Planning 2-3 nights at either while down in KL to visit mum and can't decide between:

Japamala looks awesome, very laid-back, rates very reasonable too, stunning views etc etc (check out the Mandi Mandi resto on the website!!).
Then again, I really really really want to go to Langkawi to do the Skywalk on Mt Cincang:
Which destination would you opt for, and why?

I've been to Tioman but not to Lankawai. I enjoyed Tioman; clean and quiet. I suspect Lankawi is more commercial

I've been to Langkawi a couple of times, but never done the Skywalk... that's about the only lure for me there. Tioman just looks like heaven.

You'll LOVE this view of the cable car going up there, then:

And I thought Langkawi was a lovely beach resort with turquoise water and white sandy stretches of beaches

It is, in places ~ pretty much like any other beach resort-type place in Asia. Some good stuff, some crap stuff. You pick & choose.

I would choose to go to some place new if you have already been to Langkawi before

But I've never done the Skywalk before. And there's sea-kayaking excursions through limestone rock formations etc to see the eagles and so on.

Hmmn. But I will be having to keep three children (two which I grew and one who insists he can't "lie around on a beach all day reading cos I'll get bored") entertained.

I should just leave 'em all at home and go by myself to some exclusive spa to be pampered and 'ssagied. You realise they will appreciate none of all this angst-ing and fretting and making sure I choose the right place so that THEY will like it.
