The Bayview Hotel Langkawi is a dated, mid-range property that attracts both couples and families, despite that there's little for kids to do on-site. The lobby is outfitted with attractive marble flooring and wooden benches, but the dozens of tiny and larger Malaysian flags are cheesy. The rest of the common areas are furnished with worn, old-fashioned decor, such as the Flamingo Restaurant's various patterns and colors in the armchairs, carpet, and drapery. The outdoor pool is simple and showing age, but it has lovely sea views and potted plants lining the perimeter. The vibe is generally relaxed, though the Woodpecker Lounge is a fun, casual place for guests to catch live entertainment. Note that smoking is not allowed on-site. #createwithtrip
