Just visited Bon Ton resort with JRT, Groovy. Attap houses on stilts in a serene Balinese setting overlooking pond n paddy fields. Interior decor is really cool n colourful. Owner from Oz n also maintains a shelter 4 cats n dogs. Bit upmarket n pricey but if u wanna peaceful vacation with ur pet, den its ideal. Took 1 hr MAS flight which cost RM3/ kg to transport pet n crate eg. JRT n crate bout 10kg, hence only RM30 one way…quite cheap. Dey also handle big dogs. Only need a health certificate from ur vet prior 2 flight, but customs didnt really check any document. Dog checks in at same place as u (2 hrs b4 flight), pay d excess baggage fee n staff will personally bring dog 2 cargo. Need 2 inform dem earlier dat u r traveling with a dog so dat dey ‘ll hv staff on standby. Resort hs ltd accommodation n tries 2 maintain a peaceful kampong setting at a slow pace. Lotsa cats lounging around d resort, so dog hs 2 b on leash n fairly calm n quiet so as not 2 disturb other guests. Only 1 resident dog let outside n d 70 other rescued dogs r kept in a separate walled enclosure. Groovy took some time 2 get used d many felines on display…last count > 20 cats. Mainly Malay staff working at d resort, so hv 2 b careful n sensitive 2 their needs as well, but dey r generally quite tolerant with dogs. Guests r mainly Gwailohs n East Asians, so no problems there. Meals can b pricey if u choose 2 eat there all d time. If not, can walk or drive 2 nearby beaches 4 more reasonable fare. Restaurant gets crowded at nite, so off limits 2 dogs but u may hv ur dinner with ur dog at d outdoor gazebo or pub next door. Resort dun hv a beach n hv 2 walk bout 15 min away 2 Pantai Cenang. With dog, best 2 stick 2 secluded beach areas or beaches frequented by Gwailohs. If d resort hd a beach , it wld hv bn perfect. 4 more info, c www.langkawiresorts.com/bontonresort/rates.htm Pic of Groovy at d beach… __________________________________________________
