It\u2019s all too easy to get over-excited and pick all your bucket-list hotspots and experiences before you\u2019ve actually sorted out where you\u2019re going to be staying. The last thing you want is an uncomfortable bed or a grimy room! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What you need is to ensure that you\u2019ve got somewhere to stay at which you can properly relax in the evenings. It might sound obvious, but if you\u2019re out sight-seeing and you\u2019re on your feet all day, or even if you\u2019re just relaxing on the beach for that matter, it\u2019s really important to have a calm space to retreat to so you\u2019re not overwhelmed. Let\u2019s look at some of the best options\u2026. <\/p>\n<h3>The Danna Langkawi<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wonderfulmalaysia.com\/tips\/files\/2018\/04\/1.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"740\" height=\"443\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-454\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With stunning rooms and an idyllic beachfront location, this hotel really stands out from the crowd. The style channels the colonial period but is kept up to date with modern influences. The hospitality here, which includes a free welcoming shoulder massage when you check in, is only trumped by the swimming pool, which can boast not two but three tiers! Additionally, all the rooms at The Danna Langkawi have balconies and there\u2019s even a cigar room and a billiards table (\u2026that colonial vibe strikes again!) <\/p>\n<h3>Mandarin Oriental<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wonderfulmalaysia.com\/tips\/files\/2018\/04\/2.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"740\" height=\"432\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-455\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Situated nicely in the capital of Kuala Lumpur, the five-star luxury of this hotel comes through most clearly in its design. Everything here has been thought of and the finishing touches in the rooms and the bathrooms really create a strong impression. In fact this is the sort of hotel that gets in your head and inspires you to do a bit of upgrading when you return home with brand new bedding and cushions, or even smart storage beds from Bedstar. The views on offer from this hotel are really something to write home about and if you\u2019re not careful you\u2019ll find you never want to leave!<\/p>\n<h3>The Andaman<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wonderfulmalaysia.com\/tips\/files\/2018\/04\/3.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"740\" height=\"421\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-456\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Andaman manages to combine a laid-back feel with a high-end atmosphere, all with a friendly service. With its luxurious and ever-tempting seafood restaurant, Jala, and two bars, it\u2019s not hard to overindulge in this place. Thankfully the lagoon-style pool makes for lovely swimming and the long beach makes for appealing walking, so burning off those calories is certainly a realistic possibility here if you can tear yourself away from the award-winning spa!<\/p>\n<h3>Gaya Island Resort<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wonderfulmalaysia.com\/tips\/files\/2018\/04\/4.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"740\" height=\"464\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-457\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For a hotel that really is the archetypal island retreat you\u2019d be hard-pressed to do better than Gaya Island Resort. The only way to access this place is in fact by boat so there\u2019s an element of seclusion from the outset. Rather than ordinary hotel rooms here you can enjoy one of the 120 villas available; and rather than an ordinary hotel gym session you can get involved with one of the spa programs to properly cleanse mind and body and truly unwind. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whenever and wherever you travel, there\u2019s one hard and fast rule that you just have to stick to: always take the time to research your accommodation and choose where you\u2019re going to stay wisely.
