Lis Na Ree, All Budget Beach Stay At Kuantan

The reception and dining area.
At last, at 2am we finally reached the Lis Na Ree Resort. The 3 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur to Kuantan was surprisingly not sleepy. Thanks to my sons making a racket in car more than halfway of the journey. And the trifle traffic at such late hours made a smooth constant 110kmh drive nearly all the way. This was not the first time we went to Lis Na Ree, and finding it's somewhat hidden pathway was a breeze.

The beach from the resort.
3 years have passed since we last visited the place, and since then, nothing has changed. The air-conditioned room and amenities were the same, the bed slightly dusty but stainless nonetheless, the bathroom was basic but clean, and the swimming pool slightly murky due to the monsoon rain. Even the breakfast menu was similar, with the same mediocre tasting fried rice and unpalatable fried noodles. Fortunately, there are stalls serving delectable nasi lemak and other savouries nearby at the main roadside. But the monotony did come with a silver lining. The lodging price remained the same, still at MYR $120 per room per night despite the crazy fuel price hikes over the years. And the beach remained secluded, pristine as ever :)

The rooms. We chose the ones facing the road
and not the swimming pools for better privacy.
The swimming pool. There is also a kiddies pool.
The budget breakfast. That is all there is.
Eating the fried noodles reminded me of it's awful
taste. The fried rice however, was fortunately OK.
The unkempt swings.
The lone beach soccer yard.
The secluded beach.
Not a soul in sight :)
Getting my feet wet.
Sunrise.
Majestic morning clouds with adequately big sea waves for a bit of fun :)
