Malibest Resort

A place which is good and convenient for my Ironman 2018 event in Langkawi. Hotel staff is polite and friendly. All requests were entertained diligently. The hotel is clean and having their own beach. Definitely will come back in near future.

The view from our room was spectacular and the hotel is on the beach...unfortunately that's the only good thing I can say about this place. First if you haven't been to Langkawi, know that it's hot...real hot. It's very important to have a more than functional air conditioner. We set ours on maximum fan speed and the temperature to 16 degrees and it barely cooled our room. To make matters worse, it shut off every hour and we had to physically turn it back on. Taking a shower involves getting the entire bathroom floor soaked which made it slippery. You are given one towel each day. No wash clothes or hand towels. The towels are on there last legs and I find it ironic that the hotel informed us that we would be charged 20 RM for a missing towel. Like who would want to steal one of these? As for the bed, it was OK maybe a little firm for my tastes but the pillows should have been retired long ago. I could go on but I would say "Stay at your own risk".

best hotel. near to the beach

They gave me a room totally different than the one I’ve booked in agoda, first of all it’s in the back street and far away from the reciption, second, it was very dirty having dust and spider webs all over the place, the air con is very old and not even working probably, bed sheets are absolutely not washed for a while and smells. In other simple words, it was a miserable night .

Very near to the beach but the watersport staff was very rude when I asked about where to get some good food. They should be more friendly not been rude. No attitude. Everything is ok, the room is ok but not too big. Hot water not so hot. Fyi, no proper parking. Need to find the nearest parking beside the road.

When staying at the Malibest you are paying for the location. There is limited service and acknowledgement from staff as they give you little to no information. The room I was given was over the road and was in very poor condition- no light fittings, cracked tiles etc. for the price it’s not acceptable and really needs to be addressed and revamped. The credit should go to the cleaning staff as it was maintained and very clean. A small book with details of the hotel eg. Where to get towels for swimming, things to do in Langkawi would be great and ease pressure off the staff. Also investing in hotel training would benefit this place to fulfil its potential. I have stayed in hostels rooms that are better quality and cheaper. I chose this based on location, reviews and what it looked like only to be disappointed.m. I didn’t mind my stay and I was expecting 5 star but, it’s frustrating when you have paid for a service/decent room and it doesn’t deliver.

room is big, towels are old n torn, close to beach, n duty free lots around, restaurant very close every where, only parking is not convinet.

Location near to the beach . The swimming nice for children. The family very big . The facilities very basic but clean . So near to eating area and walking distance to all the shop and shopping area .

The downs 1. We reached the hotel after check in time around 3ish PM. When we arrived, we saw a long queue just to check in. Trying to positive thinking that probably because it's high peak season cause it's new year's eve, we let it slide. We needed to queue for about 45 minutes only it's our turn to check in. Once I'm at the counter I needed to wait for another 10 minutes cause God knows what they need to do. 2. Check in settled. We went to our room. After long day on boat from Koh Lipe and traveling, of course we want to freshen up our body only to realize there are no towels provided! Spoke with the housekeeping they said the laundromat haven't delivered the towels. We waited for two hours still no towels delivered to our room. I decided to go to the check in counter (cause they have no phone access to call) only to get the same answer that the laundry haven't done. With no effort to try to figure out when will they deliver it and with no sorry as well, I was really disappointed. We decided to go out from our room to get dinner and 7PM without taking a bath. Luckily when we came back at 11PM they already delivered the towels. 3. And now it's time to check out. Once again, I need to queue for about 20 minutes just to check out. I thought I was in a queue trip 4. I have the feeling from my observations that the front staffs discriminate Malaysians. Just because we are Malaysians they didn't give us the same respect/service compared to the foreigners The not so ups 1. The view was OK. Got the sea view room but was blocked by a huge tree so we weren't impressed The ups 1. Location wise is centrally located in Cenang Beach

The room nothing great..just ordinary room with a medium space. The location near with beach. Cleanliness also just nice.

nice pool..the room are big enough for me with 3 child..have a nice view from my room level 4. in my view the hotel should have a water dispencer for family with baby and hotel should provide lift only use with wet cloth.

Hello, i like our room is clean and cozy and elevators are life savers. But my aunty's room (who specifically asked for a sea view room) is NOT a sea view room but instead a ROOF view room (most 1st lvl rooms are) she was so angry.. But the hotel agreed to change a her to the beach front cabins with a little bit more money.. those beach front rooms are not on sale in AGODA, i wonder why.. pls upgrade your swimming pool facilities ie towels and more showers pls.. and mostly PLEASE ADD WATER PIPES NEARBY to wash our sandy feet and shoes before we could enter the elevetor/stairs.. PLS add coway/cuckoo on every floor for mommies who is very much concerned with water purity and a new iron board.. overall it was super!!! tq

This is my second time stayed at Malibest Resort. The first time was 6 years ago 2012. We had the room on the tree. But this time we stay at the new building. The room given was so perfect, pool and sea view. I really enjoyed our strayed at Malibest. The bed, the room everything here is near to everything shops, beach, restaurants.. Thank you Malibest

Pro: Nice location, nice view. Easy to find place to eat and shopping. Spacious room for 4 Con: room is smelly from the carpet. Water in toilet is not clean. no parking provided, need to park along the road.

The family room is spacious and we like it but the aircond circulation is not good, it was so hot in the room till we have to move to sleep on the floor underneath the aircond . Swimming pool not that clean , may be peak season with high usage but kids still enjoy it very much The staircase goes up to the water slide is very stiff, pretty dangerous for kids, hope the management can improve on this

Have always love the place but could be better if provide parking.

Overall the room is very clean. I hope in the future, telephone to be placed in each room so that it will be easier to intercom the customer service center in case if we need something instead of going up and down to the receptionist counter(which was in another building). Upon our arrival at night, we noticed that our room blacked out every 30 minutes for three times. Once we lodge the complain, they immediately called the maintenance to check to see what is wrong. Since it is already almost 10 pm, they decided to change our room. The team during that shift had done a great job for being alert and fast in solving the issue.

This is the second time we have stayed at Malibest. It is so well placed location wise. Beach in front, shops and restaurants behind. Staff are friendly. Rooms are cleaned every day. For us it is the ideal hotel to stay in beautiful Cenang. We will be back.😊😎😊

For people looking at a typical Langkawi experience on a budget. Stayed in a superior room with an awesome view (insist on higher floor rooms). Located right next to the Cenang Beach. With a host of restaurants (catering to all tastes) at walking distance from the resort. Basic facilities including a swimming pool.

Great location but there's some renovation as well as roadworks going on while we were there, so it was difficult to get parking. Basic room but near beach. Room could use some sound proofing. Can't complain bout cleanliness cause we were so close to the beach and your bound to get sand everywhere.
