Romantic Hotels in Kedah, Malaysia

The hotel itself is well located and has a certain charm. The furniture is quite old, but in a way it adds character to the place. The staff we interacted with were generally kind and polite. However, we had a very upsetting experience with the Ramadan buffet restaurant. We arrived at the hotel around 6:00 PM after a long day of travel with two flights (Phuket to Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi). My mother had been fasting all day for Ramadan and had not eaten or drunk anything. When we saw that the restaurant was preparing the Ramadan buffet, my mother sat down hoping to break her fast there. Unfortunately we were refused and told that reservations had to be made one day in advance. This was very surprising for us, as we had just arrived in the country and could not possibly have reserved the day before. We were directed to another nearby restaurant, but after waiting more than one hour we still had not received any food. During that time my mother — who had been fasting all day — still had nothing to eat, and my two-year-old child was crying because he was hungry. In the end, my mother was only able to eat about two hours after the time of breaking the fast. Aside from this very difficult experience, the hotel itself is pleasant and the staff are friendly. However, I hope the management will consider being more flexible and understanding in situations like this, especially for guests observing Ramadan and families traveling with young children.

Best beach view but like the rest of Langkawi it’s just missing a few things. The family pool is sensational…but it’s pebblecrete, so it’ll tear up feet if you’re in there doing anything active. The pool bar opens at midday, so it’s definitely not set for early swimmers who might want a juice and snack. No lifeguard and almost no kids pool area. The pool was 1.1 to 1.5m deep so not toddler friendly. The rooms were great but limited lift access so a nice 3rd floor view has three flights of stairs. They have a reading room, which is a nice, air-conditioned lounge, but it only opens at 11am. The main restaurant has… average food. It’s not what you’d hope. They have the Chefs Table Restaurant wich was more expensive but actually had good food. It was hot in there though. We went in end of March and it was 32/32 degrees every day. Overall it’s a nice place and close to the mangrove tours but it just falls short of being really good. But that’s pretty much all of Langkawi. Staff were really nice.

After such a long time away from the beautiful island of Langkawi, I was truly excited for this trip. After reading many online reviews, I decided to stay at Best Star Resort, hoping for a relaxing and memorable experience. Sadly, the reality did not match the expectations. First impression matters — and unfortunately, the hotel lobby was extremely hot upon arrival. The only positive part was that we managed to check in 30 minutes early, which we appreciated very much because we were already exhausted after taking the 7AM ferry, renting a car, driving around the island, and getting caught in the rain. However, once we entered the room, problems immediately started appearing. The room door was in very poor condition and extremely difficult to open. I actually had to walk around searching for housekeeping staff just to help me unlock the door. After finally entering, I noticed there were no towels or even a leg mat provided in the room. Once again, I had to go out and hunt for housekeeping just to get basic necessities. The second day became even more frustrating. There is a restaurant beside the room area, and the noise level early in the morning was unbelievable. The sound of shutters opening, combined with the loud crows outside, completely destroyed our sleep. To make things worse, the window could not even close properly, allowing all the noise to enter the room easily. I cannot speak for other rooms, but based on my experience, this stay was disappointing and far below what I expected. Even the breakfast did not feel up to Malaysian hospitality standards. Malaysia is famous for amazing food, but sadly the hotel management really needs to improve the quality and taste. This trip taught me one important lesson — next time I must be more careful when choosing hotels, no matter how good the online reviews look.

It is a great experience to stay at the Hotel for 3 nights. The food was very good during breakfast and the cafe on the roof top is fantastic with very good food, beautiful views and friendly staff. Not to forget the Infinity Swimming Pool.

The staff here are incredibly welcoming. There's also a car rental company on the ground floor of the hotel, which is super convenient. The hotel facilities are very new, and there's a pool at the back. Plus, each guest gets a complimentary drink upon check-in, with various options to choose from. The only, and I mean *only*, downside is that you can hear cars 'street racing' at night, which is an issue with all hotels in this area, even late at night. There's really nothing to be done about it. I've stayed at many great hotels in Langkawi, but this street racing noise is something that can't be changed.

Everything was great except the room. First room was full of bugs, second room the same. They then offered a room for those disabled. It was out dated and dirty. After 4 times, I gave up and just took the room they gave at the end. They even offered me a lakeside room but as soon as I walked in I saw 3 mosquitos. It’s not a 5 star hotel (or not the standards I have stayed previously). Even the ac was dirty, the room needs a paint job, bathroom needs touch ups. It’s a 4 star hotel. The staff, amenities and location are great.  It is a good hotel just don’t have you expectations for a quiet clean room.

⭐️ (Strongly Not Recommended) My stay at A Coral Reefs Resort from 21–23 March started off acceptable, but what happened after check-out was deeply disappointing and raises serious concerns about the hotel’s professionalism and integrity. After I had already left the property and arrived at the airport, I received a call accusing me of being involved in a missing RM1200 reported by three foreign guests. This accusation was based solely on a vague CCTV clip showing me sitting in the lobby and putting something into my pocket. Let me be absolutely clear: such an allegation, made without concrete evidence, is irresponsible and unacceptable. The hotel’s account of the incident was inconsistent and unreliable. I was first told the money was left on a table, and later it was claimed to be inside a pair of pants. The inability to establish even the most basic facts seriously calls into question the credibility of the entire claim. Even more concerning is the timeline. If the alleged incident took place on 21 March, why was I only contacted on 23 March, after I had already checked out and reached the airport? This delay reflects either poor internal handling or a lack of proper investigation. The CCTV clip provided was incomplete and unclear. It merely shows me placing my own personal belongings (my phone and medicated oil) into my pocket. There is absolutely no evidence that I handled or took any cash. Relying on such selective and inconclusive footage to imply wrongdoing is not only unprofessional, but also unfairly damaging to a guest’s reputation. We have formally requested the full CCTV footage to ensure transparency and proper verification of facts. Failure to provide complete and unedited recordings will only further undermine the credibility of this accusation. If this matter is not handled appropriately, we will not hesitate to escalate it through formal complaint channels. Guests should be aware that without clear evidence, this establishment is willing to cast suspicion based on assumptions rather than facts.

The stay at Bayview Hotel was pleasant and the service was good. Hotel is located close to pier and jetties, banks, and shopping malls. Complimentary breakfast would have been better with some more varieties. Salt was less in Indian dishes served. Hotel's lobby and tour desk personnel were courteous. Overall stay was good and I highly recommend it for Indian travelers.

you can use wifi at the lobby. Also, if you want to take a warm shower, make sure to turn on a red switch!

This is a beautiful resort with three swimming pools, including one specifically for children, and they provide plenty of balls and swimming rings. It's located on Cenang Beach and Central Beach, which boasts a long coastline perfect for swimming. There are many restaurants nearby, including one that's particularly delicious and serves generous portions. A convenience store and swimwear shop are just a ten-minute walk away. There's also a shopping mall about a thirty-minute walk, making it a very lively area with various travel agencies and car rental services. The hotel is very environmentally friendly, providing water in glass bottles.
