The Frangipani Langkawi Resort & Spa

Kindly to be updated on the renovation progress at the Resort. Due to unavoidable circumstances involving raw materials and weather conditions experienced over the past few months, the resort's target to complete the renovation work has been delayed. The six rooms and second pool are nearly completed with some finishing works being done. In the efforts to improve the resort, they are extending the roof at the bar area due to heavy rain problem and replacing the wooden platform at the Mentari Deck due to wear and tear condition. Works will start from 0900 to 1800 hours and noise disturbance will be kept at a minimal level. Their aim is to complete the entire works before the next high season this year. Based on historical data, September and October have been low occupancy months for the resort and this will assist them to speed up the completion of the work to be done.
