Unspoiled location, beautiful setting, nice decor, good fitness centre. The Sheraton is immaculately maintained and located in a beautiful unspoiled setting. The rooms are spacious with large private veranda and tastefully decorated. However, it is quite isolated and you will need your own transport if you want to explore anything beyond the hotel itself. We hired a motorbike but had to walk about half an hour in the heat to find a hire shop. It was in a small village which has a few restaurants and a grocery store which is quite good for supplies. You will need them as the hotel shop and mini bar prices are very high! The property is very hilly (which may make walking difficult if you are not fit) although there is a complimentary buggy service.

location, small rocky beach. It was a nice place, but the location was pretty far from everything. This is a good place if you want to stay on the resort.

Attentive staff. Dinner buffet. Spa. Wildlife. Tranquil Location. Room was slightly run-down. We are a young couple who can honestly say that we had a fantastic time at the Sheraton Langkawi resort. The wildlife was definately a highlight for us. We had the "harmony" spa treatment together which was great and was really good value for money. We had the dinner buffet twice during our stay, the food was extremely fresh and a very good variety was available. We enjoyed watching the chef's cook our noodles and seafood.
The location is not so far from the airport and a short journey to the likes of the cable car at oriental village and to Harbour Park where there are several restaurants to enjoy a meal.
Restaurant Tip : Harbour Park was a RM18 taxi ride away (less than 10minutes) and you'll find a variety of eateries there and a plesant view of the marina

Sheraton Langkawi Resort has got to be the nicest resort you can get! We stayed in one of the partial view rooms which is very big! The bed is very very comfortable! The shower is nice with strong water flow and nice hot water! The toilet has a washing device, its very efficient and really works! The restaurant serves really nice buffet dinner and the Chimes nightclub has a nice band playing every night! its located in a nice quiet location but still close to the airport and only 20 mins from Cenang beach! Highly recommended!!

Beautiful setting in amoungst the rainforest with wildlife everywhere. Large and comfortable rooms. Great for families. Food was very overpriced at the hotel, for example a Carlsberg at the hotel cost 18RM, if you walk 200m down the road same beer cost 1.8RM. I would recommend the Sheraton Langkawi to anyone wanting a quiet and relaxing time. It consists of chalets set amongst the rainforest and there is wildlife everywhere. During our stay we saw countless dusky leaf monkeys, macaques, colugos (flying lemurs), monitor lizards, tree sherws, squirrels, hornbills and eagles. The rooms are very spacious. We had a superior room which did not have sea views, but did have a lovely outlook over the gardens from the large deck area. There is a large bedroom area with two double beds, a lounge, tv and desk plus a very large bathroom.
The main downside is the cost of food and beverages. I would recommend to anyone staying at the Sheraton to hire a car have meals outside the resort. The combined cost of hiring a car and the food would still be less than the cost of the food at the Sheraton. Taxis are fairly expensive (compared to the rest of Malaysia) and hirign a car gives you the freedom to do what you want with your time.
The pool area was fairly small but there was alawys plenty of lounges and never very many people in the pool at once. There was a small kids pool which was a great depth for my 4 year old, it meant he could swim when we felt like relaxing.
Overall I would definately recommend the Sheraton, especially to young families.
Restaurant Tip : Hire a car and drive to Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah for some of your meals. Takes between 15-20min. There is a great Malay rstaurant called Matahari Malay at Pantai Tengah. Set in beautiful gardens. We had a set menu of 12 dishes it cost 69RM for to and it was delicious, a great night out.

location, some rude staff It was great to be surrounded by monkeys, flying lemurs, and other animals. The room was nice. Some of the staff were quite arrogant, and the menu did not offer any decent vegetarian options and they were not flexible enough to cater for vegetarians or children (eg would not do nachos without beef etc). The beds are not actually queen sized. No decent beach if you are a beach lover.

The Sheraton Langkawi is a wonderful holiday destination. From check -in (served with a welcome drink) to check-out with a smile, our whole stay was superb. The pool is beautifully maintained and the pool bar is exceptional, both in cleanliness and service. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and make all of the guests really feel at home. No weaknesses - we were only a little disappointed that there weren't so many monkeys around the gardens of the hotel as in previous visits. Our 2 week stay at the Sheraton Langkawi was as good as our first holiday two years ago. The staff, services and facilities are all excellent and wonderfully maintained. The Kid's Club is great for children of all ages but our 5 year old especially enjoyed the afternoon activities with the friendly girls. A birthday celebration was accommodated well with a complimentary chocolate mudcake (delicious) at no extra trouble. The rooms are kept scrupulously clean and are serviced at times to suit your daily activities. The room service was so prompt that you just have time to walk from the phone to the door to collect it! This was our second visit to the Sheraton Langkawi and we returned to the island because of the service and great facilities.
Restaurant Tip : Restaurants are plentiful on Langkawi but we returned twice to "Sheela's". This is a beautiful garden restaurant on the road outside Cenang Beach. Great food, service and good prices too.

Great varieties breakfast, courteous staff, caring service, great room experience with my kids Too far away from main lobby, slow response from room service due to the distance from palces to places. Perhaps too far away from main town or those high activities area near underworld park. Good stay with my family of 2 kids, they simply enjoy the bath room, balcony and the roomy environment. The swimming pool and beach were great too, clean and condusive. The greatest of all was the breakfast, good care by staff, attentive, and many tasty foods wide varieties. It has also come with rustic experience in a rural living environment. Good stay

room facility is not so new. Generally speaking.I am satisfied with Sheration.The hotel facility near the beach is far better than the nearest beach side.say.kok beach.It worths\ to swim or jogging in the early morning near the seaside.

Quite nice resort but I would say it is aim at more senior people who are looking for relaxing vacation with no activities. No proper beach, only very sharp rocks.
No nice clear water. We have just stayed at Sheraton Langkawi for a week. It was rather disappointing week. The sea was very dirty as well as dirty beaches, only very sharp rocks on the beach and because you cannot see through the water we have ended up with cuts on our feets.
The resort itself is quite nice but it is in the middle of nowhere so unless you are real pool fan I would not recommend it.

I go to this hotel to relax and get off all work and life stress This is isolated hotel and it is hard to get to other area from here This hotel is located by the beach and is quite far from the street, yet, i love the area and the srounding green and peacfull woods animals makes you feel free and relaxed.
Also, good area place for honeymooners who wants private area.

quit area for relaxation. Nice food and good prices. Nice beach view Little far from other hotels and area and taxi can be hard This is my second time in this hotel and for someone looking to get off work and stress, this is the place to be. Enjoy and relax and enjoy the hotel area and facilitites.\n\nYou can have very quite time in this area and the service is good and food is offered with good prices. Yet, this hotel can be little far from attractions area and transportation could be hard.
Hotel Feature Tip : The beach is located in a forest area. nice

Immaculate and lovely from the first impression with a guarded gated entry to the lobby and rooms. Concierge very helpful with car rental, motor scooter rental and general info about the island. Wonderful swimming pool with fabulous view and great swim up bar. food was very nice. our rooms were up on a hillside. simply walking down to meals or swimming was ok until you came back having to go uphill. our view from the deck was noisy and not very nice. there was cart transportation, but one waited quite a bit sometimes for it. We will come here again. The food was presented very nicely and even the "in room" meals were lovely. The wait-staff very friendly. The rooms very well done and spacious. All in all this was a perfect family vacation spot except for being on a hill and having to trudge up and down every time we went to meals or the pool. The pool was exceptional! we had children who loved it! the beach water was a bit cloudy but interesting to walk along. The staff was very helpful in getting us scooters that toured the whole island and car rentals. very reasonable priced. The monkeys at sunrise were a treat to watch as they woke up and played.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Langkawi is growing and if unfamiliar with it then rent a car for a day and just sightsee. OR, rent a motor scooter and really get around to sight see. (people treat the scooters very respectfully on the roads and we always felt very safe). The town is not nearly as interesting as some of the out of the way places like the Kraft Komplex or Thai barn restaurant. An unlikely but welcome surprise was an Italian restaurant. Next time we will rent scooters for the whole vacation stay and tour the island on them. Great place!
