Upon reaching the Hotel...was greeted with a warm welcome by En. Suleiman...a very very nice guy...then he gave us a brief tour around the Hotel...I was like...errr OK!!!it looks normal to me...not until he showed us our room!!! They actually gave us their Rasa Wing's Premier Room...was totally amazed with it!!!...the room actually cost RM1700.00 per night!!!...and Iget to stay there for 2 nights!!!...wtf!!hahahahah!!!

isn't it a beauty!!!

their toiletries is actually Aigner!!!...the shower is very nice as well...you'll have water spraying at you from different angles...shower spa??

this is what i love the most!!!...the bath tub is actually at the balcony of the room!!!...by the way...this room actually included a 24hours Butler's service...where you can ask him to do anything for you...which I did...where I asked him to fill up the tub for me with Lavender Aroma Sea Salt (something like that I guess) at a certain hour that I like!!!hehehe...feel damn Rich and Famous already right!!!hahahaha... you can bathe and enjoy the sea view altogether...

Oh Yeah!...if anytime you feel like to be naked at the Tub...just press a remote where the balcony has automated blind coming down that will cover up the whole balcony where no one from other room will get to peek at you!!!....
