My understanding is that the StR beach isn't very good. The one at the RC is small, but secluded, and I thought it was nice enough. The beach on Datai Bay (home of the now burned down Luxury Collection The Andaman Resort) is much better though.
RC Langkawi is a special property. Certainly a step up from your typical Bonvoy property 5* resort in SEA.
Thank you!
This helps to paint a bit of a better picture for me. The beach at Datai Bay looks amazing. I wish either the StR or the RC had a beach like that. Of the 2, it looks like RC is better.
Your feedback and others, likely has me changing my mind.
