You might also like to know that the Azul Blue in the Riviera Maya, the world’s first stress-free hotel, that opened in November 2006. You won’t remember the meaning of “stress,” “tension,” or “everyday life” after finding the vacation sanctuary that is Azul Blue. Everything at Azul Blue has been created to nurture your inner peace. Azul Blue’s dedicated spa—the most complete spa on the Riviera Maya pampers your body with an array of soothing treatments that can be taken on-site, on the beach, or in the room. Check into one of their 98 luxury suites overlooking the Mexican Caribbean and take an aromatic bath while you walk down to their beach and nap on one of their four poster cabana beds.

Here is a fruit cake set on a glass plate. Since we were early, I took the opportunity to snap as many nice photos as possible before the cakes are cut and eaten.

Mango pudding and other dessert are served on small glasses that are cute.

Here is a blueberry cheese cake with generous topping of blueberry sauce.

This is my dessert with tiramisu or coffee cheese cake on the top left corner. It was simply delicious but I did not take too much of the dessert to watch my weight.

Some cakes on the dessert corner of the buffet in Dorsett Hotel in Penang.

http://www.tsldesigns.com/wordpress/2008/01/19/going-to-stay-in-parkroyal-hotel-today/ The weekend has arrived finally and last week I stayed in G Hotel beside Gurney Plaza. Today I have already booked and reserved 1 night in ParkRoyal hotel in Batu Feringghi. The room rate was supposed to be RM370++ but with the coupon posted in the letter box, we only pay RM270++ with buffet breakfast. And the promotion is valid from 1st January 2008 till 31st March 2008. Right now I am recharging my camera batteries that conked off on me last night while I was in Queensbay Mall. The Chinese New Year decoration was beautifully done and I had wanted to take some snap shots but my batteries went flat on me. Next time.

This is the bathroom and the sink of G hotel. They used red seeds or known as ‘biji saga’ which grows abundantly in Malaysia for interior decoration. Ok, the colors of the hotel theme are brown, beige and red. I used to collect a lot of these red seeds in Dalat International School and last time in Gurney Drive before the upgrading.

I took this photo in the lobby of the hotel. It is different from other olders hotels which have big flower vase and hanging chandelier. Here, the ambience is more romantic, lights dimmed down and plenty of sofa sets for you to lie flat on your back. The platform is wooden with lights surrounding it.

The charge per night is 255++ and after taxes and service charge, the total amount came to almost RM300 for 1 night of stay. May be a bit on the pricey side for most people but once in a while, it is ok to splurge. You can be sure, I will not be staying here every weekend, but I love to try different hotels and experience the settings.

G-hotel is not like any other hotel that you find here. For one, the interior decoration is very modern and hip. You will not find big vases of flower and hanging chandeliers unlike the older hotels. Here, you will find a very cosy lounge with plenty of sofa sets and cushioned chairs with lighted lampstands beside them. The setting is just like a modern house’s interior, cosy and comfortable. The lighting is dimmed down for that romantic feel. The flooring is raised wooden platform with side lights. I am looking forward to today’s stay and check in time is after 2:00pm.

On day 2, we will cruise Chao Phraya River, visit Wat Arun, Safari World and Marine Park.

On day 3, we will see Coral Island by speed boat, visit Nang Noorch Village and watch elephant show.

There will also be shopping to gem factory, leather factory, bee’s product and more. In Bangkok, we will stay in Prince Palace Hotel for 1 nights and 2 nights in Baiyoke Pattaya Hotel. In the mean time, there will be no blogging until I come back.

Las Vegas Hotels offer a lot of entertainment both for the family and the bachelor. You will not be disappointed visiting and staying in Las Vegas Hotels. Each hotel has a theme. We had to take a bus ride at night to see the blinking neon lights that make the whole place abuzz with activities. Women dressed to kill, men in their tailcoats flock to the casinos and restaurants. You will certainly remember this place for life even for 1 visit.

Here is another shot from the poolside view. See the turquoise swimming pool that is so inviting.

Green green grass and well kept lawn of the hotel. It leads to the beach with lots of pebbles.

Two young kids playing by the beach with their spades and pails. Their mum and a maid was nearby watching out for them.

So, in the meantime, I need to work hard and saving up more money before I embark on the European tour. All my other family members have been to Europe except me. My dad was there on a Reliance tour group, my mum followed her sister there, my second sisters was in Finland, Sweden and UK last year while my youngest sister studied in Plymouth, UK for 9 months and the extra money she has, she used it to travel Europe on a student’s budget tour.

Just outside Sunway Hotel were a lot of eating stalled and food ‘kopi tiams’ or food cafes for my overseas readers. I ordered fried fish cutlets with fried mee suah and 10 sticks of chicken satay. This is a food paradise for many locals. You can seen the place buzzing with diners and many hawker stalls selling various local food. The Chinese are a eating lot. Wherever you see hawker stalls, there you will find plenty of Chinese eating away. And since they are hardworking and richer, why not?
