:: Kuantan day 1 : Areena Batik Boutique Hotel ::

Salam and Hola !

Let's continue with our accomodation during our stay at Kuantan. Right after we entered the Lebuhraya Pantai Timur (LPT) heading to Kuantan, laptop opened and broadband connected. What else, sorry not FB at this moment, Agoda.com is the best website at the moment.

Surfed and browsed the most suitable, affordable and comfortable hotel, and of course the best value for money. Areena Batik Boutique Hotel found as the best.

The room cost us about RM 93 per night (Tatami room). Transaction done and the hotel booked! As we reached Kuantan city around 5pm and bit lost while looking for the hotel.

This hotel is located at Jalan Dato' Wong Ah Jang.

The staff is friendly and helpful. During our stay, the hotel is just opened for about two months and the cafe is still in progress. I believed that this hotel will turn to a beautiful and relaxing hotel soon.

Classic design

Restricted Items

International time

Even though the room is compact ( read : small), still, the customer's need is complete, such mini fridge, iron with the board, hair drier, water heater, safety deposit box, complimentary water, coffee/tea and not to forget the kiblat and prayer mat :)

Overall, I would rate this hotel with 8.3/10.

Next post will be the dinner at Tanjung Lumpur and Teluk Cempedak night life.

:: Japanese Village ::

 Salam and Hola !

Sambungan seterusnya masih mengenai Colmar Tropicale- Japanese Village. Sebenarnya di Colmar Tropicale ni ada banyak taman-taman kecik, tapi biasanya yang ramai nak pergi just tempat yang direview sebelum ni dan JAPANESE VILLAGE.

Ok, bila dah habis pusing kat bangunan feeling2 French ni tu, korang boleh la pergi Japanese Village plak.

TipsNaik je shuttle transport, every 30 minutes dia akan gerak. (Refer jadual kat tempat menunggu).

Nak ke Japanese Village ni tak payah la nak konpiden naik kenderaan sendiri, sebab bukit nak ke Japenese Village (JV) ni mencanak tinggi. Kalau rerasa break pad tu dah lama tak tukar, baiklah naik je shuttle transport tu. Setel !.

Di JV ni sangat la damai, I said to Mdm Sudu "Its like we are in Osaka". Hahaha. Sangat la tenang *walau panas sbb kita kat Malaysia ok*. Maka berjimbalah anda disana. Oh sebelum terlupa, untuk sampai ke JV ni, stamina yang tinggi amatlah diperlukan. Naik tangga, pastu kena mendaki bukit lagi sikit. Agak semput la bagi yang tak berapa nak ada stamina kan. Tapi amat berbaloi la untuk berpeluh sampai ke atas tu.

Enjoy the pic peeps :)

:: Kuantan Trip 1 : Colmar Tropicale ::

Salam and Hola !

Kuantan? ape yg bestnye di kuantan ni? erm mari kite explore...

kami menggunakan sepenuh masa selama 3 hari untuk berjalan-jalan di kuantan..hari pertama dan tempat pertama yang kami tuju ialah COLMAR TROPICALE di bukit tinggi..tempat yg ala2 france gitu...oleh kerana kami dari petaling jaya, kami menghala ke bukit tinggi melepasi tol gombak. daripada tol tu adalah dalam 30 minit untuk sampai ke puncak bukit tinggi tempat tersergamnya COLMAR TROPICALE...

Andai terlepas simpang nak ke Colmar ni maka tak payahlah nak berpeluh sangat, sebab nanti dalam 5-7 km kat depan tu ada simpang untuk ke Air Terjun Lentang, maka buat lah pusingan di situ.

Entrance ticket RM12 seorang..sampai je COLMAR TROPICALE...cam ade kat oversea plak tp x sejuk lah..just udara segar n angin yg nyaman...so kami pun round2 dlm COLMAR TROPICALE tu...
ni lah entrance utk masuk ke COLMAR TROPICALE tu....



erm mari kite lihat ape yg ade dalam COLMAR TROPICALE.....jeng jeng jeng......

pic ni kami dah hampir ke pintu masuk COLMAR TROPICALE..ciri binaan yang cantik..

ha yg ni plak kami bergambar dgn kuda yg terletak betul2 di entrance... :)

yg ni kami berada di tengah2 COLMAR TROPICALE...time ni sunyi sikit sbb x ramai org yg bercuti ke sini...atau mgkn pagi lagi waktu kami sampai...


inilah salah satu kedai souvenir dlm tempat ni...warna warni menarik minat...

pandangan hotel2 di kanan dan kiri dari atas menara...
