Pangkor Laut Resort (III)

The beauty of the swimming pool area overlooking the beach.

The swimming pool was besides a restaurant where we had our first lunch.
Reflection of coconut trees lining up along the clean beach with some sea villas in the background.

Nature was part of the resort where even a peacock would stroll into the restaurant.
This is a restaurant known as Uncle Lim's where it serves mainly Chinese or Nyonya dishes. This is the place where we had our breakfasts and dinners. As for lunch and dinner, we were given option to choose different restaurants. We stayed put with Uncle Lim's restaurant for 2 dinners due to the Chinese dishes.

The first dinner costs us about RM500 (RM3.50 = US$1.00) and the 2nd night's dinner was filled with mainly seafood dishes and the price shot up to RM1,050. Thank God that all meals were part of a package that I have gotten with the resort. If not, I'll cry after leaving the resort. Nothing much on food presentation but as long as it's edible and taste good, it has served the purpose.
Closer to the sea villas this time. A bit more pricey compared to my villa at the hill.

Another batch of sea villas located in the Spa Village where only customers who are 16 and above are allowed to stay. It's known for its famous spa treatment and you wouldn't want to hear children throwing their tantrum in the midst of your spa relaxation. That's the reason for having an age limit.

Louis Vutton's Thong

Lately, Louis Vutton ("LV") has been producing products that we could get easily at a fraction of the LV's price. I just cannot recall where have I seen this similar thong design somewhere in the city of Kuala Lumpur being sold in stores selling cheap stuff.

Maybe LV had ran out of ideas for out of this world's design ..........

Pangkor Laut Resort (II)

The main reception was under renovation together with 2 other restaurants. My villa is on top of the hill.

Beautiful landscaping throughout the whole resort.

The convention area turned into a reception area. Mostly were foreigners who came in the same ferry. We were served drinks while waiting for a staff to be assigned to each customer.
This tall looking structure was actually a lift from the ground level up to the walkways to hill villas. We were given the option to climb a walkway with about 50 staircase steps or take this lift but need to walk a short steep hill. I chose the latter.

My assigned staff was a Japanese guy, named Eric, who brought us to our Hill Villa through walkways specially made to access the Hill Villas. The Pavarotti Suite was just next to my villa. This suite was where the great soprano singer, Luciano Pavarotti, stayed when he was holding a concert at Pangkor Laut Resort.
The wash basin was designed exclusively.
Sunken bath area which has an opened space (no roof).

Large villa where has a king size bed with separate wardrobe area, separate shower and w/c areas.
My villa's balcony view.
The night view of the walkways to my villa. (*to be continued)

Pangkor Laut Resort (I)

Saw this thick smoke billowing somewhere in between Sungai Buloh and Rawang interchange. A fire engine overtook me going into Rawang interchange. You have to excuse the timing of the photo. Please add additional 5 hours onto it as I forgot to adjust it since I was back from Sudan (which was 5 hours behind Malaysian time).

Had been looking forward to this relaxation trip at Pangkor Laut Resort ("PLR"). Used the North-South Highway to Bidor and thereafter, the trunk roads all the way to Lumut town. Upon arrival at Lumut, went straight to register at PLR's Lumut office and was given a cooling face towel and a soothing cold drink. Your luggage is history now till you reach your villa on the other side of the island. Impeccable service.
Guided to the jetty where our air-conditioned private ferry was waiting to transport us to PLR. Fit for 40 persons but less than 20 persons were there that day.
A fishing boat having its routine trip out to the deep sea ocean.
Took us 45 minutes to reach the private island that housed PLR, just opposite of the main Pangkor Island. From afar, could see some of PLR's sea villas.

The ferry crew was piloting the ferry towards PLR's jetty. (*to be continued)

Louis Vutton's Handbag

Received the pictures via email and posted them earlier but the pictures didn't worked out too well. It seems that Louis Vutton ("LV") has produced its latest handbag design. Intending to grab one?

The funny part was the subsequent picture that came with it. During the mass exodus for the Chinese New Year festival in China, you could see people using a similar handbag design as LV's. Maybe this ladies were LV's factory workers, getting a handbag each as bonus. Alternatively, you can get one of this handbag design at Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown area....hehehe
