The Lanai Langkawi Beach Resort

Today's talks about the Lanai Langkawi Beach Resort.

The Hotel Lanai is a beautiful and well-equipped building is located on a beach of white sand and calm seas attractive and friendly. The hotel pool is excellent, but the pool bar does not work and theirs is not official that he can get with unruly children by tightening the balls around and "attack ".

The hotel is popular with customers from Germany and Denmark and with the Germans predominate, if you want a decent place by the pool or beach, you better get up before dawn. The first morning of my stay I got up early to hear the birds call. I did not hear the birds, but I saw the ghostly figures of German beach towels in hand, go through the palm trees and deck chairs and sun loungers requisition with ruthless efficiency .. Since the dawn chorus, it has been very rapid progress.

Breakfast at the Hotel is in rather a dingy room and is good - not great, but good enough. For dinner, they have a establishment on the beach, that is really an upgraded Hamburger joint. Most people therefore go out for dinner, but I found it perfectly adequate for a snacky type of dinner.

The establishment is well served by a cheerful staff, who are friendly but many of them have a shaky grasp of English, so make sure that your instructions are understood..

The Hotel does not change Travellers Cheques and to change them requires a 20 minute trip to town and can involve one in a major financial transaction. For some reason on presenting cheques a clerk had to be sent across the town to check the serial numbers!!!!. The transaction took 35/40 mintes. Better to change your money on arrival at the Airport.. Taxis are also freely available there..I can recommend an elderly Taxi driver who hangs around the hotel called 'Hussain' A nice man who I used regularly and he did not try to rip me off. His English is rudimentary however..

Langkawi: Pantai Chenang

Above about Pantai Chenang.

A beautiful beach, with beautiful nature and beautiful people. This beach is the center of the action and adventure in Langkawi are, i think. You have the opportunities to try jet ski, parasailing, and for family, you can try the banana boat. I think for the local here, the price is quite steep, as for 30 minute ride, you’ll pay RM90 minimum for jet ski and parasailing. Maybe for the foreigners is quite cheap, don't know. Try asking them.

And at night, the beach is quite dark, but there a few place to hang out at beach

Langkawi Leisure and Luxury

Above about leisure and luxury at Langkawi. Read and try product from the bottom of this blog under sponsor links. Hope you enjoy it.

Langkawi has 99 islands when the tide is up, then the tide recedes to reveal five more of the most fascinating atolls. Most of the islands are uninhabited and a popular activity for many people is to pick an island and spend a day in the lovely idyllic beaches. Explore the island, having a picnic or pretending to dig up treasures hidden by the legendary pirates, without any human intrusions. You can welcome plenty of wildlife though with monitor lizards and bright jewel colored birds popping in to say hello. Lie back and watch the majestic eagles riding the air currents in the clear blue sky. Alone or with company of your choice, this is a splendid way to have a day off.

Langkawi lives up to all its clichés - beautiful turquoise seas dotted with islands of emerald green and limestone outcrops standing guard over the magnificence. It also has bright green paddy fields and some lush jungles. Time stands still and loses all meaning in this tropical paradise.

If you want to get away from the bounties of Nature, enjoy a dizzying cable car ride! This ride is in two parts, takes you up the steep side to Gunung Mat Cincang, the highest point on the island. There are spectacular views and on a day when visibility is good, you can have a bird's eye view of Thailand. At the bottom is Oriental village where you can buy souvenirs and handicrafts.

Langkawi hotels accommodation consists mostly of lovely resorts near the beaches. There are smaller and cheaper hotels in the business centre - Kuah and around the vibrant and active Pentai Cenang beach. Book your accommodation through Excitehotels.com and get yourself a great deal with up to 75 percent discounts.

Langkawi is a child's paradise with naturally fun beach activities such as building sandcastles, chasing mud crabs, counting the eagles or attempting to tickle a fish out of water. Keep an eye out and you might spot a dolphin or two in the distance. These gorgeous friendly creatures abound in the Andaman Islands.

Langkawi boasts of some excellent hotels so foodies can gorge themselves on delicious meals especially seafood. Massages are offered by both the resorts and individual masseurs so be sure and indulge yourself in a long decadent massage. Before leaving, take advantage of its duty free status and do some shopping.

Langkawi Island Paradise

Article about Langkawi Island Paradise for travelers.

The largest one is the eponymous Pulau Langkawi, barely an hour's flight from the Malaysian capital city of Kuala Lumpur.


The words of praise we had read on Wikipedia could have hardly prepared us for the picturesque beauty of the place. Even the small airport seemed to have a soul of its own, a smiling concierge welcoming us to warm golden beaches that held promises of relaxation and romance.


Picture perfect
Instead of a fleet of airline jets, there were only two small aircrafts standing on the tarmac when we arrived. The runway was bordered by green cushioned hills framed by a never-ending stretch of light blue sky, dotted with snowy white clouds.
There was no one to hurry us across to the terminal; instead we could take our time in looking around and posing for pictures against the picture perfect background. The inside of the terminal also projected an aura of cheerfulness and even as we collected our luggage we could sense it would be a great trip.


A scenic drive
That Langkawi is first and foremost a tourist attraction was evident by the body language of the locals. From the friendly lady who helped us to get a temporary prepaid connection to the smiling tour representative who met us at the gate, everyone gave us a warm welcome.


The ride to the hotel was a scenic one and when we reached the Berjaya Resort and Spa it seemed we had found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.


Chalets on stilts
Spanning over a vast expanse, the resort boasts of winding pathways through lush greenery, delightful little wooden chalets on stilts instead of regular rooms and a private beach with emerald green water lapping at its edges.


Indeed the place is so sprawling that electrical carts are available for guests to move to and fro from their chalets. But one jarring point was the lax room service. That the tourist season was at a low at the time we visited was probably the reason for it but it was inconvenient all the same. http://www.bookmytrip.in/holidays/andman-island-101.html


A theme village
Within walking distance of the resort, there is a theme village, locally renowned as Oriental Village, which offers tourist attractions such as a cable car ride, animal enclosures, food joints offering local recipes and the mandatory souvenir shops.
The buildings are painted with vibrant hues of yellow and orange and the overall effect is of a snug little hamlet enclosed by towering mountains.


Spectacular views
The cable car ride was an unforgettable experience. The ride is conducted in two legs, covering two viewing points. At the first point there is a narrow pathway descending a little way down to the Sky Bridge.


Walking across this suspension bridge was quite a thrill as it swayed gently in the chilly winds. The view from there was spectacular, looking over to the distant mountains and the vast expanse of the sea beneath.


The setting sun conjured up brilliant hues on the rippling waters and a sense of tranquility came upon us as we stood dumbstruck, overwhelmed by Nature's beauty. Like Jack and Rose in Titanic, we felt like 'kings of the world' and got a photo taken of the two of us in that famous pose as well.


Art and beauty
Our itinerary included a half-day city tour comprising of visiting an Arts and Craft centre for Batik art, an underwater aquatic museum and the Eagle Square.


At the Batik Art centre one can learn how the Batik paintings are created and can also browse through the mind boggling collection of vibrant sketches of flora and fauna on cotton and silk fabrics, available for sale in the showroom. So attractive are these that one can hardly walk out empty-handed and we proved to be no different.


The guardian spirit
The Aquatic museum is a delight with its enormous aquarium housing different forms of marine life, from sharks, fishes and sting rays swimming overhead to penguins, seals and various reptilian species.


Another interesting photography spot is the Eagle Square, which embodies the guardian spirit of Langkawi in the form of a huge eagle statue. In fact the name Langkawi, which translates to reddish brown eagle in colloquial Malay, is derived from this majestic bird.
http://www.bookmytrip.in/packages/packages_to_andaman_is ...


Cruising through the mangroves
Another additional tour that we had opted for was the Mangrove tour. For a private tour for two, the charges are quite high but as part of a group it comes down considerably. For a party of 4 to 8 people however, the private tour turns out to be cheaper.
The tour is essentially a cruise through the mangroves with highlights such as limestone caves housing colonies of bats, eagle feeding and a fish farm where the tourists can touch and feed different species of fishes.


One type of fish that we saw, called the Archer fish, had a remarkable ability of spitting over a considerable distance in order to procure food. But the best part was cruising in the open sea, the wind in your face and the vast expanse of water ahead.
One can be excused for imagining himself to be the master of some mighty vessel set sail in search of new lands or great riches. However, if you are Indian your fantasies are all the more likely to be interrupted by your guide enthusiastically pointing out the island where the title song of the blockbuster Hindi film Kaho Naa  ...

Beach bliss
To visit Langkawi and not to enjoy a day or two at the beach would be an unforgivable sin. Walking on the warm sand barefoot, dodging a tiny crab or two scuttling by, indulging in some water sports, frolicking in the sparkling waters or simply lounging on a beach-chair, each moment was sheer bliss. http://www.bookmytrip.in/india-tourism/lakshadweep.html
