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.
