Oh, that's meant it is just like the marine park in Redang only lo .... All the fishes were being attracted to that place is just mainly to attract more tourists. Anyway, the place is over carrying capacity d

Dont worry. No need to book also 1 la. Because when u arrive there just drive to Cenang Beach there. There are at least 20 to 30 motel...

The place where i stay is at AB Motel ...

The AB Motel is the perfect budget accomodation for all travellers.
They have a variety of different rooms for different prices and for different needs.
You can pay a little bit extra for a room that is right on the beach, or the cheaper option is to get one right across the road. As its only a 30second walk to the beach from there anyway, its win win!
Prices start from 50MYR per night.
I stayed in an air conditioned room with private shower and two single beds on the non beach side and it cost me 60MYR per night and even had a little enclosed porch area out the front with chairs to sit.
Great for independant travellers as they will leave you alone if need be and its a very easy check in process.
However, if you need any help with anything they are only more than happy to help at reception. They also have computers with the internet and wireless available for a reasonable price! Car rental and bike rental can also be done from reception.
The location of this motel is perfect, right in the heart of Pentai Cenang.
Its no 5 star resort, but for someone whos on a budget but likes the comfort of their own private room/bathroom, this place is excellent!!
If you google it you will find a few sites with contacts for booking... I just walked in off the street and that was fine, but you may have trouble doing that during peak seasons.

Comfortable clean beds!!

Langkawi Island Budget Hotels, Youth Hostels and Apartments

http://malaysiabudgethotel.com/accommodation/langkawi-island-hostels.html

Here is some of the places that you can stay on which is budget price. Try to check it out and compare la...

For me AB motel is good enough. Have their own cafe and 24hours kedai runcit. 5 to 10 minutes walk to underwater world! Along the road got belambak things to makan at night from Chinese to Iranan food. For makan is a bit expensive. 1 person will cost bout RM6 to RM8 per person which you can have nasi goreng with a drink. Morning can go for Mamak stall with delicious roti canai is just 1 minutes walk!

I have to help you plan what ? just let me know the detail. I might can't join the trip v you all d. Because my lecturer pushing me for my thesis to be finish end of Dec. Siao liao. What you wan me to plan? your journey? What i can help at the moment is giving you some guidance and the Langkawi map. I have some sources here ehich can help you in planning the trip. You can know the route of how to go and where is the interesting place to visit when you are there. Do let me know when you are free to come and get the stuff. I shall be leaving to Cambodia next week, but you can take from my GF la if you want janji cannot kacau her ya. wahahaha

Forget to tell you in these broucher, all the accomodation contact is available here. It'll be easy for you to do the booking.
Advise
1.) Go during weekdays and you can enjoy most of the things half price!
2.) Dare to bargain! Please do a reasonable price also la later kena pukoi
     sampai baru tahu.
3.) Remember to bring student Matric cards and ic, mostly you could enjoy
     students' rate for entrance fee.
Eg. Underwater World : RM25 become RM18 if i'm not mistaken
Eg. Cable car ride : RM 20 become RM10 if i'm not mistaken
4.) Get a person who know how to drive. Car price is RM50 - RM 100 depends
     on what branded car. Can try Merz there (weekdays only)
5.) Get a person who know how to read map.

Hope you all enjoy your trip. smile
