The Legend Resort Cherating, Kuantan - A beautiful beach resort

22 - 23 September 2009

(Tues & Wed)

3rd & 4th day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri

With my maid gone back to Indonesia for Hari Raya, we planned to go to Cherating, a much talked about but always 'tak jadi' plan. I took 2 weeks leave to replace my absence maid. After all, all in all I only need to take 9 working days.

It would be a waste if we didn't go for holidays, after all Ko Ko didn't have school too. So this time we made our plan worked, including CJ since most of her students were also gone for Raya break. Just the perfect timing. CJ could be the back up maid too, ha ha ha!!!

I booked this resort via the internet. Among so many, I could see this hotel had the best reviews with the rates that I was looking for. I believed I had booked the right one...The downside was the check in was very slow...I was only able to get my keys at about 3.40 pm...so late!!!! And the floor was so wet!!!! Otherwise, everything good ...room was very clean...

The kids enjoyed the pool so much...They were so big and not too deep and not too shallow...Just right for the 2 Ko Kos..When the kids enjoyed them, I also enjoyed them.

When Ko Ko's happy, he would be so playful...

The next morning, we went for a morning walk by the beach after breakfast in the hotel. We made our own breakfast of boiled eggs and maggy mees...

The room didn't come with breakfast. We deliberately didn't want to take the breakfast package as the kids wouldn't be interested to eat early in the morning. They would be more interested in the swimming pool than anything else.

Getting the kids to walk around the beach was not easy too since they were more keen on the swimming pool.

There were so many baby crabs on the seashore....We caught a few to play and then let them go.

We arrived at Holiday Inn Resort

We wanted to have a look around whether we should book here in future

Holiday Inn Resorts' Swimming Pool.....

Hmmm...not very happening isn't it? Luckily we did not book this resort..the kids would be so disappointed with such a small baby pool and a squarish adult pool...

This resort was just next to the Legend.. we just walked following the beach as they shared the same beach.

Getting ready to check out

Taking a photo here with the name of the Legend Resort Cherating

Mei Mei was crying for her mummy as usual...

Always wanted mummy to take her

Since nobody wanted to take a photo, I might as well get CJ to take mine.

As usual, kids being kids. Mei Mei wouldn't miss this,

Sliding, sliding down...

The adult pool and the see at the back

The adult pool at the back...

Not easy to take a proper family photo, the children were looking every where but the camera...sigh...

Swing Mei Mei, swing...

Enjoying the garden after check out.

Enjoying the afternoon breeze...so nice ...

Some of the rooms at the Legend. Staying at the ground floor rooms would be nice..

The swimming pool was just in front of them....Hmmm...maybe next time we should specify our preference

The little garden next to the swimming pool...

Darren was so tired after one whole morning of walking by the beach and swimming at the pool.

While we were checking out, he fell asleep on the settee
