Rest and relax @ Pangkor Laut Resort

Having been away from Hawaii , I truly missed the smell of the ocean and the sound of the waves...... I was extremely excited when a few of us decided to go on a trip to Pangkor Laut over Valentine's week! Perfect timing to rest and relax at one of my dream destinations in Malaysia! I am not lying to you when I say "dream" because I have always wanted to go there when I was younger but couldn't afford too...... boo* But now, with their new packages, I finally made it there...teehee....not just with a few friends but also with my special someone:)

After a restless and bouncy 2 hour drive to the Lumut jetty, we finally arrived at the reception counter for Pangkor Laut resort. The interesting thing is that, you register and check in at the Lumut jetty Pangkor Laut resort counter before you board the ferry....it's actually very efficient! why? because once you arrive at the resort, you receive information on the island and you automatically get to enjoy the resort already!! Smart eh!

The waiting area next to the reception counter

You have to cross this huge road to the jetty, but the porters will take your luggage for you

Boarding.... the boat crew was amazing! I have to add, there are people sending you off from Lumut jetty and a welcome crew ready and waiting at the Pangkor Laut jetty!!! That's what I call first class service right there...

The view as you enter the Pangkor Laut jetty

Exotic waiting area just for the shuttle! Basically surrounded by naturally beautiful architecture...

The villa was spacious and pretty....there was even a huge bathtub with SEA SALT provided! WOW!

The view from the Hill Villa was breathtaking especially in the morning

Going on this trip was truly a gastronomical adventure for us...you know why? Under our package,we get 6 meals, and each meal is inclusive of one appetizer, one main course, and one dessert......my eyes popped out when the waiter told me that......OMG! Here are some pictures to tantalize your taste buds even further....

You not only get to eat delicious food at every restaurant, but you will get to enjoy the view from each seating area you are at...all their restaurants are open air.... my seal of approval right there!

My first appetizer out of my 6 meals... hehehehe..malay spring roll....

Ben's salad..so much cheese! they clearly don't stinge on the good stuff....another nod of approval...
our desserts which I finished! Yes...I am THAT greedy!

And while we were eating, there were hornbills flying around...one with nature...
We had both dinners at Uncle Lim's....

Delicious Chinese food!!!!! And we got to choose three side dishes as our main course...are you guys hungry now?

Another one of our lunches at Chapman's bar....

My amazingly huge char kway teow which tasted "oh so yummy"! Look at that huge prawn!

And our vantage point was magnificant(I am running out of adjectives here!!hahahah)

I didn't get to take pictures of the huge breakfast buffet spread... Whatever you can think or imagine of breakfast, you got it right there...they have everything from dim sum, to roti canai, to fresh fruit juice, to muesli cup, and the list is endless if you don't stop me!!!! Another perfect view of the sea from where I was sitting

You are probably wondering what you can do besides eating right?!? For a city girl like me, I have to admit, I don't think I can stay more than 3 days because I will be bored stiff... I can rest and relax for awhile..but after that, I want to be on the GO! I know...it's like that with Type A personality types....aiks! but for those 3 days, what I did was kick back and spend most of my time in the pool or at Emerald Bay(one of the prettiest beaches I have ever seen)

Feels like the pool joins to the sea...

Sun setting at Emerald Bay

The library area..you have beds of all kinds to read at....inside and right under the sun...

Besides all the water activities you can do, they have jungle trekking(which I didn't partake in because I forgot to bring sports shoes, typical city gal!), cooking classes, and day trips to Pangkor island. Being there for three to four days is a perfect amount of time to get some R and R

And another thing I have to highlight about the place would be their courteous and friendly staff...I give their service a 6 star...that's the highest right?!? The staff at Pangkor Laut resort are always smiling and happy...it makes my day chatting with them! The best part is that they come from all over the world...such as Japan and even Germany!

This trip to Pangkor Laut resort is one that will be ingrained in my memory for years to come for giving me such utter relaxation and laziness!hehehehe.... You get pampered all over the place not just by the facilities and infrastructure, but also by the staff there..... So, I advise those who haven't been there to save up, and go for an experience of a lifetime! It's worth it....

I am planning to go for my honeymoon this September but I am confused which villa to take. Any suggestions?

Mei Sze said...

Sofiah: Hhmm...it really depends on your budget but the one I took was beautiful as it overlooks the sea. Ask for the seaview villa rather than the garden villa. Hope this helps:)

I think that everything posted was very reasonable.
But, what about this? what if you were to write a awesome title?
I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added a title to maybe grab folk's attention?
I mean "Rest and relax @ Pangkor Laut Resort" is kinda boring.
You could look at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create news titles to get viewers to click. You might add a related video or a related picture or two to grab people excited about everything've got to
say. Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.
