Straight to the check in counter, we were given a platinum Album, which is suppose to be a limited edition of souvenir given the few early birds.
.... We were number #02126 (meant for those 4D Magnum/Toto gamblers :p).
Straight to our room, which was room #429.
Something here is special.
You need to flag your room card when u enter the lift, and if your room is at the 4th floor, that'll be the only floor that you're gonna be able to access too. All the other buttons have no effect whatsoever no matter how hard to press or blow it. It just won't work.
Straight into the room, into the balcony, and the scenery was really breath taking!!!
One thing we noticed. Everything, ..... and I really mean EVERYTHING.......was with either a Hard Rock logo ......
..... or a Guitar logo.
Without wasting any valuable time, we immediately activated our exploring mode......
Straight down to the lobby, and to the main entrance .....
.... and a few steps ahead, was the trade mark of that huge guitar logo.....
A few steps to the left, and you'll reach the 2nd Hard Rock Cafe in Malaysia. There was a Micheal Jackson Status right in front of it.....
..... which was where we dine in the late evening. More to that later.
In the afternoon, we took a dip into the largest swimming pool in Penang.
A few rounds of Butterfly Stroke is all it needs to get all the stress away .....
Some playful act is all it needs too release all the and tension .....
And of course, all your worrieswill be 'unloaded' .......
After a wonderful afternoon in the pool, we headed straight to dinner at Hard Rock Cafe.
One special privilege that Hard Rock Hotel guest got is that, when u flash you room card to the waitress, you can cut away all the queues and granted immediate access to a seat. That's cool !!! ^_^
Food there was not cheap, but wasn't really that expensive either, considering the size of the food given.
Service was awesome,
and the atmosphere, no complains
^_^
We spent around an hour or so on dinner, and then walked around continue exploring the surroundings ....
Here's a night view on the swimming pool ....
and a few more from the balcony of our room....
The night ended with a cup of ice wine which we brought over there , before we hit the sack .....
The next morning, we were given a voucher of free breakfast, for 2.
.... and again.....
No Complains on the food
Service was fantastic .....
but the crowd ...... was ..... a bit .... untolerable
:p
A walk to the beach is the best way to digest everything down after a hefty meal .....
..... Snapping some pictures .....
and strolling by the sea
.... before we headed back to the hotel lobby with a pair of tiring legs ......
And finally, it was time to say good bye.
It was really a very enjoyable, relaxing, and unforgettable holiday for both of us.
And we are planning to come back here again next year, this time :)
But one last thing, I still dun get it why Dan is soooo obssess with this thing the entire time ......
