Pearl Island Resort - Bohey Dulang Island, Sabah

Image
Pearl Island Resort is a new luxury water chalet resort located on Bohey Dulang Island in Sabah, Malaysia. This resort is managed by the same management as  Kapalai Dive Resort . Currently, the resort has 26 chalets, with more under construction. My partner booked a 4-day, 3-night non-diver package at RM 2,910.60 per person, including 8% SST. The booking was made through Unique Inworld Sdn Bhd, the appointed travel agent. The package includes transfers between Tawau Airport - Semporna private jetty - Pearl Island Resort - Semporna private jetty - Tawau Airport by van and speedboat, full board meals (breakfast, lunch, tea break & dinner in buffet style), free flow of coffee/tea, chilled juice, cold water, and light snacks at the restaurant. The chalet at Pearl Island Resort was spacious and generally well equipped. It came with a king-size bed and a single bed, a mini fridge, an umbrella, mosquito spray, four bottles of drinking water, coffee and tea-making facilities,...

Blu Sentral Hotel - Tawau, Sabah

Blu Sentral Hotel is located in Kubota Sentral, surrounded by plenty of dining options, and Tawau Airport is just a 30-minute drive (28km) away. The hotel is a converted shop lot with only two floors. Guests need to tap their key card in the lift to access the room level. The lift itself is small, but thankfully it doesn't feel stuffy. The corridor is strongly air-conditioned, which feels especially refreshing after returning from the heat outside. We stayed for two nights in a deluxe twin room, which featured two single beds, a wall-mounted smart TV with limited channels (but Netflix and YouTube were available), a work desk, a wall-mounted hair dryer, two pairs of disposable slippers, coffee or tea-making facilities, two complimentary bottles of drinking water, individually controlled air conditioning, and basic toiletries. However, we noticed that one of the bottled drinking waters had already been opened and partially consumed, which was disappointing. For added convenience, a w...

The Westin Kuala Lumpur - Kuala Lumpur

The Westin Kuala Lumpur is located in the heart of Bukit Bintang, just across from The Pavilion KL and next to the  JW Marriott Hotel . The location is perfect for shopping lovers, as Fahrenheit 88, Lot 10, Sungai Wang Plaza, and Suria KLCC are all within walking distance. Around the hotel, you will also find a wide variety of cafes and restaurants, making it easy to enjoy the city's food and shopping scene. We arrived in Kuala Lumpur for a family trip with 10 members from my partner's sister's and brother's families who had come over from Perth, along with his parents. My partner booked five rooms at The Westin, which turned out to be the perfect base for exploring the city, enjoying great food, and spending quality time together as a family. We stayed for four nights in a deluxe twin room, which came with two single beds, a work desk, a couch, and a wall-mounted TV with limited channels, along with individually controlled air conditioning. The room also included four ...
