During my one week vacation just before Ramadan, we went to Pulau Perhentian, also known as the Stopped-Over Island. Actually I was longing to come here for our Honeymoon, as it turned out to be, we're finally here for our third anniversary. So, dream come true at last.
A brief intro about the island. Located at the north-eastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia. About 21 km off shores the remote town of Kuala Besut. There are two lovely unspoiled island lie amidst exquisitely clear waters. Pulau Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian) and Perhentian Besar (Big Perhentian) comprise the Perhentian Island, aptly named after henti (stop) as fishermen from mainland Kelantan and Terengganu have, for centuries, stopped over at the island for a rest or to shelter during a major storm.
Once we arrived in Terengannu, we heard that it has been raining for days. Felt a little bit disappointed cause if it does rain during our stay there, then it would be a disaster. To start with, the water will not be crystal clear, no activities like snorkeling or swimming can be done, and no sunset by the beach..warrrrggghhhh. Trap in a room is not my idea of good time. For a split second, I was regret that I hit the enter button for resort reservation a month ago. How could I possibly know!!!
Luckily during our 3D2N stayed there, it doesn't rain at all. Alhamdulillah. The weather was perfect so did everything else. My choice of 3D2N Full-Board Package at Senja Bay was proven to be a great one. Hassle and Trouble Free.
Our resort at Senja Bay was just perfect for the two of us. They have reasonably nice clean rooms complete with 24hours air-cond. The staffs were very friendly and courteous. We have Movie Nite and Karaoke Sessions as well. They played Sandra Bullock's movie and sang Lagu Raya afterward and there was this one Mat Salleh guy that sang Ser..Ser..Ser..song. Wakakkakakakaka!!! Hillarious.
Being a typical Malaysian, I have to say that the pinnacle of our stayed at the resorts has to be their sumptuous meals.(Ya..ya..ya..it has always have to be about Food).We were like membuncitkan perut every time we went for makan. The portion was very generous and it was tasty and feasty. And it was all included in the package. Hubby gives me a 'thumbs up' for that. Well, I was the one who is responsible for the whole vacation thing. Luckily it turned out to be AWESOME. Will definitely go to Senja Bay again for our next trip. Recommended.
We did a little bit of everything, canoeing, swimming, snorkeling, beach walk, trekking. It was fun. I am officially toasted. Itula padahnya kalau tak pakai Sun-Tan Lotion. But it was a really "Well Done" experience for me. Love it.
Pictures are self explanatory..Enjoice!!!
