Pangkor Laut is a beutiful Island. I recommend having Dinner-on-the-rocks in Emerald Bay. Watching then sun go down while being in this beutiful location was very romantic. A massage at the Spa Village is also a must.

Do not miss the complimentary jungle trecking with "Uncle Yip." It is a great way to learn more about Malaysia's abundant nature.

A great destination for a relaxing beach holiday where your every whim is catered to. All of the restaurants on the island are high quality and the wine lists are very impressive for a relatively remote location.
There are a number of activities such as jungle walking, tennis, squash and watersports available but chances are the beach will be a more attractive option. Even during a week's stay in the "rainy season", we only experienced rain twice, both occasions at night.

Pankor Laut is a truly beautiful island teeming with wildlife who are unthreatened by the nearness of humanity. The beach was fantastic with clear clean water. There were plenty of activities such as snorkelling and island hopping as well as sunset cruises and romantic dinners on the beach. I understand there is a great golf course very near but it was closed on the Monday the only day we were able to go. There are other water sports such as windsurfing and hiring little boats etc. There was a gym and three swimming pools although one is exclusive to the spa.

There are plenty of activities - tennis, swimming, hiking - but chances are you will just want to relax in your room or by the pool.
Other than the delicious breakfast, the food is unexciting and expensive, and drinks are too expensive; the saving grace are the delicious picnic baskets available from room service.

To come to the resort is only one possibility first by a taxi ( from KL 3-4 hours drive )and then by ferry ( 1 hour ). I missed the possibility to fly in with a helicopter to the resort for a resonable price!

The sea/water at the side of the island where the hotel is, is not so clean but the pool is very nice. They have shuttle buses to the other side of the island , to the Emerald Beach. Swimming can be annoying there though because they have these little insects in the water that bite and sting,thus not so nice, especially for kids. If the weather is good, the water there is clear , the sand is white and there are enough sun beds for everybody. But bring your own drinks and food, because the waiters never show up there either!

There were many places to visit on and off the island and all at reasonable prices. Snorkelling was fun. Not the best in comparison to other famous snorkeling venues, but for the price and convenience, it was certainly worth it. However watch out for the sharp coral and sea slugs. A friend and I were cut on our ankles and knees but two other tourist from Taiwan were seriously injurred on the arm, palm, and ankles. They had to be taken back for immediate medical attention. Poor things.
Not many local restaurants but we tried the one right in the centre of town, which also looked like the largest there. It was recommended by the taxi driver. The restaurant is managed by a Chinese family. Food was excellent and price was also excellent. If it weren't for the expensive taxi ride to and from the hotel, we would have gone back into town to have all our meals there.
Seafood lovers will find this place a luxury. Cheap, fresh and delicious.
Not much for souvenirs, but again, for food lovers, there are many shops that sell local seafood snacks, which are also delicious and affordable. They also sell dried seafoods such as shrimps, oysters and scallops. These make very good and nutrious stews and soups. Local Malaysian cook books may have more receipes for these ingredients.
It was during the Millennium so many of the tours were closed and we were not fortunate enough to try everything. But certainly I would go back again.
