Dusit Princess Moonrise Beach Resort - Phu Quoc, Vietnam

-
The Dusit Princess Moonrise Beach Resort is located on the west coast of Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam. It's just a 9-minute drive (5.9km) from the Phu Quoc International Airport. The resort provides complimentary airport shuttle service, and a VinBus stop is only 300m away. VinBus is a free electric bus service operated by Vingroup in Phu Quoc. The buses are modern, air-conditioned and they connect key destinations on the island, including Phu Quoc International Airport, Duong Dong Town, Long Beach and Grand World Phu Quoc. The frequency of VinBus services varies according to route. Route 17, which connects Phu Quoc International Airport to Grand World, departs every 15 minutes. You may find the bus schedule on their website or by downloading their app.

We stayed five nights in a deluxe room featuring a king-sized bed, self-controlled air conditioning, and a smart TV with access to various channels, Netflix, and YouTube. The room was well-equipped with an in-room safe, two pairs of slippers, a beach basket with two towels, umbrellas, robes, a hairdryer, a shoehorn, a shoe brush, a two-seater sofa, a work desk, a mini fridge, complimentary bottled water, coffee or tea-making facilities, complimentary WiFi, and a private balcony with a sun lounger. A full set of toiletries was also provided, although shavers were not included.

The room was spacious, offering plenty of room to unwind. However, I did notice a faint musty smell upon arrival, which lingered slightly throughout our stay. The bathroom features an open concept, whereby the shower and toilet are visible from the room, offering no privacy. The shower and toilet each had their own transparent cubicles. While the water was pleasantly hot, the pressure was just average. On the upside, the bed was very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep after each day of exploring. The lighting was also a bit dim, which might not suit everyone. We were glad to find that the power outlets were compatible with our country's plug, making it easy to charge our devices without adapters.

The resort features an infinity pool that overlooks the ocean and a gym. Our stay included a buffet breakfast for two at Palm Kitchen, available daily from 6.30am to 10am, with a variety of options to start the day right. Overall, it was a pleasant and enjoyable stay. Most of the staff were warm and welcoming, with the exception of the bellboy, who appeared cranky in contrast to the otherwise pleasant service.

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

-
Image
We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...

Guangzhou - Day 2 (Canton Fair Complex - Beijing Road)

I woke up early in the morning with a swollen leg, but luckily it is still not that painful when I walk. I couldn't go back to sleep since there's a mosquito that keeps buzzing in my ear. It seems that the pesky insect didn't bother my partner as much as it did me. Anyway, we left our hotel around 10am to look for food. Whenever we travel, I will prepare a list of food itineraries. However, I do not have a complete list this time since I am unable to read Chinese characters. There is very limited information available online in English. There are a few famous restaurants on my list, but I'm not sure if the addresses are correct. So, we asked the hotel front desk about the nearest Guangzhou Restaurant. She is quite helpful in assisting us with the web searches. Basically, the nearest Guangzhou Restaurant is just one station away from our hotel. So we took the metro from Guangzhou East Railway Station to Tianhe Sports Center (¥ 2 per person) exit A to Tiyu Donglu. Since G...

The Palm Suite @ Tanjung Tokong - Penang

-
Image
The Palm Suite is located in Tanjung Tokong Penang, just within walking distance of McDonald's and Starbucks. There are ten of us, and his sister-in-law rented five suites. The room looks modern, and the bathroom comes with a hot tub. However, the hot tub is covered with grime. It is kind of gross because the tub is greasy too. There is a small stool for you to step up before going into the tub. I find it quite dangerous, as the stool can easily flip over, and there is no handle to hold while climbing into the hot tub.  The water pressure is good, and the water is hot enough. The bathroom features a sliding door with no lock. However, opening the bathroom sliding door will close the open wardrobe. If you do not close the in-room safe box door or your luggage protrudes from the closet, the sliding door will not open. My partner forgot to close the in-room safe box door, which left me stranded in the bathroom twice. Luckily he's in the room, or else I'll be spending several h...
