Симпатичный отель Nice hotel

Unfortunately, the information is a bit old, but my friend visits those parts with enviable constancy and says that practically nothing has changed.
We were on Langavi Island in February 2008, the weather was varied, both the sun and the rain, in short, as always in the tropics. The hotel is located near the beach, consists of several three-story buildings connected into one building. We had a room on the third floor at the very end of the corridor, next to the stairs, going down which you go out onto the path to the beach. The architecture is such that, being on the balcony of your room, you do not see any of the neighbors, triangular ledges. The walls of the building are braided with vines, there is an abundance of vegetation, even on the balcony you have such your own flower bed with bougainvillea (sometimes I watered it myself, something just grows - you need to water it! ). The room is large, comfortable, and given that the three of us flew from Siberia with the appropriate winter clothes, everything fit perfectly in the closets. A kettle, cups, regularly replenished stocks of tea and instant coffee are available, a refrigerator is also in place.
About breakfast. If it is possible to take tickets without breakfast, then it is better to use it - three steps from the hotel there is a street where restaurants with a wide variety of cuisines are in abundance. These are our personal troubles, but the Malaysian cuisine seemed to us boring, sugary-tasteless (! ), My guys ate pancakes for breakfast at the hotel, I tried to make a vegetable salad with olives - there was a whole tureen of butter with olives. But maybe things have changed for the better since then.

Beach. Glorious, sandy, gentle. Hunting was only for sunbeds near the bar - they are in the shade from the trees. The sea is wonderful in the morning, but in the afternoon something was biting, I called it "biting plankton" because I could not see the enemy. It seems that this phenomenon depends on the season.
Swimming pool. Until seven in the evening, later they will ask you not to disturb the routine, although the depth is nonsense, 1.30, it seems. Nearby is a "paddling pool" for kids and a jacuzzi, carcasses that way for seven or eight. Judging by the information arrow, there is a special pool "for ladies" somewhere under the roof, my guys drove me there for reconnaissance, but somehow I did not get ready. Apparently, this is for Muslim ladies, of whom there were in abundance, moreover, from countries with orders much stricter than in Malaysia. Curiosity still gnaws at me to this day, as a lady had breakfast with her face completely covered with this rag. In the usual pool only once splashed madam in full dress, apparently, did not read the sign in the lobby in time. Compatriots met at the hotel, no revelry was noticed.
Taxi. Prices are strictly fixed. In hotels, large stores, prices for routes hang, drivers amaze with the amazing accuracy with which they carry riders. A friend who worked in Malaysia for about five years said that at one time, in connection with the complaints of tourists about taxi drivers, the state took this matter under very strict control, apparently, we "reaped its benefits", we liked it! : ) By taxi we got to interesting points on the map of the island - a cable-stayed bridge with a cable car, the capital town of Kuah, etc. A wonderful tour of the mangroves booked at the hotel.
A stone's throw from the hotel there is a shop and a rental office, the prices were quite moderate, but you need to remember that the traffic is left-handed, the Indians cope with it, of course, but the Europeans sometimes "stupid" at the crossroads.

Before the Aquarium and Duty Free, they calmly walked for twenty to twenty-five minutes. The aquarium can be interesting only for penguins in a two-story pavilion, that is, you go down in a glass corridor and see how this bird swims cheerfully under water. There's this amazing variety of penguins with long yellow brow feathers! In the rest - so, entertain the children.
In general, the hotel is comfortable, quiet, no complaints about the staff.
