爱自由，爱旅游..Love Life, Love Travel..: [浮罗交怡] 第一天： Telaga Habour Park > Oriental Village > Langkawi Cable Car > Langkawi Sky Bridge > Seven Wells Waterfall > Malibest Resort > Cenang Beach

Tour started with booking flight via airasia website during ZERO fare promotion period. I booked at the price of RM38/person for KL>Langkawi>KL flight on 16 February 2012. After that, I started gathered information from Cari forum, lowyat and other websites as well. Below maps that might be useful for you during the tour:

As the time pass fast, now it was the time we enjoyed our 4D3N in Langkawi. At first, we all gathered at KL on 29 Oct before departed to Langkawi next early morning. We departed on 30 October 2012 at 7:30 am and arrived approximately 8:30 am at Langkawi Airport.

Langkawi Airport

After we arrived at airport, we directly went to car rental booth as we didn't checked in our baggage to minimize our tour budget. Lee and me managed to get the cheaper price with comfortable car after we went through many car rental booths. Before this, I had search a lot in Cari forum to avoid being cheated. Initially, we wanted to rent a Toyota Advanza for 6 persons but after discussion, we managed to rent a Nissan Serena from Indra Travel and Tour (Haniza Manshor, 012-5714382) because it was wider and comfortable than Toyata Advanza. She was quite nice and also recommended by most people in Cari forum. Nissan Serena cost us RM300 plus RM50 deposit from 30 Oct 2012 9am until 2 Nov 2012 2p.m. For us, the rent car price was still acceptable. As for your information, we need to pay all the money including deposit in order to get the car and the deposit would refund back after you had returned the car.

Note: Directly rent a car in airport is cheaper than booking online!

Remember: rent a car that got permit/must have safety belt/take photo for any crash/see car first before rent.

We checked the car before we paid the money

After got the car, we directly drove the car to nearby petrol station and pumped RM30 of Ron 95 before headed The Loaf where we had our breakfast for the first day. Total car petrol cost used for 4D3N in Langkawi was RM60.

Malibest Resort

At about 5pm, we changed our clothes and drove toward our resort for check in. It was situated at Pantai Cenang. I booked the resort on 11 Oct 2012 which cost us RM170/night for Standard Superior Room [2 Queen Beds for 4 persons] not inclusive breakfast and stayed on 30 Oct 2012. It was located by the beach without sea facing and double storey building. Additional mattress will be charged RM20 nett each. Overall, the room we stayed quite far from administration and bathing heater not function and caused us getting cold during bathing in the morning.The other stuffs were ok.
Note: You need to pay deposit of RM50 for getting the key card and they would refund back to you after check out.

Pantai Cenang

At about 5:30pm, we checked in the resort and took a rest. After that, walking around Cenang Beach and simply watch sunset at Pantai Cenang. You also can do water sports, lounge on deck chairs. For me, I preferred resort or motel which is located by beach side.

Orkid Ria Seafood Restaurant (真浪花园海鲜餐馆)

We dined at this restaurant for the first night and it was also recommend by Cari forum. The seafood is fresh but quite pricey if compared with Kuah Town. Hmm..The food taste so great because I thought they put a lot of MSG or Maggie powder. The dinner cost us RM171. Business Hour: 11.00am - 3.00pm and 6.00pm - 11.00pm. Address: Lot 1225, Jalan Pantai Cenang, 07000 Pulau Langkawi, Kedah D.A. Tel: 604-955 4128.
