The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa is truly one of the island’s most ideal resort as its location is pretty perfect. With its own private beachfront facing the pristine Andaman Sea, yet remaining very near to Kuah town, it really has the best of both worlds.

Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers
Whenever we go to Hong Kong, one of our favourite areas to be is Tsim Sha Tsui. It is, after all, the “happening” place to be where dining and shopping are concerned.
