Ramai yang masih bimbang nak keluar bercuti atau bersiar-siar diwaktu pandemik kerana bimbangkan keselamatan keluarga. Lagi-lagi Langkawi je tempat peranginan yang dah dibuka, mesti banjir dengan pelancong dalam dan luar negeri, susahlah nak jaga penjarakan sosial.
Bagi yang teringin nak kesana, Atiq cadangkan korang melawat tempat-tempat yang tak terlalu sesak. Jadi, dekat sini, Atiq listkan beberapa tempat best, underrated & kurang pengunjung untuk korang lawati.
Telaga biru – Telaga biru ni terletak di gunung machinchang. Digelar telaga biru atau blue pool sebab air dia yang sangat biru & jernih. Perjalanan ke sini memerlukan korang untuk hiking selama 45 minit – 1 jam melalui telaga tujuh. Jangan risau, perjalanannya tidak lah terlalu mencabar. Pastikan korang memakai pakaian yang bersesuaian untuk hiking dan membawa bekalan makanan & minuman yang mencukupi.

Pantai Tanjung Rhu – Terletak dalam 25km dari Pantai Chenang. Pantai yang diiktiraf antara 100 pantai tercantik didunia ini sangat tenang kerana tak ramai pengunjung yang datang ke sini. Mungkin juga kerana tak banyak hotel atau resort yang dibangunkan disekitar pantai ni. Sesuai sangat untuk korang yang nak lari dari kesibukkan.
Pulau Tuba – Salah satu pulau yang berpenghuni di Langkawi dan sangat jarang disebut para pelancong. Selain mempunyai pantai pasir putih dengan air jernih yang sangat cantik, Pulau Tuba menawarkan banyak lagi aktiviti-aktiviti lain yang boleh dilakukan seperti jungle trekking, memancing, diving dan caving. Ia juga digelar lubuk ikan oleh sesetengah kaki pancing, haa jadi kalau korang kaki pancing wajib singgah ke sini semasa bercuti di Langkawi.

Air Terjun Durian Perangin – Air terjun yang terletak di Hutan Simpan Gunung Raya ini mempunyai 14 tingkat. Oleh kerana pendakian ke air terjun yang tidak mencabar, ia merupakan tempat yang sesuai untuk bersantai & berkelah dengan keluarga

Pulau dangli – Mungkin kerana perjalanan ke Pulau ini mengambil masa sehingga 2 jam dengan menaik boat, kebanyakan pelancong memilih untuk tidak kesini. Bagaimanapun, pulau tidak berpenghuni ini menjanjikan pengalaman snorkeling yang sangat menyeronokkan.
Atiq harap list ni sedikit sebanyak dapatlah membantu korang plan trip ke Langkawi. Yang penting have fun & jaga SOP !
It was an unplanned trip for the weekend. My husband and I felt like we really needed a break, so we booked a room at Sari Pasifika resort on our way to Tanjung Leman Jetty, Mersing.
Sibu island is a small island not too far from mainland of Mersing, Johor and the only way to get there is by boat. When we booked for the room, we include the boat ride in our booking as well. There’s only 2 trips daily to the hotel, so if you missed it you might have to pay a greater fees to rent for a private ride.
Don’t forget to pay for marine park fee at the jetty
There are stalls around the jetty if you haven’t had your breakfast
It was end of April, which supposed to be a good time to visit the island, but unfortunately the weather is not good. Boat ride to the island is bumpy and water is not as clear as it should be. So during this short trip, we spend all of our time enjoying hotel facilities
Boat rideSome of the pictures we took at the hotel jetty
When we arrived at the hotel jetty, hotel staff came with a lorry to carry our baggage but hotel guests have to walk to the hotel lobby. It’s not a long walk, at least for me, I only remember the beautiful scenery of the sea and mangrove. It is truly therapeutic and don’t forget to take pictures here, the view is definitely instaworthy.
Walking path to hotel lobby
In the lobby, check in process took a little longer than I expected. But on the bright side, there’s a great view of hotel private beach and a glass of complimentary juice. Refreshing ! There are 3 types of room here, hill view, beach view and garden view. While beach view and garden view rooms are near to the lobby and other facilities, hill view room (our room) is up the hill which obviously means we have to hike a little. But, in my opinion, this room has the best view in the entire resort.

Hotel staff helps to carry our bags to our room, but again, we had to walk. The room was spacious ! With magnificent view. We can see the hill, trees, the beach, hotel pool and straight across the sea is Mentinggi island. It is quiet up here, I can only hear the sound of waves and the forest and my husband’s voice.

Each room has balcony for you to enjoy the scenery. Our room was equipped with a king bed facing the balcony which is excellent, we woke up the next morning with a great view.

Other facilities are basic, they have tv with movie channels, coffee, sofa and a safe. The bathroom was spacious too, some of the area is open which allow natural light to come in. They even have a jaccuzi, i didn’t try it because the hotel staff said there is not enough power on the island to turn it on. Here i’m thinking didn’t they do any research before? If it’s true, since all other rooms have it too, can you imagine how much money they’ve wasted?

Our original plan for the day was to go for snorkeling. unfortunately, due to bad weather, the hotel had to cancel the trip. By the way, you can also book for the trip in advance when booking for the room, maybe it’ll be cheaper. They also offer other activites too like kayaking, jungle tracking and scuba diving. Do check out their full package. The only activity that is safe for us now is to enjoy their infinity pool and the beach.
Infinity poolHotel private beach
Hotel beach was so peaceful, not flooded by visitors. Kinda feel like it’s ours. The beach area was clean, although the facilities are a bit run down, but we’re here to enjoy their white soft sand. If you walk along the beach you’ll find a rocky area which is instaworthy too, don’t forget to snap some pictures here.
Dinner available near the hotel area, is only in the hotel restaurant. You can choose to include meals too when booking for your room, but we didn’t. Our original plan was to walk around the village for dinner but due to bad weather we end up buying a cup of overpriced instant noodle at the hotel to enjoy on our balcony facing mentinggi island. The next day we had breakfast at hotel restaurant, it was basic and not so many choices but it’s not bad.

Check out was fast, however we had to wait too long for our boat ride to the jetty. I wish they would’ve inform us earlier and let us wait in our room instead of the hotel lobby. Overall considering the cheap rate I got for the room, the magnificent view, friendly staff and cleanliness, I rate them 4 out of 5.
