I will support those who think that the Westin does not live up to the real 5 stars.
Of course, it is the coolest of all the hotels in Langkawi, but it is unrealistic to fool our people there.
1/ We booked on the Sheraton website - they cheated with a breakfast, which, as it turned out upon arrival, costs $ 28!
2) People, check the mini-bars - there should be an inscription on each of their jars - we didn’t check the hotel and paid 24 ringit extra - it’s not a tragedy, but it’s not nice that grandmothers do this on trifles - the staff slipped them without stickers - but we didn’t check upon arrival. Somehow trusted a "5" star hotel.
3) on the first evening, having nothing to do, we went to look at the territory - in the children's pool - swim frogs, where the next day the kids frolicked very much with their mothers, sometimes choking on water where the day before there were frogs (maybe they laid their eggs).

There is another pool there with a fountain - there is generally a frog's lair - every night from there only frog songs were heard. Not a single tourist dived there.
4) BEACH - unreal horror - look for a beach in Langkawi not sandy but with pebbles. I have never seen such a nasty beach and oily dirty water anywhere! If you want a real sea - then it's not in the Westin, they say there is 1 hotel in Langkawi but I don't remember the name.
5) SPA - very expensive - a half-hour walk (why it is not clear why) - it costs 30 ringit - we managed it ourselves - we walked without accompaniment.
6) Lobby staff - does not warn, That there is transport to "people" (Westin is almost the last, then the jungle) to the supermarket - Fair - they do not tell anyone, they lobby the interests of local taxi drivers,
7) all the additional attractions are quite new - but they call them so funny - the biggest in the world, te legend of langkawi, the greatest shop - hotels are very expensive. we traveled by ourselves.
The people are very kind. friendly, not pushy.
In principle, it is interesting, but the island, like the country in the whole, is dirty. Wash your hands constantly. to clean it with drinking water.
