Awana Langkawi
I have stayed at the Awana on many visits to the island and have always rated the hotel however on ths visit I was a little disappointed as the room I upgraded to (at a cost of course) was not as good as the previous rooms I had stayed in. There was no bath, only a shower and the hand/face washing facility was in the same room as the bed and kitchen area. The toilet was very cramped and difficult to close the door. Strange how housekeeping put bath foam in the room when as mentioned there was no bath ? The coffee and whitener were probably the cheapest and most distasteful that money could buy but better than the previous 3 in 1 packets. The television reception was poor and the screen was full of small dots making viewing a problem and the sets were old style and not flat screen - so they must be at least 8 years old ! The room service menu was overpriced but the food quality and variety at breakfast was excellent if somewhat cool or downright cold at times if you did not get the straight from the cooker/oven selection and on 2 of the 3 days the potatoes were quite hard and not fully cooked - but generally other food was well presented and edible. Very attractive views across the sea and the swimming pool was good too. Staff very friendly and helpful but the internet charges are expensive so use a local internet cafe for half the price.

The sea view rooms have an outstanding view. Great location. Very close to the Pantai Cenang area. Very good hotel for families. The pool area was excellent for kids. The daily breaksfast was very good as well with good variety. All in all very good value for money.

Nice Hotel with Awesome View.. !!
The sea view was great in Awana Porto Malai Hotel! Is a must to get the Sea View Room.... Awesome. The swimming pool is well maintain, kids will sure love it.
Is a bit of walking distance to reach the commercial place for food & shopping. Recommend to get a car rental to tour around. Is easy to look for all the tourist areas.
Room wise was Ok.. Nice & Clean.
Breakfast serve was Ok...too..!!
Overall Nice Hotel, Nice stay... !!

nice stay
Its lovely, the view, the restaurants, the entertainment. Only they shud improve on the room furnishing and cleanliness as its a bit old looking and the carpet is quite smelly. On the whole we love the experience and the swimming pool is perfect for kids.

First the good points, then what could have been better.
Beautiful resort! Absolutely pretty, in terms of its location and the general "feel" upon reaching it and staying there for 2 nights. The deluxe sea view room was certainly as advertised, facing the Straits of Malacca with a very good view. The swimming pool was well-maintained though it's more of the kind for lounging and casual swims. The location of the resort was rather exclusive, being at the end of the road, and that made it feel like a perfect getaway but not inconvenient to reach. Being next to the jetty was a plus point to take trips out to island hop, through a convenient booking at the activities centre.
Very friendly and approachable staff. It was also very convenient to call a taxi to get around the island as the drivers were always on standby (Only did so in the day and did not try to call one at night, and also to preface that Langkawi has no form of public transport so the only way to get around fast is to drive or to hail taxis).
Now for the not-so-good...
I forgot to print my AsiaRooms confirmation and while the resort had my details and booking, the counter staff insisted I pay for a half-hour internet service to forward my confirmation e-mail to her for printing, as verification. The resort could have been more flexible on this part, by perhaps checking the identity of the traveller through his/her travel documents.
The private beach as advertised by the resort was not very well-maintained. I would advise to skip it for other agenda.
Overall a very enjoyable stay and I would certainly recommend it to others.

Awana Porto
Stayed in a sea view room and the scenery was excellent. Able to catch sunrise if sky is clear. Cons: maintenance of room could be better - eg bathroom wall needed paint touch up and walls between rooms were quite porus - we were able to hear pple talking in adjacent rooms, which disturbed our sleep quality. Location of hotel is acceptable as taxi is readily available. Hotel service was not bad... Compliments to siti who changed our room cos it was too noisy on our 1st nite where room was above the lounge. Overall ok stay...

Negatives: Tooooooo far off from every tourist attraction - Everything required at least an MYR 20 one way taxi. Rooms are tooooooo spread out in the complex, mine was some 4 min. walk in a semi-lit corridoor from the entrance. Villa Rossi, the Italian restaurant was closed on most days of my 3n/4d stay. Hotel water sports & excursions were highly priced compared to the market or to a 3-star facility. Limited breakfast menu. Limited room service menu, which too was only till midnight. The hotel claims to be a beach resort, bu PLEASE NOTE IT HAS NO BEACH!! The closest is a public beach - Cenang (takes a 10 min. drive, MYR10). No place closeby to walk around, since it is in a very deserted, secluded location. The hotel room bath had a non-functional soap dispenser for bathing! PAINFUL to use. Had to make do with the coin-sized soaps provided. Positives: Amazing views from the room/balcony. Nice port destination. Proximity to pregnant maiden islands. Secluded destination, may excite some honeymooners but without a beach.

Views from room is amanzing! You can see the whole seaviews and colourful corridors. Bacony is lovely and relaxing in deluxe seaview room. The corridor is great especially at dawn and night time. Photo-shooting can't be missed. The location is ok. It's quite close to the airport and the Cenang beach area which has numbers of seafood restaurants. Not too crowded. It's isolated by a small hill which makes it quiet! There are plenty of places for carparking. One thing disappoint me is the room service. The workers are not able to speak nor listen to English. Can't believe it happens in such a big and grand hotel. But the front desks are nice. Overall, it's worth to stay again!
