Facing the entrance of the hotel, to the right are restaurants, clubs, shops, snacks bars etc. So when we had gone out drinking at night, we did not worry about getting transport back to hotel because we had simply walked 5 to 10 minutes to return safely. To the left, about 150m away, we did our shopping for clothes, bags, crafts and souvenirs. Then we walked another 150m further, we found local food stalls selling various local dishes such as Mee Goreng, Nasi Goreng and Ayam Soto, etc. They are cheap and delicious. Especially, the fruit juice stall, it was no ordinary fruit juice, it had condensed milk and chocolate syrup added. I had tried the Vietnamese style, that was only condensed milk was added to the juice but now with additional chocolate syrup. Mmm...yummy! We had tried watermelon, honeydew and mango, the watermelon juice tasted the best.
There are no family rooms available in this hotel. The maximum capacity is 2+1 extra bed and the extra person will be not entitled to free breakfast. The hotel rooms are air-conditioned, just ensure the door was closed at all times to prevent mosquitoes from entering. The rooms are non-smoking rooms and the only toiletries provided were 2 bath towels, a hand towel and 2 bars of soap.
The hotel staff were very friendly to us but spoke very little English. Our sons' room air-conditioner was not working on the first night but after we had voiced our complaint, they fixed it.
The tour package that we had, included an American breakfast. It was served every morning from 7:30am to 10:30am at the hotel breakfast place but we were always the first few to show up even the hotel was almost fully occupied. Reason being, too many hung over from the night before.
As we remembered on the 3rd day of our local tour, the pick-up time was at 3:30am. The hotel was so kind to arranged a take-out breakfast for us to go. That was a thoughtful act!
