Pangkor Laut Resort
I remembered passing by this island (Pangkor Laut, the tiny island next to Pangkor island) as a teen on a motor-boat along with other tourists while the tour guide boasted about the magnificence and exclusivity of this island resort.
Fast forward ten years (or more), I was spending a chilling 3D2N on this island in the resort last weekend. And while I was lazing by the pool one day, I saw a boat with tourists slowing down and eventually stopping in front of the sea chalets before zooming off.
Some things never change.
I didn't have the pleasure to stay in the sea villa, but the hill villa did offer a splendid view.
Though honestly the price didn't justify the quality of the villas here. Then again, for a resort with its own private island, I don't see any other hotels/resorts offering better rates. If you're budget conscious and still demand luxury, this will be your resort, just don't expect much privacy.
I woke up the third day from the moaning sound of my neighbor (50 year old guy, mind you) making love to his wife.
You could probably get more privacy from the sea villas (opt for the bigger ones). My verdict: sea villa, or nothing. Unless, you know, peeping's your thing.
Ordered lunch and have it brought over to the room.
Normally hey don't offer room service here (which is strange, perhaps it's because it's a long walk from the restaurant to the hill villas).
I'm special.

ReplyDeleteAnd the food looks good, too...what's that main dish? (the one for dinner)
thanks. the mains are lamb and beef. both mediocre. but presentation not bad.
DeleteI was planning to go there with my family this July and there are 9 of us (including 2 kids) and we are offered the garden villa!
ReplyDeleteNow that you said its a bit over rated, i am a bit apprehensive to proceed with the booking!
their elevator to the hill villas is broken so garden villa is probably the better choice here. save the CLIMB. food isn't great. for the price you're paying, i'd recommend a private pool villa somewhere in bali.
