Pangkor Island Beach Resort

pangkor-island-beach-resort-1

On the quiet island of Pangkor you will find several beautiful resorts, as well as multiple affordable guesthouses. One of the most popular resorts on the island is Pangkor Island Beach Resort. The resort is located on the north-western side of the island, along a lovely bay with a private beach. It is a beautiful resort; well designed and it has a cozy but also luxurious vibe. The rooms are great and depending on the type of room you have, you also have a stunning view over the bay (the sea, the garden and the pool). The resort is especially suitable for families with children as they offer a great selection of daily fun things to do. Fortunately, this doesn’t mean the resort is filled with noisy kids.

The resort comes with two beautiful pools; the main pool and a smaller pool so guests at the distant wing of the hotel do not have to walk a large distance. From the pool you have a beautiful view across the bay.

The resort comes with several restaurants; where they mainly serve Western cuisine. If you get tired of the food after a couple of days, you can always look for food outside the resort. The resort is not far from a few villages, which will take you 20 minutes maximum by motorbike. Just keep heading south, until you arrive at one of the local restaurants along the beach (for example at Nipah Bay/Coral Beach). At the resort you are also able to grab a taxi. In the evening you can enjoy a cocktail at the lovely lounge bar at the resort. There is a live band on a daily basis which will perform in the big lounge (Golden Oriole).

The resort also organizes several daily activities; including a quite a few activities just for children. Every day a special newsletter will slide under your door into your room in which you can read what you can do during the day. This may vary from a walk in the jungle to snorkeling; or from spotting the beautiful hornbill to visiting Pangkor Village.

The resort has its own jetty service. In Lumut harbor a jetty will leave at fixed times. When you made reservations at the resort, you do not need to buy a ticket. The jetty takes about 30 minutes to get from the harbor to the private resort harbor.

When you want spend a few days on Pangkor Island and don’t mind to pay a bit more to stay at a luxurious resort, we strongly recommend Pangkor Island Beach Resort. The island itself is one of the most beautiful islands in Malaysia. Pangkor is about a 3 hours’ drive from Kuala Lumpur by bus or rental car.

Bayview Beach Resort

bayview-beach-resort-penang-1

At the edge of the coastal town of Batu Ferringhi on the island of Penang you will find the pleasant and very affordable Bayview Beach Resort. It is an excellent resort, mainly because of the great price to quality ratio. The resort is very suitable if you are traveling with kids.

The resort has a beautiful garden right in front of the beach, and an enormous pool. At Penang Island you usually go out for the entire day exploring the island, so it is great to be able to cool off a bit in the pool in the afternoon.

Bayview Beach Resort is located on the edge of Batu Ferringhi, which is a good location. The beach of the resort is beautiful, but the ocean isn’t crystal clear (same goes for all waters surrounding Penang).

In front of the resort you will find a small supermarket, a small travel agency and a couple of souvenir stores. Other than that you will find two bus stops in front of the resort; one for buses going to Georgetown and one for buses going to Teluk Bahang. You also have a taxi stand in front of the resort, where you can grab a taxi for a fixed price (taxi’s in Penang usually don’t use meters).

From the resort you can walk to the center of Batu Ferringhi within 5 minutes. Across the road you will find a lot of small stores, which usually don’t open until after sunset. At the resort you can order a taxi to the airport, or to the harbor. This is especially handy when you depart at an early hour.

The lobby of the hotel is massive. The rooms are pretty simple, but come with all the necessary amenities. All rooms come with a balcony, of which the more expensive rooms come with a stunning ocean view. Breakfast is pretty simple but fine; the breakfast room has a nice view onto the pool and the garden. Within the pool there is a fun bar where you can enjoy a drink while still being in the water. The garden is really big, and come with a lot of beach beds. The beach itself is fine, but not a great place to get a tan (because of the various beach activities). You are better off doing this in the garden.
