This resort is truly impressive—spacious, beautifully designed, and deeply immersed in nature. The service stands out from the moment you arrive. Faraaz was incredibly welcoming and helpful during check-in; I arrived early, and he personally made sure I could check into my room ahead of schedule, which was a thoughtful touch. The setting is absolutely stunning—nestled against the hills and surrounded by lush greenery, it feels like a hidden paradise. There are plenty of activities within the resort grounds, and nearby attractions like the skybridge and Oriental Village are just a short shuttle ride away (the resort offers complimentary one-way transfers). While the room itself shows signs of age, the housekeeping team does an outstanding job—everything was spotless, no unpleasant odors, and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. The only minor issue was small gaps around the door that allowed geckos to enter. One large one even made the bathroom its home! Thankfully, the front desk was responsive, and security came late at night to assist with the search, though it had already disappeared. The next day, I spotted another one sneaking through the gap—there’s a brush at the bottom of the door, but it doesn’t seal completely. I improvised with towels until I found a better solution. I understand this is a nature-rich environment, so these little creatures will always find a way in. Breakfast was exceptional—hands down the most hardworking team I’ve ever seen in all my travels. They greet guests, seat everyone, and still go above and beyond for latecomers, waiting patiently even if people linger over a leisurely meal. The food quality is top-notch and delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful stay. Pro tip: Make a reservation for Phan Thai in advance—aim for 6:30 PM. You’ll get the best views as the sky turns into golden hues before sunset, and it’s much quieter than after 7:40 when it gets busy—even though it’s still bright out.

Staying at Kapal Terbang Guest House in Langkawi was an absolute delight. The villa is spacious and well-maintained, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush greenery.

The location is ideal for exploring major attractions by car, and the swimming pool is clean and refreshing, professionally maintained every morning. Despite the remote feel, everything we needed was within reach. This place truly delivers exceptional value for the price. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, authentic getaway in Langkawi.

This was hands down the worst hotel experience I've ever had. The wires were hanging loose from behind and beside the bed—multiple cords, not just a few. It was a real safety hazard. The carpet looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years, stained and worn thin. All the fixtures were completely worn out and falling apart. Breakfast? Just a bunch of unidentifiable gruel-like dishes—I couldn’t even recognize half the items. It was so bad we left the dining area immediately and went out to eat elsewhere. We ended up searching for another place, booking it right away, and checked out the same day. This property shouldn’t be operating at all. It needs full renovation—or better yet, closure. I genuinely feel sorry for the staff who have to work in such conditions. Please, don’t go here. It’s not worth it.

Staying at Cenang Room Rahsia Motel was a fantastic experience. The room is spacious and feels like a cozy mini studio—perfectly set up for comfort and relaxation.

The location is unbeatable: just a short walk to Cenang Beach and the bustling commercial street, where you’ll find plenty of restaurants and local shops on both sides. It’s also only about 10 km from the airport, making travel in and out super convenient. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with any request. Overall, this place is an excellent choice for solo travelers looking for a peaceful yet well-connected stay. With its great value, friendly vibe, and central location, I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Langkawi.
