Anyway, we had breakfast 1st in the morning n a piece of caramel cheesecake on the anniversary day itself. Presents? Rahsia :)
The journey started at 2.30pm. Kenapa lambat sangat?? Hantar kereta pergi service. Ingat boleh siap cepat, sampai kul9.30, kul 1 baru siap..
Had our lunch at Bentong's Petronas. There's a cafe there named D'Paya Serai. Cafe yang teramat mahal, standard KLIA. Gula2 kopiko, 20sen sebiji!! 2plates of rice (which is equivalent to 1 plate of rice for normal people), sayur kobis, 2 ketul ayam and 1 telur masin at the price of RM16. Mahal dan banyak lalat macam mane pun, manusia tetap ramai..
Arrived at 5.30. Was told that the hotel was fully booked already. Tiada pertukaran bilik boleh dibuat.
The room was not bad except that:
1. we were mistakenly been given a room with 2 single beds instead. Single, single, not super single. Nasib both of us kurus :D
2. The room was at the top floor and there is no ceiling, terus2 nampak atap. Then there was this just a bulb dangling from the roof.
3. Since it's at the top floor, imagine the heat during the day and the air-cond was so damn slow n not cold at all.
4. Ants!!!!!!!! So many of them. We cant even leave anything sweet on the table or else, the ants will come swarming them in minutes. The only place that's safe to put food is at the TV rack.
5. The TV was small. Comel je.
6. Lizards, huge n fat like the one I saw during BTN at Ulu Sepri.
7. Lighting at night was bad.. Memang malam tu untuk tidur je bila masuk bilik.
As for the price, Deluxe Seaview (standard room) is RM300++ for normal rate and RM180++ for government rate during weekends. But hotels usually give the lousiest room for customers using Govt rate or with voucher/coupons. And this is not my first experiencing this.
Food :
2 day breakfast-On Sunday morning, there were so many people at the the Kedai Kopi and the hotel staff tak cukup tangan to fill in the foods in the tray. You may have to wait or ask the staff for it. Most of the foods were tawar. The nasi goreng serai, the sambal bawang etc. Or is it I am very pemasin? The food was just ordinary and the same menu the next morning.
Room service food sangat mahal. Cant remember the price but it's more expensive compare to other hotels.
The beach:
Biasa2 saje. Airnye kelabu, dont expect crystal clear water. On the day we arrived, memang ramai sangat orang walaupun panas terik. It was kinda windy and cloudy on Sunday evening, so mandi sakan. Plus, everyone checked-out that day and left us and some foreigners tourist. Tiada gambar pantai, Dah dua2nya mandi, sape nak tangkap gambar.
There are many other things at the hotel we didnt explore. But over all, the hotel needs to do a make-over.
Anyway, kami pergi tengok penyu.
Kalau nak tengok penyu di malam hari, ade sesi tertentu yang diorganize oleh pihak hotel dan lokasinya di Teluk Mak Nik also known as Monica Bay which is pantai belakang INTIM.
Will we be coming back to Impiana? Dont think so. Saya mahu pergi Redang sebelum ianya dijadikan lokasi percutian orang kaya :)

owh, i've been there. patutnya kat katil tu ada kelambu hehhehehehee...kelambu dia mcm kelambu zaman nenek2 dulu. agak takut tido sorang2 sebab tingkap dia pakai blinds and view direct to the sea, which is memang tak cantek pun. yela, laut china selatan. silap2 kalo mandi boleh sampai ke vietnam :P
ReplyDeleteimpiana cherating takdela best sangat. tp ramai org pegi sana buat conference. kalau nakc antik kena pegi merang, near to setiu. better still, pegi pulau perhenian/pulau redang terus. pantai sangat cantik, clear blue water :D
p/s: wedding aku kat terengganu nak datang tak? tp musim tengkujuh. hahahahahaha~
kamu buat saya takkan ke sana. hehe.
ReplyDeleteNiha: Tu lar, rase macam nak try The Aryani. Sapa2 pernah pergi? Wedding ko kene tengok keadaan. Ramai betol orang kahwin hujung tahun ni kan?
ReplyDeleteAra: Tapi hotel ni sentiasa je fully booked mase weekend. Kalau lambat booking je, memang penuh. Lain orang, lain pengalaman, mungkin kitorang bernasib kurang baik dapat bilik macam tu..
oklah tuh, macam decent. kalau aku baca entri kau without the pictures, aku mungkin akan rasa hotel nih tak best hehe. but bestnye! aku nak cuti, tapi cuti kena freeze :(
ReplyDeleteaku expect lebih, tu kecewa.
ReplyDeleteKena freeze sampai pembentangan budget selesai ke? hujung tahun pergila bercuti. Tapi before start cuti sekolah la (cuti sekolah starts 20 Nov, tapi 17 Nov tu Raya Haji dah), baru aman sikit n murah :)
yaya.. org tak makan la kt d'paya serai tuh.. mahal mencekik darah plus makanan dia tuh sume yg asik dipanaskan.. byk lalat.. kotor dll (pengalaman aku masa dok ke kuantan port dlu)
ReplyDeleteMase tu desperate sebab terlepas simpang R&R Genting Sempah. Tapi memang melampau2 mahalnya makanan kat situ...
ReplyDeleteaku pernah gi sebab ada kursus waktu tahun 2008...nasib baik bilik yang aku dapat quite okay gak ler...aku ingat lagi aku share bilik dengan si harry jingkau...heheh...but they seriously need to hire a better cook...aku paksa diri ajer makan...hahaha...
