The Sheraton Perdana

As a tropical resort island, Langkawi of course has no shortage of resort hotels for you to choose from. The island's many small bays and coves means that almost every hotel has a beach to itself. However, it's worth noting here that all beaches in Malaysia are public. No matter how swank the resort, anybody can use their beach.

The island's sights and nightlife, such as they are, are so spread out that there doesn't seem to be a 'best' location. Some resorts are more isolated than others, but even some of the closer-to-town locations can seem like they are in the middle of nowhere.

The Westin Langkawi

The main swimming pool with the hotel lobby in the background.   The The Westin (it was a Sheraton when I stayed there) Perdana was a very pleasant surprise. Located just about five minute's walk from the busy ferry terminal, we were expecting a more 'citified' hotel. But the Westin was a world unto itself, separated from the rest of Kuah - which is not exactly a bustling town in any case - by a small hill.
