Hotels In Langkawi Have Dropped Their Prices Up To 70% So Now Is The Best Time To Go

According to Bernama, the Kedah/Perlis branch of the Malaysian Association of Hotels (MAH) is offering 30% to 70% discounts on hotel rooms in light of the coronavirus outbreak.

45 hotels on the duty-free island have agreed to slash their prices down to lure back tourists.

New Straits Times reported that hotels in Langkawi are severely affected by the coronavirus outbreak as many tourists, especially those from China, have cancelled their trips to the island.

"The discount is offered by three-star hotels and above. People can check their websites or social media to know more about it," said MAH's Perlis/Kedah branch vice president Razmi Rahmat yesterday, 16 February.

"For example, a three-star hotel will have an attractive deal starting [at] RM150 and not more than RM250 per night."

Hotel room rates at Bayview Hotel Langkawi are priced as low as RM160 in conjunction with its Super Deal Room promotion and Valentine's Day promotion.

Resorts World Langkawi has also reduced its rates of standard rooms from RM240 to RM190.

Both hotels have a four-star rating.

The international cycling race took place from 7 to 14 February and hosted national teams from European and Asian countries.

The multi-stage event saw national rider Muhamad Nur Aiman Mohd Zariff become the first Malaysian winner of the 'King of Mountain' red jersey, reported Malay Mail.
