i'm going there with my bf this friday for 3D2N..we take MAS..if we want to rent car, can get it from the airport already, issit? wat abt motorbike?
or is there any website to book ahh?

They will be so many car rental agent at airport and I guess you do not need to booking through online. You can take a look 1st at the car, then proceed to the next stage. Its better because we can negotiate the car rental price with the agent. About motorbike, it would be pricey if you take scooter because most of european tourist prefer scooter more than a car. If I remember correctly, 24 hours scooter rental is about Rm40-50.It about the same price for Iswara !

Guys, i might be planning a return trip to langkawi some time in May with gf... It's gonna be another 4D3N trip just like my previous visit there in 2006 (long time back!)... Just to ask, has any1 stayed at the Westin Langkawi Resort? I loved the place when we stepped in during one evening drive after shopping in Kuah (that time, it was still the Sheraton Perdana) and am seriously considering making it our accommodation place for the coming trip... What do u think?

Also, how much are the rates u guys paid for rental of an automatic-transmission car? I drove a manual car the last time around and unfortunately, my gf didn't get the experience of driving in Langkawi because of this...

Oh ya, before i forget, one major screw-up of my previous trip was missing out on a trip to the reknowned Payar Island... So just to ask, tix to Coral Payar are available at the booths near Jetty Point ya? And what are the prices of the tickets, btw?

Oh ok, u took the Langkasauka Resort... It's the one that is closest to the airport, just a 5-10 mins drive and it was where i stayed during my trip to Langkawi in 2006... Quite a comfortable hotel with nice pool and reasonable facilities, but the beach has not much of waves as it's sheltered by the Port Langkasuka breakwater...

Issit still free tax ??

some say after election now langkawi no more free tax

I have my review on westin and my 8 days 7 nite to Langkawi Here

Interesting review there, thanks for the link bro!

Btw, how about Sheraton Langkawi? That Starwood hotel looks more traditional and is very near the airport, although quite a distance from Kuah... Furthermore, the rooms are more traditional ya, rather than the contemporary theme of the Westin...

Yeah...I go there too to survey about the hotel but unfortunately there are no superior/deluxe room available at that time, so I decided to go to Westin. 1 more thing I discover that, if money is not a problem to you, try The Datai or Four Seasons You will never find in Malaysia the resort are so beautiful and serviced are unbelievable.

Sheraton look old from outside but I guess inside room got something special for Starwood Preferred Guest. I dont have opportunities to go and see inside the room.

yes, its tax free for life!!!

at the airport you can discuss the car rental fees.. look for the last counter at the left hand side and ask (not car rental counter)... its more cheaper than the "car rental counter" on the right..

How's the weather in Langkawi now? I hope it will not pour cats and dogs in May.. .

I ald booking AA package to langkawi n stay in Bayview hotel on September. Anybody stay in tis hotel b4?any comment about tis hotel?
Anyone have conatct of car rental? and wat is the rate now?
Thanks for your help.

r u going joe?

Hmmm....Bayview i think it is the one in Kuah.
Being in town itself without beachfront, if i am not mistaken.
Should be clean and okay but boring.
Car rental people will bug you at the airport.
Haggle with them for the best price.

Stayed there 10 years ago... . They refurbished the hotel since then. Nice hotel but no beach... ask for sea view room otherwise you get the mountain view... but all views can see rooftops...

car rental no nid to worry la.. go there and haggle till cows come home at the airport. If you are going on weekdays, you probably will get better rates. Last I got Sentra 4d3n for 250/=.

yup... again.. sigh.. this time tour guide for a couple of family friends.... Noooooo! dont tell me you are going too...

10 years is a pretty long time.
10 years pass and Hilton KL moved to Sentral and the old one has become Crowne Plaza
The Wira i rented was pretty cheap, i think 25-35 per day.
I not going unless u invite me

can i ask the cheapest inn or motel in langkawi for 4 person for 1 night is how much?? i mean the cheapest de.....our budget...very very low...plan to stay for 1 night.....we depart from kuala perlis..

har...anyone got any idea??? planing to go tomoro....very very very rush....bcoz depart from my hometown to jetty kuala perlis only 30 minit...^^....really nid some info for staying....

Dun worry=lah..there will be lotsa agents at the jetty approaching you for hotels & even cheap B&B...for cheap B&B (Which I hv not try), u probably can get it for RM10-RM20/nite for hostel style staying.....just check wth those agents surrounding the jetty at Kuala Perlis or even at Kuah...Lotsa of them....u probably trying to run away from them...

hello ppl...just curious whether langkawi is still as popular as before? just wanna make sure so when i go there it's not deserted

anyone has gone there recently? please share some info
