Pulai Spring Resort, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Pulai Spring Resort is located near to University Technology Malaysia (UTM). This is a golf resort, hence for golf lover, this will be an idea place for golfing and your family is able to enjoy the facilities at the resort.

This hotel has 2 fascinating swimming pools. My kids love this resort so much due to the swimming pool. The swimming pool located near the restaurant serving the breakfast, is the best for us. We parent enjoying our breakfast while our kids playing at the pool. We can choose to sit at the table right beside the pool, so we can watch over our kids.

The bigger swimming pool is located at the health and game area. It is just opposite the reception. There is a big pool and a smaller one with slide. Kids love the water slide especially when there are lots of kids playing together. They have a jacuzzi too, but i think it is not working. You can view the golf cost from both the swimming pool. Very relaxing calming.

The room were nice. The first time we stay at this resort, we were upgraded to a suite room. Good size for family. Kids playing hide and seek in the room. Unfortunately the second time, we stayed here, we were not upgrade. But the room still look good. Quite spaces with kitchen facilities. A sofa set separating from the room.

There are many other facilities but we do not have time to enjoy it, including Facilities for the Physically Challenged.

Here they serve full breakfast from nasi lemak to pastry. We did not try dinner at the resort but i heard it is good as well.

In short, if you have plan to visit Johor Bahru and if you are not in a rush, do consider this resort.

 

Huizhou Xunliao Bay, Shenzhen, China (Part 2)

Part 2 of Huizhou Xunliao Bay

Beside that, there are many fisherman boats around the beach. You can hire the boat for about 45 mins. Hiring a boat cost you RMB200. It will take you about 10 to 15 mins from the beach. Stop at one place for you to view the scenery and putting the fish net. We have no luck, we caught only 1 small little fish and a tiny little crab. I saw some of them came back with a good catch. Well, it is just a short experience for you riding the fisherman boat but it was interesting for first timer. Non of us will try for the second time...

During the night, we walk to the right side of the hotel (10 mins walk) to the local seafood restaurant. The food was so delicious. All of us was so pround that we walk all the way here and found such a nice seafood restaurant. You must try the Mantis Shrimp. Before we cross a brigde to reach this restaurant, there are BBQ area along the beach. I think we will go for BBQ the next time we visit this place. There are locals selling the BBQ staffs here, so it is very convenience.

Below is the bridge to the local restaurant. Only less than 10 mins walk.

 

Below are some other photos taken at the resort...

 

Huizhou Xunliao Bay Resort, Shenzhen, China

Part 1 of Huizhou Xunliao Bay Resort:

Huizhou Xunliao Bay Resort is better than i expected. This resort is nicely decorated. The only problem is you might have some problem finding this hotel. Don't worry, if you are coming by car, you may call the hotel for the right direction. It is about 1.5 hours from Dongguan and about 1 hour from Shenzhen City Centre. Shang Hai Bay Resort, located in Huidong Xunliao Golden Bay, in accordance with the high-star standard construction, building for the Southeast Asian style, the hotel facing the sea by the Bay mountains, downstairs is a platinum beach stretches.

 

This area is still quite new and not promoted in most of the international tourist website. However, there are quite a number of resorts and the most international recognise is Sheraton Resort.

I love the location of Xunliao Bay Resort. Opposite the hotel there are food street (quite a big area and well renovated). This area is also known as historical and cultural area. Nice to go for a walk and some photo taking. There are also a few smaller but nice hotels at that area. Lovely hotel. There are many bicycle rental shops. Most of the bicycle is for couples. We tried a seafood restaurant for our lunch. Very expensive.

There is also a temple known as Tin Hao Temple at the food street.

This resort has nearly 1000 rooms with partially facing the sea and other facing the bay. Each room has a jacuzzi (a size for two) at the balcony.

They call the resort swimming pool as "air swimming pool," the entire pool edge seemingly without any shelter, like a waterfall as marginal. Kids pool is wuite big as well. My kids will definately love it, if they visit this resort.

The beach is right in-front of the swimming pool. The sand is white and there are many life guards around the beach and swimming pool.
