Stayed at Swiss Garden Resort & Spa Damai Laut - Damai Laut - Lumut, Malaysia.
|
We visited Pangkor. It's beautiful in a laid-back way, but does not really encourage day-tripping. Most of the ferry passengers zipped away to their self-contained resorts. The easiest way to see the whole place is to ask for a round-island trip at about RM40. There are few 'touristy' places, but the northern beaches are more quaint. A walk from the main town to Kampung Pinang Kechil (about 2 km) illustrates the rural way of life that still pervades the island. If you don't want to make the longish trip to Lumut, there's a beautiful beach called Tanjung Sinangin just north of the Swiss Garden Hotel. Where you would turn left for the final track to the resort, follow the road for another couple miles. Tg Senangin looks like a favourite with the locals.

Stayed at Bintang Warisan Hotel - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
For those looking for an excellent location of a hotel, Bintang Warisan is the answer. Major shopping malls are at the door steps...Times Square is less than 10 minutes away should you decide to catch a midnight movie like I did.
Overall, I'm really satisfied with my stay at the hotel and will patronize the hotel again in the near future.

Stayed at Nova, Hotel - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
Getting around KL is basically via taxi since I am here only for the weekend. Never take taxis who are waiting around for they charge fixed price instead of meter based. Basically Puduraya bus terminal, Chinatown are places where these cabbies hang out, so you should walk out to the main street to hail a cab. Food is great for I ate ard Jln alor area, the street I guess in front of Hotel Nova, lots of variety, tasty, and cheap. Think these are better than going inside the restaurant located along the same street, which I ate once before and don't find them as great. Can also go to Chinatown where again you will find streetside hawkers where throngs of people eat there. Would not say so for the restaurants there, since they are relatively more expensive I guess. After which I proceeded to have a good foot massage located on 2nd floor of Swiss Inn hotel where a 40min foot masage cost only 30 RM. Additional RM10 for10 min of back massage if you like, and ear candling too if you prefer at the cost of RM40-50.
In case you should reach KL in the wee hours like I did, and your hotel check in is only after 2pm, do proceed to Ancasa hotel near pudu terminal and ask if they have vacancy for day rate, RM 50 only, or take a cab to season view at Bukit Bintang to check the same.

Stayed at Hilton Kuching - Kuching, Malaysia.

Walking along the river promenade was terrific. CyberCity & City Laundry near the hotel were great! We enjoyed the services of Borneo Adventures on our overnight longhouse visit; overall, they delivered!

Stayed at Grand Continental Kuala Lumpur - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

KL is great. Go early to book the visit to the Skybridge, shop at MidValley. We hired a car from Orix, good machine, very reasonable price, got to drive to the Cameron Highlands. Road system (once you get out of KL itself) are excellent.

Stayed at Puri Melaka, Hotel - Melaka (Malacca), Malaysia.
|
Melacca was a joy, most of our sightseeing was done on foot in and around the old township.
A 1hr ride on the flowered tricyles cost us 40myr and was delightful. Take our advice don't miss an evening meal at the Baba House this was without a doubt the best meal we had in our 5 weeks holiday.

Stayed at Renaissance, Kuala Lumpur Hotel - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
Just across the street is the railway station to take you to all points of interest. A five minutes walk and you are at KLCC Petronas Towers and shopping center. Close to the railway station is Hard Rock Cafe KL with great staff and good food (happy hour from 7 to 9 pm moderate beer).

There are a lot of nice foods around not only the local coffee shops but restaurants.
I highly recommend the Espire restaurant in Sugei Wang Shopping Mall.

Stayed at Corus hotel Kuala Lumpur - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
|
Well placed for KLCC and LRT but not so convenient for Bukit Bintang area. KLCC great if you like shopping malls, but there are plenty more to choose from. In the evening Hard Rock Cafe still buzzing and liked ambience of Q-bar at Westin. Beach bar heaving but too young a crowd for my taste. Bangsa didn't seem as lively as a couple of years ago.
