This is a very nice area. I played golf at the Damai Golf Club which was nice. Pass on the Satang Island trip. Not much to see snorkling.

Used Borneo Fairyland tour company to visit Iban Longhouse, 3 days and 2 nights. We hate organised trips but this is the only way to see a longhouse, as you must have a guide, they were exellent!! No cattle market, personal service and very real experience, only the two of us on a guided jungle trek, with lunch in bamboo!!!!
Recommended place to eat in Kuching is the 24 hour cafe opposite the Crowne Plaza (don't go to the C. Plaza!)

The whole experience staying here was great. It is very close to everything. The buffet breakfast was very good.

This is my 3rd trip to Kuching. I spent some time in Kuching city itself before going to the beach resort. The Damai Beach is only 45 minutes from the City and so in conveniently located. We loved walking around the area because of the mountain scenery, the greenery and the beach which is very clean. If you have children the Sarawak Cultural Village is a good experience.

Kuching City is quite compact so getting around is not a problem. The best places to hang out are the Waterfront and the Bazaar. However, at the Bazaar do inspect the items you buy carefully to make sure that they are free of defects. Bargaining is also expected or you end up over-paying. A nice place for a drink and just to enjoy the atmosphere is the Brookes Bristo and Bar that is near the temple end of the Waterfront.

Sarawak Cutural Village very well done and not hokey as such places can be.
Orangutang rehab centre good for me but its luck of draw whether you see any OT's mor not.

Jungle walk near the hotel well worth doing. We also enjoyed our trip to Bako National Park.

We visited the Orangutang rehabilitation center and to see free Orangutangs there was a once in a lifetime experience for me and my wife.
Kuching was for us a surprisingly clean and well organized city, we were impressed, pity that we had rainfall nearly every day.
Sarawak Golf club was in very bad condition. Prison Golf club was lousy, Damai Golf and Country club was excellent.

It rains a lot in Sarawak so it is better to visit with the idea of absorbing the culture rather than lazing on the beach. A taxi from the airport turned out considerably cheaper than the transport arranged by the hotel.
