点评:We knew that it is not the perfect time if the year as season is only starting in February but we expected a little bit more.
Arriving at the jetty with a pre-booked ticket we found out that there is not "The one" ferry with its schedule but every ticket company has its own boats and tries to get them full.
Therefore, we were leaving 40min. later than scheduled (after complaining) and had a terrible crossing in high waves. IMPORTANT ADVICE: try to get to the islands early in the morning as it gets more and more windy throughout the day. We felt safe due to a good boatsman but some passengers were frightened as the boat jumped high and than landed hard on the next wave, making us and the luggage wet and salty .It took us 1 hour to get there and 20min. more to reach our stop ( they drop you on your hotel/ chalet/ glamping, just have to inform them).
Although our place charged as much as a 4* Berjaya,Langkawi hotel it was lacking the comfort.
We knew it is rather basic but this includes that beaches are full of stones, shells and glass / rubbish from the sea. At high tide the beaches are reduced by 2/3 in width. The water has jellyfish and there were no protected areas. A café we visited for lunch had nothing available from their menu except rice and nuddles- no water, no sodas, no sandwich.
Maybe we have been at too many great places and maybe due to my age (57) I do not see anymore the romantic side of it, but we really regretted having booked 4 days here as there is not much to do and the sun is very aggressive once it is out.
Besides, locals are very ignorant, no awareness for the plastic straws litter they produce and most of them speak poor English.
翻译:我们知道现在不是最佳时间,因为季节才从二月开始,但我们期待更多。
我们拿着预订的票到达码头,发现没有“The one”渡轮有自己的时间表,但每家票务公司都有自己的船,并试图让它们满载。
因此,我们比预定时间晚了 40 分钟(在抱怨之后)出发,并且在大浪中度过了一段糟糕的旅程。重要建议:尽量在清晨到达岛屿,因为一整天的风越来越大。由于有一位好船夫,我们感到很安全,但有些乘客被吓坏了,因为船跳得很高,然后在下一个波浪上重重地降落,弄得我们和行李都湿透了,沾满了盐。我们花了 1 个小时才到达那里,又花了 20 分钟才到达我们的站点(他们会把你送到你的酒店/小木屋/豪华露营地,你只需通知他们)。
虽然我们住的地方和四星级的兰卡威 Berjaya 酒店一样贵,但舒适度却很差。
我们知道这里设施很简陋,但海滩上满是石头、贝壳和玻璃/海上垃圾。涨潮时,海滩宽度会减少 2/3。水中有水母,没有保护区。我们去吃午餐的一家咖啡馆菜单上除了米饭和面条外什么都没有——没有水、没有汽水、没有三明治。
也许我们去过太多好地方,也许是因为我的年龄(57 岁),我不再觉得这里浪漫,但我们真的很后悔在这里预订了 4 天,因为这里没什么可做的,而且一旦出门,太阳就很毒辣。
此外,当地人非常无知,没有意识到他们产生的塑料吸管垃圾,而且他们中的大多数人英语说得不好。
