Fresh Ideas

Colleagues and I went for hotel inspection the better half of today..all at 1B. Saw Mercure, Novotel, 1B Grand Ballroom and Tune Hotels. What struck me the most about Mercure and Novotel is their fresh modern design and bold colours usage on the walls and carpets. I like their attention to small details in the fittings and decors. And the most obvious feature in both is the see-through screen wall / window that separates the bedroom and bathroom...bikin tambah anak ni.

Mercure KK, Deluxe Room. U should stay in their Super Deluxe OMG, but it's really meant for COUPLES ONLY and ironically if those who are there to indulge in a forbidden escapade, the view of the room will be facing the mosque hahahahahah..<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggx3BgvL-9RH0LMP9L4ZsDrwzQmqJp59l5nHYIWSGxtPRKZ5piyRVU8mY6VdakSIwpiRa4ElKP3VPIrC4Gyfsg85bCUcWjvi6qik57YfylYMQr_hniEht2YyFCqQRNuJpz7E463b97EBM/s1600-h/Mercure+Deluxe+Room.jpg">
Mercure rooftop covered swimming pool, cool eh?
At the Novotel bar, all their coffee tabletop will have these intricate whatchamacallit..and it is different on each table. So unique and eye-catching. Bravo for the designer, I like this idea. Imagine if you're seated with other people and in awkward silence, this will definitely be a good conversation starter.
And you know me, I loooove red and the 1 Borneo Grand Ballroom has RED chandelliers! The walls are in red as well and they have deep red tablecloth with organza overlay. Very dramatic. I had visions of a decadent masquerade ball organized here or someting like a bourdoir themed dinner party with plush and rich coloured decors. But my pathetic 2mgpix hp cam is not doing any justice to my impression lahh haiya..

Little House on the Mountain..

(psst..kindly ignore the male model there ya..i dunno him..this pic I grabbed from someone's flickr)
If you haven't been updated, this is a new place to stay in Mesilau..Kiram's Village. Haven't been there personally but I definitely would recommend people to come here after seeing these pics. Check out and look forward to updates here. It is beautifully located almost halfway up the Mt. Kinabalu and lovingly decorated with the mountain garden. The cool fresh air, spectacular view, and abundance of nature will definitely cure your mind and soul. Feel like yodelling already hahahah...

Headache..

Why?? Because kena hujan daaa.. We went for hotel inspection this morning half of the day and it was raining. To Tuaran beach Resort. For our upcoming company's family day. The place is ok, sesuai dengan crowd yang akan hadir bersama-sama anak-anak. Price is ok as well. We were greeted and entertained by the Sales & Marketing cum HR cum Accounts Manager Mr. Sainin who is so nice to show us the place and belanja makan. Tuaran Beach Resort is ideal for families, it is not exactly 5-star or luxurious so perfect for those who has a limited budget. It has many activities for the whole family to indulge in.
Big surfs
Lemongrass Spa, cheap woh, got discount some more buttt..we didn't do it coz me and the model seen here amat penggeli tidak tahan kena urut

Didn't take pics of rooms, tak terfikir pulak. A new 5-star resort is under construction next door, so ada lagi destinasi cuti-cuti baru yang boleh dilawati soon.
