One more suggestion for you is that you can actually book the local tour in the counters just next to the baggage claim area, i.e. before you exit to the main lobby where the drivers are waiting to pick to up. There were only 2-3 different agencies, you just check the price in one and then bargain with the other, usually the second agency can offer a better price than the first. It saves time to go around and bargain in different agencies, although there are quite a number on the street outside Holiday Villa. Besides, there is no difference in term of service provided. Because all these agencies just receive the order and the final service is provided by the same company as listed on the brochure.
I stayed in LKG for 5 days and 4 nights.
Day 1: Arrived at 4 pm, just swiming in hotel and went dining in "Sun Cafe"
Day 2: Join tour to Coral Platform. Remember to join the company 'Langkawi Coral' with buffet lunch provided in the floating platform. http://www.langkawicoral.com/home.html
We stayed in downtown after the trip to walk around in the shopping mall and the big eagle statue in downtown. We went back by Taxi after dinner. All the taxi have a fix rate for different destination, so no cheating and no need to bargain
Day3: Went to take the cable car but unfortunately it was closed, so we just walked around in oriental village. Booked a sunset fishing trip, very enjoyable! We caught more than 20 fishes, most were groupers.
Day 4: Rent a car for 1 day. Go shopping, seven wells and round island tour. Fishing again in late afternoon.
Day 5: Packing after breakfast. Time to go!!!
Hope this can be of use to you all. Also, hope you can enjoy your trip just like us.
The snorkling is very suitable for kids , even under 8 years old. We take a boat like HK to Macau that one and then to the middle of sea. There is a platform which is a with 100-200 people for eating and snorkling. It is the main point to Langwai. If you don't go, you MUST miss.
I go with two kids with 6 and 8. Both can't swim well but you can sit the edge of the platform. So all youngest kid and oldest people sit there and very safe with safe jacket.
Then, we take a little boat to the beach at your wish (free of charge) to feed the sharp and feed small fish. MUST GO also.
I just go with 2 kids and also enjoy so much.
Please don't use shampoo and bath gel to protect the environment.
Holiday villa is good for relax with nice swimming pool for kids. And there are very good taste and many choice of restaurant, supermarket just outside of hotel. Please don't expect too much on the room. But better than others.
We don't need to join any tour except going to the island. I may have the tour information. The tour is the same as tour of EGL. We go with hkong Kong people joining tour of EGL in the ship. Taxi service is also at fixex price. When we take taxi, we also buy a lot of food from restaurant and the taxi driver waits for us.
It is very safe in Langwai as we're only three persons to go. So, I like Langwai as well very much.
The distance to beach is ~50-100m, and it is not difficult to swim to beach from the floating platform. And there is a small boat for transfer to beach. Here is the photo which show the distance:

I had gone there in 2007 summer. At that time, the offical price was 230rm/adult, 150rm/child.
I booked the tour through a travel agent near Lang Square(Eagle square) and Jetty shopping centre (There is many counters of travel agents over there). Without much negotiation, just directly ask the cheapest they can offer, I get 190rm/adult and 130rm/child respectively.
