My Night @ Tanjung Rhu Resort

On a cape in the northern tip of the island lies one of the oldest and most prominent resorts in Langkawi; The Tanjung Rhu Resort. This is a deluxe resort that occupies a long, scenic bay leading to the crystal clear, cool waters of the Andaman Sea.

And I have the pleasure of spending a night there!

Upon arrival at the Tanjung Rhu Resort, I was greeted by the General Manager, Mr I.Z. Melvin and was given a tour of their establishment.

The treatments offered are either therapeutic or vanity/beauty oriented. The massages are an amalgamation of techniques that have influenced the identity of massages within the Malay Archipelago.

The Kiddies Club

Executive Ballroom

After my tour of the resort, I was escorted to my room for my check in. Tanjung Rhu has a very intimate check in concept, where it is done in the room itself so avoid congestion in the reception area and also to stay out of the heat!

The Damai Room

All checked in and sorted, I decided to order room service as I had worked up quite an appetite on the tour earlier in the day. With so much to choose from on the room service menu, I opted for the classic combination of the cheeseburger and milkshake!

After my delicious lunch and a quick rest I decided to chill out by the Sands Pool.

The Sands Pool is one of the 3 pool available at the Tanjung Rhu Resort and is the only pool and bar which is restricted to only the adults. This is to ensure a more peaceful and quiet atmosphere by the pool.
