Getting there
Good for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
This is the perfect place if you want some peace and quiet, close to a long sandy empty beach, with a good selection of restaurants within a 10 minute walk. We loved it here! We came by ferry from Ko Lipe and got a taxi from Telaga Harbour in the north of Langkawi down to Tropical Resort (about 30 mins). The airport is only 10 minutes from Tropical Resort by taxi.
Some rooms face the swimming pool and others face away on the beachside. We had one of the latter and were delighted with it. There are a couple of chairs and a table outside each room and also a few sunbeds so you didn't have to go round to the pool for a sunbathe. It was a 3 minute walk down the private sandy track from the hotel to the beach (Pantai Tengah), ideal for early evening strolls. Lots of signs warning about jellyfish but that might be at certain times of the year.
The room was great, very spacious, effective a/c, a fridge, daily water bottles and a large modern bathroom.
If you turn right out of the hotel and walk down the road for 5-10 minutes, you'll find a good selection of restaurants and bars. If you turn left out of the hotel, you'll come to the shops of the busy Pantai Cenang area after about 20 minutes.
We particularly appreciated that the hotel was on the beach side - many hotels are on the other side of the road to the beach - so you can just stroll down to the beach in a bikini.
Breakfast (included in the price) is taken at the restaurant next door. I'd read some poor reviews of breakfast but I have to say that their omelettes are the best I've ever had! Unfortunately the 'fresh' coffee never seemed to be fresh and really wasn't drinkable. Instant Nescafe coffee and a kettle are provided in the room so the problem of our morning caffeine fix was easily solved!
Would definitely stay here again.

This is a budget accommodation therefore it attracts families with loud screaming children. The resort is built around a common pool that is basically just a few feet from your room door. Parents let their children out to play and scream early in the morning before 8am. The resort really does need some rules and enforcement here because these Malay families are very inconsiderate to others who stay here. Having said that, you can walk to a nice stretch of beach. The staff are friendly and moved us when the aircon was not working correctly. General rule of thumb, if you don't want to go to a place inundated with families and their noisy brats, pick a place without a pool, rent a car, and drive or walk to the beach.

It was great to stay in this beautiful resort very recently for 3 days/2 nights. Welcomed by a big smile from all the staff, I was the only guest in this resort. It’s very well maintained, clean and in a beautiful garden/forest. The swimming pool is so inviting and the beach is less than 3 minutes walking distance away. You can’t expect a 5-star-hotel, but it gave me a good feeling, that I’ve supported the local business a bit.It would be great and better if the breakfast, which is very huge and delicious, can be provided in the the beautiful library.

Booked this hotel for 3 nights and ended up spending 2 weeks there. They're all little cottages around a wonderful pool, ours looked at the back, to the little path to the beach so you had a glimpse of the sea and amazing sunset. The housekeeping staff is very attentive especially Helmy, cleans your room every day,change towels, bottles of water, toilet paper and toiletries every day, the gardens always looked after, the receptionist Fika, very friendly and helpful, Pantai tengah is a short walk to Pantai cenang so much quieter and the island is duty free, would recommend this hotel to anyone who's looking for a hotel by the beach. Only 2 star but 4 star service.

Beautiful little place, the cottages are situated around the swimming pool and every cottage has some green in front for privacy. Behind the cottages is a sand path that takes you to the beach, a communal outdoor shower it available there as well. The resort has a small library/book exchange. Staff is very helpful to book tours. Restaurants are across and a little bit up the road, a laundromat and 7/11 is a 4 minute walk. Please try their warm Malay breakfasts, they are delicious.

I stayed for 2 nights with my friends, this is my second time stayed at this resort. The room and bathroom are clean and we really appreciate how clean the bathroom is. One of the rooms that we stayed had issue with the faucet, they fixed it instantly. For the rooms we have nothing much to complaint about everything is superb. Only the lady staff at the reception was not really friendly. We also love the location with easy access to the beach
The breakfast was so-so compared to my last stay in 2017, we finally went to nearby local stalls for our breakfast.

Very good hotel. We were prepared for a bad breakfast and a thin blanket that looked more like an old bedspread. Everything else is good! The rooms have everything you need for life - a normal bathroom, TV, refrigerator, air conditioning, fan, safe, kettle. The staff is positive, the pool is large for such a hotel, the sea is 3 minutes on foot.

As in the photos, older bungalow resort in a great location, ..., not for those looking for luxury who think that this price means 5-star service!
Very well maintained, everything there, there are beach towels on request and a white linen towel no problem! Great pool, absolutely clean. What more could you want for this price?? Had a pool room, newly renovated, perfect!!!
Be sure to go to the "Hidden Restaurant" for sunset.

This is a lovely little hotel, great pool and beach access. Rooms are nice enough but could be upgrades with a few fancier design elements. Staff who were checking rooms were friendly as was the AM receptionist who was doing check outs. The PM receptionists were aloof and not so pleasant which didn’t give a great first impression. Location is ideal close enough to Cenang to walk, far away enough to be quiet.

located in a quieter stretch of Cenang, yet walking distance to some restaurants and shops this place neat with well kept landscape and friendly and helpful staff. A 3 minutes walk to the beach from the backyard, The path however can get quite dark walking back after sunset. Overall, very good stay and would definitely want to return!
