We made a fairly last minute trip to Langkawi, and our accommodation options were limited by a convention taking place on the island.
The Langkawi Lagoon was one of the last places with rooms available, and for the price we paid, we were hoping for something special.
We certainly got it - when upon entering our room we discovered that my wife and I had been booked into a Twin. We were asked to wait in our room until a Double had been "made up." Two phone calls to the Front Desk and a 45 minute wait finally yielded a first floor Double - our original room had a much better view and larger balcony, so it felt like a downgrade from our point of view.
Judging by the number of complaints they seemed to field, we weren't the only ones dissatisfied with our accommodation.
Certainly this was a "family resort" - don't come here if you're looking to "get away from the kids," you'll just run into someone else's.
The breakfast buffet was terrible - although the beach-side bistro served some edible fare and cheap drinks during the evening.
Since the hotel markets itself as a "relaxing stay" my wife and I found it somewhat bizarre that you could hear the loud music from the bistro until midnight - especially from a place with so many kids about.
All in all the Langkawi Lagoon was okay, but we wouldn't go back, and it's probably not value for money given the rates they charge.
