The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa

We stayed here for 13 nights in January, we booked a deluxe patio room and although the room and patio were very nice it did feel like we were underground as the view was a stone wall with trees above (see pic 1) After 3 nights we decided to ask about moving to a room with a view, at first the hotel wanted RM200 per night and after setteling on RM100 per night we were shown to a very nice, large room on the ground floor with a partial sea view (see pic 2). We liked the room but it had a rather damp smell to it and so the hotel... more

Spent a fantstic 6 nights in a deluxe panoramic ocean view room. The hotel has just recently been re-branded as a Westin following complete renovations. The reception is beautifully furnished and decorated and check in was quick and easy. The room was a reasonable size with nice balcony and had a very contemporary design which good sized bathroom and a large plazma TV. The heavenly bed and heavenly shower were superb. The main bar is excellent, beautifully designed with fantastic views across the bay. Drinks are failry... more

Stayed in one of their deluxe garden view rooms in Jan 2007 for 2 nights. Took a taxi from the Langkawi airport for RM 24 whereas Westin was charging us 80 for the pick-up. Airport to Westin took about 40 minutes. Check-in was quite quick and smooth and we were given some sort of weird tasting welcome drinks on arrival. Very contemporary room with excellent bathroom (separate shower and bath tub) done in a beige colored tiles. Huge plasma TV in the room was awesome. The buffet b'fast served at the Taste restaurant included in our room rate... more

Loved the Westin. Was upgraded to a suite with a panoramic ocean view. Rooms/bathrooms were amazing. Service was excellent. Spa was heavenly. Beach not the greatest, but that's for most beaches in Langkawi. The Taste restauant was delicious. For anyone going to Langkawi...The Loaf Restaurant in Telaga Harbour Park is a must. By far one of the best restaurants on the island!! Can't wait to go back and stay at the Westin!!

We stayed for 10 days in the Westin (end Dec - begin Jan). The hotel location, the building, rooms, the decoration was all great. The location is close to town (Kuah) and has some good restaurants nearby. The rooms and general areas all very nicely decorated. Our criticism would go to the fact that a lot of the service was reactive. The staff wouldn't fix issue themselves but if you asked, it was done immediately. Like getting new laundry bags or coffee/tea when you ran out of it, you had to ask. They did not replenish... more

My partner and I stayed at the Westin just prior to its relaunch in December. Having stayed at numerous 5* hotels in the last couple of months the Westin exceeded all our expectations and was flawless. Checkin was quick, efficient and very curteous in the contempary new lobby area. We were then escorted to our ocean view room which was furnished to a very high standard with huge 42" plasma screen, the heavenly bed, shower, bath etc. Real thought had been given to the room layout and the attention to detail throughout the room and the hotel... more

The hotel is newly refurbished and certainly has the wow factor. We travelled the island and saw other hotels - we remained very pleased with our own choice. The sea was not as clear as one would perhaps expect for that part of the world - nevertheless it was acceptable. Sevice is good and the breakfast remains one of the very best - a wonderful experience

We arrived on the evening of the 19th December - day of the opening ceremony. Tip - get a taxi at the airport. It'll cost MR24 rather than MR80 charged by the hotel. The check in went smoothly. The guest services rep explained that we were in an Ocean view room which I'd booked 6 weeks ago. I asked the rep if the Westin party was still happening but was told that we'd missed it. We weren't shown to our rooms which was tricky as the wing hadn't been fully refurbished. Luckily we bumped into our luggage attendant who told us our... more

We have just returned from a holiday in Langkawi and stayed at Westin Langkawi..and in summary - it was superb! We made hotel reservations via Starwood website to Sheraton Perdana a.k.a Westin with it being close to Kuah town, easier for shopping, food and away from incase of tsunami et al.. boy were we thrilled with what we got ourselves into...we enjoyed the room facilities of a Westin with 'old' Sheraton rates!! each room is splurged with a 42in plasma tv, rain shower and very tastefully decorated - minimalist modern... more

This Hotel is being upgraded to be a part of the WESTIN chain , the official openning will take place in late decemeber . me and my wife stayed there in November 2006 , due to the renovations that are taking place in the Hotel ( which are not disturbing ) they offered us a free luxurious dinner every night ...how about that !!! The room is amazing , bathroom is clean and cozy ...... and the location of the hotel is just 10 mins walking distance from the main town in langkawi which is KUAH . All in all ........recommended
