During our long trip in Asia we decided to stop only for one day In Langkawi - very much recommendet island for recreation. The most interesting was the bridge high in the sky above the jungle - 700 m above sea level, one you can reach on a cable car / 2000 m length/ Increadible view from the top of the mountain! So the decision was - we have to look for a hotel close to the cable car station and there it was - the oriental village and the hotel Geopark on the territory of a real geopark. Booking the hotel - the doouble room was 33 Euros per night - we based our decision on the atractive price rather on the services offered by the hotel. The great surprise was that the hotel was just opposite the stop of the cable car. The hotel was perfet is size, the room was BIG, the beds - extremely confortable, the bathroom -great, The view from the room was super - the top of the mountain with the cablecar station on the top. There is a shuttle minivan to the nearest beach and resort where you can use the swimming pool, if you decide to walk back - the beach is just 10 minutes walk from the hotel. Another 15 minutes walk is an eco path up the mountain to reach a beautiful waterfall. About 25 minutes walk is the harbour with a nice marina and several very good restaurants. Now the best surprise - the island is a tax free zone and all around the hotel there are shops offering not only souveniers but drinks, excellent choclate etc. as well . For the kids there is a small zoo and many other attractions. It is worth staying there at least 3 days!!!!
The service was excellent and the food offered in the reastaurants in the oriental village and on the parking lot reastaurant was perfect!!!
