Preview of Hyatt, Kuantan

I took some photos of the room in Hyatt, Kuantan. (Since 'Khong Fmly' will be there in August have some sneak preview of the hotel). If you are coming from KL and taking the Karak highway, pls take the Gambang Exit not Kuantan. Once you exit Gambang, continue your journey to the straight road. When you see the first traffic light beside the traffic light just turn left. Continue your journey till you reach many many traffic lights (at least 3-4 traffic lights!!). There are not any sign age of Hyatt hotel. So, to be safe just ask around. The Hyatt Hotel at Teluk Cempedak is the only hotel that stands alone. (We had hard time to make up our mind as we thought of taking the Kuantan Exit. Anyway, Must thank Elly for her guidance. Elly, Thank Goodness I have you. You are my Saviour.)

We took the 'Seaview room' which over looking the beach from our balcony (can't see the pool). There are two wing of rooms in Hyatt. (Ok, example - 1st Wing over looking the beach and the 2nd wing over looking the swimming pool and beach).

I called up the hotel to make my reservation and I requested Non-smoking room. For your info, non smoking rooms only available at 2nd Floor onwards. There are Four floors in total (including ground). The Ground floors and 1st floor are for smokers.

I also requested a King size bed as Adriel is No longer sleeping in his cot. (I wrapped up his cot 6mths ago). Having a King Size bed is a good idea as we can have more space - knowing this lil' fella of mine - tossing and turning for 360 degree.

Most of the hotel has to slide-in card or swipe card before entering the room. But this hotel has a slight different system. They are using a kind of 'touch n go' card. Keep you inform : If we loose the card, there will be a penalty to it. So be careful.

These are through my observation of the hotel:

• Have been refurbished recently, with new paints (this is my second time here)
• Private Beach owned by Hyatt (outsider can walk in to the compound BUT only limits for 10-20mins) as Elly advised.
• It has TWO pools. First pool (with two baby pools) situated next to the Coffee house (makan area) and second pool facing the Rooms (No baby pool). - Scroll down for pic
  
• Re-Tiling of the Pool and flooring. Even the pool umbrella and seats are relatively new.
  
• Makan area (Food and beverages) - has many selective of food (I didn't try the food as I only bought the rooms). They even have Pub
• With SPA & Gym (Dun even hv time for this)
  
• Clean and nice ambiance (Feel very relaxing - I wish I can stay longer)

One thing for sure, you will not die of Hunger!!
If you walk out of the hotel, you will find:

• Uncle KFC
• Uncle Mc'D
• Uncle Mamak Stall (Last time used to be a Happening cafe & Bistro)
• A Famous shop selling Curry Chicken Noodles and Noodles Soup which is Halal. ( Ok lar...)
• Sovenier shops if you walking towards the beach (Public beach)

If you walking towards the Public Beach you will be able to snap some pic (at the parking area where there are trees around), veranda where stalls being put up and the best is 'the Bridge'.

The Bridge only 500 meters long and has two to three rest area for you to sit or view the sea. And walking on the bridge with my lil' one really a good experience to him.

I think mine was 1st Wing

View from my Balcony
This 2nd wing will over look the swimming pool and beach.
If you gonna book this wing, Take 2nd floors onwards so you can over look the beach & pool.


'The Bridge' that I am referring..
I'm standing at one of the rest area.
Can you spot the hotel? (Red & Green roof)
So, is not far from the hotel.

I think 3D2N is too short. Of co'z I really wish for a longer vacation but having said this, Is not easy to have a smooth vacation when you bringing along kid/s. Time are limited and you tend to get lazy to explore the whole Kuantan as compared to a without kid/s vacation!
