25/06/2010 - 02/07/2010 3 persons 8 days / 7 nights cost - 750 USD per person I will support those who think that the Westin does not live up to the real 5 stars. Of course, it is the coolest of all the hotels in Langkawi, but it is unrealistic to fool our people there. 1/ We booked on the Sheraton website - they cheated with a breakfast, which, as it turned out upon arrival, costs $ 28! 2) People, check the mini-bars - there should be an inscription on each of their jars - we didn’t check the hotel and paid 24 ringit extra - it’s not a tragedy, but it’s not nice that grandmothers do this on trifles - the staff slipped them without stickers - but we didn’t check upon arrival.

Somehow trusted a "5" star hotel.
3) on the first evening, having nothing to do, we went to look at the territory - in the children's pool - swim frogs, where the next day the kids frolicked very much with their mothers, sometimes choking on water where the day before there were frogs (maybe they laid their eggs).
There is another pool there with a fountain - there is generally a frog's lair - every night from there only frog songs were heard. Not a single tourist dived there.
4) BEACH - unreal horror - look for a beach in Langkawi not sandy but with pebbles. I have never seen such a nasty beach and oily dirty water anywhere! If you want a real sea - then it's not in the Westin, they say there is 1 hotel in Langkawi but I don't remember the name.
5) SPA - very expensive - a half-hour walk (why it is not clear why) - it costs 30 ringit - we managed it ourselves - we walked without accompaniment.
6) Lobby staff - does not warn, That there is transport to "people" (Westin is almost the last, then the jungle) to the supermarket - Fair - they do not tell anyone, they lobby the interests of local taxi drivers,
7) all the additional attractions are quite new - but they call them so funny - the biggest in the world, te legend of langkawi, the greatest shop - hotels are very expensive. we traveled by ourselves.
The people are very kind. friendly, not pushy.
In principle, it is interesting, but the island, like the country in the whole, is dirty. Wash your hands constantly. to clean it with drinking water.

The name of The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa (formerly Sheraton Perdana) speaks for itself. The hotel is located, as it were, in a dead end of the eastern part of the island (on the back of the hotel, there are mountains overgrown with thickets and there is no passage). The hotel area is really large and green (104 acres of its own park in close proximity to the capital of Langkawi - the city of Kuahu - about 10 minutes on foot).

The name of The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa (formerly Sheraton Perdana) speaks for itself. The hotel is located, as it were, in a dead end of the eastern part of the island (on the back of the hotel, there are mountains overgrown with thickets and there is no passage). The hotel area is really large and green (104 acres of its own park in close proximity to the capital of Langkawi - the city of Kuahu - about 10 minutes on foot). I did not appreciate the kitchen at the hotel, because they took a package of accommodation without meals. Our room was a standard one (in a building), not a bungalow type, but spacious enough, with a shower cabin and a bathroom. On the balconies there are trestle beds, which contributes to a rather pleasant evening pastime. At 15 min. walk at a calm pace nah-sya the largest supermarket on the island "Billion" with a department of alcoholic beverages "duty free". I would like to note that the prices for alcohol on the island are pleasantly pleasing, unlike Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. On the way from the hotel to the center of Kuah nah-Xia Jetty point from where it is proposed to sail to the nearby cities of Malaysia, as well as to Thailand (Koh Samui, Phuket, Phi Phi, etc. ). Upon arrival at the airport, I recommend that you grab information about the island, and there you can also find information about nearby food outlets, which can not always be called the loud name "restaurant", most likely it is a snack bar. . . Prices in this kind of establishments are very different from the prices in hotel restaurants. There are 4 pools in the hotel: a rock pool (with a fountain in the center of the pool itself), a central pool (with a bar) and 2 children's pools. There are no children's slides and animations on site. The hotel beach is quite long, clean, there are no local people on it, only hotel guests. The sand on the beach is light golden, not snow-white, there are other hotels on the island with sand that differs in color and size. Conclusion: the hotel offered in Langkawi in its slightly above average price category (there are also more expensive ones: Datai, Tanjung Rhu Resort, Four Seasons) is quite good, large territory, large rooms, lack of people on the territory and on the beach, secluded, because . does not have a through passage, for a quiet, relaxing holiday and enjoyment from the constant incessant cod of cicadas and birdsong. Yes! On the territory of the hotel, in comparison with the Mutiara hotel, there are no wild monkeys and other creeping creatures walking around, of which there are quite a few on the island (we saw for ourselves). For a 5-day holiday - normal, then the hotel Casa del Mar was chosen (4 nights / 5 days).

It’s hard for me to judge whose fault it is, but the impressions of this hotel are the same: the price does not match the quality! This is our main impression, and from our entire trip to Malaysia. Of course, most likely, this is the fault of tour operators, their agents and various intermediaries who participate in the chain of "breeders" in the tourism business : -))) But we ourselves are to blame.

We all, tourists, think that the money we pay (and often a lot of money, if you count) will guarantee that everything will be done for us in the highest class. Often this is not the case at all. And there are lessons to be learned from this.
Okay, it's all water...
by hotel:
area is small
nothing to do (no sporting events)
mini club for children - no!
pools - two (and one of them is knee-deep : -))))
breakfast is good
bars are terribly expensive!
SPA - good
numbers - don't know
lived in a villa - the villas are chic, BUT ATTENTION:
only 5 villas are really with sea view.
Be sure to specify which line of the villa. sea-view or water-front
in this hotel sea-view - does not mean a real view of the sea, but it means - turned to the sea : -)))))
Funny!
but not quite when you paid about 20 thousand dollars for it!!!!
Someone would cry, but we laugh!
We have a sense of humor.
