If you are looking for a more relaxed and authentic Langkawi experience this may be the place for you. The handful of chalets are sprinkled around the pretty gardens and are constructed in a traditional Malaysian style of warm coloured wood and red roofs. The one we had was delightfully pretty inside but had a/c and fans to keep you cool. Because the accommodation is at a higher altitude than at the coast we found that the temperature was in fact a little cooler and there was usually a refreshing breeze. |The pool is good size and certainly very refreshing when the sun got too hot.||The place is somewhat remote in that there are no shops or restaurants within easy walking distance but the whole Island is small and you are never far from anywhere with the help of a cheap Grab taxi. If you prefer your own wheels, the owners can sort you out with a car or moped hire. The upside is that it is quiet and peaceful if all you want is to relax in the warmth, away from the cold British weather.||But the best things about Fox Hill were our hosts Ann and Ezani who were friendly and helpful throughout. Ann is also an excellent cook and if you give her a bit of notice she will prepare delicious breakfasts and dinners at extremely good prices . And the portions are generous.||Note that we found that unlike many places our room was not serviced as a matter of routine, but if you needed anything a quick Whatsapp message and it was done.||All in all, thoroughly recommended as a great...
Read moreVery dissapointing.
The Suria house is near the entrance/parking and very exposes to the road noise and working noise (neighbours building their guest rooms). After first bad day/night we talked to the owner. Reimbursement (even partial) was out of question. As alternative he offered us the Tree House. So we paid 70 euro/night for 2 nights of noise and 3 nights in a cramped room with bathroom outside.
They accomodations are very basic, kind of worn out, with old matresses, hardly any place around to sit comfortable, dark rooms, hot even with A/C on all day, bcs they built them the cheapest way. The pool has only one place with shadow all day, of course everyone wants it. The garden barely has trees and shadows, which is so silly when you see the lush jungle behind the property.
We also havent experienced the famous hospitability. The owner just handed us the key, made twice more money renting Suria, while he didnt do any commercial gesture for having us downgraded.
Sunsets are great, so is the nature behind the property. Rented a nice scooter at the correct price - I was expecting a discount, but hey, being greedy is much better.
The wife answering me on whatsapp was way more polite and nice than the guy, but that doesnt make up for ripping us off.
Big mistake to consider this place as a highlight of our trip where to spend my birthday... We stayed in 2 other places before and we had great...
Read moreFox Hill||We had a wonderful time at Fox Hill, initially we booked for 8 days but made the easy decision to extend by another 4. |The place is relaxing, scenic, clean, peaceful and Ann and Ezani are excellent hosts/owners.|The bungalows are all separate and private, clean, shower was good, aircon worked well, fans inside and out by the hammock were good too.|The swimming pool is a delight with comfortable sunbeds, pool towels were provided too.|Bed linen and towels changed after 3 days, one of our bulbs stopped working, it was fixed within 10 minutes of sending a message! Cold Drinking water supplied via a water cooler.|We hired a car through Ezani, worked very well and was cheaper than through airport hire companies.|We had a couple of delicious meals at Fox Hill too, we didn't have breakfast but we heard only good things about it. We aren't breakfast people.|The location on the island is great, right in the middle, you can drive anywhere in 20-25 minutes. The beaches in the North were fabulous and we preferred them as they were quieter. |Lots of Warungs and restaurants a short drive away, a couple of convenience stores too. |Ezani gave us a number for a private Mangrove tour, which worked out brilliantly, we loved it.|We enjoyed meeting Ann, Ezani, the cats and the other guests, we had a wonderful time at Fox Hill, we will definitely return here, if coming back to Langkawi. |Thanks for a...
