4-Star Hotels in Kedah, Malaysia

The hotel is located on a private island, which was a fun experience as we had to take the free shuttle boat provided by the hotel to get in and out. The boats ran frequently. One evening, even though it wasn't shuttle time, they arranged a special boat just for me to go back to the hotel and rest. I booked a one-bedroom suite, but the hotel upgraded me to a two-bedroom suite. Both were over 100 square meters, but the extra room added more functionality, which was perfect for us as we just wanted to relax at the hotel. The three of us had a wonderful rest. There's a private beach, though the sand isn't very fine, and the sea in Langkawi generally isn't the clearest. Breakfast was hit or miss; sometimes good, sometimes not so good. Compared to another hotel we stayed at, we were very satisfied here. We were the only three Chinese guests at the hotel. The front desk staff had a strong English accent, but my child's English is good, so it wasn't an issue for us. The swimming pool water wasn't crystal clear; it was a bit murky. The service in Malaysia felt very straightforward, without much smiling, which might be a cultural thing. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.

If you're traveling with kids, book a room by the pool. Just slide the glass door and you're right in the water. The breakfast is really good, with a lot of protein. Refill service is super fast. Even during busy season, the buffet stays well-stocked through breakfast. The beach has plenty of sun beds, and the spot itself is fantastic. That said, in my experience, the jet skis and other activities make the beach and nearby area feel more commercial than private. It’s not your typical huge resort with buggies and all-inclusive, but it’s perfect for a quick two-night stay, good breakfast, clean beach, and sunbathing.. Cenang Mall is about a 15-minute walk, and there are lots of small restaurants nearby. Keep in mind, when we stayed there, there was construction next door, so the views and noises weren’t ideal for a holiday.

⭐We had a very enjoyable stay at Ombak Villa Langkawi. The resort is located in a peaceful setting by the sea and offers beautiful sunset views. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit, and the swimming pool area was a great place to unwind. The resort is also conveniently located close to the airport while still feeling quiet and secluded. Breakfast offered a good variety of options, and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The only minor downside was that some areas of the property could benefit from a little updating, but this did not affect our overall experience. We would happily recommend Ombak Villa Langkawi to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable stay in Langkawi.

We had mixed feelings about this resort. The beach wasn’t bad, the rooms and hotel seems to be a little old and after our opinion is a bit overrated. You do not even get free daily water and charges 10 RM for filtered water. The pool had a lot of sharp corners / tiles. The breakfast wasn’t that good. Olè Cafe has much better food or across the road / in front of the hotel there were better options for breakfast. No activities was scheduled like water sports / beach volley etc. some (not all) of the staff wasn’t smiling and we felt like was not happy to serve us.

Dash Resort in Langkawi was very cool hotel but they charge me 150 MYR for Early checkin this is not good just. Otherwise hotel & location was good the weather in Langkawi also very good.

Pros: 1. **Location:** Conveniently situated between Langkawi Airport and Cenang Beach, just over a 10-minute taxi ride from the airport. 2. **View:** Offers sea views (though not directly beachfront). 3. **Architecture:** The hotel's exterior resembles a cruise ship, and the lobby has an Islamic-inspired design. 4. **Staff:** The front desk staff are friendly and enthusiastic. 5. **Elevators:** Four elevators make getting around very convenient. 6. **Corridors:** The hallways feature a traditional Southeast Asian architectural style. 7. **Rooms:** Spacious rooms with partial sea views. 8. **Breakfast:** Wide variety of choices including Western, Chinese, and Malay options. 9. **Pools:** Located on the second floor, there's an outdoor swimming pool, an infant pool, a regular pool, and a dedicated pool for Muslim women. You can also order food to be delivered poolside. The changing rooms are very large. 10. **Shuttle Service:** Free scheduled shuttle bus service to the night market and Eagle Square. 11. **Luggage Storage:** Luggage storage is available. 12. **Nearby Dining:** There's a restaurant with a pool next door, which has a nice ambiance. Across the road, there's a Thai restaurant run by Chinese owners, offering good value for money. Areas for Improvement: 1. **Condition:** The corridors and rooms are a bit dated. 2. **Air Conditioning:** Some rooms have central AC, others have wall-mounted units. In some cases, the wall-mounted units didn't blow air, and we had to clean the filters ourselves, which were very dirty. 3. **Bathroom:** The bathroom lacks a modern feel. 4. **Breakfast Quality:** The breakfast quality isn't very high and also feels dated.

A very calm and quiet environment with very wide range breakfast in the morning. The gotel staffs are sober and well behaved. The room service is tremendously good. The location of the hotel is ideal if you dine in the hotel. Otherwise the restaurant are 5/10 minutes walk. The rooftop restaurant is really cool and superb. Surrounding of the hotel is marvellous.

My stay at frangipani was better than what I expected. The resorts location is ideal for island vacation, perfect blend of untouched beach and resorts ecosystem is extraordinary. The staff is very helpful, polite and attentive. I found my room was very clean plus house keeping was to the point. The swimming pools are maintained well. All in all I would say its a perfect place to stay for couples and families. I would come back here again.

Traveling with a friend, we only stayed one night, but the hotel experience left a deep impression on us. A big thank you to the lady at the front desk who checked us in; she was smiling and attentive throughout. As we had to wait for our room, she offered us two drink vouchers, which was a lovely gesture and really made an impression. The hotel room was very spacious, and the pool in the lobby was quite clean. The location is also excellent, just a 200 to 300-meter walk from Cenang Beach, with plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby.

I booked this hotel for an early flight the next day. I stayed in a family suite on the 5th floor. I don't know about other floors, but as soon as you step out of the elevator on the 5th floor, there's a very strong, unpleasant smell, like something rotting at a street stall. The room was very spacious, which was a plus, but the towels and showerhead were really subpar. Breakfast was also just mediocre, and it's quite far from other attractions. If it weren't for catching a flight, I definitely wouldn't recommend staying here. The value for money is very low.
