The location is unbeatable: just a 5-minute walk to the beach, restaurants, shops, and spas. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and featured a comfortable bed with high-quality linens. The bathroom, while compact, was immaculate with a great shower. Our favorite part? The little balcony with stunning sunset views—perfect for relaxing evenings.

For the same price in this area, you simply don’t get this level of comfort and cleanliness elsewhere. The only regret? Not discovering this place sooner! (We’d have appreciated a bit more toilet paper—though it’s common not to find it included here.)

The room at Sandy Garden Resort Langkawi is spacious and comes in a private bungalow setting, which offers great privacy. The air conditioning works perfectly and keeps the space cool and comfortable throughout the day. One thing to note is that the bathroom lacks a shower curtain, so water tends to splash out during showers—just be cautious. There’s no closet either, so storage space for belongings is limited; bringing a small suitcase organizer helps. Breakfast is served at a nearby café with three options to choose from each morning—no buffet, but the food is fresh and tasty. The main beach is just a 5-minute walk away, making it super convenient for relaxing by the sea or watching the sunset. Overall, this resort delivers excellent value with a peaceful vibe and easy access to the beach. Highly recommended for a quiet getaway.

The room was spotless, bright, and cozy with a comfortable bed and powerful air conditioning that kept things cool even during the hottest part of the day. Housekeeping was attentive and maintained a high standard of cleanliness every single day. We especially loved the rooftop restaurant — the views of the sea were breathtaking, making it an ideal spot for both breakfast and sunset dinners. The staff went above and beyond; they were friendly, helpful, and even gave us great tips on nearby attractions and transportation options. For the quality, location, and service, this place offers incredible value. I’d 100% recommend it and would definitely come back again.
The location is perfect—right across from Cenang Beach, with food stalls, convenience stores, and tour desks all within easy walking distance, open 24/7. The room was spotless, the bed incredibly comfortable, and the blanket provided just the right warmth for cooler evenings. Water pressure is strong, and the hot water heater works reliably—great for a relaxing shower after a long day. My only minor issue was that my older phone couldn’t connect to the Wi-Fi, possibly due to lacking 5G support. Also, the TV and streaming box didn’t respond when I tried to turn them on, but it didn’t ruin the stay. Overall, this place delivers excellent value, especially with its unbeatable beachfront position and clean, cozy rooms. Would definitely return.
The restaurant at Corrie Chalet Pantai Cenang is an absolute highlight—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We especially loved the seafood; it was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection.
