Try Four Points , used to be Langkasuka Resort.

four points only got 2 good things

1) big room
2) nice pool with gym facing the sea

the beach there is quite clean, but the sea water is really really meh

Yah, Pantai Cenang isn't a place to go for a dip. That beach is too crowded with people all year long especially holidays. Option for Island hopping for better beach experience or go to Pantai Tengkorak (Can BBQ Here but bring your own food and charcoal) or there's a few secluded beaches near Black Sand Beach.

Holiday Seasons = lots of dirty water and malays washing picnic plates at the sea  =(

BTW, remember to drop by Perdana Quay/telaga harbour park for some nice holiday photos with the yatches!

four points not located at pantai cenang. it's less than 10 mins drive from pantai cenang though, and i personally find that the sea water at four points is worse than the one on cenang. beach of coz it's cleaner coz lesser ppl there

hm...stimix, is it better to update the 1st post to warn ppl to NOT BOOK/PAY for any car rental before they reach langkawi?

i follow this thread for quite sometimes d, and always noticed those that book their car (or even pay, doesn't matter just a small amount for deposit or the whole thing) end up either getting scam or cheated or bad service or given car with bad condition

while those that reach the island, see the car then only pay for it usually seems get better service.

going to Langkawi next year. Feb 2013.

looking at two hotels right now. Fave Hotel and Four Points Hotel. Read reviews on tripadvisor.

Fave hotel..looks good, but the room is small, not recommended for family. (im bringing 2.5yo girl)

Four Points Hotel...bad bad review...which im quite surprise. tot this is new hotel and somemore under Sheraton Group. should not be so bad right?  ohmy.gif im not so sure.

appreciate any feedback or experience with these two hotels, anyone?  smile.gif

1. location wise (beachfront preferably  smile.gif )
2. room size wise (bringing a kid is not fun .. as you gotta bring lots of stuff.  sweat.gif )
3. cleanliness

anyone care to comment, please? Thanks!!  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif
*
not sure about fave. but i stayed at four points before.

four points is under the starwood groupd (sheraton, westin, W, aloft, le meridien, st regis all also under starwood group). but four points and aloft are the cheapest hotel in the group

anyway, four points room is big. good for kids. it also has balcony.

it's just by the beach, and the beach is pretty queit becoz not much ppl there, also because the water there is imo worse than pantai cenang.

but then nothing is near to the hotel besides the airport. it's around 10minutes drive to pantai cenang.

the only good thing about four points is it's huge room , the hotel is relatively new (just refurbish not long ago, last time is langkasuka or something), and it's infinity pool. very nice smile.gif

clean...yes it is

will i recommend you to stay ? No. at it's price , now should be RM400++ , find any hotel nearer to pantai cenang

is there a nice and clean chalet near the beautiful beaches. i assume the nicest beach is in Pantai Cenang right? i like to stay in chalet because only my family can get to hear the sound of wave and wind.
*
nicest beach is not cenang, cenang is the most happening beach

if want beautiful beach then stay at andaman, four seasons, datai

er...coz there are 2 companies operating pulau payar trip nia

so hotel and tour agents, are well agents for that 2 company nia. so whoever u buy from also is follow that 2 companies go, and sit in the same ferry as everyone else, eating the same food lol

2 companies also go and snorkel at the same place , just that the more expansive one got their own floating platform, and offer buffet there

while the cheaper one no floating platform, and u only get 1 stupid totally not delicious lunchbox biggrin.gif

Which one would you recommend?Is there a major difference in price? I heard that payar is becoming more and more crowded and it's even worse now that it's the holiday seasons.
*
i went for the cheap one around april 2012. not really that crowded that time, but then many coral dai liao. really nothing much to see imo. baby shark got la when around noon time iirc

the expansive one got 1 platform lo, got underwater view also. the cheap one, the food really sux to the max, but after snorkeling tired liao u will still whallop it lol

QUOTE(pandaEve @ Dec 20 2012, 05:10 PM)
oooooo... well cheapest is alwayz with no nice food XD. and i agree with him that pulau payar is gettin crowded nia. do u have any suggestion besides pulau payar? langkawi gd?
*
langkawi most common sea activities are - pulau payar, island hoping (cheapest) and mangrove. mangrove i never go before so no comment, and i enjoy island hoping more than pulau payar.

but the most well spent is still the sunset dinner cruise. that one not much ppl go because quite expansive, RM250 for 3hours nia, but it's still the best thing i did in langkawi

how much is your island hopping?

and where did they bring you and for how many hour?
*
island hoping is rm25

all island hoping go to same place anyway

pulau pantai beras
pregnant island
eagle feeding

iirc is morning 9am start till 1pm or so

QUOTE(pandaEve @ Jan 8 2013, 04:40 PM)
so langkawi still the best? blink.gif
*
i love langkawi smile.gif

becoz : duty free for alcohol, food is ok. as long as got that 2 and got beach, i am a happy man. anyway, langkawi beach ain't that good only, neither do the water is crystal clear too . pulau payar marine life is much much much worse compare to the one at redang (which i went almost 8 years ago anyway)

PS: din't see ur post quoted mine. yea, pulau payar is like located in between penang island and langkawi island. there are many agent selling pulau payar package in langkawi. 1 of the main attractions when visit langkawi la
