Rainforest, Beach & Service.

Advantages: Peace and tranquility in a stunning location
Disadvantages: Long way from any local shops or restaurants

...out of this world is the best way i can describe my stay at the Datai. Although set within the beautiful rainforests of Langkawi you are also just metres from a stunning stretch of sandy beach. I stayed in one of the Deluxe rooms at the top of the resort, which I found to be extremely spacious, the room had a king size bed, a large bathroom, a balcony which upon waking, would often find a small family of monkeys tucking into their breakfasts and ...
...the Andman Sea. There are villas further down the resort, some with private pools, nearer the beach and Spa. I prefered the views from the top of the hotel so the deluxe rooms or corner suites would be my choice of room on my next visit. The standard of service I received, even by Asian standards was extremely high and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. If this review tempts anybody to visit the Datai whilst you are there I would ...

Review of The Datai, Langkawi

Cheated by Sutera Harbour Resort

Advantages: Nice seaside at East Malaysia
Disadvantages: Raining season is no good at all

I booked the Magellan Sutera Harbour and paid for 12 nights for about £1200 for my friends during Feb 2008. The first day my friends arrived there at the hotel, it was just raining for the whole day and nothing they can do in the hotel. Food and everything are expensive and even can be like the London price. The worst part is after 2 rainy days there, my friends need to urgently travel back to the UK and at the same time the hotel promised to invoice ...
...the remainder 10 nights. The Sutera Harbour hotel told me that they have to charge for full 12 nights due to a highly booked season but actually my friends told me that the hotel was not full at all. I will not recommend to anyone to use this hotel again. They are not only cheating tavellers, they also cheating the local people like me. We earn no easy money, we lost £1000 this time and since I already back to UK before getting this sort out, I can ...

Review of Sutera Harbour Resort & Spa, Kota Kinabalu

Nice hotel but beach is not excellent

Advantages: Huge room, great pools, lots of facilities at the hotel
Disadvantages: A bit on the expensive side, the beach is not that nice

...a room at the hotel Pelangi beach resort and we booked through their website http://www.pelangibeachresort.com/ . We had to pay 533 Ringgit (about 75£) for the room per night and this did not include breakfast. On March 25th we went from Perhentian Island to Langkawi. It was a long day as we had to get up early, catch the boat to the main land, drive to the airport at Kota Bharu, go to KL and from there take the flight to Langkawi. Both Malaysia ...
...1 hour.. The hotel Pelangi beach hotel complex is huge. When we got there the check in was fast and efficient and we were driven to our room in a little golf car as the hotel is spread out on a fairly big area. We got room 3601 which has a lake view. Our room was located in house 36 and it contained 4 rooms on 2 levels. When we got in we saw that we had taken a step up in quality of accommodation compared to Perhentian Island resort. First of all ...

Review of Pelangi Beach Resort, Langkawi

beautiful view, shame about the hairdryer

Advantages: on the waterfront, good pool, friendly service
Disadvantages: dated rooms

Stayed for 4 nights with family, and were met by an army of porters and workers whose sole responsibility was to smile at us. The staff are welcoming and public areas very modern, but the rooms are bland and dated, with enormous yellow hairdryers the size of a pillow. The pool is great to unwind in the afternoon, and breakfast is a sprawling buffet of choice, with waffle, noodle, dim sum and omelette stations. We, like most other guests were there ...

Review of Hilton Hotel, Kuching

Bliss in the double ensuite

Advantages: Huge room, own bathroom with bath and shower, very cheap
Disadvantages: Simple breakfast, miserable receptionist, bit of a walk to bus station

...getting a cab to our hotel as there were a load of drivers calling out at us to give us a ride. It took about 15 minutes from here to get to Hotel Mingood which is in the historical Georgetown (the main town in Penang). The drive is an interesting one taking you past what is typical Malaysia - a run down and falling apart shed with washing hanging up on a line outside and a dirty dog sleeping in the mud (hard to believe this is someone's home) whilst ...
...the bus. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to a shopping centre, supermarket and New World Park which is a fab new outdoor complex (opened in January 08) with a load of restaurants ranging from expensive and fancy cuisine, affordable bars and cafes or a cheap food court. There's also a stage where entertainment is held. A 20 minute walk in the opposite direction will take you to the main road and the bus station where every bus on the island stops. On ...
