1. i forgot which one is beach hotel but i lived at hotel langkapuri, very good service,simple and nice for people like us rm70 a night with tv n air cond, shining toilet bowl shower with water heater and cannot find dust, very near to seaside, if rm90 is seaside view.the single bed i slept with my gf no problem, got two bed so i think can sleep 4 person. the rm20 i visited is a flat, located opposite the normal hotel that's beside the seaside and got lots of trees, sand, super dirty that i not dare to move there. the other the rm20 or cheaper ( i think,forgot oledi ) is near to the beach but super pack, like the room only one single bed, one row of building can see got more than 20 room,the room look like toilet size,it's a no no for me. shower must go outside sharing with many room,like a flat, very dirty,no tv,fridge,and only got fan.

2. pantai cenang not much thing to do, kuah town better... pasar malam bigger there... food cannot expect too much, no pork policy... chinese restaurant chop head 99.

3. if u go by ferry more choice of transportation but far from pantai cenang. take air plane when walk out is car rental. its better get a van, if not mistaken is rm80 or lesser a day. depends on how u bargain. if not, get two kancil and squeeze in, i get rm40 @ day kancil no problem with air cond super cold. only can find 2 seated bicycle @rm30 i think

4. from pantai cenang to kuah town, if the driver new as me just get P license... can reach there in 15-20 minutes so i think not that far. the sign board super easy to follow when u lost just drive to t junction then see map...

car must see one la... if have time then bargain ... if like me i just straight to the point... so if u r good at bargain, then bargain lo... if off peak sure can get cheap...

i think the airport doesn't check on age , as long as ur outlook doesnt look like a kiddo at all, i think it should be no problem. when check in baggage, i include one yomeishu for my mom inside the baggage, and ask the airport people put fragile, they will refuse to put if u say got alcohol inside... we said we bring pinggan mangkuk. then hand carry another one litre. when we get back the bag, no leaking... they handle my bag quite nicely... i bring 2 litre back to kl that day

check out the "When do I need to check-in for my flight?" FAQ
I 4got hw many hrs prior to the flight did I went ther during my laz trip coz under travel agent n he arranged to meet up quite early

I went to Langkawi during mid Nov 07, stayed at Malibest. They actually served me very well.
Im not sure abt tree top but i like my family suite, clean and very nice location.
I saw the tree tops, i wish i could stay there but they were all occupied

This is one of the tree tops offered by Malibest - right on the beach, facing the sea of course.


And this is the beach (at the back of Malibest office)

Malibest got pool?

Nope... No pool...

Where is this Malibest ar ? Never hear before ..

its located in the heart of pantai cenang (near beststar resort. there're many resorts along pantai cenang.)

I'm interested about picture treetop but unfortunately no pool which will distract my interested.Currently I reserve a room at Mutiara Burau Bay for 3 nite stay.

bella vista is not nice ar? i'm planning to stay there. anyone can tell me why?

hey guys. i just got back from langkawi yesterday night. all i can say is, if u are not a smoker or drinker, better go redang or perhentian.

ACCOMODATION:
we stayed in berjaya langkawi. beach not bad. but food very limited, not nice, and expensive. according to the staff, this month mostly are tourist from russia. next month going to be arabians. during my stay there, i have not bump into any local guest. can u believe it??
they have nice pool but not deep enough. only about 1.5m. to get to the hotel lobby/beach/pool, u will need to call for the in house shuttle service cuz it will be too far for u to walk from the chalets.
berjaya is also quite far from the various tourist spot. 30 min to kuah, 30 min to tanjung rhu... the nearest is the cable car ride which is only 10 min walk from the hotel.


FLIGHT:
air asia of course! check in counter only open 2 hours before departure. the flight is around 40 minutes only. not 1 hour as mention in the schedule.
LANGKAWI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT have very limited food, shopping etc. they only have Kenny Rogers and starbucks. no foodcourt. only have one duty free shop each selling cosmetics, liquor, cigarettes, chocolates. price are much more expensive than kuah town.

PLACES I WENT:
mangrove tour which include eagle feeding. very very nice view and experience. cable car ride. and also walking around kuah town and the local pasar mlm. pasar malam is a waste of time i think because its has no difference compare to those in kl.

thank god for the nice weather when i am there!

some photos to share. (taken with 1.3megapixels camera phone)

i jus back from langkawi today.... as i promised, i m here to share wit lyn member abt nadias inn... the hotel is jus a very normal hotel... without nice environment, food, decoration, n the tv aso oni can watch tv1, tv2 n tv3 oni... but if u r those tat will spend most of the time at outside, i guess tis hotel should be no prob... tis bed is very comfortable to me as itz very soft n u can sleep soundly on it...

tis thing i dun lik abt tis hotel is the toilet... the toilet bowl is so dirty n the toilet paper is wet...

if u all wanna go langkawi, i will suggest go langkapuri or malibest... trust me... tis 2 is the best hotel in pantai cenang as u can see the beach once u go out from the door...

n for the food, dun go restaurant lucky which situated opposite nadias inn... tis food sucks... better go palm view... tis food is nice n fresh, but will be slightly expensive... recommended 2 go zeno duty free shop n wawasan baru if u wanna buy choc or liquor at kuah town... the best price i found afte survey so many shop...

here are some pic 2 share...


some pic of the room in nadias inn...

enjoy paraboat at pantai cenang

About the mangrove tour u have explain, what is the price per pax?Did they have minimum person for the trip?Beside eagle feeding, what are other activities during the tour?
