This is where we were - the Family Section.
Anthony Wong, the naturalist and owner of The Frangipani had created 2 separate sections for his hotel. He believed that zoning is the answer to try to satisfy the needs of all. We were glad to be in this section as it was quiet and we could hang out at the pool and beach without being overwhelmed by sunbathers and err...topless ones too. We were in 108 and 110 :)

This section is for all other young people who like to let it all hang out :)

This room is near the beach, in front of the beach really. Most of the rooms are like this...

This is our room. We had the 2 rooms on the round floor :) . They were fantastic with a small patio where we can sit in the evenings or early mornings and watch and hear the birds.The 2 black barrels hold rainwater for watering the grounds. On top of the roof is a solar panel that warms the water :) All rooms have solar panels and rainwater barrels.

Frangipani Beach in the early morning with a hint of the sun...

Its quite and very romantic...

What the sky looked like on my first morning there...

Frangipani Beach in the afternoon ...still quiet and peaceful...

The local cherry tree infront of our hotel room...
We were very excited to see this tree as it no longer grows in Singapore. When I was living in the Kampong (Kamping Wak Tanjung), there was a local cherry tree that grew in the compound and we used to race the birds to get all the fruit in the hot afternoon to eat. We would end up with very sticky fingers though but it was worth it.

The very red and sweet cherry...

Beautiful Hibiscus, now also not much seen in Singapore...

Tanjung Rhu - the best beach for the locals
I really enjoyed my short week in Langkawi and especially being in
The Frangipani Hotel and Spa. It is the top Green Hotel in Malaysia and among the top 3 in the world. Its
Green policies are the envy of many and
Anthony Wong sponsors schools and university students to learn how to be Green and save the island and the world. Its a really great place to be.
