Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa, Langkawi

The most perfect stay and value for money. Every single member of staff was kind and helpful and willing to go the extra mile to help you out. So far as to remembering what you told them in a previous conversation and following up the following day. The rooms are beautifully laid out and spacious with a bigger than average bathroom that is well equipped with all the necessary amenities. I am very particular with smells, and this place did not have any. There was a large balcony with seating perfect for admiring the views and occasional thunderstorms as they roll in and out. The grounds were immaculately presented. As far as I could see on any menu, there is no pork served in any of the menus. Breakfast was delicious with variety in number and cuisines, including an amazing pho station. As well as continental breakfasts, there was always a selection of malaysian/indian/Chinese cuisines to pick from, each of which was delicious. If you are someone with a sensitive stomach and do not fancy street food, the food served in the restaurants in the hotel, while pricier than what you'd find outside, was delicious and well presented. Cenang mall is a 5 min cab drive away, which has fast food restaurants, and the strip itself has plenty of food options. If you're looking for a laundry place for non expensive items like t shirts, pajamas underwear etc, there is a launderette a 5 mins walk from the resort called Sufia Laundry, great value for money and the ladies do an excellent job. In terms of activities, the tour desk offer you great options. They may be slightly pricier than using a vendor outside the hotel, they are helpful in planning your itinerary. I do suggest however booking jet skiing or parasailing outside the hotel. Walk down the beach from the resort and you'll have many cheaper options within minutes of the hotel, no need to for pickups or drop offs. After all this is also where the hotel-booked activities take place.
