Experiencing Bon Ton Resort, Langkawi

My wife and I had the wonderful experience of staying at Bon Ton Resort in Langkawi on 7-9 September, 2018. This beautiful boutique resort is located somewhere between Pantai Cenang and Padang Matsirat.

Bon Ton Resort is composed of kampong houses on stilts that have been dismantled from their original locations, restored, and then reassembled on site as guest villas. These villas preserve their original exterior appearance, but the inside has been comfortable with modern amenities such as air conditioning, shower, bathtub and television. But despite the modern amenities, there are signs that nature is closeby and often has to be kept at bay. This is particularly so with the presence of mosquito netting and repellents. Having said that, I have to say that the mosquito netting offers the villas a grand elegance.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
