Where to stay in Langkawi?

Usually people visiting Langkawi do have a confusion regarding the location of stay. Here is brief information about the locations.

There are three main locations where usually people stay during their visit to Langkawi.

Kuah:Location near to the boat jetty. The accommodation in this area is comparatively cheap. However this will not be an ideal location for those who love beaches. You need to hire a taxi or need to have your conveyance to reach other location. The taxi may cost minimum 24 RM to any other site. More over this location is very far from the Air port also.

 

Pantai  Cenang:This is the most ideal location for a pleasant stay. A lot of hotels (from budget to splurge) and restaurants are available nearby. It is more or less near to the airport also. It is centrally located to most of the attractions. You may find a wide variety of hotels of your choice which is close to the beach. From the boat jetty (Kuah) it may take RM 20 - 24 to reach this location. From Airport the taxi charge is RM 15-20.

3)     Pantai Tengah:

This place is near to the Pantai Cenang and is said to be a good location. I don't have much idea about this location as I have selected Pantai Cenang and found to be the most comfortable location in terms of accommodation as well as eating.

AB Motel Langkawi

AB motel is budget chalet located in a very strategic location called Pantai Cenang, in Langkawi. 

The motel is located in two portions i.e one near the sea shore and the other one near the road. Both the buildings are facing each other. The charges also vary depending upon the location you select i.e the roadside and the beach side.

There are different types of rooms such as sea view,  beach side, road side etc. and the price ranges from RM 60 to RM 150. Rooms are air conditioned, spacious and comparatively well maintained. For those who are OK with a budget hotel, this one is really nice. Do not expect any kind of luxury at this place. Break fast is not provided. However one restaurant is available in the ground floor.

If you take the beach side portion, you can have the sea view from the room of the motel corridor itself. A lot of entertainments such as paragliding, banana boat etc. is also available in the beach adjacent to the motel. Hotel staff is also good in dealing with customers. If you book a double bed room (RM 120) with double bed it can accommodate 4 people easily.

The interesting thing is that the hotel is almost full every time, especially on weekends and public holidays. I had to book one month in advance to get a room. Then also i didn't get any rooms in the ground floor.

Another feature is that there is a travel house (named as Your Travel house) just in-front of the motel (can be seen in Pic 2). This is a good travel place to book various sight seeing programs. The price and duration of the activity is reasonable.
