Malaysia here we come

Once again I am asking all you in Trip Advisor your honest advice. We are two couples who thought that we would try Malaysia in late Febuary or early March. The plan is to leave blight, stay 2/3 days in Kuala Lumpur and then 6/7 days in a really nice hotel, something like The Novel in Pucket or The Raddision in Goa, both were recommended by people of Trip Advisor.

The questions we would like some answers to are Weather, best part of Malaysia to go after KP where we can relax, good food and at least 4/5 star.

Please note that we are all 50 plus but can still drink nice wines and enjoy really good food.

Finally the golden sands in Pentang was recommended but I am not sure

Malaysia here we come

Jackboy ,

KL is one of my favorite cities in the far east, hotels that I have stayed in and are superb vale for money are : Mandarin Oriental, The Regent, and Traders (great value the club rooms and well worth paying the extra money , can highly recommend the park view club rooms great view of the twin towers)

Feb /March weather should be good for Pakor Laut Lovely place but a bit pricey,

Penang island is a bit of a tourist trap but the E%26amp;O Hotel George Town is a treasure of a hotel best rooms are any of the premier suites or if your feeling flush one of the writers suites, Langkawi a lovely island, and my first choice would be the Tanjung Rhu this hotel is SO nice cannot recommend it enough, the Datai is of course worth consideration but I prefer the Andaman its sister hotel .

All of these hotels are exceptional have good restaurants and are very suited to people in our age group(late 40鈥檚 and early 50鈥檚)

(Beware of the golden sands this hotel is in dire need of a refurb)

Hope this helps

If you don%26#39;t want to stay at The Golden Sands in Batu you might like to consider the Park Royal further up the main road, costs a bit more but its worth it.

Langkawi, well years ago it was also a Raddison resort, its still one of the top resorts on the island.

Travelling in late feb/march you won%26#39;t have any weather worries, but do expect the occassional rain, it is the tropics after all.

As has been recommended, for KL the Mandarin Oriental is a superb choice, you%26#39;ll love the pool overlooking the park in KLCC.

Plus the best views of Petronas twin towers.

Wines can be quite pricey in Malaysia, good news is that Langkawi is duty free. There is a good selection available at all the resorts. The alternative is to visit some of the local suppliers and chose your favourites. They import them from all parts of the world, prices are often better than in the UK.

For luxury on Langkawi, consider the Datai, Andaman, Four Seasons and Tanjung Rhu Resort.


Sorry, meant to say that Tanjung Rhu Resort was a former Raddison.
