Прекрасный праздник Нового года в тихом отеле. Lovely New Year's Eve in a quiet hotel.

After a gallop through Kuala Lumpur, just 1 hour flight by local airlines and we felt like in an exotic village, it's about. Langkawi)
There are many construction sites on the island, many obscure ruins. But exotic nature overshadows everything)
I read a lot of reviews and couldn't decide on a hotel. And thanks to the experienced experts of Turpravda ollennka and V. A. S. , I still chose the Holiday Villa hotel
I did not lose, the hotel is a little aged, but clean, quiet and comfortable)
Or rather, family and comfortable.
Settled quickly and efficiently. They took a deposit of 500 ringgit and a tourist tax of 143 ringgit for three. Organized the 2018 meeting dinner. (we paid for it at home)
All the staff speak English, which is not bad at all. Always responsive and attentive to all questions of vacationers.
THANKS to the hotel staff - the New Year's holiday was great! )

The territory was beautifully decorated (right on the street), tables and chairs were dressed up with snow-white tablecloths, decorated with flowers, they were given a box with crackers, pipes and carnival glasses. The buffet was bursting with gourmet dishes and seafood, a lamb was cooked on a spit, there was a lot of everything and it was delicious. They called for ice cream by ringing a bell! Idea, because it's hot outside)
They organized a concert with colorful dances and live music. And at 12 (their time) they surprised me with colorful fireworks right on the beach! ) Everything was thought out for a good holiday! )
Breakfasts are varied, always a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, there was enough food and space for everyone.
Our room was Superior for three, spacious, but again, the closet, very small, no shelves, only hangers. Water gave out 2 bottles of 1.5 liters, the room has everything you need.
Housekeeping, above all praise! ) Cleanliness and order.
The location of the hotel, I would say, is excellent, a little away from the main Cenang beach, which is beautiful in the photo, but in fact, like a huge market. . .
Let's go back to the hotel beach. There is a bar that serves drinks and snacks all day long. The price tag is about 2 times more expensive than across the street from the hotel. Seafood is overpriced everywhere, it's not clear why...
The sea without waves, the water is very warm (surprisingly for January)
Sun loungers are good, towels can be changed at any time of the day.
And of course, a bunch of cigarette butts in the sand under the sun loungers (
This, of course, is the fault of the tourists, but the cleaning is not very good, and there are no ashtrays.
The beach seems to be public, but far from the tourist center, strangers sometimes come in, but the guards immediately urge you not to take sun loungers and keep order.
The biggest drawback of the beach is sewage flowing directly into the sea from the nearest construction site, residential buildings and restaurants (((
Near the hotel there are many restaurants and shops, exchange offices are also not far away. Change the currency with them (the rate is lower at the hotel), purchases can only be made for ringgits. There are Duty Free shops in the center, good selection and prices. Alcohol and cigarettes according to the passport. Near the Oceanarium.

We walked, but you can also take a taxi for 15 riggit. Taxi prices are stable, do not cheat, which is very nice.
A half hour drive from the hotel to the sky bridge and amusement park, a must see!
Thanks to the Internet, and to the guide Sanjar (there are coordinates), we went with him on an excursion "mangrove forest". The nature is wonderful, we fed monkeys, eagles, visited a fish farm, watched bats in the caves. Everyone liked it very much! )
And to spite the airline and the tour operator (after all the troubles), we rested and gained emotions. We liked Malaysia, with its heat, exoticism, smiling and very pleasant people! )
