Sunday, 2.00pm:- We checked in last Sunday afternoon - bringing with us enough food, clothes and plans that should last us the 3days/2nights stay. My sister booked us an Executive Suite, which is located at the 4th floor of the main resort building.
This is the door to the room; I will not show you the inside 'cos that would be free advertising for the resort.
Sunday, 4.00pm:- From the room, we can see the pool directly below us.The view of the pool is nice but it gets rather noisy when the pool is full of people at 7 IN THE MORNING!!! This is also where we spent our Sunday afternoon.
I guess the main attraction of the pool is the fact that it is a sand-pool. Personally I do not like that sand cos it makes the water dirty faster but my kids love it so why not?
Sunday, 6.00pm:- Alternately we have the beach at our disposal but we did not step on any sand that day. Too early, too soon.
Sunday, 7.00pm:- This is the main building of the resort from the poolside during dusk. This is a very nice picture.
Monday, 8.15am:- On Monday morning, for the first time we have been going there, we had to queue to get into the restaurant for our breakfast. Man!!! Was there a whole lot of people! We were seated nearly fifteen minutes later by a very harassed waitress and proceed to enjoy our food... until a man came and sat at the next table with his family. My niece called him the Egg-Man cos when he breaks his half-boil eggs, he literally smash the shells by throwing in onto the floor. He also did the same with his empty sugar packets.
I must say... we all waited in line too, Mister!!! So why the bad manners?
Monday, 2pm:- I should have known that is a bad-omen cos at about 2pm, Monday afternoon, the water supply stopped. When I checked with the Front Desk, I was informed that it is the work of the water authorities. So we can only wait and see.
Monday, 4pm:- That afternoon, we all trooped down to the beach with hopes that the water supply will be restored.
Monday, 6pm:- water supply was not restored and we resorted to washing off the saltiness from our bodies by jumping into the pool.
Monday, 8pm:- the sink was full of dirty dishes - dishes used for our in-room dinner. As a last resort (pardon the pun), we (my niece, hubby and I) took several mineral water bottles and trooped to the pool to get some water.
Not for drinking, since we have our bottled water. But more importantly, for flushing the toilets. On the way up, sis. met a colleague who told her that he is checking out and the resort offered a complimentary stay the next time around.
And that was when we unanimously agreed to abandon our holiday and drive back home.
Monday, 9.40pm:- I don't remember a time when our packing was the fastest but the need to get out of there and into a treated water shower made us packed at super-speed, checked out and head for home by 9.45pm.
Monday, 10.15pm:- reached the city
Monday, 10.30pm:- washed my hair and showered. Wonderful!!!
So if you wonder how the resort looks like at night, after you'd checked out, it is like this. I wonder when will be our next stay?
