We spent 5 nights there in mid May.
Booked directly with resort, mainly based on recommendations here.
Hotel (it's not really a resort) is well located if you are after a quiet time. Hotel is very small, lovely grounds, reminded us of Bali. The breakfast overlooking the beach is absolutely divine. Like others said, it is limited to eggs to your liking, bread/toast with jam/marmalade, tea/coffee & selection of fruit. Basic, but adequate.
Staff is extremely nice & very helpful.
Unfortunately, our room (98) was a big disappointment.
After reading all the positive reviews & seeing all those nice pictures of the rooms, when we entered ours our hearts sank.
The room was very old looking & smelt mouldy.
The furniture was old; few of the lamps/power cords were very crudely repaired with electrical tape (beware if going with kids). The fridge was also mouldy & smelt bad. Locking chain on the door was broken & you had to lock the door to close it.
Ceiling looked like it was ready to collapse.
There were only usable 2 power points available, located behind TV, both used, so you had to unplug something to, say, charge batteries or boil some hot water.
Bathroom was NOTHING like in any pictures we saw. Shower with old/chipped tiles, no shower curtain, water running to only waste in the floor through the hole in vanity side.
Vanity was tiny – barely enough room for basic toiletries. Mirror above vanity had wooden bits missing. Black mould everywhere – whole bathroom looked filthy.
Worst of all there was no window or any ventilation. So after doing “number 2” we had to resort to lighting matches & spraying air freshener to kill the smells. It didn’t work too well…
Overall, we had fantastic time in Langkawi. Sunset Beach Resort was lovely, staff excellent, but room 98 a great disappointment .
Would go there again, but would have to check the room first.
