Holiday Villa Beach Resort & Spa Langkawi  

Läget är fantastiskt, hotellet ligger vid stranden men har en stor vuxenpool och en fin barnpool inom det stora parkliknande, vackra området. Det var varmt I havet, ca 27 grader och kanske något mer svalkande I poolerna beroende på om solen hunnit värma upp vattnet. Vi, sju vuxna och två barn 3,5 och 1 år gamla, delade på tre stora rum varav två hade extrarum med matbord och soffgrupp. Alla rum hade anslutningsdörrar emellan inuti rummen som vi kunde ha låsta eller öppna, slapp att gå ut I korridoren för att knacka på. Alla sängar, även extrasängarna var sköna och lakansbyte varje dag om man inte sa att man inte önskade det. Roomservicen utnyttjades, och kostade inget extra, speciellt av barnfamiljen som var mer bundna till rummet då barnen behövde svalka och skulle ha eftermiddagsvila. Vi uppskattade alla poolbaren, restaurangen ovanför poolen, restaurangen/baren på stranden, att det nästan alltid fanns lediga solstolar och att man kunde få flera badhandukar per person. På fruksotbuffe´n fanns allt och alla restauranger serverade god mat. Personalen var mycket vänliga och tillmötesgående. Barnen blev mycket uppmärksammade och månade om.

Det första man ser när man kommer ner till stranden är en skylt där man varnar för maneter, detta gör att man drar sig för att bada I det sköna havet. Det var inte så många som badade. Vi såg inga maneter och badade varje dag. Ibland var vattnet grummligt pga sanduppblandning då det var tidvatten. Allt är dyrare än utanför hotellet, wifi kostar/timme. Frukosten är mycket dyr liksom restaurangerna inom hotellet. Precis utanför hotellet finns frukost till mycket lägre priser, på Cactus rakt över gatan (godare också!) och på Traffic ett tiotal meter längre bort serveras mkt god capuccini om man vill till frukosten. Desssutom finns där gratis wifi. Längs vägen finns många billiga restauranger som serverar mkt god mat. Ibland serveras inte öl (muslimer) men då får man ta med sig egeninköpt, så tillhandahåller de glas! Vi firade julafton på hotellet, betalade dyrt för mat (alkoholen fick vi köpa till)och konstig/dålig underhållning och var med om ngt som kan liknas vid en svensk kräftskiva utan kräftor men med blinkande tomteluvor på alla. Pga detta, och att vi tyckte att vi inte fick valuta för pengarna, valde vi att äta utanför hotellet på nyårskvällen men såg på fyrverkerier och lamptändning på stranden vid midnatt. Det var mycket hög ljudnivå båda kvällarna och innehållet I det som spelades och uppvisades var inte alltid njutbart. Så om man väljer att äta, gå på massage och wifiuppkoppla sig utanför hotellet så blir helheten perfekt.

Hotellet hade fint poolområde och en fantastisk strand. Det fanns flera bra restauranger i närheten och gångavstånd till centrum med ett ännu större utbud.

Läget var mycket fint på en vacker och lugn strand med begränsat utbud av vattensport, vilket tilltalar oss. Poolområdet var verkligen bra! Stort, vackert och med alla bekvämligheter.

Room was nice, beech was clean & not crowded. Food was not good & expensive. Go to the cactus restaurant?/shed opposite the main entrance of holiday villa. The food was excellent & reasonably priced. You must order the pancakes, there were gooood.

I had recently booked 2 Studio rooms as noted below via booking.com with credit card guarantee. Our nightmare started when we arrived at the hotel at 10 pm for check-in. We were told there are no rooms available at the hotel & they have never received any reservation via booking.com. After showing them my copy of reservation & offering to call booking.com, the reception changed their story & acknowledge that they did received the booking but it was canceled by booking.com. They rudely told me to go find another hotel because they cannot do anything about it. By this time it was 11:30 pm. On my insistence, they let me talked to the night manager on duty (who was off site) he mentioned that he cannot do anything at night as he was not at the hotel but will look into the mater in the morning. After talking to the manager the reception booked us on a shabby hotel down the road for the night. I was not the only person there with this problem, there were six individuals with confirmed booking who were not given the room while we were there. In the morning they called us & gave us the room charging me for the 4 nights stay (including the night that we were not given the room). I had to go back to the hotel next door & get a receipt from them to show that I had stayed & paid for it there. During the next 3 days I kept on inquiring as to what might have happened. One of the staff member told me that this was routine practice in high season. If a guest does not show up by 8 pm, they give the room to walk-ins & charge the reserved guest the no show fee for that night. If not illegal, this practice is certainly impolite.

The hotel itself is well maintained and the staff was curteous and friendly. I liked the rooms because they are spacious and most importantly, very clean... As for beachfront, it was in a beautiful setting as there was a small island not far from the beach, an excellent destination for kayaking.... If going to the beach isn't your cup of tea, the swimming pool is just a stone's throw away... Again, it's clean and well-maintained.

Well, this hotel is perfect for its price... Nothing to complain about.

The beach few

The food

Everything about the hotel is superb, this is my 2nd time there and I still looking forward to going there again. It made my holiday great, from the services to the clean rooms, the location is the best you can wish for, at night it is awesome. the beach is just at the back of the hotel which makes it more fun to get out of bed in the morning and walk up the beach. nice place and a must recommend..

Dated rooms, big hotel without much character and staff not very friendly and rooms very dated and simple considering the room rate.

The bungalo (furniture, equipment etc) was pretty old. The beach was good, but swimming was impossible due to jellyfish.

Nice swimming pool and located direct on the beach.

Our room could use some upgrading as most of the things (shower, walls, aircon, ) were run down. Some rooms have been upgraded but most not. Try to avoid a room on the long hall way, as at night & morning, it is noisy from all the human traffic.

The hotel location is good it is in canang beach, and it has a nice privet beach with. A nice bar and a perfect view

. Internet is so expensive. . The toilet does not look so good . The room was so noisy I felt like I was sleaping inside the bar. . The complimentary coffee and tea are just in the 1st day. . The slowest checkin I have ever done.

It's location is great and it has a private beach

Nothing is included in the price such as breakfast or internet...

the location is superb. the beach is clean, pool is clean. the room was cozy and spacious. staff were helpful. perfect spot for families, office family day functions, a getaway out of the bustling city. & i love how the hotel and langkawi itself make sures the state is clean. room service food was good too.

the price for the 4 day 3 night was a bit pricey considering it does not come with breakfast.
