Weekend Getaway

Pangkor Laut Resort has this cheap, off-season package for Malaysians which we took advantage of last weekend. And really, it's a pretty decent deal if you're into sun, surf & sand. And since there was nothing else available which didn't cost an arm and a leg (speaking as a middle class Malaysian), one had better be into sun, surf & sand to enjoy the place.

Being a 5-star resort that lived up to it's name, service and facilities were stellar. And since 3 meals a day were covered in the package, there really were no hidden costs involved.

Lovely place which I would recommend for a short stay since staying longer could mean that one is sunburnt to a crisp. We left Catriona with her nanny for this trip so that we could both get away.

On a hammock @ Emerald Bay, the beach on the other side of the island used for swimming.

There was this family there that I kept snapping since they were such a good photo op

Lunch at the beach. Dinner ON the beach goes for RM500 per pax.
