Thanks Vkeong for the reply. The beach does look sooo nice on the photos and the sea doesnt look too rough, juz wondering if would encounter the odd jellyfish wen going for a dip. Heee!

Cheers.

vk: You’re welcome, enjoy your Langkawi Trip.. I sure did enjoy mine And I don’t think there’s any jellyfish in Langkawi’s waters.. can’t say the same about Penang’s waters though lol!

Hi vkeong,

Could u give an opinion if the sea by pantai cenang/tengah is swimmable? Most budget hotels here do not have pools. Thanks

vk: Vivien, the sea is swimmable, no worries. It’s not too dirty too. Well that’s what I thought when I went 2 years ago If you want a nicer beach, you can head to Pelangi Beach Resort (also along Pantai Cenang).. sneak in there and use their pool or beach.. I did that lol..

hi vkeong,
dis coming friday i n my fren (9ppl) is staying at tanjung malie beach motel. but, the problem for us, is how to get a van for 9 ppl (coz v all looking for fair rate).
hope that u can recommand us.
your cooperated is highly appreciated.

Hi Lee, sorry I don’t have any idea for cheap van to rent.. you could probably decide at the jetty before going on board the ferry. There will be agents there giving flyers for car rental.. you’d can negotiate there

@Chelsea: Langkawi is very safe and Pantai Cenang (Cenang Beach) is very crowded in the day or night. So I think you will do fine there. Tanjung Malie motel IMO is clean and quite comfy, and the owner is a friendly person. You can ask him to organize island hopping trips. For food, there’s plenty of it along Cenang Beach.. it’s easier to access them if you rent a car. And for beach.. once you step out of Tanjung Malie, it’s the beach already! If you want to see nicer beach, you could go to Pelangi Beach Resort, it’s only 10 minutes away. I am sure they will let you in

I also cannot access it frm here. But, i can access it from fp homepage though. Maybe i put wrong address previously. I just copy ad paste it this time. You can try again. But I warn you, mine fp is not very interesting.

mimisadina - Actually the island hopping tour is not being organized by Tanjung Malie Beach Motel, they are just a middle man to help you book the tour. Anyway, they do provide life jacket and it is very safe traveling on the boat (it’s a speedboat) However I feel you still need to be careful of your kids because the sea get a bit wavy at times, I saw some kids can get a bit daring and stand on the sides.. kinda dangerous I think.

Enjoy your trip!
