Langgura Baron Resort

The location is quite good. Just cross the road, and behind a row of buildings, you'll find the beach. There's a swimming pool in the courtyard, which the kids really enjoyed. Downstairs is very lively, with restaurants, shops, and duty-free stores – you name it, they have it. The biggest problem is that the windows can't be opened, and there's an unpleasant smell in the room, so if you're sensitive to that, you should think twice. The building opposite is still under construction, and it was also under construction when I came to Langkawi last year. There's construction noise quite early in the morning.

You get what you pay for. No price hike during Chinese New Year, which is great. It's conveniently located, making it easy to get around. The wooden cabin was quite charming, though a bit old. You'll need to bring your own toiletries and slippers. They do clean the room daily. The soundproofing isn't great, but everything else is acceptable!
