I find Langkawi to be pretty yucky now as it has been developed so badly, like lots of Malaysia I guess. Pantai Cenang in particular is horrid now. Yoy can't even see the beach as it is almost completely blocked by shops and hotels. They also seem to have big problems managing garbage collection.

Such a shame as I loved it on my first visit about 9 years ago.

Development is necessary and understandable to cater the increasing number of tourist arrivals to the island. But from my own observation, I dont think that Langkawi has been overly-developed. It is still pretty much laid-back with most parts on the island are covered with green nature. You can see the majestic mountains, spectacular paddy fields and fascinating traditional villages at all over the place.

I also think that Langkawi (in general) is very clean even in the crowded area like Cenang.
