Pangkor Island trip review

I am finally updating my blog on my Pangkor Island 2D2N trip. *pleaseee clap (I am putting lots of efforts here since I'll be having a test 2 tests wtf tomorrow and another test on Friday)* The followings are the travel details, completed with images & captions for your reference.

It is not advisable to follow our trip planning because we made quite few impulse decision, which is why our budget went from around RM180 to RM260. *wth in Pangkor spent RM260, I know wtf* But it is all worth it cause we were treated First class, or actually, we treated ourselves first class wtf. First class of course need to spend more right? Okay, moving on...

As I've seen in the poll (yes I actually checked on it wtf), mostly said I should post up more photos in my blog. So here goes. This post will be filled with photos but with the bandwidth of my Uni, it took ages for me to complete. So I posted this while studying *pleaseee clap again it will be highly appreciated, thank you*

Here goes...........

We stayed at Pangkor Island Beach Resort which is the most expensive resort on Pangkor Island, I heard and I think. We initially wanted to stay at the villa but due to some unexpected circumstances, we changed our plan (this is the beginning of the impulse decisions throughout the trip). The reason why we went for such expensive resort, with their private beach and private jetty was because I accidentally looked up on a dealer selling travel vouchers while I was looking up for accommodations. What is so great about the voucher? First night for 50% and 2nd night for FREE!! But of course we paid for the voucher, it was RM100 only! How and why is RM100 only you asked?? I'll explain that in a short while.

The first room that we entered was the pool view which cost RM500++ for 2 person. Since 5 people are not allowed, we were practically asked to change room. You know in hotel we always cramp 3 persons in 1 queen bed and nobody bothered? This one so strict they said if 2 person means at maximum only can 3 person wtf. So we moved....

The room that we stayed in for the rest of the nights is Garden view cost RM950++ per night, RM950++!! 1 person approximately RM250, per night! We stayed 2 night so it was supposed to be RM500 just for accommodation wtf! So the deal is, we shared the room for 5 person (only 1 extra so ok la). With the voucher, means we get approximately RM500 for 2 nights! And plus the voucher means, RM600+ shared by 5 for 2 nights. We paid RM127.20 each means total is RM636!! (wanna save on accommodation? go find vouchers! but make sure you don't get cheated, if cheated don't blame me wtf)

So here are the prices (i think this is all you want to know):

fyi, we only stopped at the town once to withdraw money because the resort is not walking distance from Pangkor town (of course la kan since got private beach where got wanna build around public area) and we didn't even ate seafood cause we were so tired on first night (we arrived when it's almost dark), we ate 2 cups of instant noodles each (this also counted first class la since it tasted so nice that night fol) and 2nd night we had buffet dinner.

The one we went was *go search for name card* Ceria D' Pangkor. Introduced by the Pak Cik who drove the taxi when we first arrive (perhaps the safest driver in Pangkor).

Brief summary.......

Our first night was kinda wasted cause we arrived late in the evening. We just enjoy the feel being in a relaxing hotel after a hectic first half of the semester, wtf only first half. That night watched some movies, chit chats like usual..girls..you know.. Then off to bed to an exciting day! Took lunch at Pangkor town and next to the beach! We first ride on the banana boat. It was my second ride, first for some of us, but what was different was that the boat-guy wtf made us feel into the water, twice! And this one not near the beach like my first time, swim a bit then legs can reach the ground and then walk up the shore ourselves wtf. This one is like farrrr from shore. Of course we felt scared so we hang onto each other lol. After banana boat we were even more excited for snorkeling. This, was my first, and most of us are were virgin snorkeler wtf. The best thing is, we did it not looking at corals but all the fishes, some reached 2 feet long, which was kinda scary. This was when we all got wounded cuts here and there due to the unseen rocks. Touched sea cucumber too! After that we went back to the resort to enjoy the private beach. It was wayyy nicer and cleaner so we spent an hour or more just dipping and playing with waves like innocent kids wtf. At night we enjoyed international buffet at the resort, varieties of food and almost all sitting near us were non Malaysian. After the meal, strolled on the beach, did random stuffs (as seen below) and off to bed. The last day, extended our stay for an hour cause we cannot wake up on time and if I was not mistaken we wanted to finish a movie on Starworld wtf. After check out, more strolls and photography on the bed. Lastly had satisfying lunch at Sitiawan.

Photos!!

Before check-in, we saw peacocks on the roofs!
