Aloft Langkawi Pantai Tengah is a 4-star Accommodation in Langkawi
After spending 2 nights over at a 3-star Balinese Boutique Hotel, we hopped over to Aloft Langkawi Pantai Tengah Hotel. I love how the hotel is located walking distance from the beautiful Pantai Tengah Beach as well.
Upon checking in, I realized that the entire lobby is open-air, which mean non-airconditioned. There were plenty of seatings around for visitors to rest or wait for their transport to arrive. My spectacle broke and I had to get the staff to assist me in glueing my broken spectacles. We had a few rounds of tabletop soccer at the lobby to pass time. In addition to the W XYZ Bar in the lobby, there was also the Re:fuelbyAloft, a mini snack bar. They offer light snacks, cup noodles, ice cream and other titbits for the convenience of hungry guests.
Garden View with a Balcony Facing the Sea
We headed up to our room on the 7th floor and was glad that the room was neat and tidy. The room looks pretty comfortable, and I am sure that I would not have issue not sleeping well at night. The rooms were all fitted with a balcony, and we took a few photos facing the low-lying housings and sea. There were 2 large yellow beanbags which we could take to the balcony to laze on as well. As for the toilet, I love how spacious it was, with the usual toilet amenities.
Breakfast at Nook
Our 2-night’s stay includes complimentary breakfast at Nook, located on the third floor of the hotel. The restaurant provides diner with indoor and al-fresco dining with a view of the breath-taking Andaman Sea. The included breakfast was definitely a time saver, and yet we woke up after 8am. The variety of food offered at the buffet was huge, and the refill for certain dishes were slow. The Malaysian nasi lemak with its side dishes seems to be the most popular dish, but unfortunately it was not replenished. The egg counter was slow, and a snaking queue usually forms in front. Even the already prepared half-boiled eggs requires me to queue in line.
My experience with Aloft Langkawi Pantai Tengah Hotel is quite positive in general. The location is quite accessible as we managed to get a grab easily on a several occasions. Beside the beautiful beaches, there were few spas along JL Teluk Baru street where I had my massages. Remember to arrive early for breakfast as the restaurant can get very busy at peak times.
