Holiday Inn, Penang
 |
The Holiday Inn, Penang |
Penang is the most popular of Malaysia’s island resorts and just a one hour flight from Kuala Lumpur. It was the first British trading post in the Far East and the capital, Georgetown, is still a bustling city. There’s plenty to see here and, if you are brave enough, you can take a trishaw ride around the streets with the colourful pre-war shophouses. Elsewhere on the island you can visit butterfly farms and botanical gardens, the Chinese pagoda, take a funicular to the top of Fraser’s Hill and see one of the world’s longest reclining Buddha’s.
On Batu Ferringhi beach you can slow down! Spend the daytime under a shady palm tree and sunsets here are magnificent. As dusk falls sip a cocktail by the pool bar and plan your evening. You can sample any number of cuisines in the many restaurants, buy your souvenirs from the street market and there are late night bars and nightclubs if you wish.
The hotel is not the biggest on the beach but the service is personal, the gardens are beautiful and the open air lobby lounge and coffee shop are excellent value. Bedrooms reserved for you all have seaview.
Rebak Marina Resort, Langkawi
Also just an hour’s flight from Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi is much quieter. Water buffalo roam freely among the paddy fields and the mangrove swamps are home to plenty of wildlife. The island is very green and the main industry is still fishing.
Our hotel is on Rebak Island – just ten minutes by motorboat from the big island. You will be met at the airport and your luggage taken care of. The resort is tranquil, the gardens immaculate and the staff are attentive. Bedrooms are in small lowrise blocks around the resort and if you really want to get away from it all this is perfect.
The only disturbance will be the gentle phut phut as boats pass by and in the late afternoon you can watch the sea eagles soaring high over the island. A motorboat shuttle service will take you to the big island if you want to go shopping or sightseeing. |
