Where to Stay in Langkawi: Temple Tree Resort, Langkawi.

Ever wonder how it feels like to live like those day in the colonial time. Na, you don't need time machine, all you need is to buy your flight ticket to Langkawi and book yourself a nice stay at Temple Tree Resort. With amazing arrays of different houses, no wonder I felt like I was transported back in time.

Was I?  Temple Tree is not your typical go-to resort, it is a place of indulgence.

People are just friendly here, from my favourite barrista Adi and Mas to the managers who made me feel really welcome- James and Andy are perfect. Not the just the frontline but everyone- even the room service ladies. I get the chance to get to know everyone considering how long I've stayed here.

The atmosphere here is very calming amidst the abode of beautiful swarm. I just sit down with my novel and rest my weary soul. That's how calming Temple Tree Resort Langkawi is.

It's great for me but I bet it's perfect for honeymooners and loving couple who need time off from work and busy life. Since I volunteered at Lassie Langkawi- we always come to the Straits Club to have a cuppa and laugh out to rest from our tiring times. Perfect place, friendly people- what more reason not to stay here at Temple Tree Resort Langkawi? 

I've stayed in different rooms and houses here in Temple Tree Resort Langkawi. I've experienced Colonial, Plantation and estate houses. Which I've been told that these houses are actually real houses taken from all around malaysia and restored to become part of the resort. How amazing is that?

For you guys not from Asia, this would be a great change of perspective considering how the houses here are relatively ASian and definitely not your typical hotel-like-stay. Would I recommend it? Yes definitely- especially to couple and honeymooners who seek a romantic getaway.

Have a chill here in Langkawi and stay with Temple Tree, where the land is always green, the sky is blue and the breeze blowing. That's the magic of Langkawi and it will be even more magical when you stay at Temple Tree Resort Langkawi.

I bet it's gonna a whole new experience!

Say hi for me to Andy, James, Mas and Adi whenever you guys decided to stay there. They are amazing bunch of people!

Must do things in Langkawi: Sunset Cruise with Tropical Charters!

Never in my life thinking that I would be able to be on a cruise, what more twice in a row in one trip! That’s the specialty of Tropical Charters cruise company, great at their sunset cruise and even more fascinating on their Day Cruise(More on that one my another post). How did it happened?

This is how it happened

I was just lazing around on the beach when suddenly ‘Makcik’ Vanessa (everyone in Langkawi likes to call her Makcik for some reason :P) said those magical words:

“You want to go on Tropical Charters cruise? I can get you ON”. She asked eloquently.

I was like “Hell yeah, please do!” I answered with my mischievous grin. Who wouldn’t want to cruise eh?– then it happened, I was in awestruck; Hello, I am going on cruise, I Rayyan Haries going on a sunset cruise! What more exciting than that, besides my constant travel! :P Haha

The day started with us gathering at the port at Awana Porto Malai, departing time was 5pm (I was told to be there earlier just in case if there is changes). I was surprised to see the whole team to be down there, from their crew members to their marketing people, not because that I was there-it's their common practice to welcome clients onboard- that to me is really a great strategy. I felt really welcomed!

Onboard Tropical Charters cruise, they have free-flow bar from juices to alcoholic drink – I had a great time drinking virgin mocktails! Their crew members were very friendly, attentive to your needs and some can dance too! Onboard were 2 medicals too, just in case you feel seasick or require medical attention, they are well prepared!

The cruise took about 2 hours till the sunset appears on the shorelines of Langkawi Island. I also had the chance to dine on the cruise, at Tropical Charters, food were prepared fresh onboard; you have grilled chicken, chicken satay and fish- all grilled on the open sea on the boat deck. There were so many foods, I don’t even think I can walk after that, okay I can but I was walking or should I say dragging my foot like Garfield! Rest assured I was laying on my back all the way till they board us back at the port.

Along the journey, we passed through Pulau Dayang Bunting (Maiden’s lake island) and some smaller island which were fascinating. It was really beautiful as the dark sheds down slowly into darkness. Boyyy what an evening!

If you are curious on what your must do things in Langkawi must include- put in Tropical Charters in it if you are party-goer, young travelers or just a solo backpacker like me. The price is RM 260 per pax, you might wanna ask your travel agency for an updated price or just contact Tropical Charters Cruise. 

*Tropical Charters Cruise is weather and sea-condition permitted.

Till then, keep on traveling peeps and travel safe.
