Romantic Hotels in Malaysia

Romantic Hotels that I have Stayed

I am married to the most beautiful (in my eyes that is) and wonderful lady, therefore when we go for our holidays I sometimes look for Romantic hotels to pamper her. I normally look out for their honeymoon packages cause there's a lot of romantic things that go with the rooms. Below are my review of some of the hotels that we have stayed.


AVILLION PORT DICKSON

At Avillion Port Dickson we took their honeymoon package. It was my wife's birthday and I wanted something unique for her. Avillion didn't let us down. The room we had was a water chalet on the ocean that had an open air shower area as well as bath tub. The package comes with a bouquet of roses, candlelight dinner for two at the Crow’s Nest, a neck as well as face therapeutic massage also for two along with two nights stay with breakfast. This resort is actually surrounded with lots of greeneries so much so that my spouse commented she feels like we were in another country not close by to Kuala Lumpur. The meals were normal. We had our candle light on the outdoor patio which was pretty romantic cause| you are able to view the ocean. Services were good. Since there were very few people dining we had the terrace to ourselves. Breakfast was average however it’s alright as we are not big eaters.

 SOMETHING ABOUT AVILLION
Avillion Port Dickson is situated on the 3rd mile of the 18km stretch of Port Dickson beachfront. It’s just near to the town however once you are within the resort, you will overlook that the town is actually close by. Spread over 17 acres of property, this resort offers 300 rooms comprising of the beachfront rooms, garden along with water chalets. The resort is designed was created with the concept of a traditional Malay fishing village with chalet upon stilts on the ocean. The landscape surroundings the resort is beautifully well kept. The dining places here are Crow's Nest, their all-day dining restaurant offering a mixture of a combination of Local as well as International a-la-carte delicacies at any time of the day. The Village Court is an open-air restaurant as well as being in the vicinity of the swimming pool that a variety of light food and beverages. Coming from the lobby you will find the Gallery Lounge which is also open-air bar where you will be entertained by a live band during the night as well as a Karaoke which have several karaoke rooms that can sit up to 40. For activities there is cooking classes for children, a mini petting zoo. For adults you have your own adult’s pool and a space which is on the ocean. Avillion is my No. 1 suggestion for couples to come for the honeymoon. Even though you are married for a long time, you can still have another honeymoon like what we do.

BALA’S CHALET CAMERON HIGHLANDS

Cameron Highlands is famous for their cool weather, roses and strawberries. With these settings it’s a really romantic place to be with. For a truly romantic feel with an English Charm, try out this hotel called the Bala Chalet. The hotel is converted from an old English Boarding School. The hotel is very charming, the rooms also gives you the feel of an English Inn. The hotel is also not too expensive as the Ye Olde Smokehouse. But the only setback with this place is its food outlet. It’s rather small and there’s not much variety. Other than that you just need enjoy the place and gardens. That's what I did; just sit by the garden with my wife and just chit chat. The hotel is located on a hill with lush greenery around. So it’s really beautiful when the weather is colder and there’s a mist around. As it’s away from the main road it’s rather peaceful. For tea and scones go to this little quaint café above Marrybrown Fast Food in Tanah Rata.

 SOMETHING ABOUT BALA’S CHALET 
This charming English style inn is located on a hill overlooking lush greenery. Bala's Chalet is located in between Tanah Rata and Brinchang. It was a boarding school in 1934 for the European expatriate’s kids as a branch from the much more well-known Tanglin school in Singapore, that started out with 150 pupils along with 22 qualified teachers all recruited from| England. It’s a very enchanting place and is very tranquil. Particularly through the night. The bedrooms are also decorated to complement their English Inn theme. Their scones are good however a little costly. Personally I feel the ones offered in the Lords Café (formerly T Cafe in Tanah Rata tends to be much cheaper as well as tastier. The resort features cozy rooms designed with an English Theme. With a Cafe| that serves home cooked curries, western dishes as well as traditional Malaysian dishes. But you can always go to Tanah Rata or Brinchang for some food since the hotel is situated in the middle.

IMPIANA CHERATING

Impiana Resort Cherating is definitely an ideal destination for a romantic escape by the beach. Impiana Resort is located among what I feel is the best spot of Cherating Beach. The resort is about 4 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur which is accessible by means of East Coast Expressway (Route E8), the rooms are designed with a traditional Malaysian, with a four poster beds. Almost all rooms have a view of the sea and the sound from the waves crashing on the seashore can be heard from your room. The Impiana is situated in East Coast's finest sandy shorelines therefore the beach there is clean and captivating especially on full moon nights. As there are not many resorts around so the area is rather quite. What we did here was have a night picnic where we got a small electric lamp and some finger food. Layout a mat and sit and enjoy the cool breeze and the heavenly sound of the waves. We also enjoyed the long walks on the beach, it was really romantic. Actually it was where we both fell in love as we were working there. Occasionally we go back there to recreate those romantic moments.

SOMETHING ABOUT IMPIANA CHERATING
Impiana derives from Malay word "impian" which literary means dream. Resort was designed to resemble a traditional Malay lifestyle. All rooms are charmingly furnished with wooden flooring, traditional four-poster wooden beds giving the room a romantic feel. Every room allows you to be nearer to nature and wake up to the relaxing sound of the ocean since almost all rooms face the ocean and is 300 meter from the beach front. Amenities in most rooms includes a features long bathtub only available in Superior Deluxe and Suites, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, mini bar, room service, television as well as coffee and tea making facilities. The balcony is rather small, only standing room however there is a day bed by the window that opens out that you can enjoy the sea breeze. Kedai Kopi café is an airy restaurant hat offers a variety of Malaysian as well as Continental dishes. The design of the restaurant is a local Malaysian Kopitiam. They even have the green flower cups. Half and hour drive towards Kemaman town you will come across shops selling Keropok Lekor and Satar, an excellent option for mid-day tea. In addition in the direction of towards Kuantan, you will come find Kampung Cherating which is full of seafood restaurants.

GRAND LEXIS PORT DICKSON

Grand Lexis is a one of a kind resort n Malaysia. This unique resort offers 3 room types. There's the Water Villas which is on stilts on the sea, Sky Pool Villas which is located in the hotel block as well as Garden Villas which is designed like residential houses. My spouse favors the Villas; she claims that it has that homely feeling. The unique aspect of this particular resort apart from its huge suites is that each every room features its very own swimming pool. It’s not a very large pool but big enough for a small family to have fun with. Whenever you feel like swimming, simply open the door and dive in your very own private pool. You can also watch your kids swimming from the comfort of your bedroom which overlooks the pool. Just a note the private swimming pool is actually 4ft deep, thus you need to pay careful attention to your kids. So imagine this resort has over 300 swimming pool, I’ve read its listed in the Malaysian Book of Records as the resort with the most swimming pool. Well if you would like a beach getaway then don’t choose this place cause there is absolutely no beach. The closest beach is actually next door at Glory Beach Resort however since the waterways are used by barges as well as ships, the beach can be dirty most of the time. It’s my suggested location that you can stay with your family likewise for newly married couples to have their honeymoon here...
SOMETHING ABOUT GRAND LEXIS PORT DICKSON 
Grand Lexis Port Dickson can be found at the end of Tanjung Gemok beach. The landmark to look out for is Glory Beach Resort. Glory Beach Resort is easy to notice simply because it's a three high rise building looking similar to an apartment complex. Grand Lexis is located just after Glory Beach Resort. As mentioned above there are three categories of rooms. There's the Water Villas which is on stilts on the sea, Sky Pool Villas which is located in the hotel block as well as Garden Villas which is designed like residential houses. Apart from the room there are games as well as activities available around the resort to cater to the needs of most ages. You can purchase the Activity Passport which cost about RM68 per booklet. It is basically a booklet of vouchers that can be used anytime for the activities around the resort which includes segway, archery, table tennis, cycling, video games tokens, nintendo wii video games and many more. In addition there are discount vouchers for the F&B Outlets as well as free cake along with coffee. It’s really good value in the event that you intend to do several activities and you are staying for more than 3 days. As for the restaurants there is their all day dining restaurant, Duyung Restaurant that serves daily buffet breakfast, Genn Japanese Restaurant open for lunch and dinner and the Lanun Bar which have live band performance every night except Sundays. The Lanun Bar is designed to look a pirate’s bar. But for me I ordered room service and just stayed in the room with my wife.

Romantic Idea - Candle Light Picnic

A Picnic with a Difference
A candlelight picnic on the beach is a truly romantic idea even better if there's a full moon. Being serenaded by the sound of the waves, dining out under the stars and the cool breeze blowing through your hair. What a perfect backdrop for an exceptionally romantic dinner. I did this for my wife's birthday when we were working at a beach resort in Cherating. To ask any resort or hotel to organize for you a dinner on the beach might be expensive. The other alternative is to do a candlelight picnic. What I did was organized some food and beverage. Make sure its food you can eat with your fingers because the use of cutleries will be limited. Buy a mat to lay on the sand. The wind will make it hard to light a candle. You can do what I did. Buy one of those cheap battery operated lamps from the thrift shops. Put everything in a nice bag, set it up when both of you are on the beach. She will sure to appreciate your effort. And if you want some romantic music, just put some mp3 music on your mobile. But play soft music to compliment the sound of the waves not drown it. Remember to clean up after you are finished.

Romantic Idea- Make her feel beautiful

Alway tell her she's beautiful in your eyes
Most of of us (men) are guilty of this offence me included. We tend to take our wives or girlfriends for granted. When we were dating, we always say sweet things like how beautiful they are. But after a few years of marriage we forget to do just that. Maybe we are busy working hard to feed the family, nowadays we have more mouths to feed. To continue keepinq the flames of love alive, say beautiful things to her once in a while and you will see the difference. Even Zig Ziglar in his book "See You At The Top" said that when his wife came back from the salon, the food she cooked tasted better that day. But you also need to see the situation to say it. Don't say it after she has been doing a major house cleaning, that she looks a mess. Then you are asking for trouble. Maybe this Valentine's buy her a sexy lingerie. Ask her to wear it and drool over her. Or if you have extra money buy a nice dinner dress and bring her out for dinner. Reserve a table where she can be seen and walk with her holding her hand. Make her feel beautiful and special. Then to make the suprise more better, check in a hotel after dinner without any luggage. Just what you are wearing. I will leave the rest to your imagination. I did this for one of our anniversary and boy was she beeming for a week or so. She still talks about how naughty we were.

Romantic Idea- Relive your first date

Go back to the place where you went on your first date.
For our fifth year anniversary we went back to the resort where we first met. It was a beach resort in the East Coast of Malaysia called Impiana Resort Cherating. We were both working there. To know more about this romantic place you can click here Enchanted Stretch of Beach Called Cherating . We had so many good memories there. So we recreated what we did there when we were dating. We walked on the beach where we used to walk. Sat where we sat.  We had a candlelight picnic on the beach before. We recreated those candlelight picnic. We even took photos of places where we had taken pictures before. Then we compared the pictures. Its was fun and romantic. I would suggest this romantic idea to everyone to do, you can do it for anything your first restaurant, your first movie together or any occasion that both of you did together.

Romantic Ideas -. Create a rose garden for her

Romantic Idea - Rose Garden on the Balcony

My wife loves roses. When we were living in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia where roses are grown abundantly. This is due to the weather up there is cool. Whenever her friends come by from the other parts of Malaysia, she always brings them to the Rose Valley just by our house. So this year for Valentine's day, I set up for her a rose garden on our balcony. As usual the World Wide Web was the best place for resources. There are resources on how to create and take care a rose garden.She was reall surprised and happy. Its was something different she said, others get roses for Valentine's she gets a mini rose gardeb.



Romantic Loves Notes
Hand write small romantic love notes and place them where she will sure to see it. Some examples are in her purse, under her pillow or even on her vanity table. Spray some of your perfume on it, the one she likes. Another idea is to buy some Post It notes maybe pink ones and write romantic messages and post it in places where she is bound to see them. As for me when we were working far from each other, I used to send romantic text messages. For one Valentine's Day, I sent daily a romantic text message for two weeks right up to Valentine's Day.
Sometimes writing a good romantic love message can be very difficult, so what I normally do is scour the web. There are lots of sites with some great messages and you can even use some for your handwritten notes. I use a PDA so its easy to save all the messages that I like in a word document. Later copy the one I'm want to send and paste it in the text messenger. And press send.

Below are some sites where you can get some Romantic SMS text

Romantic Ideas- Take a Romantic Vacation

5. GO FOR A HOLIDAY TOGETHER

I like going for holidays with my partner. I normally look for honeymoon packages because of the extras you get. We are married for almost 4 years but we still go for honeymoons. My wife tells her friends that we have had about 10 honeymoons in the 4 years of our marriage. Look for honeymoon packages that offer candlelight dinners, picnic on the beach and so on. It cuts a lot of hassle on your part as you don't have much planning to do. The destination don't have to be expensive. Just go to a place you both love. For us it was the beach and honeymoon packages turned out to be cheaper than if you were to purchase individual items. If you are coming to Malaysia or are in Malaysia one of the best honeymoon destination we've been is the Avillion Port Dickson. Just click here for my review on Avillion Water Chalet. To know more you can go to my travel site to know more about Port Dickson.

There's a new resort in Port Dickson which have a small swimming pool in every room. What's more romantic than having a swimming pool where both can be naughty. The resort is called Grand Lexis. You can click here to get my review on Grand Lexis.

Instead of going to the spa, give your partner a personalized massage with sweet smelling massage oil. My partner loves a warm lavender oil massage. There are quite a number of massage technique books on sale. If you are by the beach, leave the window open, so there is the soothing sound of the waves while you massage her

Simple Romantic Ideas to keep your loved one happy

Don't wait until Valentine to be romantic. You can be romantic 365 days in a year. As with my comments in my Restaurant Promotion Ideas Website, the internet has tons of creative romantic ideas. Having an understanding wife (cause I'm a workaholic), I'm always searching for ways to pamper her thus keeping the flames of love alive.


<h1>Teddy Bear </h1>
All girls love teddy bears. Go to any store selling teddy bears and you will find young ladies cuddling up to them. My other half said she didn't care much about teddy bears but after getting her first teddy. She liked it so much. Now I give her a teddy bear for almost every birthday. Sometimes I just buy one out of the blue. That's the best surprise for her. For Valentine's day a few years back, instead of giving flowers. I searched in a local online store in Malaysia similar to ebay. Found a bouquet of little teddy bears (about 10 in total), best part of it they will deliver on Valentine's day and they attached a card with a message you choose. Well when the bouquet arrived at her office, she was beaming for a very long time. She did not only enjoy the teddy bouquet but also received comments and attention from her office mates which added to her enjoyment. The teddy bouquet lasted longer than flowers. Now my other half, have more than 30 teddy bears. Sorry I lost count. Another idea is that if you have to be away from home, you can buy a teddy bear Attach a note saying This is your bodyguard teddy while I'm away. He will guard you
and keep you company.
