Geopark Hotel Oriental Village Langkawi Reviews

Underwhelmed - seriously! Guest Rating: 2.0

I thought the choice of hte Geopark would be great as it would provide an offbeat type of hotel. However, from start to end, I was disappointed. There was no clear signage for the hotel, only the park. The gates were closed and you had to ask before they opened them for you. The staff was not friendly or helpful at the check-in. They don't care whether you come by car, whether you need assistance with luggage, etc. They don't even tell you that everything closes around 6 pm and you have to drive out for your dinner. Aside from the cable car ride, there is absolutely nothing else to see or do and your room is cramped! So better to choose a real hotel than this!

• Restaurant Tip : Blu Marine - the Italian eatery is brilliant. It is located in a yachting marina along with a row of other restaurants fronting the sea. At the back are some local businesses and it has an adequate wine list to boot!

I would go there again Guest Rating: 3.2

We (two persons) were picked up from the airport for 20 Ringgit, but we had the airport tourist information call them to remind them of picking us up. I would recommend that, that way you will be picked up the fastest. And the ladies at the tourist information are very helpful in general! The location of the hotel turned out to be just fine. The beach is nice and quiet and you are not in the middle of Pentai Cenang which we would have found extremely annoying and too crowded.

• Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Rent a motorbike to get a feel for the real life of the locals life - its cheap and easy and a lot of fun, there is not much traffic.
