    I would also get quotes from the likes of Travelbag and Trailfinders if you haven't already done so.
  • Personally I wouldn't spend 4 nights at a beach resort in Penang followed by 7 nights in Langkawi. If you are wanting to see Penang town I would stay in a nice hotel there instead, the beach isin't that good.

    The price sounds very high to me but I guess they are all expensive hotels. If it were me I would price it all up myself individually.

    The east coast of Malaysia has much better beaches and June would be a good time for them.

    At Traders KL, if you are not already, definitely go for a Traders Club Room (effectively a executive or deluxe room) it is only about £20 per day more than a normal room and as well as being teh bit nicer a room, you also get lots of 'Traders Club' benefits that would set you back a lot more than £20 per day if were in a normal room and you paid for them separately.

    In the Traders Club lounge you get complimentary Buffet Breakfast, Throughout the day, you can help yourself to free fruit juices, soft drinks, tea and coffee and between 5pm to 7pm free cocktails and food. Also free Suit Pressing and Shoeshine on arrival.

    As well as things that just make life a little easier, Club Floor Check-in and Check-out.
