Langkawi getaway
Back at Singapore this morning. I was at Langkawi over the weekend for holiday, quite an awesome getaway. I just love the blue sea and white sand, how unforgettable.
Friday, we took a morning flight down to Langkawi and when we reached there, we checked in at Berjaya beach resort. Our room was upgraded to a bigger size one, we were so happy about it and turned out that Kahmun just became their VIP suddenly (found out while queuing of our breakfast buffet on the second day).
During our wait to check in to our room, we were given complimentary fruit punch to enjoy.
After some wait, around 2 PM. We finally get to check in and the first thing I did once I went into the room is to take photos! Ok, my first time in an overseas resort chalet, so gonna take many photos. Evil laughs...Well, the room was really spacious and totally enough for 3 persons instead of 2 persons to stay in. This is how the whole chalet looks like.
Anyway, we kick start our getaway with the cable car attraction. One of Langkawi famous attractions and well, it's nearby our resort too. So we took a shuttle bus to the cable car station. It was located at the Oriental Village. We bought the tickets at 30 RM (est. SGD13) per person, the cable car ride was awesome and believe me, it's really a must try when you visit Langkawi.
When you reached the top, it's like you have reached Genting Highland. The wind will keep blowing towards you and it's the highest point on Langkawi island so you might feel cold and worst if the wind kept blowing.
After all the photo taking and sightseeing, we headed down to the famous waterfall nearby. There are a lot of monkeys around, so be alert if you are going to the waterfall. But they won't attack you if you don't try to provoke them. (:
Next, we went back to our resort lobby and have our buffet dinner before we headed back to our chalet. There isn't much selection for dinner, but well...it comes with our hotel package, besides it's free. So we have a good time there. The tomato soup was the best ever, hahas.
After dinner, back to our room for the night. We didn't realised that we had the air-con turned on to the lowest temperature, so both of us couldn't sleep well due to the ultra coldness. Anyway, the second day started with breakfast followed by suntanning session till 2pm. We were so tan-red by the end of the session. Till now, I still can feel the hotness and pain of the suntan-aftermath. By the way, we had our tan session at the private beach from the resort and so there are towels and lesser people, finally...cleaner water (blue sea).
Then, we visited the underwater world after our tan session. Tickets plus the cab fare cost around 50 RM per pax (minimum 2 pax). So it's not cheap till where however if compared to our underwater world, it's cheaper 'of course. We took a lot of photos but I was disappointed that I can't get to see dolphins.
So after that, we walked around the area. Well...if you notice, most cars there have "K" alphabet at the starting of the car plate number which i assume that because Langkawi belongs to the Kedah state of Malaysia so that's why it started with the "K" letter where, in Johor, car plate number start with "J" and Malacca, start with "M". Anyway, little information for you guys, please exchange enough small notes (e.g. 1RM, 5RM & 10RM) for taking cabs/taxi, because the driver seldom have small notes with them.
Right after our underwater world trip, we decided to have our dinner at nearby beach cafe. Well, you must know that the underwater world there is very near to the Pantai Cenang's beach. And from there, you can find a lot of restuarants, gift stores, provision stores and budget inns. So we ate at some cafe near the beach shore with good view. We spend 76 RM (est. SGD35) on the dinner, and well...the food is quite good, sorry that I don't know the cafe's name.
After that, we went back our resort to rest and return back to Singapore this morning. That summarized my 2 days at Langkawi. I hope you guys had a great time over the weekends, and my experience at Langkawi might help you to plan out your beach getaway if you wanted to visit Langkawi next time. Be sure to drop by my blog again. I shall end this post with my favourite photo of the trip then. Take care, my readers.
