Тихий, спокойный отдых Quiet, relaxing holiday

The name of The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa (formerly Sheraton Perdana) speaks for itself. The hotel is located, as it were, in a dead end of the eastern part of the island (on the back of the hotel, there are mountains overgrown with thickets and there is no passage). The hotel area is really large and green (104 acres of its own park in close proximity to the capital of Langkawi - the city of Kuahu - about 10 minutes on foot). I did not appreciate the kitchen at the hotel, because they took a package of accommodation without meals. Our room was a standard one (in a building), not a bungalow type, but spacious enough, with a shower cabin and a bathroom. On the balconies there are trestle beds, which contributes to a rather pleasant evening pastime. At 15 min. walk at a calm pace nah-sya the largest supermarket on the island "Billion" with a department of alcoholic beverages "duty free". I would like to note that the prices for alcohol on the island are pleasantly pleasing, unlike Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. On the way from the hotel to the center of Kuah nah-Xia Jetty point from where it is proposed to sail to the nearby cities of Malaysia, as well as to Thailand (Koh Samui, Phuket, Phi Phi, etc. ). Upon arrival at the airport, I recommend that you grab information about the island, and there you can also find information about nearby food outlets, which can not always be called the loud name "restaurant", most likely it is a snack bar. . . Prices in this kind of establishments are very different from the prices in hotel restaurants. There are 4 pools in the hotel: a rock pool (with a fountain in the center of the pool itself), a central pool (with a bar) and 2 children's pools. There are no children's slides and animations on site. The hotel beach is quite long, clean, there are no local people on it, only hotel guests. The sand on the beach is light golden, not snow-white, there are other hotels on the island with sand that differs in color and size. Conclusion: the hotel offered in Langkawi in its slightly above average price category (there are also more expensive ones: Datai, Tanjung Rhu Resort, Four Seasons) is quite good, large territory, large rooms, lack of people on the territory and on the beach, secluded, because . does not have a through passage, for a quiet, relaxing holiday and enjoyment from the constant incessant cod of cicadas and birdsong. Yes! On the territory of the hotel, in comparison with the Mutiara hotel, there are no wild monkeys and other creeping creatures walking around, of which there are quite a few on the island (we saw for ourselves). For a 5-day holiday - normal, then the hotel Casa del Mar was chosen (4 nights / 5 days).
