Booking for a short getaway to Langkawi for the CNY break is proving to be an ardous task, everywhere is either full, or too bloody expensive. Rooms in Casa Del Mar which is only so-so lar by KL standards starts from RM1k plus per room night and let's not even mention the Four Season or its like.
Me, I'm trying to get my family into a reasonably priced and I'm sure that'll get us a basic looking chalet, leave your pretensions at the door type. My only hope is I can play up my charms with the Reservation officer and get us upgraded! Keeping my fingers crossed!!
I called an old buddy in Langkawi and mentioned the Sunset Beach Resort but that too is full booked, it's chalet type, and the last Sabrina heard they don't even have a phone in the room, and their rate was in the region of RM400 plus! Crazy! For that price I can easily get a 5* right here!
Not many know this but I was once worked with the Pelangi Beach Resort Langkawi KL Sales office for about 3-4 years back in the early 90's, they were once in the RM250-300 range but now their lowest rates are around RM500, that'll get u a Superior Gardenview at most, and nope breakfast is not included .
So I'll get back to trying to find us a good 3d/2n package and hopefully my travel agent will have better luck. I'll keep you updated on how this turns out!
