D'Coconut Lagoon

Just came back from LanG Tengah for 3D2N. We were group of 3 staying at D'coconut Lagoon (west wing). The Island - there are only 4 hotels at the island and not all at the same beach. When you reached the island you will be seeing crystal clear water. D'coconut is situated at the other side of the island and you can walk (through the jungle - 5 mins walking) to visit the other resorts / beach. If you want to see baby sharks at night, head to Sari Pacifica's jetty ;) The hospitality - Mr Anuar greeted us upon arriving at the hotel lobby and the staff will helped you with your bags and luggage. The check in process was okay and Mr Anuar will give a short briefing on rules of the hotel and itinerary. The staffs there were very friendly and helpful. The room - we stayed in Cabana rooms. You can see the beach directly from your balcony. We purposely choose this room just for the view. Unfortunately, D'coconut should really pay attention to cleanliness of their resort. Our room was not entirely 'okay' with the price we paid. The bed was so sandy even under the duvet :/ The toilet did not cleaned properly. I think they do not have dedicated housekeepers to take care of the rooms. So we only used the room to sleep at night. The rest of the time, we spent our time outside. The food - they served buffet for all meal with limited choice. However, the food were incredibly delicious! Kudos to the chef and team. Your dining area will be facing the beach, something that you will be misisng once you are back. The beach - since the west wing of the resort only has limited number of rooms, you will hardly see people at the beach. As if you are at the private island. And the beach was so breezy and you will not be sweating because of the breeziness unlike like the other side of the island. You can also kayak if you want. The experience- on our first night, we were lucky we get to see the turtle laying 136 eggs. Tell Mr Anuar to inform you if there is a turtle coming to the island! At lang tengah it is a perfect place for stargazing and seeing blue tears along the beach. Ask the staff to show you around :) You wil get complimentary of 2 snorkeling trips together with the package you signed up. They will also bring you to see the baby sharks near the beach at the summer bay resort. Overall, we had the best time in Lang Tengah. Although it is a small island but you will get a handful of experience throughout your stay. If you are looking for a peaceful and serenity, you should definitely come here. From Redang, Pulau Perhentian this is by far the best island I have experienced.

Room: Deluxe Low: Comfort, privacy, nice view Swimming pool: Nice view surrounded by coconut trees, you can enjoy the open air sauna Food: Awesome!!!! Especially I like the spagetti bolognaise, the taste exactly like I had in Italy! I can feel the hospitality from kitchen and F&B staffs~ Overall: nice sandy beach with stunning view, you can choose this resort with budget price, then walk to famous sandy beach Summer Bay via jungle trail.

The good 1) The resort is very quiet with secluded lagoons 2) Staffs are very friendly and attentive to requests The bad 1) Room cleanliness can be improved 2) There are no facilities at the resort 3) Resort surrounding has run down and needs renovation 4) Possibility of no buffet meals during low season with low occupancy

3/5 - rooms very clean and pool very good - right on beach which is nearly private it is so quiet - we stayed in west wing and were very happy Cons - we went B&B and to order dinner each day was hard as many things in the menu were not available! The bar at night was nice but resort was quiet and we were only ones there - not resorts fault but something to keep in mind We walked through abandoned resort to go to summer bay for lunch most days
