Duta Sand Beach Resort, Kuantan

This resort become our spot to stop in Kuantan. Abt 6 km fr Kuantan maintown, its on the main road to Kemaman, Terengganu. Its at Jalan Berserah, Kuantan, Pahang.
Luckily my wife found this online , and i got great offer fr hotelsclub member for booking it online. Even the receptionist here dont see it coming! .. hehe. Cant forget how suprise she was looking at my printout quotation.

It is spacious , good for family gathering , group or corporate meeting. Its clean and cosy. Abt 200metre to the beach.
There's “Beach Caravan Experience” thing , but its on renovation (base on internet) . But here , nothing done. The caravan just sits there aging.

Nearby got a nice sandy beach .. Love it

Sunset view ..

Trip to Kuantan 2009

285 km and took abt 3 hour of driving to reach. felt tired and become more adventurous w my 2 childrens, more difficult if both of them are awake, but what d'heck .. it is fun!.

I will list up all the places we stop and do some review on it
