Laman Sentosa Boutique Hotel, Kuantan, Malaysia - Our Stay

We received a message from a friend that Mr. Quek, the owner of Laman Sentosa Boutique Hotel, would like to offer us a free night's stay in return for a bit of help in spreading the news of his new hotel. 

Laman Sentosa Boutique Hotel is located mid-way down Jalan Air Putih 2 opposite the abandoned Delima Residences project, in Kuantan.

Mr. Quek and his wife, a friendly and helpful couple, bought the property, a large single-storey house and completed the renovations in 6 months. Laman Sentosa Boutique Hotel opened its doors on Monday 26th September, so we were amongst the first stream of guests to stay.

We were invited to stay in the Family Loft Suite, the only room of its kind, and one of seven rooms in total at the hotel.

We loved the Family Loft Suite. The girls especially loved the comfortable beds and going up and down the stairs to the upper floor. 

The Family Loft Suite is rented out for RM278 per night and in our opinion, is well worth the money if you would like to sample it for yourself. We had a very comfortable night's sleep and it was very difficult to get out of the nice warm shower. One thing I loved was sitting on the toilet seat and not feeling freezing cold! The bathroom is not air conditioned like the main room, so the warm steam lingers a while after showering too.

A kids pool with water fountains and sitting area are also on the premises of Laman Sentosa Boutique Hotel. Lauren went for a swim in the late afternoon.

Of course, this is a small boutique hotel, so you will have to either bring your own food or go out to eat for meal times. We ordered some KFC delivery for dinner, and the next morning, Mr. Quek was kind enough to buy breakfast and eat with us by the pool.

The construction of Kuantan City Mall is picking up pace now. The building is visibly taller with around one year to go until completion. I went up to the roof of East Coast Mall to shoot the latest video and snap some photos.

Gio Mall, Kuantan

Gio Mall is a kind of mini mall in Kuantan opposite UTC. It is primarily a Muslim women's fashion/clothing mall with a number of very trendy outlets selling modern clothes. Upstairs at the top floor one can buy fabrics and materials and household items. There is also a children's playground. 

We had a lunchtime stroll around Gio Mall and Leah absolutely loved the mannequins! The following photos show Leah posing with them and also offer glimpses of Gio Mall.

Chinese New Year 2016

One of my favourite times of the year is Chinese New Year. Each year we visit friends, some of whom we only meet annually during this holiday. It provides a refreshing of friendships and the opportunity to catch up on what each other has been doing, as well as deepening solid long-time friendships. This year was no different. We enjoyed the company of great people, food and happiness.
