Beach resort in Langkawi
by adoc about Langkasuka beach resort
What impress me most is the size of the beds! They are huge! The room is fine.
They got a nice beach where one can play soccer and vollyball in the sand.
There is a swimming pool where local people swim with their clothes on.
The breakfast is just so so for a 4-star hotel.
It's located 30 minutes away from city center. It's quiet at night. If you want a fancy bar you have to call a taxi and go to the downtown.
Home Stay Environment

Hi there,
I think i can help a little here,it's depands on where do you want to stay. Either near to the beach or to the town area. Langkawi Seaview Hotel is near to town and as for Langkasuka Beach Resort is near to the airport and beach area. Pricing wise, Langkasuka (around RM200++ per night) will be a little more expensive than Seaview (around RM150-RM160 per night). But there are many food variety for you to choose from along the beach area. You should try the sea food here. There is one chinese restaurant in Kuah town by the name of " Wonderland" they serve awsome food. You should try out.
If you would like an exclusive home stay environment, I would like to recommend you a place at Cenang Beach area and it's call " Pondok Keladi" it's low density and nice environment. Pricing cost around RM150 per night.

I took a van from the Jetty to Pantai Tengah and it wasabout RM16 in April 2004 per one van. But if you manage to share the van you can split the fares. Because I shared with another fellow whos going to town (RM4) I only paid another RM12 for the rest of the trip.
Langkasuka Resort is not very far from Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah. At most they will charge you RM18 or RM20 per one van. Like I said, try wait a while and share the van or car with other tourists. The fare of van and car is just the same.

Hello there,
You can always get a taxi or a van to go to the resort. It's not far from the airport. Resorts usually can arrange transport for you but you have to call them a few days prior. This will cost you about RM 20 ~ 40 per way.
By the way, I read some reviews regarding this hotel and they were not that good. Even though it's near the beach, you can't swim in it. And they say the service is quite bad.
Have you check some other hotels beside Langkasuka?
Anyway I will be going to Langkawi too (Early July). Have fun there!!!

Hi,
I and my family are also planning to visit Langkawi in second week of July and will be staying in Langkasuka Beach resort for 4 days. I opted for Langkasuka Beach resort on the recommendation of one of my friend who was there three weeks earlier. Langkasuka Beach resort is quite good in its class, only thing you may not like is that they dont offer independant chalets. It is a 3 storey building, so it might seem you are staying in a city, not in a beach resort. But service and ambiance in quite good. They also have a private beach, as they claim. Even the restaurants are praiseworthy. I will advice against requesting Langkasuka Beach resort for arranging the transportation form Kuah Jetty to the Hotel. They will charge you much more. Just get down at the jetty and hire a cab. If you take a cab from Kuah Jetty to Langkasuka Beach resort , it may cost you around RM 16-20. Langkawi doesnt have a good Public Transport system. But, I'll say, there is no need for it. Roads are excellant, there is virtually no traffic on the road and all the sightseeing spots are easily accessible by road. If you drive, you may well hire a car for around RM 50 per day (minimum). Do pass on some information if you have something to share.
Have a nice trip and enjoy yourself.
