Verdict

The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa has 221 rooms on the Kuah waterfront, just south of the ferry jetty.

It is about 5 minutes by road from the jetty and about 25 minutes from the airport. Breakfast is included only if your rate says so.

The catch is age and distance. A summary of guest reviews says the facilities are outdated and some rooms are worn and not clean, and Pantai Cenang and the west-coast beaches are about 25 minutes away by road.

Good for

Travellers arriving or leaving by ferry, and anyone who wants Kuah town close by.

Not for

Anyone who wants the west-coast beaches on the doorstep, or modern rooms.
