WOWAWEEWA!!! Langkawi, Heaven in Malaysia

What more can a girl ask for? So it's my turn to report on the blog, and how appropriate. I thought it couldn't get any better than Ko Lipe, but now we are staying at a 5 star resort on Langkawi as my present.

We arrived at the resort and had the concierge take our bags to our palace - chalet 3205 over looking the Cascade pool and surrounded by a lake. The room is huge! We have a balcony, lounge area, tv, desk and work area. The bed is the size of some of the previous hotel rooms we have stayed in, it's about 3m x 3m! We have a huge walk in bathroom with mini bar, fridge, cupboards etc, there is then another door leading in to the shower and toilet area. The chalets are made from dark wood and resemble Malay houses built on stilts. The decor and wood engravings are exquisite. We have some sort of throw thing on the bed with a big gold metal pipe on either side: every evening they come and make the bed for you and give you more free toiletries, drinking water, fruit and a english newspaper! The staff are wonderful and have been trained very well.

At the moment I'm chilling under a bonsai tree on the lawn alongside the beach recovering (again!) from my very decadent and extravagent breakfast! We get brought tea and coffee before digging into the fruit- the most sweetest and juiciest papaya! Oh how I miss paw-paw! So many things in Malaysia remind us of SA. There is also watermelon, pineapple, melon and bananas. Then onto the dried fruit and nuts, cereals and wonderful selection of yoghurts. There is a smoothie man who makes anything you ask for, with any fruit you want. There is a great selection of breads and health breads with different jams and spreads. They have one of those large oven toasters which makes the toast just perfect! Then you have the eggs, anyway you want, just ask the chef. Fried, boiled, scrambled, omelette, sunny-side-up, mixed with onions and mushrooms, anything you want! The only bummer is no bacon... This is muslim country! So beef bacon and chicken sausages. Next onto the waffles and pancakes: scrumptious! Then onto the banana bread, danish pastries, croissants, doughnuts, scones with cream and jam, and muffins. I don't think that I'll be moving from this spot for a while! All I see is one horizontal stripe of sky, then green mountain, then blue still Andaman sea, then a huge strech of white sand full of shells, then the lawn, and then my toes at the end of my deck chair. And the cherry on the top, we have vanilla coke (OMG Luke is over the moon) and Top Deck (yes remember Top Deck!) waiting for us in our chalet! This place is just full of all things nice!
