Hey Tintin: Check out the websites:
www.langkawi-resorts.com and
www.langkawi-online.com
This should give you the type of information you want. The best beach on the island is at the Datai. There are two hotels there, the Datai and the Andaman. They are VERY expensive so maybe not what you are looking for. The next best beach in my opinion is Chaweng. There are plenty of hotels here ranging from 30$ per night to over 100$. Lots of excellent restaurants and a few places for a drink. Not at all like Thailand, very peaceful and quiet. There is also go-karting here which was a blast and you can rent a scooter or car very cheaply to travel around the island (less than 1 1/2 hours).
Also lots of boat tours, island hopping etc. Clean water, nice beach and relaxing time.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Ashley
