Have you been to this new resort in Pahang? I had been thinking for sometime to stay in this resort until the recent school holiday but we just had a night stay here.Our car broke down and we arrived quite late but was so glad to have finally arrived there after a long hours waiting for the car to be repaired.We were greeted by the friendly staffs and was served with welcoming drinks and towels. As I was sitting at the comfortable couch at the lobby, the wind was blowing gently and it was a pleasant feeling after a tiring day. The best thing was when we checked in to our room which was the water villa.The room was spacious as well as the bathroom and a balcony with a table and two chairs overlooking the lake.It was at night so couldn't see anything yet until the next morning.However, that night we did explore a bit accompanied by a friendly and helpful staff who helped us to get our bicycles. Yes, this resort provides bike riding where guest can choose the bike they want by just filling up a form. Buggy service is also available in this resort, the staff will be happy to take you and explore around. 

Another best thing is to wake up in the morning to the sound of nature and the lake views. We cycled to the restaurant for breakfast and our little one enjoyed his time at beautiful swimming pool. The pool area is just lovely to walk around and it is near to the Lakeside restaurant where we had our breakfast. There are also gazebos near the lake for picnic lovers.

I simply love the resort and hope that it will maintain for the years to come.

Here are the list of the rooms which you can choose from:

1) Jala Villa

2) Vana Villa

3) Sara Cottages

4) Vana Villa with pools

5) Jala Suite

6) Vana Suite


Special thanks to Datuk Franky Chua and his management for creating such beautiful place and hope that more are aspired to build similar resort (a symbol of human and nature in harmony) in the future.
