Go and find a restaurant namely Rootian at Kuah town. It can be easily located near the bridge to kuah town. Very nice food with budgetary price.

oh i heard Kuah town is a bit far from pantai cenang (the place where we stay)
need about 30min drive to there, yah?

wonder is there a romantic candle light dinner along the beach side?
budget is not a problem.

I see.

KTCY, but you "play tricks" right?
you hide the bottles inside the luggage, under dirty clothes/shoes tongue.gif

In the mood to write a brief review of my Langkawi trip, 31/6 to 2/7 biggrin.gif

Let me summarize the expenses :

AirAsia Return Tickets for two, RM 500.00
Accomodation @ Sunset Beach Resort for 2 nights, RM 380.00
Meal / Surveniors / Entertainment, roughly about RM 500.00

Highly recommending this resort!

wub.gif Love the exotic resort feel, the private beach, the sandy sand, the wave & breeze, and never forget to mention, the friendly resort attendances biggrin.gif

This is the private beach!

Renting a car, easier to travel around laugh.gif

Therefore, we settle down with a Proton Waja 1.6 (A) for RM 140 @ 3 Days
which we think should be a good bargain thumbup.gif
We filled around RM30.00 petrol, and it was suffiecient to round the whole Langkawi island! biggrin.gif

Some Duty Free Items:

We bought a bottle of 750ml SWING for RM 95.00
(Langkawi airport is selling the same thing for RM 120.00 sweat.gif )
and a BLACK LABEL at 1L for RM 75.00 thumbup.gif

And of course, some chocalates & Ciggy.

Places that we didn't go:

- Island hoping (heard that it is being too commerialized, and nothing much to see except mountains & sea)

- Underwater World (after reading the reviews in LYN, we decided to skip this either, we have been to Singapore Underwater World, afterall) biggrin.gif


Conclusion :

It is a super relaxing trip @ Langkawi.
Great experience for 1st timer like me biggrin.gif

i was staying there during my last trip in june! awesome and friendly services i would say.

check this site : http://www.sunsetbeachresort.com.my/

you may call the contact numbers, telling them when are you going to stay in
they will give you a banking details (public bank iiam)
once you bank in, fax the slip as a proof back to them

tips : you may bank in half of the lodging fees, the rest, when you reach there, baru you pay the remaining

happy holidaying & enjoy the private beach thumbup.gif
