Verdict
Berjaya Langkawi Resort spreads over the forest and water of Burau Bay (Teluk Burau) on Langkawi’s west coast, with about 400 chalets and suites. Rooms range from Rainforest Chalets and Studios among the trees to Premier Chalets and Suites built on stilts over the water.
The resort puts Oriental Village 0.7 km away and the Langkawi SkyCab 0.85 km away, about a 10-minute walk, with the Seven Wells Waterfall about 5 minutes by car. It also has what it calls the island’s largest ballroom, seating up to 900, and eight meeting rooms. Breakfast is included only if your rate says so.
The catch is the size and the forest. Guests get around by buggy, and a summary of reviews mentions room maintenance, slow service, noise between rooms and pests. One guest warns of ants if food is left out, and of many monkeys.
Good for
Families who want the SkyCab within walking distance and a room over the water.
Not for
Anyone uneasy about monkeys and insects, or who wants to walk to Pantai Cenang.
