Best Langkawi Hotels

"Booked Malibest Resort for my missus, sister-in-law, and our two little ones for a 3-night break. They paid RM100 deposit for two rooms. They asked for connecting rooms, but due to peak season, the hotel could only offer nearby rooms on the same floor with another guest in between. Staff said we could swap if the middle room became free, but the guest stayed longer, so no luck—but it was fine. The hotel’s right in the heart of Cenang, and with peak season in full swing, it was packed. They hired a car to explore Langkawi, but parking was tricky—no private lot, so had to leave the car on the far side street or at the nearby mall (RM20 overnight). A few times they used Grab instead, which made the car rental feel a bit wasted. Location-wise, it’s spot-on. Loads of duty-free shops, food places, and just steps from the beach. They walked to Underwater World too. The area’s buzzing with tourists, both local and international. Rooms were clean and quiet. The pool was sandy at the bottom—likely from beachgoers jumping in without rinsing. Inside the room, all the basics were covered: towels, shampoo, body wash, a fridge for takeaway, water boiler for coffee, and a telly with YouTube (which the kids loved). Also, it’s close to the airport—so no stress about getting there on time. Overall, a solid stay with great location and helpful staff. A few hiccups, but the family had a lovely time."

"1. Slow check in process by the staff who had assisted me as compared to my friend’s. Though I have 3 rooms to check in but was asked with lots of questions and the whole process took me at least 30mins? - not sure if this is normal. 2. Cleanliness of the room was horrific for a Google 5-star hotel. Mentioning the worst - Insect carcasses was noted at a corner of the living room on the check in day as shown in the picture. It was still there even after room service. 3. Cash left on the dining table when missing after returning to room at night. Believe it was assumed as ‘tips’ after room service? Tips for not cleaning insect carcasses? 4. The kitchen sink was clogged again despite the first repair. 5. 2 out of 4 toothbrush kits were opened with missing toothpaste on the check in day. Out of so many bads, at least I’m glad that the guards over there were friendly."

"This is the best hotel that i ever stayed. I have stayed at various 5 star hotels before, and this is the best hotel. To the management, please know that u have the best staff. Staff in reception, swimming pool, the one that help to carry my luggage and staff in cassia restaurant, all are very nice and polite. They are very helpful. Sure, i’ll choose to stay in this hotel if i visit langkawi again. Worth every penny. Even the seaview is beautiful. With huge balcony and breezy wind, i can’t wait to stay at this hotel again."

"Pro: -service particularly pool attendant and breakfast team lead -who assisted me they they noticed my arm in sling , much appreciated Cons: - room was v small. I thought maybe an an allowance would be made for to my injury but they insisted I had to pay for an upgrade ..I guess business is business? - there are minimal tv channels (only apps) so no mainstream ones like bbc/cnn or even Malaysian astro sports - pool is very clean however not open till 8am or would be great if they could clean and open an hour earlier and maybe little later in evenings as the heat in LGK requires a cool off!!"

"Location was Great!, berdepan dengan dataran chenang. Parking limited utk guest 15lot, dan jauh di belakang (in case dapat blok hotel didepan) , selebihnya public parking yg perlu kupon/apps Flexiparking2.0 . Bilik yg luas sesuai utk family. Friendly user for stroller/wheelchair . Lain2 kelengkapan bilik air okay, cuma takda berus gigi. Kebersihan bilik , ada jumpa anak2 lipas 4 ekor. So if u all beli chocolate, carefull. Maybe bilik lama tak digunakan (not sure)."

"This was hands down the most satisfying hotel of our trip to Malaysia, and my friends were equally impressed. The service was impeccable, and the amenities were top-notch. Our rooms were individual wooden chalets, which made them incredibly quiet, and the surroundings were absolutely beautiful. Our sea-view room opened directly onto the ocean; it was bright, spacious, and had a generously sized bathroom. Each independent chalet comprised multiple rooms. They provided four complimentary bottles of water, with more available upon request. The hotel also offered free yoga classes. Unfortunately, we only stayed for two nights and didn't get to experience many of the facilities. Breakfast at the hotel was excellent, with two restaurants offering different cuisines. The Asian restaurant had tastier food, but the American restaurant boasted unparalleled views, being right by the sea and allowing you to enjoy breakfast facing the ocean. I couldn't resist the shrimp noodles at the Asian restaurant, so I ended up eating there for both days. The hotel features two very clean swimming pools, a beautiful artificial lake, and various other recreational facilities. Water sports bookings were available right next to the hotel, including banana boat rides and jet skiing. Next time, I'll definitely come just to relax and fully enjoy the hotel's offerings."

"This is an overall very good hotel. It is as advertised to be right at the heart of Pantai Cenang with basically everything walking distance to it. The room provided was rushed as we also did a rushed booking. Sound insulation is a major point of improvement. But everything else was okay. The price\value ratio of the hotel is based on its location but the facilities are like a decent 3 star hotel. Small pool and walkable to the beach. Free parking, good breakfast selection with local and international options, clean and modern facilties too. The staff is absolutely friendly and happy to help. Nice stay."

"We stay at the sea villa studio, quite secluded from the other hotel room and looks empty from far but everything is good actually. All amenities are complete, big room and quiet. The sea villas are also share with the langkawi lagoon residence and some personal buyer. Breakfast also nice and delicious. Only the location is not over the tourist area like pantai Cenang or pantai Tengah thus no direct beach access"

"The hotel really nice and highly recommended. About ten minutes drive from airport. Plenty of free parking and convenience stores within walking distance. The staffs are friendly and helpful. Will revisit the hotel in next trip to Langkawi."

"Pros: Just next to the airport, under 10 min walk Rooms were VERY spacious Their double beds were comfortable and quite wide (can fit 2 adults) Service was very good, all staff were friendly Pool was well maintained, very lively at night (with the live DJ and singers) Breakfast buffet has a wide variety, although the coffee maker could be upgraded (the staff had to consistently clear out the grounds and change the milk cartons) Cons: Rooms were quite outdated, definitely due for a refresh Bathroom mirrors had marks We had to change rooms twice - 1. First time was because our bathroom sink was pooling water; the water wasn't getting drained fully leaving at least 3cm of water in the sink 2. We could not sleep properly on our first night as the aircon was EXTREMELY NOISY and warm - was actually leaking throughout the night (we did not realize it until we woke up in the morning) Weak water flow in the shower - at one point it was too weak to even take a shower Public toilet near breakfast buffet restaurant has issues with the flush and the floor was almost always really wet The hotel has a lot of room for improvement, especially in terms of its amenities. Despite the cons, we still had a relatively comfortable stay."
