Christmas in Kuching 3 - Damai Beach Getaway

After church, eating and visiting, my family decided that we should have a mini getaway since we were travelling this holiday.

off we went for a 3D2N getaway at Damai Beach Resort!

but we didn't stay at just any ordinary chalet, we went for the Baruk Suite, which are like Bidayuh houses on the hilltop.. (supposedly costs RM 800/night!) there were not many Baruk Suites and there are other suites/rooms that look like longhouses on the hill. There aren't any parking space on the Hilltop but you can parallal park.. its safe if you park at the main resort and take the FOC shuttle van.

the view inside the large suite

looks very ethnic-y with the wooden interior design touch to the Bidayuh house

you even get a jacuzzi inside!

the view outside from the balcony which you can see through the glass doors.. the two double beds are facing this breath-taking sea view and since the weather was horrible, we just relax and enjoy the view (although the waves were really noisy) like how any REAL holiday should be like..

buffet breakfast

there are two big pools at the main resort (refer to first photo) but on the hilltop we get our own personal pool which overlooks the mountain and the sea..

why is everyone cramming the pool? coz of the crazy waves during this rainy season, the beach is totally Off-limits!

don't believe me?

look at the crazy waves.. thankfully i have not bought my new camera yet!

nearby there's a new building with the huge Burung Kenyalang overlooking the beach (like Langkawi right?) and a seafood place.. the place isn't open yet so i wonder what's there.

anyway, had a fun Pre-Christmas in Penang for 3 days and another 3 days Christmas visiting + getaway at the beach.. time to get back to Kuching for the remaining week and get to work, ticking off my To-Do-and-Buy-and-Meet-in-Kuching-list doing all the random chores and long report aka SKT and etc...
