Continued.. Rooms Type of Austin Hill Golf Resort

Shelyn asked me few days ago “Why Super suite is cheaper?”, after she check out my recommendation on Austin Hill Golf Resort.

Quickly I browse through the website of this resort:

http://www.austinhillsgolf.com/accommodation.html

*Fantastic* website, it shows only few photos for the rooms, without relate to photo to the room type. Attached also the table of room charge, again, without put in description what is Suite 1, what is Suite 3, why is it call Super suite. I start to understand why Shelyn asked me that question.

I remember I got a brochure for this resort, which is much more details than the website. Went home and search around … Luckily found it..

Okay.. the different between Suite 3 and Super Suite is: Suite 3 is make up of 1 master room attached with Jacuzzi + 2 Small rooms + Living Hall but Super Suite is just 2 master room attached with Jacuzzi + Living Hall , so it’s RM50 cheaper than the Suite 3..So Shelyn, does this answered your question? LOL..

Austin Hill Golf Resort

Without second thought, I recommended Austin Hill Golf Resort when Amanda asked for my opinion on where to stay during her wedding day, at Johore Bahru. This is the best resort i ever stay in JB.

I went to this resort 5 years ago, and it impressed me by the huge room, fantastic facilities and nice scenery. So, I told Amanda to go have a look since it is just nearby her house at Desa Tebrau. As expected, Amanda loves it and rented Suite 3 for us.

This resort looks no different after 5 years! It’s still looks elegance and nice. We checked in quite late that day, because we helped Amanda to decorate her room for her wedding.

The lobby.. and lift entrance...

Wow.. the Suite 3 is even bigger than the room last time I stayed. It make up of 3 rooms, one huge living room and one small kitchen. The living room is huge and with the panorama view of the golf field.. I bet the living room itself can easily fit in 30-40 people!

The master room is bigger than expected and attached with Jacuzzi + sauna facilities some more! See, Paul can’t wait to jump into the Jacuzzi bath tub!

I got no time to grab the photo of the master room, but you can imagine.. The master room is even bigger than the room in this photo. I grabbed this photo from web, and if not mistaken, this is the room for Suite 1.

On Amanda’s wedding day, we wouldn’t want to waste the nice scenery of this resort and decided to spare sometime to take photo around this resort.

Too bad.. half way taking.. the staff stopped us and told us we need to apply before we can take photo in the resort! This really puzzled us, what a weird rule!

After all this is really a nice resort and worth for the price. Will update the room rate and it's decription...

Saren Indah Hotel - A hidden paradise in Ubud

Our 3rd and 4th night accommodation at Bali was Saren Indah Hotel, which located at Ubud. I booked this hotel because the good reviews from trip advisor, and intend to experience village life at Bali. The way to Saren Indah hotel was so dark and isolated, which make me feel unsure of my choice.

After a few minutes drive from Ubud town, we arrived at Saren Indah hotel. We were welcomed warmly by their front desk. The friendly receptionist served us welcome drinks and so as the beautiful flower, which really swept away all my worries and refresh us from the tired day.

Rooms in this hotel are as bungalow type, with 2 floors. The room we booked was superior garden room, located at first floor with views of garden and rice fields’ background, which cost us USD41 per night included breakfast. The room is tidy and spacious. It looks romantic also with the mosquito net.

All rooms are featuring by balcony too. There’s a lotus pond in front of our rooms. After taken bath, we gather at the balcony for tea, admiring the great night view of this hotel.

The next morning we woke up early to take photo around this hotel. The garden view, lotus pond, padi field and swimming pool all is the nice spot for photo shooting.

Another bonus points of this hotel is the friendly service and the strategic location. It located just 100m of Ubud’s monkey forest sanctuary in the far northern corner of Nyuh Kuning Village. The hotel provides hourly shuttle service to the ubud town, which really convenient us.

This is really a nice and special hotel! With the traditional Balinese design, the surrounding traditional village, rice fields and rainforest, it’s really an ideal place to admire the uniqueness and peaceful of Bali.
