I will be traveling with my family with kids.
Before the travel
Booked the air ticket several months before the travel. The rate was very good from Air Asia. Occasionally, Air Asia will notify of irresistible promotions.
A few weeks before the actual travel date, we booked a hotel online. According to friends who travelled to Langkawi often, hotels are not a problem and you won't have problem getting a good bargain. Some even advised us that going to the ferry port/harbour or airport to hunt for bargain is better, but with kids, we tried not to risk not having a place. Renting a car is a must, but for those not comfortable driving around Langkawi, I guess there will be taxi/cab. I will be booking a car.
