Pulau Langkawi Travel Forum

Hi

what would be the convenient and economical way of geting to langkawai other than a direct flight to there. travelling through malaysia will also give us an opportunity to take in some malysian culture etc.

we request members who have used the above resort or have opinion about it to let us know what we can possibly expect staying at this resort. so far we have read mixed reviews ( unfornunately mostly negative about the maintenance cleanliness of the rooms and staff attitude ).

do include the do's and dont's at this place and the islands in general.

and of course the all time favourites of us all - the eateries and shopping. any guidelines will be appreciated.

regards

Hi there!!! You can try the Senandung Langkawi train (sleeping couch ) to Arau station. The train will reach there at about 6a.m. From there, take a bus to Kangar bus station. Reaching the station, u can see buses to Kuala Perlis. Only about RM2.00. I stayed at the Aseania Resort Langkawi last year. To be honest, I don't recommend anyone to stay there unless you have transportastion of your own. From the hotel to Kuah, one has to pay RM20. Imagine that is only for a single trip to town. The hotel is nice though but just too far from town.There are no buses to town from the hotel. Shopping in Kuah is cheaper compared to other places. Enjoy your trip!!!
