If you do not intend to spend your vacation in your room choose the Federal over Holiday Villa.
There could be a need for a little bit of renovating, especially bathroom, but in overall the hotel is clean, tranquil and kind of cozy.
2 pools: 1 big one with several little pools for kids and there is certainly have enough sunbeds for everyone.
Second is Lavilla restaurant and pool area. The pool is lovely infinity pool with a spectacular view to the sea. You have to pay 25 ringet / 5 EUR per person for the access BUT it is really worth it. If You are a couple / adults and want to enjoy the pool time without screaming/ splashing kids around – use this pool instead of big one. Note – service stuff particularly at Lavilla is sometimes seems very tired and not costumer friendly. Employees who are happy at work give better customer service – this is note to hotel management. Also one male worker/bartender was almost arrogant and always “too busy”. Special thanks for Faizal – You are very lovely and always smiling and eager to help. The staff at the reception is very professional – smooth check-in and check-out both times, very kind and helpful, they do their job well. Special thanks to Dyana and Siti Hajar, lovely ladies. The breakfast was nice, everything we need: good omelets, fresh dark bread and lovely sweet bread choices, variant juices and good coffee and fruits etc. Overall, we loved our stay at this hotel and plan to stay there whenever we are in Langkawi!
