Long-tailed macaques and dusky leaf monkeys arc through the canopy. Oriental hornbills appear without warning, their lopsided silhouettes flitting overhead. White gibbons have been spotted and, occasionally, small elephants wander in from a nearby reserve, having apparently weighed the amenities offering and decided MO was worth the detour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The activity programme runs seven days a week and is, pleasingly, entirely complimentary. Batik painting on Fridays. Padel and terrarium workshop on Sundays; on other days, dong stick workouts, archery, a storytelling session called &#8216;Malaysia&#8217;s Lost Tale&#8217;, a cocktail masterclass staged at the Dusky Monkey bar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Beyond the resort&#8217;s gates lies little in the way of local sightseeing, unless a Hard Rock hotel carries nostalgic weight.
