Definitely a place to stay.
No hanky-panky.
Those that read my earlier entry will begin to notice that I did not book any accommodation during my trip from Pekan Baru to Padang, we played it by ears. Seek for an accommodation upon arrival to.... anywhere, at anytime, where budget permits. And we were lucky that all our accommodation was clean, friendly, unique (very key for me *wink*) and safe. Alhamdulillah.
Having said that, this was one of the hardest and luckiest as we were sourcing for a shelter during heavy rain and at night fall, went to at least 5-6 homes before bumping into this guest house. And I have to stay that this one caught me by surprise as I personally think it will be the sleeziest of all with the name like Beach Club (?!?!) plus the pak cik at one of the houses said alot of foreigner staying there (in my heart, I went like "errrrr..... doesn't sound promising, party place is it?!?") but boy, was I wrong. Dead wrong. Big time.
After surveying (before confirming, we insisted on checking the room and toilet, call me kiasu. Hiks)... the verdict? I absolutely LOVE it!
I don't think I need to write long lengthy entries and explain every corner etc. Enough by me saying, it is clean (both rooms), the toilet was very decent and well equip, the scenery is to die for, the restaurant at the street was yummeh and the guesthouse owner was helpful and friendly. So far, nothing bad for me, or maybe I am just lucky. Insan terpilih gitew. Alhamdullilah.
The big house is the main building with a few rooms, we stayed at the one on the left (first room). The one walking is Imam; my trusty friend that have been chauffeuring us everywhere. Sweet and helpful guy...
