Review for: Quality Sightseeing Tour

The hotel we stayed is located at a very secluded area with no walking distance convenient shop. No nearby restaurants or shops as well to buy some snacks. Did some research and the hotel is around RM200/night therefore it is not valued of money in my opinion. There are much better options.
