3D2N Family Trip - Pangkor Island Beach Resort - Part 1

21/3/12

Since our last family outing to Penang in Feb'12, I was very much looking forward to our next trip to Pangkor! It was my first time to Pangkor but second time for hubby..

We left for Lumut jetty around 10.30am from Klang and it took us almost 3.5hrs to reach our destination..we took the North South Expressway, heading towards Ipoh and exit at Gopeng toll..then turn right and continue the journey heading towards Batu Gajah - Seri Iskandar - Lumut..luckily, both children were quite co-operative in the car and the journey was smooth..(alternatively, you can take the Bidor toll exit, continue the journey via the trunk road all the way to Lumut by following the sign board towards Pangkor Island Beach Resort or "Pelabuhan Lumut". Look out for signboard indicating "Teluk Intan" and "Sitiawan" and "Pulau Pangkor".)

 

We took the 3.45pm ferry, a short 30mins ferry journey from the jetty to the Pangkor Island Beach Resort's (PIBR) private jetty and the fare was RM19.00/pax, to and fro..Abby was pretty excited as this was her first time traveling in a boat..then from the private jetty, the PIBR bus will take you straight to the resort (about 5mins drive)..

We booked the Pacific Wing room..great sea view and comfy bed! We spent the rest of the evening at the beach and pool..The beach was quite clean and has smooth white sand that was gentle to the feet when we walked on it..However, Abby was too afraid to walk near the sea and was crying for help! She was complaining that her clothes and feet were wet (she was also scare of hot sun!)..so funny..

Then, we took the children to the pool..surprisingly this time, Ian was not afraid of the water.. (he was afraid to go into the pool last round in Penang)..Ian had a great time playing in the pool with Daddy while Abby, the timid one, crying once again! Nonetheless, all of us had fun!

After light dinner, we took a walk around the resort..There were many Hornbills and Peacocks at the Resort..We also played 2 games of pool in the lounge..Both hubby and I had an enjoyable games while Abby, happily eating her chips and drinking fruit punch..

Night time here was really cool ang quiet..good place to sleep!
