I stayed at the Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa during a trip to Malaysia where I attend a destination wedding. It was my first time in Malaysia and didn’t know to expect from an hotel in Malaysia. Nevertheless I knew the “Westin” name had a lot of prestige associated with it. I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights and below is my visual diary/review of the hotel. Read to the end for an HONEST review of this hotel.
THE ROOM
THE VIEW FROM THE ROOM’S BALCONY
I choose a garden room view
THE POOL
The hotel has two pools (a baby/kids pool and an adult pool with a pool bar). 5* for the blueberry mojitos and for their famous coconut cocktail
Your truly posing with the gorgeous backdrop
A wide menu with both continental and asian options
THE SPA
I didn’t have any time to try out the spa so I can’t comment on the service but it was certainly beautiful spa area
LOBBY GOALS
VIEW POINTS
THE PREMIUM ROOM (garden view): I loved the beautiful modern style room with a separate bath, toilet and shower.
THE BREAKFAST: A mixture of continental and asian food. Unlimited Champagne bellinis for breakfast says it all.
THE FACILITIES: The pool was divine. I loved the decor of the hotel. There was a gym and spa on site which was great. The resort was home to the LCC (The Langkawi Convention Centre) which is great for hosting the many events that was held for the destination wedding.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE: The walk to my room was a little far and particularly irritating when my key wouldn’t work as I had to walk all the way back to the reception to get it reactivated. Perhaps request a room closer to the lobby when booking. In all fairness though, given we were a big party attending the wedding, they probably felt it made sense to locate us where our noise making wouldn’t be a problem
Overall I loved the hotel and would recommend it for those who were visiting Langkawi. The hotel concierge and staff were extremely helpful and polite.
