HOLIDAYS in Terengganu are all about white sandy beaches and the deep blue sea. It is no wonder that the latest attraction in Kuala Terengganu is overlooking the river mouth and the sea.

Built to cater for all walks of life, Hotel Tanjong Vista Kuala Terengganu is within walking distance from the city and Batu Buruk beach.
Its director of sales, Suaibah Harun said the location was carefully chosen so that guests could enjoy the natural charm and hospitality of Terengganu folk.

"We want our guests to feel at home. If you are not in the mood to take that long walk to Batu Buruk, there is a stretch of white sandy beach just behind our hotel at the river mouth where fisher folk converge in the evening after a hard day's work," she said.

And if the weather does not permit, there is a covered swimming pool on the fourth floor, equipped with a snack corner where hot and cold drinks are served.

Tanjung Cafe on the ground floor serves east coast specialities like nasi dagang and keropok.

Suaibah said the hotel had 199 rooms including 20 superior rooms, 110 superior deluxe rooms, 38 deluxe rooms, 10 family rooms, 10 executive deluxe rooms, 10 premium suites and one Bayu suite.

"All rooms are connected to the Internet via free Wifi and are equipped with a LCD television and mini-fridges."

For busy executives, there are facsimile facilities and safe deposit boxes that they don't even need to leave their rooms. They can hold meetings at the spacious conference rooms and functions can be held at the banquet halls.

Suaibah said the receptionists could also help with airline and onward hotel reservations.

"In short, the guests can have peace of mind, knowing that everything is tailored to their comfort," she said.

* From next week, the writer of the Letter of the Week published in Viewpoints on page 24 will receive a three-day, two-night stay at Hotel Tanjong Vista, Kuala Terengganu.
