We selected the City Bayview Hotel based on the reviews on this very web site and also the fact that it offerred the best prices for a room that could accommodate all our children in the same room as us. I made the reservations through Email and the response was prompt and didn't require a credit card number to be provided for verification. We flew into Langkawi after having spent four days in a good hotel in KL. Bayview Hotel was really different and I thought it was good value for money. The rooms were really spacious and the bathrooms were excellent with a bath tub and a seperate shower place as well. What impressed me the most was the view the room offerred. From the eleventh floor the bay view was just that A Bay View and a truely breathtaking one at that.

On a closer look inside the rooms one could notice certain cable looms not secured properly but other than that the rooms were just perfect for the price. I would definitely recommend this hotel to any one travelling with or without a family and small children.

Food in the Flamingo restaraunt was good and more suited to the predominantly asian guests staying at the hotel. In comparision to the hotel in KL that we had stayed in the Bayview offerred lesser variety in terms of Indian and other continental food. But really it was nothing to be complaining about. Perhaps the sighting on an occassional fly in the restarautn is something that the hotel needs to do something about and I have mentioned that in my feedback too to the hotel administration.

The staff were really friendly , courteous and prompt.

Each morning as I woke up and drew the curtains I would sing a few lines from the song Blue Bayou (slightly modified ofcourse) ".... those sailing boats with their sails afloat....if only I could see...that familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes ....how happy I would be.."

In all a very memorable experience and the kids and the whole family enjoyed it thoroughly and we are definitely planning on going back there some day soon.

The hotel looks into the view of the sea and i located in the main market area....for those who want to be in the city center, If you are looking to be closer to the beach...then this is not the hotel for you to opt for. The hotel is nice, while, food options are a bit limited. But, being in the market area, you can walk across to it.

My husband had booked the honeymoon package at this hotel to surprise me for our anniversary celebration. We have been given a honeymoon suite and to add to the package, a candle light dinner by the poolside on the second night we were there. The overall service and the cleanliness of the room were very good and above average. My frustration only for the candle light dinner that was supposed to be at the poolside. They had changed the venue last minute; ie instead of the dinner should be by the poolside, it ended up at the hotel restaurant with others having buffet dinner. Yes, they did put our table secluded from others, but still we didn't find it romantic because we can see a lot of people having their buffet dinner and the people also stared at us as if 'what were we doing there'.... I asked the waiter why don't they stick to the original plan ie having the candle light dinner by the poolside. She said she didn't know why and probably because of the weather. I doubted that because that night the weather was very nice with a clear sky where it should be perfect for a candle light dinner with a starry sky!!

By looking at their preparation for the dinner, I think maybe they didn't want to have difficulties in order to transport the food to the poolside and hence they asked us to have the dinner only at the restaurant. Or probably because we are only a local people, so it shouldn't be a problem to change the venue last minute... I didn't know which one of my guess was true, but I was really frustrated with the hotel. I felt like being cheated by the package which was not wonderful at all.

I preferred to have my honeymoon at the cenang's area or a hotel by the seaside because of the view, but my husband had booked this package so I had to put up with this. The only thing that I was looking forward to was the candle light dinner by the poolside, but the hotel management had changed the venue last minute. I was frustrated. My next trip to Langkawi, I probably won't stay at this hotel.
