I plan to travel with my mother to Langkawi next next week. I will come by ferry from Penang Island. I plan to spend two nights there. Is it possible if I come all by myself without any arrangement with the travel agent?
Can anybody suggest me the cheapest accomodation in Pulau Langkawi. I dont mind the standart. My budget is around RM 25-35 per room per night.
Is there any cheap way to reach Pulau Langkawi (as the ferry will cost around RM 80 per person for a return trip)? :)
Thank you

I will be visiting Langkawi for the 1st time very soon. Will be taking the ferry from Penang and planning to stay for 3 nights.

Any recommendations for the cheapest hotel within walking distance from jetty/town areas would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

hi
i went to langkawi last year where i saw hotel in huts at some beach for around 100 MYR only. but i am not recalling the area and name. can somebody guide me?

Hi,

Can anyone please recommend good+cheap hotels in Langkawi?

There are loads to choose from but if you can share your experience, that would be great. I am looking to spend up to 200MYR per night - could spend a bit more if the hotel is really really good

i would like to ask about that whether is it true have a new hotel will be open at Pulau Langkawi??...i heard that this hotel will be open on August...but i m not sure is it true...so anybody there heard about it too??...and what is that hotel's name??

hi all, new here.

I was thinking about Pulau Payar Marine Park (1 day) and Cable car etc (1/2 day),Mangrove trip (1 day)? Is it possible? Also need to squeeze some time for my kid to leisure play on the beach and shopping ......Or any other suggestions?


Anyone have suggestions for good shopping or pasar malams ?

For Pulau Payar..I would like to let my kid (if possible no swimming) walk and stand on the water and see the fish and possibly see shark feeding. Possible?

Thanks all in advance.

I'm taking flight frm KL to Alor Star. Does anyone knows how to get to Hatyai frm Alor Star by bus(bus company?) or taxi... & the rates plz..How far is airport to Alor Star station bus.

Bad news....Our booking at Lanai resort, via HotelTravel was not confirmed even though they took the money. However, the funny is that Lanai has replied by mail previously that they do have free deluxe...we're puzzled.In a nutshell...we're now in the air...no booking confirmed...we need beach and fun (for us and baby). Should we take the chance to go from airport directly on hotel doors looking for a room? Where would be the best? Any urgent advise will be highly appreciated!!!

We will be next weekend in Langkawi. The idea was just born, so we need now some advise about a nice place to stay (~50usd). We will be with our 2yo kid and her granny. I heard Paya is the diving site, is it far from Cenang? How about the weather next weekend...any clues?
Thanks in advance for all tips!

Hello all, going to Langkawi in July with children and our maid. Can someone recommend a clean guesthouse type of accommodation that offer family room as well as dorm beds? Thank you.

Can anyone tell me if jelly fish are a problem on Lankawi at the moment .Is the north shore better or worse in April

Aside from the Pasar Malam in Kuah held on Saturday and Wednesday evenings, where else are there any other pasar malams? I will be in Langkawi from Saturday to tuesday afternoon and staying at either Pantai Cenang or Tengah. Any near those two beaches during that time? If there is I'd rather go there than to drive into Kuah. We will have a rented car at our disposal. Also, the pasar malam operates from and till what time? Aside from the pasar malam, where else can I find good variety of street food vendors?

Hi.

Can't really make up my mind about where to stay on Langkawi.
I would like a good beach, preferably with good snorkeling.
It would be good if there was some kind of town or village close by as I don't like paying hotel prices for food.
Thanks for the help.

Hi we are 2 couples looking at holidaying at the end of July in Penang for 7nights then 3 nights over on Langkawi, asking for advice as to what would be the best way to book. Should we book Penang for the 10nights and then just ferry over to Langkawi for the 3nights, booking when we get there? Or is it cheaper to book both destinations B4 we go, Flying to Langkawi or ferry? Where are the best places to stay, we like 4star as we are not chickens any more, and like to be spoilt a little, as were not boilers yet. Thanks' for any advice you may have to offer. Places to eat, love trying the local food, also things to do would be Gr8. What is the weather usually like around that time of year.

Has anyone stayed in either Nadias Inn or AB Motel? Any comment for both places before I make the booking?

Can anyone recommend resort or hotel at the cost of RM150-RM200 per night. Preferably near the beach and not far from Kuah town. Not looking for luxury type facilities.
