QUOTE(alexis_wll @ Oct 9 2007, 05:34 PM) er.... i think mangrove tour worth the money.... eagle feeding is nearer(no need pack with mat salleh to take picture), go to seaside also (island hopping they drop us to 3 seaside,the best part is play the paddle boat(at duno what lake,a lot of monkey,forgot name jor,need to walk 10minutes, same with titiwangsa paddle boat i play when i was small), then got food to eat... feed some fish... go crocodile cave, bat cave... if u r lucky boatman will caught fish then bbq with him lo... your car rental guy n boatman seem honest n nice. is it arrange by mr din as in your previous post? if yes, i think i will make arrangement with him too.i think u have 6pax can take package from airport car rental guy,bargain lo. u can always shake head. i learnt it there when i rent car, i shake head and walk away they give me the price i want. whatever it is,people can give girl at price rm80, i think u can bargain nearly till that price for 6pax  hehehe...good luck...car rent at rm60 very less choice unless u r very good at bargain like aunty at pasar... my kancil(M) rent at rm40(decrease from rm50), they offer rm50 for kelisa(M),sentra(M) rm80, iswara (A) rm70, wira i think rm80... bring ur own portable audio player better, over there only got 2radio channel and malay songs only... insurans u wan to buy also can,depends on u,i think is cheat money only la... er... hotel i only stay at "langkapuri",as my previous post, the lady serves me well... rm70 per night,air cond,heater,tv,fridge,two single bed(me n gf sleep one bed only),2sofa,one make up table,2towels,hot water upon request,one drinking water 1.5L,2glass,got a few soaps. rm90 is for seaview..but she din give us cause she said we can walk out from the room see the seaview, it's very near to the sea... morning time can see some ships sailing... got others price at rm33 per room and rm55,rm60, i think it's not that okay... langkapuri beach resort (along pantai cenang): 019-4499237, 04-9551202,9553453, fax 04-9551959  |

QUOTE(rickrick @ Oct 12 2007, 04:18 PM) hey guyz i wanna know if langkasuka resort is a good place to stay i just back from langkawi n stayed at langkasuka resort. as what stimix says, the water is muddy. i dont even dare swim there. but the beach is ok n u can watch sunset. room i got is quite big n clean though. service is ok but both western n local breakfast doesnt give much of choice.got mine at RM700+ 3D2N online booking with 2 rooms for 6 person abit dissapoint with the mangroove tour though. the tour is arrange by mr dino who is same as alexis. for the price of rm160 per pax, except for the food, the tour is kinda boring making me think island hopping might be more interesting. maybe its a different tour guide thats why the whole tour becomes boring. the guide just bring us boating around the river, showed us eagle feeding where he just pour chicken skin into the water n let the eagles grab them, took us to crocodile cave whic is just a small cave n show us some bats on top of the caves then to floating restoran for view the fish farm n eat there then just take us around the island n thats it. the only two things which interest me is the cable car at mt cincang + the hanging bridge(which is closed due to "maintenance") n the telaga tujuh waterfall which is a very beautiful place.

stimix ... maybe few reasons kua. maybe its due to 1st day raya so no mood bring us to far far place n waste too much time. maybe the guide not so good to entertain customer. alexis did say her tour guide brought them to bat cave which ours didnt. also maybe the tour starts at 2pm due to raya prayers in the morning so not enough time ... bottomline i do feel the tour is not worth rm160.
car i got is an iswara. power window not working n aircon not cold enough. charge is rm60 per day ... either its because due to peak season or i was conn lor. my advice for forumers who is going langkawi ... check the car before u confirm(pay) n check the tour route before pay. |
