Walking along the river promenade was terrific. CyberCity & City Laundry near the hotel were great! We enjoyed the services of Borneo Adventures on our overnight longhouse visit; overall, they delivered!

Sarawak a very interesting place to visit, but enjoyed Sabah much more. The resort is a little out the way but local tours are available. The trip was worth it just for the Orangutans and the long house. Be advised to stay away from here in the monsoon season it really is horrid, but im sure pleasant in the dry season.

Kuching is a very peaceful and relaxing place. I enjoyed very much riverside walking at all time night and day.
Sea side is a bit far (one hour by car) and beaches accessible only from hotels.
Sarawak Cultural Village (Pantai Damai area) to be seen but a bit expensive (45 RM).

Extended my stay in Kuching City in a different hotel. All in all, the city is an excellent holiday destination.
Lots of places to visit within and away from the city area (parks, museums, short river cruise).
Plenty of shops within the vicinity of hotels that sells souvenirs and local handicrafts. Excellent customer service and workmanship, good prices offered. Could still bargain for better deal. Also lots of eating places (esp. if you love seafoods).
Easy to move around town or to the outskirts: worth taking the public transports (any kind!).

The resort area was very beautiful, if perhaps a little isolated. Our visit to the Sarawak Cultural Village was very enjoyable and we were very impressed with the cultural performance. We spent about half a day in Kuching, which was not really enough. The city was also impressive. We used hotel transport to get to and from the city, which was not expensive although the journey there and back used up a lot of the time.

The hotel has a free shuttle to the Sarawak Cultural Center, a theme park whiuch features the major cultures of Sarawak inclding structures, artifacts, performances, and craft demonstrations. There is also an inexpensive shuttle that goes from the Holiday Inn Kuching to the Damai Beach.

The hotel is only 10 minutes walk from the Sarawak Cultural Village, and there is a very good tour operator based in the hotel. We went on the daytrip to the Iban Longhouse and it was excellent.

Easy 45-minute drive from Kuching. But immediate local area not fully utilised or tied in. Eg rainforest resort, Pasir Pandak, though Buntal for seafood was very good.
