Langkawi Lagoon Resort

Hi,

I%26#39;m planning to go for my 2nd honeymoon in June%26#39;07 to Langkawi and am still looking for a good resort. I can see that Langkari Lagoon Resort is affordable and nice. Can anyone share their experiences with me? And is there internet in the rooms? I intend to stay in the Studio Suite with sea view. Thanks.

Langkawi Lagoon Resort

Dear Mas,

I had the misfortune of booking a holiday at this resort several years ago and it was simply one of my worst holiday experience at a local resort. For what we had paid, it was overated and simply not worth it. The resort is a few minutes away from the airport and nothing is within walking distance. The buffets were awful and unappetising and I would hate to think that you will be spending your honeymoon here. The beach is manmade and the sea there is not safe to swim in. It is murky, has jellyfish and the seabed is littered with sharpstones.

To be fair, you could read about other TA reviews and experiences there by simply typing in the resort in the two search boxes in this page. If you have the budget, try Casa Del Mar, Andaman, Datai or Tanjung Rhu. They have great reviews, or at the very least, stay at the resorts in Pantai Cenang. Have a Happy 2nd honeymoon and congratulations !

Hi travelandkids,

Thanks for your advise. Will consider to look at other resorts you%26#39;ve mentioned.

pinkgerl,

This place is just about ok, there are better places on Langkawi. Part of it is privately owned and the other part is a resort. There is no beach and the location is awful unless you rent a car. Its right next to an enormous condo complex as well, and very close to the airport. There is nothing within walking distance.

Absolutely not suitable for a honeymoon. Even a second one !

Have a look at -

Pelangi

Mutiara

Berjaya

Holiday Villa

They are all better than Langkawi Lagoon.

During my last trip to Langkawi, we drove around the whole island, visiting almost all the hotels by the beach, from Awana Port up to the Datai and Four seasons.

This is what I get from the impression I get from my visits. As it was quite some time ago, I couldn%26#39;t remember v clearly some of the names and locations.

Berjaya is quite nice. Surrounded by trees. It has a small beach which is very quiet when I was there. Can see a bit of the sunset from there.

Mutiara and Holiday Villa looks like it has more families and kids around. Mutiara is near the cable car and the waterfall (2 places u hv to visit in Langkawi).

Frangipanni, just renovated in 2006. Has rooms that has outdoor private jaccuzi. Service not v good.

The Datai. Very secluded. Must have transport arrangements. It%26#39;s so quiet there I heard people complaining when kids simply just run around and have fun in the pool.

There%26#39;s a hotel beside the four seasons, I can%26#39;t remember the name... I think it%26#39;s tanjong Rhu hotel. Nice swimming pool. Stung by jellyfish. Then a walk along the beach n I realise how much jellyfish there were... scary.

If you want something simple and quiet. Try Beach Garden resort. It%26#39;s nothing fanciful. Small and quiet. But the food there is not bad, by Langkawi standard.

Or Sandy beach motel. It has a nice treetop cabin with balcony, right on the Cenang Beach. Beautiful sunset from here.

Hi

For honeymoon within 3 stars budget, try Berjaya, Mutiara or Tanjung Sanctuary.

These resorts require cabs to Pantai Cenang but are peaceful and full of natural surrounding.
