Hi, can i ask about 'BEST STAR' resort better or 'Malibest' resort is better? both is in cenang beach right?
*
yes. both at cenang

both seems quite old liao. malibest is chalet style,few rooms share 1 building, while best star is 2 building iirc

hey guys i just came back from langkawi. went there for 3d2n. rented a myvi (auto) for rm150 for 3 days. and island hopping (4 islands) 2pm-5pm for rm20. stayed at aseania hotel which is nearby chenang beach. had dinner at The Cliff. its at the end of the beach where they have the sign of Langkawi Permata Kedah or sth. if youre driving there, its actually right behind the underworld mall thingy. the food there is awesome! atmosphere is superrrrrrrrrrr amazing! everythings perfect! however the food quite expensive la. the cheapest is pasta which is around rm28 if not mistaken. but its totally worth it. i will rate it 9 over 10. honestly.

after dinner walk around the shops around the chenang beach streets. bikinis there are pretty cheap. price range from rm30 per set. quite good quality.  biggrin.gif

the next day went to the pulau payar marine park day tour. its from 8-5pm. they will pick u up from the hotel and send u to the jetty. from there u will have to take an hour ferry ride. the tour is rm100 per person including snorkelling equipment and lunch. as well as shark feeding. basically they just give u the left over food and some chips to feed the shark wtf. after the tour they will send u back to ur hotel.

had dinner at red tomoto. heard a lot of reviews online so decided to check it out. its right opposite the underworld mall thingy where most of the duty free shop located at. (the zon, cocovalley). the food there was alright. i would rate it 7.5/10. after that, drop by babylon. apparently its a super happening place for foreigner and tourists. all the foreigner friends we met told us bout that place so we decided to check it out. well, its a reggae bar/pub by the beach. super cozy settings. they have shisha over there too. and they play bob marley kinds of song. i dont really fancy it but overall it was great. super cozy!

btw, the car, island hopping tour and marine park tour were booked in the airport. (right after collect luggage). bargain with them in malay la. biggrin.gif
*
wah, ur island hoping and pulau payar package is cheap!

Hi guys,

Any better hotels around rm200/nite besides Awana porto Malai? location, non kuah.
Car, book at airport or mudah? thanks
*
most better hotels in Langkawi are way more than RM200 if it's by the beach liao

those less than RM200 one are usually older and to me, seems not really well maintained

QUOTE(zstan @ Jul 16 2012, 11:28 AM)
ahahah SORRY. wrong hotel.

wanted to say Four Points by Sheraton
*
the only good thing about four points is the huge room and the infinity pool

other than that, really nothing much d in terms of the beach and location, not only mentioned nothing to eat and walk nearby in walking distance tongue.gif

Between Andaman (room only) and Meritus (room + brekkie), which is better? Plan to indulge a bit on my final night in langkawi, budget around 500+..
Or any other suggestions?
*
andaman quite far from most other places in langkawi o, while meritus is located at cenang.

but then imo when u stay in such a hotel just for 1 nite, u would like to spend more time in the hotel property instead of walking around? so might as well andaman

or four seasons biggrin.gif

just hide your bottles properly and try not to look guilty. they wont ask u to pour your luggage's contents out unless you are really unlucky. i managed to bring back more than 1L with Air Asia
*
base on luck lo, mine one is at jetty, after my luggage kena scan, they ask me go tepi and ask me buka luggage d. but din't really check la after i show them i stay more than 2 nights.

that time i no look guilty also coz i memang din't bring more than what's allowed ma haha

but i usually have no problems when taking flight (Not at langkawi), they usually never really check de...so most airport should be the same gua? haha. unless...well really unlucky biggrin.gif


Added on July 26, 2012, 7:26 pmdem, Tanjung Sanctuary Langkawi seems really nais, especially the area for breakfast...!!!!

I should have read this forum earlier..  vmad.gif

Just got back from our tour in langkawi last mth and it was a stressful trip from the start.

As there were 10 of us, for logistic wise, we thought we shld settle accommodation and car rental before we go.

we found this homestay website and contact this guy "Mr Rosly" and put a deposit to secure our accommodation and car rental.
All I can say is BIG mistake on our part! 

Upon arrival at the airport. Mr Rosly is no-where in sight. when we contact him, his daughter picked up the phone (Seems like a biz based from home ???), she told us her dad is not available and asked us to wait at the airport !!

After waiting for a long while, we had no choice but to engage another vendor at the langkawi airport counter (which ends up CHEAPER) and find our way to the homestay.

We also realised that he is not a staff of the homestay but rather a "middle-man" ! He recommend accommodation, tours, car rental etc. We knew we made a mistake by engaging him.  cry.gif

When we contacted him for our refund to our deposit but no reply from call, SMS and email.

So, for those who travel to langkawi, BEWARE of such SCAMMER. His hp number is 019XXXX205 and 013XXXX205

If you needed a car rental, just rent from the airport. it cheaper and you can view the car on the spot before you confirm with the vendor.
*
Talk about scammer.... But dont want reveal his full phone number......

i will go langkawi next week n will be arrive there at nite around 9pm. i prefer to book a car first b4 i go. coz i have 2 kids with me. i have contact one guy with toyota innova, he quote me RM400 for 3d2n. is the price resonable?
*
RM200 for 2 days (48hours)? seems very expansive

maybe if you are free, you can try read back the threads before, it seems quite a few people who tried to booked (and also pay) for their car before they go got scammed or get a car in dirty or bad condition
