nice review, wah5, what about Aseania Resort Langkawi? i saw the rate is bout same as the chalet u recomended. I prefer the hotel room environment. any recomendation with budget less then 150?

First timer going to Langkawi?

Well, u better look for local agent who providing some langkawi tourney package for first timer purpose otherwise u will be bored for playing nothing in there, unless u are familiar with Langkawi. Don't spoil the good feeling while travelling cos I worked as a tour guide in langkawi b4.

If u are the leader of ur frens who go along together and u don't wan any agent provide any package tourney in Langkawi, so u need to do a lot of homework for the research on internet.

Travelling always think of how much u budget since u did not mention, I would briefly let u know what is happeining in langkawi, but I don't recommend u staying hotel but chalet in langkawi for not getting any package tourney, cos staying at hotel will cost more than u go for chalet. U may try this resort called "Mali Best". It's located at Chenang beach in langkawi, all chalets are on the beach. But I don't think u will b able to get a room cos it's bit late for booking, besides it is a travel season in December. There are quite a nnumber of chalet nearby in case of unavailability of rooms. Google internet urself...

Click me for MaliBest Resort

Renting a car of cos is always better than a cab, taking a cab will always cost u alot going to the town or having sight seeing (of cos u need a map if u are first timer visiting langkawi). For car rental, if not so many frens eg.4 pax, u may rent a Kancil for RM45 a day, driving car heading to Kuah town about 25mins from Chenang Beach.

Places to be recommended to go for first timer:
1) Snorkelling Pulua Payar
This tourney is a bit costly which cost about RM80 - RM100 for a trip, (including roudtrip ferry, lunch, snorkelling equipment, baby shark feeding...), this trip will kill half of the day... Beware of profiteer in Langkawi..

2)Cable car
3)Underwater world (new building has been built, got penguin)
4)Blank Sandbeach
5)Kuah town (shopping)
6)Eagle square
7)Explore urself

Usually the activities listed above is for 4d3nites trip which i recommend.

Buying duty-free item in Kuah town must be carefull, do survey in all the shops nearby cos different shops they selling diff price esp hard-liquor. Buying chocolate must see the expiry date...They selling expired chocolate rclxub.gif

BEWARE of PROFITEER....

Emm.. Aseania Resort Langkawi also not bad, It's quite nearby Chenang Beach. If u wan go for it with 150 at Asenia Resort, i think it's impossible cos I think there will be a surcharge in December, mostly likely RM160++...

Here is the Asenia Resort link
Click Me

IF u really wan to go for those less than 150, I think only choice is chalet lor, but Awana Porto Malai genting Langkawi is doing promotion at RM90++ something if not mistaken.

There are even less than RM50 per nite also availble in Langkawi, but don't expect to much cos its too cheap. (got cockroach)

BTW, u didn't tell me how many ppl are going along? wat type of room u wan? Frankly speaking, it's hardly get a room now for reservation cos u are too late for the booking... Good luck anyway...

OF cos u can't find it out cos there was a previous name (forget wat name), now they've changed the name to MALIBEST.

There is quite a number of hidden charges, better read the terms and conditions or call them up. icon_rolleyes.gif

BEWARE OF PROFITEER IN LANGKAWI, THER ARE EVERYWHERE, THEY FOLLOW YOU LIKE DOGS. thumbup.gif

Emm...these question ar...What u think online purchase? Is it safe?
If u trust then it is safe lor icon_idea.gif
U can do it by doing online banking wat...Ask their bank account number, then bank in lar. After u bank in then make a phone call to them, do bring ur banking receipt when u reach there.

Congratulations to you for getting the room easily, where is it?
How u guys go there? By plane or train? By plane shud be Air asia rite, if by train shud by KTM one lor. Don't simply get a car fr any agents located at Kuah Jetty. They will ask for deposit fr u then they jus simply change car for u even they don't contact u, so bcareful. Better find their company and rent it. Car rental shud be available around the accomodation area anywhere, do survey urself.

Are ur frens big size? if not then go for kancil lar, save petrol and rental charge. Usually cost u RM45 to RM50, u need to pay deposit for car rental. There is another choice, going for proton iswara also cost RM50 for some shop. Do survey, all are many different kinds of car to be rent, see whether u can affort it or not.
BTW, do check everything is fine to the car which u rent for, safety first. It's not recommended over speeding in nearby Kuah town cos there is sometimes polis setting up block/post especially at nite. Hopefully this will help u..
