To cut the story short, the front manager was so nice, she gave us another 2 extra complimentary breakfast for the inconvenience caused, so instead of 4 free breakfast, we have 6..... Well, Gurney is not bad, huh... but then it was not our fault, we told them that so much time was wasted from one room to another that we finally settled in at around 3.30pm.
Gurney Hotel along Gurney Drive
waiting for our rooms to be ready...
our guests...
we love staying here...
the rooms are very big, jacuzzi bathtubs, 2 tables
a giant bed, a long sofa.. my room rate is RM210
took a walk while waiting for our rooms...
love the sea....
two by two...
later in the evening we went down to the hotel recreation
they went for a dip-dip
just look at the edge.. 7 floors down, dont over-swim..
but of course, no one will swim over the edge...
both having a good time..
then she realized she forgotten to put on sun lotion.. cham!
non-swimmers have a game of table tennis...
children's pool is the best.. safer and fun!
