I had the pleasure of staying at Holiday Villa Resort & Beachclub Langkawi from September 15th to 19th, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience from start to finish. The resort is beautifully landscaped with lush tropical greenery and direct access to a pristine beach—every morning felt like stepping into a peaceful island paradise. My room was spacious, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully furnished with everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. I especially loved starting my days on the balcony, sipping coffee while listening to birdsong and watching the calm pool and garden scene unfold. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive—whether it was the front desk team, housekeeping, or restaurant staff, everyone went the extra mile with a smile. The beach itself was perfect: crystal-clear water, soft sand, and a serene atmosphere ideal for swimming or simply unwinding under the sun. I also appreciated the well-maintained amenities, including the stunning infinity pool, tranquil spa, and the beachfront dining spot that offered delicious meals with a view. Overall, this resort strikes the perfect balance between tranquility and comfort. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a true retreat. I couldn’t recommend it more highly, and I’ll definitely be coming back.
Maneh Villa in Langkawi Central Beach truly exceeded our expectations. With over a dozen private villas featuring individual swimming pools, options range from one-bedroom to three-bedroom layouts—perfect for families or groups of friends. We booked a two-bedroom villa with four colleagues, and the space was spacious and cozy. We enjoyed relaxing in the pool, playing cards, and watching TV—all from the comfort of our room. Dining nearby is super convenient, with plenty of local eateries within walking distance. While the villa comes equipped with basic kitchenware, cooking is limited to the microwave, so it’s best for simple meals. What really stood out was the exceptional service: we connected with the front desk via WeChat, which made communication smooth and efficient. Breakfast was delivered right to our room each morning—a small but thoughtful touch. The hotel also offers affordable excursions like mangrove tours and sunset cruises—some even cheaper than external providers. We also tried in-room spa treatments, choosing either male or female therapists, and had ours by the poolside. The experience was incredibly relaxing, and the price was far more reasonable than what you’d find at other hotels. Overall, this place delivers outstanding value and a memorable stay.

Staying at D'Lima Beach Inn was an absolute delight! The moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the warm and cozy atmosphere. The location is unbeatable—just a quick stroll across the street and you're right on the beach. I loved waking up to the sound of waves every morning.

The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. For anyone looking for a relaxed, authentic island getaway with great value, this place is a must-visit.
We stayed at Kunang Kunang Heritage Villas with my parents during our trip to Langkawi, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The traditional Malay-style villa has such unique charm—the architecture, woodwork, and cultural details really make you feel immersed in local heritage. The rooms were spotless, clean, and well-maintained, and the staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality. One thing to note is its proximity to the airport—planes fly overhead quite frequently, which can be noticeable, especially early in the morning when prayers start before sunrise. Also, on cloudy or rainy days, natural light is limited, making the rooms feel a bit dimmer than ideal. That said, these are minor points for a property that offers such authentic character, peaceful surroundings, and excellent value. Perfect for families looking for a quiet retreat with a touch of tradition. I’d definitely recommend this place and plan to return.
The wooden cottage has a lot of character, but the reality was far from comfortable. We were constantly bothered by mosquitoes—so bad that we couldn’t sleep at all. It felt more like sleeping outside than inside, with open windows and no real protection from the elements, wind, noise, or insects. To make matters worse, the first unit we were assigned was extremely dirty—dusty furniture, spider webs in corners, and even mouse droppings. We had no bedding to sleep on and had to wait until nearly 11 PM before getting any. The worst part? My 4-year-old daughter ended up with severe mosquito bites on her face, leaving visible marks. That experience was deeply upsetting and completely unacceptable. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone, especially families. It’s not worth the price, and definitely not something I’d ever book again.
This hidden gem is pure tranquility! We stayed so comfortably that we ended up extending our trip—couldn’t bear to leave. The natural surroundings are breathtaking, with rich wildlife and lush greenery all around. The room was excellent: clean, cozy, and with a great mattress for a restful night’s sleep. I especially loved the little outdoor nook with its handy mini-fridge—perfect for keeping drinks cool during hot afternoons. Breakfast was fantastic, offering something for every taste, from local delights to international favorites. The pool area is peaceful and inviting—ideal for relaxing under the sun. And Ema? She’s radiant and genuinely attentive, making us feel right at home. Her warmth and care made the stay unforgettable. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat with heart, this place is absolutely perfect.
I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Royale Chenang Resort! From the moment I arrived, the front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in a seamless and welcoming experience. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and greeted me with a refreshing scent as soon as I walked in—such a nice touch. I especially appreciated that the property is Muslim-friendly, which made me feel comfortable and respected throughout my visit. The bed and pillows were incredibly cozy, ensuring a deeply restful night’s sleep. The air conditioning worked flawlessly, cooling down the room quickly and efficiently. I also noticed the bathroom had been freshly painted, which speaks volumes about the attention to detail and cleanliness. For future improvements, I’d suggest adding a small light near the vanity table and enhancing the bathroom ventilation system. Overall, this was an outstanding value for money—excellent service, beautiful setting, and top-notch comfort. I’m already planning my return trip!
I was absolutely thrilled with my stay at Tokman Inn—so much so that I’m already planning my return visit! The location is perfect: just a short walk from the main attractions and surrounded by great local eateries. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, friendly service—always smiling and ready to help. It’s rare to find such a peaceful yet convenient spot in Langkawi. For the price, this place offers incredible value. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting the island.

The rooms are spacious, spotless, and comfortable—exactly what you want after a long day. The staff are incredibly friendly and always ready to help.

I especially loved having a table and chairs right outside my room; even when it rained, I could still enjoy the sounds of nature from the comfort of my private little space. There are plenty of great cafes nearby, so dining options are never an issue. It’s a pleasant 15-minute walk to Chenang Mall if you fancy shopping or grabbing a bite. Breakfast was delicious and well-balanced. Overall, the value for money is outstanding. Just a quick note: don’t forget to bring a power adapter—outlets here use local plugs.

The Inapan Aishah Motel is a decent option for a quiet stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, making it a good choice for families looking to relax without the crowds. While it’s a bit far from Chenang Beach, it’s still accessible with a short drive or local transport—perfect if you prefer a more peaceful atmosphere away from the touristy spots.
