Lakwatserong Tsinelas: LANGKAWI

My summer made me discover a favorite island. And it exists by the name of Langkawi. Why? Beer is cheap and the whole island is tax-free. But more than the given vices of cheap cigarette, alcohol and food, there are natural attractions and landmarks worthy of visit.

LAST MINUTE PAMPERING AT CENTURY LANGKASUKA RESORT

Scheduled to depart in the afternoon bound for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia then back to Manila, we dropped by the sister resort of Century Langkawi Beach Resort that is a kilometer-away from the Langkawi International Airport.

We had a scheduled spa treatment hours before my flight. But the spa treatment became just one of the activities we are to indulge ourselves into.

DREAMHOUSE AT CENTURY LANGKAWI BEACH RESORT

A wooden house surrounded by a tropical rainforest and atop a private beach featuring beautiful French doors that open to private balconies and where a breathe of fresh air is conventional, makes the last setting of my vacation in Langkawi Island, Malaysia.

The Century Langkawi Beach Resort Villas made my dream house come into reality. It may not be titled under my name but at least I now know how it feels to live on such when realized.

BEER, BEACH AND THE BLACKTIP REEF SHARKS OF PULAU PAYAR MARINE PARK

The emerald green water was apparent even from a distance. An hour of ferry ride from Kuah jetty booked through a tour agency, Ekomegah Holidays, we arrived at Malaysia’s oldest Marine Park sanctuary – The Pulau Payar Marine Park.

Unaccounted cans of beer and shared stories. I look into the horizon and stared blankly as the skies transform in orange hues to total darkness. After the golden sunset made its appearance, the melodramatic me surfaced.

The cruise was more than just a shared meal, a dinner to be specific. It was a fleeting yet memorable experience. Limestone karst, a snorkelling and swimming area and at times colourful fishing vessels came in as an inevitable view cruising the straits between Dayang Bunting and the Tuba Islands, as well as some panoramic southern islands.

THE CENTRALLY LOCATED BAHAGIA HOTEL LANGKAWI

The vicinity is surrounded by commercial establishments. A souvenir shop at one corner sells the cheapest notwithstanding the whole island itself being duty-free. The hawker stalls and restaurants serving halal food is positioned at an adjacent part of where our transient abode on the first few days in Langkawi is.

Located at the heart of the commercial district of downtown Kuah, Hotel Bahagia Langkawi will serve as our quarters for exploring this side of Malaysia.

The unassuming façade of the hotel and the reception area that reminds me of a Chinese restaurant interior details cannot be judged outright. This 3-star hotel has a different kind of market, with its main strength being its strategic location.
