Located right next to a calm beach that we enjoyed - had the beach to ourselves the entire evening, in fact! We much preferred this beach/hotel location to the busy/touristy center (Centai Penang -- too many motorsports, people, touristy junk). The hotel staff was very friendly/helpful and gave us a great recommendation to visit a gorgeous beach on the other side of the island (near 4 seasons resort). We went there when it was raining on NR's side of the island. We felt that it was VITAL to have a rental car in order to adequately explore the island. It makes life so much easier. Centai Penang would be a very long walk from NR, so it is best to have a car/call a grab taxi (although, I'm not sure how popular grab taxi is in Langkawi). The price was really fantastic for a big group and we felt that the accommodatio was adequate for what we needed. Nothing fancy, but reasonably clean and beds/space was large enough for two adults in each room with a little porch area. Note that the bathroom is very basic and there is not a true modern shower -- just a shower head and the bathroom itself has a drain on the floor. This was fine for us as we prefer modest accommodations. Note that they clean the rooms only upon request, so if you need refills of toilet paper or to empty trash, just ask. We liked the quieter location of the motel. It is also right across the street from a cheap laundraumat where we did laundry and a decent malaysian restaurant next door. Would stay here again!
