Weekend Getaway..yayy!!

Oh..this come at the right moment..i really need a short getaway for the weekend.It starts a bit rough but ends with lots of possible thoughts & happiness!:D

Sun, sea, sand and nice food is just nice for a short weekend getaway.I love beach as for me it makes me feel relax and chill.I'm heading to peninsula's east coast for the beautiful long beaches.Cherating is just 3 and 1/2 hour drive from KL.If you are driving fast, u can arrive in 2-3 hours, it depends.Cherating in the east coast is a good bet for a weekend getaway.

I leaved KL around 9.30 am and arrive at Cherating around 1pm.Since its still early to checking in, i just drove further up to Kemaman and decided to have lunch at Awana Kijal Golf, Beach & Spa resort.Wow!this resort is nice!Huge hotels with lushes green scenery as you entering the resort. Nice golf course..as i entered the resort, I noticed they have a lots of great facilities here such as Recreation centre where U can find activities that U would do if U are interested. Lots of activities though..such kayaking, water sports, squid jigging(candat sotong), watching fireflies, cycling, jungle tracking and many more. What I can guarantee is U will not be bored here.

Lunch at Waterfall Cafe. Food was great and affordable, suites the place.

After lunch, drive back to Cherating to check-in at Legend hotel Cherating.Hmmm..nice hotel. I think its better than Holiday Villa Cherating which i went there last two months. Legend Hotel Cherating & Holiday Villa Cherating is just side by side actually, not so far. More rooms and great facilities at Legend. The pool was huge and room is much nicer.


 The pool, they have 3 different pool, 2 for adults and 1 for children

 The reception area

XO Band performing that night at the bar
Pool table and games were provided. Yeah..i fill my free time after dinner by playing that games.haaha!

On the second day, i tried this nasi kukus for breakfast..very nice but too heavy for me, i just can't finish the dish..hehe! 

 One thing that U must try when U come here is keropok lekor!its a must-try local delicacies here.

 Turtle Sanctuary, just 10 minutes from Legend Hotel Cherating, located oposite of Cherating Club Med. The sanctuary close when I was there, they close on Monday, Tuesday and public Holidays, sucks!
