"Richqi" the Bearded Dragon's Vacation.

It is CHINESE NEW YEAR people! Yeaaahhh!

Most of you may know that we have a pet Bearded Dragon (Pogona Vitticeps) called Richqi. If you've read our previous post on our getaway trip to Langkah Syabas Beach Resort (Sabah), you'll also know that Richqi joined along. 

We're sure Richqi had a wonderful time of his life chomping on natural green grasses and leaves. He also basked himself under the sun for hours and hours. We've made a video for Richqi and posted it on our fresh new Youtube channel. Here's the video!

For those who can't view it, here are some pictures of Richqi's trip. If you're interested in having an exotic animal / reptile as a pet, check out my guide on Bearded Dragons. If ever you require advice or recommendations, do contact us via Facebook or e-mail.

Langkah Syabas Beach Resort (Sabah Getaways)

Yo! How's it going people?

Well, Valentine's over, Chinese New Year is coming right up and I can't wait! So, if you've already followed us on Facebook, you'll probably know what this post's contents might be. Haha!

We seriously needed a short getaway so we decided to stay in Langkah Syabas Beach Resort. It is located in Kinarut, heading to Papar. It is approximately 35 minutes away from Kota Kinabalu International Airport.

I initially didn't have high hopes for this trip until I was actually there! Now I can come up with 5 reasons why it is a MUST to be here.

1. The environment is very very very relaxing. Your chalet will be surrounded by trees giving you the natural green breeze.
2. The beach here is awesome! Well, being in the category of "Sabah's beaches" it is okay. 7/10 would be the rating.
3. Two swimming pools. We FRIGGING loveeeee swimming. Who need (a) pool when you can have pool(s) right? If you're coming here with your family, you'll definitely have fun playing in the pool(s).
4. Animals. In this resort, they have 2 sheep roaming around. I think it belongs to the owner, Peter. The sheep are super friendly! If you're lucky enough, you might find one waiting for you by your doorstep in the morning to greet you just like we did. Not only sheep, they're dogs too! Just so you know, I'll be posting up a video of a sheep and a dog playing together soon.
5. The restaurant. I can sit here for hours. Literally, hours. BEACH VIEW RESTAURANT! Can it get any better than this? 

First, here are a few pictures of the beach. Oh, if you're here and you're planning to go for a dip into the sea, watch out for jellyfish. Safety first. :)

The beach, tempting isn't it? Well, below are pictures of the lobby and chalets. Staffs here are friendly, helpful and efficient. Just so you know, this resort won the 2014 travellers' choice from Tripadvisor. 

Resort Lobby

Not convincing enough for you? Hold your horses. I'm just getting started. Everything about this restaurant is cool! The food, design, sections and more. First thing first, the food here is tremendously good. The portions are huge! Oh, the salad here is by far the freshest salad I've ever had. So you've gotta' try the prawn cocktail.

They have a corner with a cabinet filled with books. It looks quite old but it matches the design of the whole restaurant. It made me feel home. Not only that, they have their own WINE ROOM filled with fine wines! Here are the pictures!

The wine room and the cheese fridge

The mini library corner

Oh, the view of the restaurant? Smirks.

View from my seat 

Not forgetting cheese. They manufacture cheeses here and they have their own cheese house by the beach! You'll also notice that there are 2 sheep roaming around and both of them belong to the resort's owner. They're just friendly and adorable. I also met two dogs, a mix Shi Tzu and a Labrador Retriever I suppose. I'm only gonna' post a picture of me and the Labrador because I'm saving the rest for the upcoming video haha!

"Richqi" our pet Bearded Dragon joined us too! Here's a sneak peak of Richqi's vacation with us. I'm saving it for another post so stay tuned. 

As I've said, this place is a must to visit. Still not convinced? Look at the photo below, don't you wanna wake up in the morning having to see this above you? 

Well I think that's all to this post. If you like this resort, book! If you like this post, share! If you're already awesome as you are, stay awesome! Haha. Here's a little vanity of mine. I don't usually take selfie(s) but when I do, I do it on the beach, HAHAHA!

If you have any enquiries on the resort, do not hesitate to ask us! You can do it via Facebook or e-mail. You can also contact them directly. 2 thumbs up for great hospitality and cleanliness. 

As always, thank you so much for supporting our site. We've reached milestones thanks to all of you. Stay tuned for upcoming posts of Richqi's getaway, Youtube channel announcement and Blue Tongue Skink Care Guide.

Electricity out for a day, here's what we did! (C'haya Hotel)

Hello people!

How's it going with you? If you think you're having a bad day, so did we. Came home yesterday just to find out that our electrical power console was fried and can only be fixed the day after. What now? We looked for hotels around Kota Kinabalu to stay for a night. I'm quite picky/choosy with hotels.

If you haven't check out on my post about Travelling Safe, do check it out! Basically when we stay in a hotel, we demand comfortability, safety, and WiFi!  So we got hooked up with C'haya Hotel located in Tanjung Aru. 

First thing's first, the internet connection that C'haya Hotel provides is by far the fastest connection a hotel can provide. I've stayed in uncountable hotels and C'haya Hotel has my vote and I ain't anywhere near to stepping down. The internet speed is probably 10-20Mbps which is super fast if you're residing in Malaysia.

C'haya Hotel is 3 minutes drive away from Kota Kinabalu International Airport 2 (Air Asia). If you're planning on walking, 15-20 minutes would be it. Convenient right?

AMUSE Cafe

C'haya Hotel provides great security. Why so? In order for someone to use the lift to access any floors, that particular person needs to use a "touch swipe" card to activate the lift. Basically, only customers/staffs are allowed to use the lift. We don't get a lot of this feature/benefit in Kota Kinabalu.

On the other hand, Amuse Cafe is clean, relaxing, and just plain simple. Just the way we like it. There are a few things you can try from the menu.

Not forgetting, C'haya Hotel has a roof top swimming pool! What more can you ask for? It has a regular swimming pool and a hot jacuzzi next to it. If you're all about sun tanning, you're looking at it. 

Our room was awesome! Couldn't ask for more. It is equipped with hair dryer, ironing set, safe deposit box, a mini fridge, a television and a small space for you to chill by the window. Take a look!

Oh! Since C'haya Hotel is so close to the airport, you'll notice that there are many planes taking off and landing because the proximity of the airstrip to the hotel is relatively close. I got a few night shots of Tanjung Aru street as well as a shot where a plane was taking off. Shutter buggingggggg!

Tanjung Aru Beach is 4 minutes drive away. Maybe less. Walking would be 15-20 minutes. You'll find yourself surrounded by beaches and there are a lot of street vendors in Tanjung Aru Beach. Go ahead! Why not right? :)

As for us, we had a wonderful dinner in Tanjung Aru town just 5 minutes walk away from C'haya Hotel. We had "Kangkung Belacan", "Peria Tausi" (Bitter-gourd with salted black beans), and "Ikan Bakar" (Grilled Fish). Overall food rating, 10/10. 

I just love Chaya Hotel. I would definitely come here again just to feel the touristy feeling. To my peeps in BRUNEI, you should definitely try C'haya Hotel. 10/10. 

You might think it is expensive, No. Check out their website to know more, C'haya Hotel. You can book a room via Agoda.com too! There are a lot of sites that recommend Chaya Hotel. If you need more information or our help to hook you up with C'haya Hotel, just drop us an email or Facebook message.
