Mercure Langkawi Pantai Cenang - Kedah

-
Image
Mercure Langkawi Pantai Cenang is located in the Pantai Cenang area. Although the hotel is not directly facing the beachfront, the beach is just across the road and easily accessible on foot. Complimentary parking is available at the open-air car park. Guests are required to collect a parking card from the receptionist before entering the parking area. We spent two nights in a superior room with twin single beds. The room felt spacious, and the self-controlled air conditioning kept the room nice and cold. The bed was soft and sank in slightly, making it just okay in terms of comfort. The pillows looked a bit old, and the blanket was also quite thin. The room came with a wall-mounted TV (20 channels), dressing table, weighing machine, torch light, iron and ironing board, in-room safe, mini fridge, hair dryer, two pairs of disposable slippers, bathrobes, coffee or tea-making facilities, and toiletries. Drinking water was provided via filtered tap water. There was also a complimentary one...

Tawau/Semporna (IV) - Day 7 (Semporna Town - Tawau Town)

We didn't sleep well the night before and only managed to get up around 8.45am for breakfast. It was a gloomy morning, with heavy rain on and off. Our stay at Casa Casa  came with a complimentary breakfast for two at Secawan Cafe, served from 6.30am to 10.30am. We had already chosen what to eat during check-in, as guests were required to place their orders in advance. Breakfast came with a small bottle of orange juice, which was refreshing and slightly sweet, along with free-flow coffee and tea. I had sourdough bread served with butter and jam. The bread was soft and fluffy, with a slight crisp on the edges. My partner went for peanut toast topped with cheese, egg, and crushed peanuts, all drizzled with honey. I found the peanut butter a little too sweet for my taste. While we were eating, my partner ran into a friend who had come all the way from Penang with his family for a holiday. It was such a small world moment and added a fun surprise to our morning. Secawan Cafe Secawan Caf...

Tawau/Semporna (IV) - Day 6 (Pearl Island Resort - Semporna Town)

-

It was our last day at Pearl Island Resort , and I couldn't believe how quickly the 4 days and 3 nights passed. I woke up at 7.45am, but didn't feel like going for breakfast since it wasn't very appealing after having the same options for the past two days. So, I went back to sleep and woke up again at 9am. As breakfast was served from 7am to 9.30am, we still had about half an hour left. Since I was already awake, I thought I might as well go for breakfast. I took about 15 minutes to get ready, but by the time we reached the dining area, the egg station had already closed, and there wasn't much food left. The fruits were not refilled either. When I asked one of the staff, she mentioned that the kitchen was already closed. A group of Chinese tourists who arrived late like us also commented on how early the egg station had shut, saying they would come earlier the next day. I tried the mee hoon (fried vermicelli), which was quite good, especially with the curry chicken gra...
