the Barn Thai restaurant was included (this is worth visiting for its location alone - it is situated in the middle of the mangrove swamp and accessed via a wooden walkway!).

Recommended to take the Cable Car ride in Langkawi. Beautiful Scenery for those avid pohotographers.

Stayed at Beach Garden Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.

My trip has been a quiet one with the love of my life. We stayed in the resort, the resort bistro, and on the beach most of the time thinking it'd be a hassle to move out to town since we didn't have a car. But to our surprise, there were actually rows of souvenirs and sundries shops, restaurants, and bistros right infront of the resort! We managed to get a few souvenir and clothing items, had chinese for dinner in the restaurant opposite of the resort, and a drink of beers in a bistro along the street on the second day itself.
You can also find an internet cafe right down the street to your right coming out from the resort. Moving around the island is not a problem either if you can drive or ride a bike as the car/bike rental shop is right next to the resort. Now, the only regret we had was that the trip was just too darn short!

Langkawi and Pentai Cenang are very relaxing and quite laid back. There are sites to see but if you just want to laze and chill out that's fine too. A trip on the cable car is hair-raising but worth the visit. A visit to the seven wells requires a bit of walking and quite strenuous in the heat. We visited many restuarants, The Lighthouse and Bon-Ton slightly more expensive but both in beautiful settings especially the Bon-Ton! Narelle at the Bon-Ton invited us as day visitors to spend some time at the resort and use its facilities. Wonderful frozen cocktails and the best dessert (chocolate tort with tiramsu ) I have ever tasted!!!
Please visit and say hello from Bill and Ed (the 2 Irish guys) to Uma and Theo at "Chompa Chompa" pub and restaurant. She is a wonderful, delightfully eccentric Tamil woman who will immediately make you feel welcome. She is also a great cook! Theo, also very welcoming serves a mean drink as many of our late nights can testify! Food and drink very reasonable. Also visit Debbie's Irish Pub next to Chompa Chompa. A bit of a misnomer as there is nothing to suggest an Irish pub and only qualifies as Debbie's husband is Irish. She too will make you feel most welcome.

If you stay in Tanjung Sanctuary you need a car or a motorcycle. Taxis are expensive!

The location is perfection if you are looking to relax or whether you are wanting to go out and do things. There are tonnes of little adventures to be had. The go-kart racing is fantastic. Waterworld interesting and they are still renovating and improving it - go so you are at the shark tank around 3pm as that's when you see a diver hop in and feed them hand to mouth. There is a great pakistani/indian restaurant up the road just beside the sun plaza shopping complex and the red tomato is a welcome taste of home. The owner is really nice and knows a lot about the area so you can ask her a lot of questions if need be.
I took the Coral Island tour and went snorkeling. I CAN'T express how amazing and fun this was. The people were extremely nice and helpful and your lunch is included in the price. GREAT thing to do even if you are just wanting to laze around on the beach.

Stayed at Pelangi Beach & Spa Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
Pelangi Beach hotel is located on Pantai Cenang. This beach isn't the prettiest on the island. There was a fair bit of rubbish washed up on the sand and in parts there was a strange rotting smell. Pelangi Beach Hotel is however, up the far end of the beach and therefore probably one of the better hotels to stay at on this stretch. There are a few shops and other restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. A really great spot to eat is the Red Tomato Beach Cafe. Excellent food and service. Also very clean, and great sunset views during dinner.

Stayed at Bon Ton Restaurant & Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
We took a mangrove tour which was a great day out on the water with many varied activities learning about the mangroves, and ecology; bat hunting (with camera not guns!), getting fingers nibbled by fish and feeding eagles. The guide was extremely knowledgeable - Biden -contacts details with Bon Ton. Well worth the day out.

Recommend doing the snorkelling trip to Palau Payer - was the most awesome trip. But be warned to apply a good waterproof sunblock as everyone's backs got quite burnt from spending all day floating in the water.

Stayed at Bon Ton Restaurant & Resort - Langkawi, Malaysia.
|
Langkawi is a lovely island, fairly quiet on the nightlife side but if you like your food it is amazing! The seafood is fantastic, especially at the Bon Ton and for traditional and very cheap Malay, the hawker cafe 'BZ Sempoi' is definately worth a visit (centre of the island). The cable car is a good morning out with great views and a sunset cruise is a worthwhile experience. The best bit is just jumping into a car and exploring - we discovered the new Four Seasons resort - an amazing place! Generally, a great place to relax and unwind.
