The hotel is a dream! Everything is beautifully furnished and it's really super clean! The concept with the lounge and the kitchen is a really good idea! We received a very warm and friendly welcome. We are on our honeymoon and there was a surprise waiting in our room (see photo). A visit here is really something very special. We have extended our stay by a week because we like it so much. The staff are very accommodating, kind and friendly! Chanel and Miumiu (the hotel owner's cats (also super friendly!!) who visit from time to time in their little house) must also be mentioned! We would love to take them with us :) We would really like to say a big thank you to the team, especially to Sharkir, he is always in a good mood, very hardworking, super friendly and very accommodating!

We stayed at this hotel for 8 nights and would have liked to stay longer. The island of Langkawi is peaceful and clean compared to other Asian islands. The hotel was amazing, we got a magnificent room on a higher floor with a sea view. The room was stylishly decorated and the bed was good for sleeping. The best part was the swimming pool area, which is located on the hotel's roof. From there are wonderful views of nature and the sea. The service in the pool area was friendly and the food and drinks were tasty. We also attended the weekend bbq dinner, which was worth the money. The hotel staff was always cheerful and helpful, thanks especially to the pool area Mr. Mark and the Bellman Mr. Jasni, who was always smiling and happy to help. Thank you for the wonderful experience, we recommend this hotel for everyone, especially for couples!

    The best stay I have ever had. Went for a honeymoon at the Premier Suite on Water. The view was amazingly beautiful and mesmerizing. The room was very comfortable and the private jacuzzi is the best thing about the room. Perfect place for a honeymoon. Went for a dinner at Pahn-Thai restaurant and the food was sensational. We really enjoyed the free breakfast at Dayang Cafe and Beach Brasserie. I made a surprise for my wife for a Romantic Beach Dinner by the beach, and it was really a lifetime experience. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I even left my wedding ring after checking out, and the staff wasn’t hesitating to help and luckily found it in place.

    Pantai Cenang is a beautiful beach with soft white sand, clear waters, and stunning sunsets. It’s lively and full of activities like water sports, boat rides, and plenty of beachfront restaurants and cafés. The area can get quite crowded in the evenings, but that also adds to its vibrant atmosphere. A great spot for families, couples, and anyone who enjoys a fun beach vibe.

    It is a small peaceful town with lots of shops you find in big cities. The food is cheap. The Pasar Tani was interesting. It is situated behind Restoran Berkat. This restaurant consists of a few stalls serving local delicacies. A must come for people not familiar with the local food. There is a more modern township called Amanjaya for the younger ones. But I prefer the area around the famous Clock Tower.

    Small town, not suitable for shoppers. Recommended for those who enjoying eating. Recommended place is Dusun Riffa which can spend time from 9 am - 7 pm with good scenery, clean place and very good food. Also recommended KinKin Restaurant which is cheap but tasty. A few more good foods but can find other places as well. Bundle shops - there are a lot of good stuff to shop with good quality.
