Verdict

The Frangipani Langkawi Resort & Spa is an eco-resort on the sand at Pantai Tengah, on Langkawi’s west coast, with 115 rooms and beach villas.

It has a saltwater pool, and it is about 15 minutes by road from the airport and about 25 minutes from Kuah jetty. Breakfast is included only if your rate says so.

The catch is the rooms. A summary of guest reviews says they are spacious but dated, with maintenance problems such as poor drainage and old furniture, and that the breakfast has limited variety.

Good for

Couples and families who want a garden resort on the sand, close to the airport.

Not for

Anyone who wants modern rooms or a wide breakfast spread.
