Sematan is a nice holiday getaway in Kuching, about 1hour's drive away from Kuching.
(Just follow Bau/Lundu signboard, very simple)
I was there 2 weeks ago, for 3 days 2 night family day outing of the department.
SO NICE la holiday for free.
I would definitely go there again.
There might not be like a lot of things to do in Sematan, it is just a very small town actually.
In the Palm Resort itself, you can stay in the Chalet, by the sea, very nice.
Just lepak around the beach, like my boss said, lepak by the beach is the true definition of holiday that woman will not understand. Not Paris. Not Rome. Not London.
Or you can hire a bicycle, for two, and cycle to town area, cycle to the other end of the kampung. Confirm build your triceps one.
Or you can bring a team of footballer, can play afternoon football like us. Very nice.
And follow by BBQ at night.
The town itself, has a few shops selling seafood. Try SeaView. I havent try because the shop was closed when we were there.
But the other shop, which was said to be not as nice as Sea View, had me the best Sea Crabs I ever tasted. Freshness level - ULTIMATUM.
The thing about Sematan I like the most:
The Beach:
The Super Fresh Sea Crabs:
My Department:
The Sun Rise.
Last But Not Least:
The time off.. Unrecorded. Thanks Orthopedic.
