Best Hotels near the Beach in Langkawi

"Value for money. When we arrived we like the lobby so much that we asked if it's possible to have an upgrade. Unfortunately it was full. The room we booked was slightly smaller than what we expected, but it have everything that we needed. And it's very cosy. We went to spa, it's so good. We spent at the pool in the evening, the music and drinks were good. We don't even need to go to the beach. Maybe the downside is the food, breakfast some of it were okay, some are not. And we even take a sunset cruise with one that they suggested, and that's the star of our experience in langkawi. Overall, we really love it and hope to go there again. "

This is one of the best hotel in Langkawi"

"We stayed at the Berjaya Langkawi from December 21st - 24th. Dunno why it says submission date is October - it is 27th December today. My first impression was that the hotel was HUGE. However, a buggy service is available 24/7 that takes you to your rooms and back which was very helpful. The staff were all very friendly and they upgraded our room to a king-sized bed instead of a double bed which was very nice. The room itself was very sufficient. Each little hut protrudes from the face of the jungle (or sea if you paid for the waterside chalets) and on first impression looks very basic. However, they put a lot of effort into doing it up and it looks fantastic inside and each hut has a balcony where each morning you can see monkeys swinging around and various tropical birds. It is fully air conditioned and has a power shower so although it is a hut, the interior has the feel of a standard city hotel room with a rustic feel. The only bad things about the hotel was that it is far from Pantai Cenang (the main tourist area) and Kuah (city center) but taxis are easy to come by and cheap as chips. The main spread for breakfast was massive and good and the facilities fantastic. The spa was wonderful, relatively well-priced and had a wonderful set of baths set into the tropical atmosphere. The themed swimming pool and private beach area with volleyball/football/watersport facilities completed the resort feeling. In terms of tour bookings, we assessed all the options from Kuah to Pantai Cenang and the hotel and found a minimal difference in price. Safety was always the first and foremost concern with the hotel and as they weren't tied to individual tour operators, they were able to offer the most balanced recommendation and suitable tour operator (e.g. families with kids etc). All in all, I would highly recommend the Berjaya Langkawi. If I returned I would most certainly book that hotel again."

"There is nothing less than spectacular that can be said about our experience at The Ritz Carlton Langkawi. The place is a true paradise from its luxurious accommodations, it's exquisite dining, truly exceptional staff and so much more. My wife and I had a wonderful journey and awesome honeymoon in Langkawi island! The sky, the beach, and the ocean, everything here is so bright and beautiful! The Ritz gave us an experience befitting all imaginations one can have for a romantic getaway.. From beautiful beaches, crystal blue waters, lush greenery, beautifully designed rooms, and the amount of activities there ... we wished to have stayed longer. Staying at The Ritz is the perfect choice and worth the journey from across the world. We could not have asked for a better honeymoon experience and will definitely be back soon."

"Best value for money if you want to stay at a 5-star hotel in Langkawi. Beautiful views from every sea-facing room. Staff are generally friendly and helpful but some of them they need to be more proactive and make an effort to understand English better. Great for honeymooners."

"Nice and luxurious hotel with high service standards. Hotel looks new and well maintained. Been to a couple of 5 star hotels in Malaysia particularly in JB but the service standards of Danna cannot be matched. My flight is in the evening so i requested for a late check out. Initially we were given up till 3pm. I asked if i can check out at 4pm instead as my flight is at 5.55pm. The manager eventually obliged and i was really grateful for that as im with a 2 year old toddler and i had to factor in her nap times etc. Not sure if other hotels will allow such complimentary check outs. The swimming pool is great too. Hard to fault the hotel in any way but if i must mention the disadvantage of staying in this hotel would be the location which is far away from town and cheap local street food. Since it was my first time in Langkawi I was not sure of the more happening areas which are Pantai Cenang and Kuah. Travelling out via taxis to these areas 1 way costs 30 to 40rm. Spent quite a far bit on travelling out as I wanted to explore Langkawi. I also engaged a private driver with the hotel which costs 180rm for 3 hours. Quite expensive in my view but be prepared to spend when u stay in this hotel since it is located at the western end of Langkawi. The 5 star hotels tend to be located privately away from town. The only advantage of the location of the Danna is that it is near to the cable car which costs 10rm taxi ride 1 way. All in all my stay in Danna was pleasant and memorable and i would definitely recommend it. "

"My husband and I decided on St. Regis Langkawi, was the best choice, after sourcing a few other hotels. And boy, were we in for a treat. The staff were attentive and friendly. They were very welcoming. We got upgraded FOC as they knew we were on our anniversary. The decor was so immaculate and luxurious. If the facilities in St. Regis weren't enough, you can get a buggy ride to use the sister's hotel, Westin, facilities. The hotels are just next to each other. A butler was assigned to each of the suites, and should we require their services, they would attend to us. I've never felt so pampered. I wish I can come and stay in this little piece of heaven again in the future. (: "

"We stayed here for our first wedding anniversary. And it was totally worth. Staff was extremely friendly, private beach was superb and the view was amazing. Very calm and quit place (Although there was a renovation going on it didn't affect for our stay at all).Most of the time there was no one in the beach and it was like our own beach. Fantastic bed and nicely decorated room. We had complimentary fruit basket, delicious cake and chocolates in the room. I have stayed in few 5 star and 4 star hotels in Malaysia(KL, Penang, Cameron Highlands, Malacca) and this one is the best out of all of them. I read some reviews before book this hotel and some people were complaining about the food and WiFi. I am not sure if they have enhanced recently, but in my experience WiFi was good so does food. We had dinner and breakfast from the hotel and we liked the food. I have to specially mention about the staff. They were super friendly and attentive. They deserved a good review. I wish if I could stay few more days. I would definitely go there again. And would recommend to others. "

"Camar was not the first resort which popped up on my choice of hotels in Langkawi but I have no regrets. From the time we stepped into the hotel the staff were extremely helpful and friendly not to mention going out of their way to find mint for our mojitos! If you're looking for a laid back, relaxing stay in Langkawi this hotel is for you. The pool was pristine and breakfast options were more than adequate. The resort is a short Grab ride from Pantai Cenang and there is nothing you cannot get from close by. We even booked tours and exchanged currency right across from the hotel with extremely competitive rates. I hope the resort keeps up their high level of cleanliness and professionalism for years to come."

"The experience in Aloft was amazing! A little far from central area but grab is easy and cheap to get! Staff were polite and always ready to serve with a smile, walking up to guests asking if they need assistance in anything! The room was big and spacious, with comfy pillows and bed! Toilet was big and very clean! The balcony had an amazing sea view and feels good to just relax and have a meal out there while watching the sunset. The infinity swimming pool was a great place to unwind and chill with a beer, especially the jacuzzi area. We didn’t manage to use the gym but it looks well equipped and well-maintained! They even have a big kids room with programs (origami, cupcake design, etc) everyday to keep the young ones busy! Last but not least, we look forward to breakfast every day! They have a wide variety of food and we were spoilt for choices every day! Thank you Aloft for such a wonderful vacation experience in Langkawi and making this stay the highlight of our trip! THUMBS UP!"
