We’ve had some great memories staying at Aloft KL and when we were planning on where to stay at Langkawi, our first thought was Aloft Langkawi! We booked our stay on Agoda and we got steal at RM250/night with breakfast! You can check in out HERE.

Aloft Langkawi Pantai Tengah is a refreshing Marriott resort in the breathtaking destination of Langkawi. It was built in a way that resembles and provides a resort-like vibe. Aloft also boast multiple restaurants and bars, most notably Nook, where breakfast buffet is served here for in-house guests.

Our grab driver did us justice by driving super fast and we reached Aloft Langkawi in no time at all. We arrived and immediately I was impressed by the lobby. Open air, and it does provide a resort-like vibe. The only downside to this though, was the humidity and heat in the area.

Check in was done swiftly and we got our key cards to our room in just under 10 minutes. We also asked if there’s any happy hour promotion in the hotel’s bar, and were told that alcohols are 50% off, and we have 20 minutes left! We soon rushed to our room and headed straight for the bar!

Pina Colada (RM9)
WXYZ Grovy (RM9)

We rushed to the bar and we immediately ordered one of their signature cocktail, WXYZ Grovy! Don’t be fooled by the name, as it turns out to be quite strong in flavor. It consisted of Captain Morgan, Blue Curacao Malibu, Coconut Cream and Pineapple Juice!

Whereas for me, I decided to go for my all time favorite, Pina Colada! What we didn’t realized was the fact that we ordered 2 very similar drinks LOL! My Pina Colada had Bacardi and Malibu, mixed with Coconut Cream and Pineapple Juice! Unlike the WXCY Grovy, the Pina Colada is milder and a tad sweeter.

We soon sat on one of the sun-loungers and witnessed a magnificent sunset!

After enjoying the sunset for about 20 minutes, we decided to head to Nook, Aloft’s all-day-dining restaurant, just beside the pool, for our dinner! We had an amazing dinner at Nook, and you can check out our review HERE. After spending close to 2 hours for dinner, we then head back to our room at around 9PM.

The Room – Aloft Langkawi

To be extremely honest, we were too tired to take any pictures once we arrived at our rooms as we started our travelling journey early in the morning. But we were impressed by the spacious rooms and funky designs. The bed was comfortable enough, and big enough for the both of us LOL.

Look at the mess HAHA
Sea-view Balcony!

The room came equipped with a working desk, and a sitting area where we put our luggage. We also had a balcony with lounge chairs! Here, we would like to thank Aloft Langkawi for upgrading our rooms to a Seaview room!

Nothing much to shout about in the toilet! Shower and toilet are separated (always appreciated) and basic toilet amenities are provided. There is also bathrobes available in the room.

The next morning, we managed to snap some picture in the balcony!

The Breakfast

Breakfast is located at Nook as well, and it starts from 7AM to 1030AM (If I’m not mistaken). We went there at around 930AM, and it was crowded. Despite the crowd, the team at Nook was super efficient and we managed to get ourselves a table after 10minutes of waiting!

Your usual suspects are on offer! Western, Oriental, and Local cuisines are served. It is a buffet and you are required to wear a hand glove every time for your second/third rounds.

Disappointingly, the only regret for us is that we couldn’t eat a lot of food (because of yesterday night) and hence unable to sample most of the breakfast item on offer. However, based on the few we’ve tried, we feel like it is a normal breakfast buffet, nothing to shout about but at the same time did a decent job in filling your tummy early morning!

Nevertheless, we continued sipping on coffee and juices before we head back to our room! On our way to our room, we thought we want to share that this is definitely one of a kind where the corridor outside our room is open air and faces the jungle. How cool is that!

We asked for late check out at 1PM and it was granted, probable because it was a weekday! We then just decided to rest in our room before we packed our bags and check out!

Final Thoughts – Aloft Langkawi

We had an amazing stay at Aloft Langkawi! Although it was a short stay, the team at Aloft Langkawi tried their very best to make our stay a memorable one. From the upgrading of our room, to the magnificent food served to us, we were constantly impressed by their level of professionalism and enthusiasm! We will definitely be back again 🙂
