Escape to Paradise: LSH Perlis Rest House - My Perlis Pilgrimage (or, Why This Place Kinda Blew Me Away)
Okay, so let's be real. "Escape to Paradise" is a bold claim. But after my stint at LSH Perlis Rest House in Kangar, Malaysia? I'm not entirely arguing with it. This place… it’s got something. And I'm not just talking about the free Wi-Fi (which, let's be honest, is practically a human right these days).

We'll dive deep into the dining options, the services available, and the overall cleanliness and safety measures taken. Consider this your ultimate LSH Perlis Rest House guide.
Getting There & Getting In: Accessibility & First Impressions (The Good & the Slightly Confusing)
First off, location! LSH Perlis Rest House is right there. Kangar is… well, it's Kangar. Not exactly a bustling metropolis. But this is part of the charm. Getting there was straightforward. Car park [free of charge]? Score! Never underestimate the blissful feeling of free parking, especially after a long drive. The elevator made things easy, and I did notice facilities for disabled guests. I didn’t personally require them, but it was excellent to see. The Check-in/out [express] option was sorely tempting, but I actually opted for the standard version. The front desk staff were SUPER friendly and helpful, helping me out to know where is what around this small town. I'm also happy to report that Concierge service was available.
Anecdote Time: Okay, so I had a slight hiccup when I checked in. My brain, addled from travel, completely forgot the hotel’s name. I just stood there babbling, “Uh… the… the place with the… rest… thingy?” The woman at the front desk, bless her, did not bat an eye. She smiled, gestured kindly and said, "LSH Perlis Rest House?" And then, just to be sure, added, "Welcome! We are very happy to have you here." That level of grace? Instant good vibes.
Room Revelations: Comfort & Convenience (With a Side of "Meh")
Okay, let’s talk about the room. Available in all rooms: Air conditioning (thank goodness!), Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Hair dryer, Free bottled water, In-room safe box, Mini bar, Reading light, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Wi-Fi [free]. The basics were all there, perfectly functional. My room was on a high floor, which gave a decent view.
There were some minor imperfections. The decor was, let's say, "classic." Think functional, not flamboyant. The bathroom wasn't the fanciest, but it was squeaky clean. The daily housekeeping kept things tidy, and the towels were fresh. And, bonus points for the slippers because, comfort is key! I'm a slipper devotee, you can't tell me otherwise. My One BIG Thing: The Swimming Pool & A Touch of Bliss (This is where it REALLY hit the sweet spot!)
Forget everything else for a moment. The Swimming pool [outdoor]? That was my highlight.
Now, I'm not usually a pool person. I see them, think "Meh," and move on. But this pool… the view! It's a Pool with view thing. You can see the surrounding landscape. The sun setting, the breeze… I could have stayed there forever. Seriously. I spent a whole afternoon just floating, reading, and generally pretending I had all the time in the world (a rare treat). They totally understood how to do a pool right. They even have a Poolside bar! They made a terrific cocktail and the service was super easy and friendly.
Anecdote within an Anecdote: I even saw a family. Little ones. Everyone. I watched. I am sure that all of them loved it as much as I did. That pool… was a mini-utopia.
Dining Detox & Delights (Asian Flavors Rule!)
Food, glorious food! Let's get to it, shall we? The Asian breakfast was a total win. Think fragrant rice, savory curries, delicious stuff that got me fuelled up for my daily adventures. They also had the Asian cuisine in restaurant. The Western breakfast option? Honestly, I stuck with the Asian. It's Malaysia, embrace the local! They also had restaurants and a Coffee shop.
I did try some dishes and I was delighted! They even had a Vegetarian restaurant which is great news!.
They had Breakfast [buffet] and also A la carte in restaurant. The Coffee/tea in restaurant was a must.
Cleanliness & Safety: (They're Serious About This)
Okay, this is important. Given the… you know… state of the world lately, I paid close attention to the cleanliness protocols. LSH Perlis Rest House gets a gold star. There was Hand sanitizer everywhere. They use Anti-viral cleaning products. The staff are wearing masks. The daily disinfection in common areas was visible. I felt genuinely safe. Rooms sanitized between stays.
Things to Do (Beyond the Pool, Though That's Hard to Beat)
Now, about Things to do… Kangar itself is quiet. But that's part of the appeal. You're here to chill and relax. They don't have a Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, or Steamroom, but you can always explore the surroundings. A trip to nearby Wang Kelian Park and its weekend market is worth it. So, if you're looking for a hardcore, action-packed itinerary… maybe this isn't it. But if you want peace, quiet, and a supremely relaxing pool experience? Nailed it.
Services & Conveniences (And the Occasional Quirk)
The concierge was helpful. There are the usual amenities (Laundry service, Dry cleaning, Luggage storage). They also offer currency exchange which is helpful. And they even give Invoice provided.
The Verdict: Book It (If This Sounds Like Your Vibe)
Here's the deal: LSH Perlis Rest House isn't a five-star, polished palace. It's comfortable, clean, well-managed, and has a genuinely lovely vibe.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups. We're going to LSH Perlis Rest House. And by "we," I mean me, wrestling with a travel itinerary that's less "smooth sailing" and more "wrestling match with a particularly grumpy octopus." Here we go:
The Great Perlis Adventure: A Stream-of-Consciousness Itinerary (with occasional meltdowns)
Day 1: Arrival & Acceptance (or, "Why Did I Fly Red Eye?")
- 6:00 AM: Arrive at… uh… somewhere near Kangar. (I totally messed up the flight booking, so let's just say "close-ish.") The sun's already up, mocking my sleep-deprived existence. Seriously, who decided red-eyes were a good idea?
- 6:30 AM: Uber (or Grab, or whatever miracle of technology I can summon) to LSH Perlis Rest House. Praying the driver doesn't judge my zombie-like state. Side note: Do Malaysians use Uber? I should probably have looked that up… Oh well, let’s cross that bridge when we get to it.
- 7:30 AM: Finally arrive. The Rest House looks… charming, in a slightly faded colonial kind of way. Honestly, at this point, a clean bed is a luxury beyond comprehension. Checking in proves to be slightly less easy than hoped. Seems no one understands my attempts to speak Malay properly. I’m pretty sure I just tried to order a “chicken” instead of a “room.”
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Collapsed in bed. This is the most important entry. Don't wanna be too bold but the bed feels like a cloud.
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Attempt to find breakfast. Discover the gloriousness of nasi lemak with extra chili. My taste buds are screaming with delight, and I'm basically mainlining caffeine. All is forgiven, the world is a beautiful place, and I love everything.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Wander around Kangar. It's… quiet. Seriously, a ghost town at this hour? It's growing on me, though. The laid-back vibe is a nice change from the usual tourist traps. Maybe I needed this.
- 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch at a local warung. The food is incredible, the prices are ridiculously cheap, and I'm already planning my next meal. (Beef Rendang, here I come!) Getting weird looks at the language barrier. I'm probably saying something incredibly insulting. Oh well.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Nap. A crucial part of any successful travel itinerary. Dream about fluffy clouds, tasty food, and never having to look at another itinerary again.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Explore the area around the resthouse. I am just realizing the rest house is not so close to the town center. Ok, fine. It’s perfect to be here, in such a serene enviroment.
- 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Watching the sunset, trying to compose coherent thoughts. This is life!
- 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner. Repeat of lunchtime food. I'm not complaining one bit!
- 8:00 PM onwards: Collapse. Sleep. Repeat.
Day 2: The Cave Experience & Existential Dread (or, "Am I Cut Out for Adventure?"
- 8:00 AM: Wake up, feeling surprisingly… awake. Maybe the jet lag is finally catching up, or maybe the sheer beauty surrounding the resthouse is having its effect.
- 8:30 AM - 9:30 AM: More nasi lemak. Obsession officially confirmed.
- 9:30 AM - 10:00 AM: Taxi. Seriously, the lack of public transport is starting to grate on my nerves. I need to book a taxi to the Gua Kelam. Google said it's only an hour away. Apparently, Google has never experienced Malaysian traffic.
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Arrive at Gua Kelam. Wow. Just… wow. The view is more amazing than the actual Cave. The cave is amazing too. The experience in this cave is so unique.
- 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Stroll through the surrounding forest trails. The sounds, the smells, the feeling of being truly present… I am getting eaten alive by mosquitos. No, seriously, like a buffet for bloodthirsty insects.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch near the cave. More delicious food. More existential dread about not writing down what I'm eating. I am the worst blogger ever.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Back in the taxi. This time, I'm prepared with mosquito repellent and a healthy dose of regret.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Back at the rest house. Nap. (It's a necessity at this point.) Also, dealing with the mosquito bites.
- 4:00 PM- 5:00 PM: Feeling a bit claustrophobic, even at the rest house. Am I destined for the quiet backwater of Kangar? I don't even know if I could go back to the caves if they are the only interesting places. Time to go for an walk!
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Wander around the area of the resthouse and met some locals. They are so nice and chill, the opposite of my inner feelings.
- 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: That sunset again! This time it feels different, I love the sun!
- 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Food. Food. Food. More food. Is there even anything else?
- 8:00 PM onwards: Sleep. And pray I survive the night without being devoured by any remaining mosquitos.
Day 3: Departure & Rambling Thoughts (or, "Did I Actually Enjoy This?")
- 8:00 AM: Wake up. Nasi lemak. One last, glorious breakfast. I almost cry. Almost.
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Pack. I don't want to leave.
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Checkout. Saying goodbye to the friendly staff. Actually feeling sad that I came. I’m feeling things!?
- 11:00 AM onwards: Transportation to the airport.
Final thoughts, because, honestly, no one will believe me until they experience themselves:
- Did I enjoy Perlis and the Rest House? Yes. Mostly. Even through the mosquito attacks, the language barriers, the existential crises, and the crushing need for coffee. It was raw, real, and a welcome contrast to my usual, over-planned life.
- Would I recommend it? Yes. To anyone who craves a different pace, a taste of authentic Malaysia, and a bit of quiet contemplation.
- Am I still going to tweak this itinerary for next time? Absolutely. But some things, I want to keep the same and maybe repeat them.
- Also, someone find me a strong coffee before the next flight. Please.
Okay, I'm done rambling. Safe travels, and may your own adventures be filled with good food, fewer mosquitos, and a whole lot of unexpected discoveries. And remember, embrace the messiness. It's what makes life interesting.
