Casa del Mar

by Rustscheff

We have noticed that Casa del Mar has got fantastic reviews and is far, far cheaper than Tanjung Rhu, the Datai or the Andaman but it seems to be located in a very populated area.

Is the beach full of screaming schoolchildren in early December? Are the surroundings dreadful?

Yes - Casa del Mar is absolutely cheaper than the high-end hotels such as Tanjung Rhu, the Datai and the Andaman.

It's located at Pantai Cenang - the most popular and liveliest beach in Langkawi. Therefore, finding food and entertainment are not a problem. There are a wide selection of restaurants and pubs within a walking distance nearby.

Casa del Mar hotel is a really nice hotel with a beach and surrounding enjoyed by all.

December is the year end school holiday in Malaysia and most probably the Cenang beach (being most popular) will be crowded with parents and children. You see, Malaysian parents love to bring their children to Langkawi during school breaks.

If you want to enjoy a quiet beautiful beach, I would suggest you to stay at Langkasuka Beach Resort which is located at Pantai Kok. And, the best thing, this resort has it's own private beach!

However, if you stay here, it's best to rent a car because you'll need that to find places to eat as well as entertainment. Most probabably, you'll end up driving to Pantai Cenang because everything you ever need is there!

So, the advantage of staying in a hotel at Pantai Cenang is you're within a walking distance to restaurants, shops and pubs. But, the place will be crowded with people (local and foreign tourists) especially during school breaks.
