¡Desaru KTV: ¡El Morandi que te dejará sin aliento! (37M7 Malasia)

¡Ay, caramba! This is gonna be fun. Let's talk about (let's just call it 'The Place' from now on, 'cause, you know, time is money… and I’m broke). Okay, so, The Place. Where do we even start? It's… a lot. A lot a lot. Like, you need a map to navigate the amenities alone. But let’s dissect this beast, piece by piece, like a particularly delicious tapas platter of hotel-ness.

Accessibility: The Good, The Slightly Confusing… and the Hopeful.

(Accessibility in general): Accessibility is key these days, and The Place gets some points. The text says "facilities for disabled guests" which is a great start. But then it's vague. Real talk: is there a ramp to the pool? Are those elevators wide enough for a proper wheelchair? We need details, people! They also have "facilities for disabled guests" which is great, but that just isn't enough. Hopefully, they've really thought it through. But the devil is in the details. Let's hope they're good devils!
(On-site accessible restaurants / lounges): This is crucial. I've been trapped in hotels before with inaccessible restaurants, and believe me, you will go bonkers. A good sign. You gotta be able to eat!
(Wheelchair accessible): See above.

Internet: Bueno or… Bueno-ish?

(Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!) Hallelujah! The most important thing! A must, not a luxury. I can spend a lot of time in my room, that will definitely improve my stay.
(Internet, Internet [LAN], Internet services): Good. Options are always good. Backups. Like a plan B and a plan C.
(Wi-Fi in public areas): Essential for those late nights in the lobby… or, you know, pretending to work.

Things to Do (and Ways to Pretend You’re Relaxing)

(Things to do): We're in trouble.
(Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]): Alright, alright, alright! Now we're talking! This is what I call a hotel with options! If you're a spa junkie, you are in heaven! I might be in heaven. And with a pool with a view? Don't mind if I do! The potential for sheer, unadulterated relaxation is high.
(Cleanliness and safety): Let's be honest, post-pandemic, this is top of the list. See? More good devils!
(Anti-viral cleaning products, Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment): A lot! They are definitely trying to make you feel secure, which is awesome!

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: ¡A Comer!

(Dining, drinking, and snacking): Okay, buckle up, because this is a big section.
(A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant): Dios mio! Food, food, and more food! Breakfast buffet? Count me in! Room service 24-hours? Yes, please! So many options! Asian, International, Western… I can already taste the possibilities! The coffee shop is a lifesaver. And poolside bar? My kind of heaven. (Side note: I always judge a hotel by its coffee. It's a litmus test for the entire experience.)

Services and Conveniences: The Extras We Love

(Services and conveniences): They have the goods.
(Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center): Wow. This is a full-service hotel. I love the convenience store, because let's face it, everyone forgets something. The concierge is super important, if you don't know the area you can ask him/her for suggestions.

For the Kids (and the Young at Heart)

(Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal): Family-friendly? Check! Babysitting? Essential for parents wanting a little "me" time. This is looking promising for all types of travelers.

Access & Safety: Because, You Know, Safety!

(Access): They have a lot of access, that is great!
(CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Check-in/out [express], Check-in/out [private], Couple's room, Exterior corridor, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Hotel chain, Non-smoking rooms, Pets allowed unavailable, Proposal spot, Room decorations, Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms): All the safety features you'd hope for. This makes me feel safe!

Getting Around: Getting Where You Need to Be

(Getting around): Transportation, here we go!
(Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, Valet parking): Okay, so they've got you covered for getting to and from the hotel, and for getting around once you're there. Free parking is a big bonus! I hate those extra charges!

Available in All Rooms: The Comfort Zone

(Available in all rooms): The basics, the nice-to-haves.
(Additional toilet, Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens): Air conditioning is essential! Bathrobes? Yes, please! Coffee and tea maker? A necessity. Wi-Fi? Did I mention it's free?

My Verdict: The Place - A Promising Escape (But… Ask Questions!)

Okay, so, The Place? It seems like a very "full-service" hotel… the sheer variety of amenities is staggering. The spa options are tempting, and the promise of poolside cocktails already has me dreaming. The safety and cleanliness factors make all the other options much more attractive. The food options! Dios mio, the food!

But… I'm still holding my breath a little, because of the whole "Accessibility" part.

Here's the deal: If they nail the accessibility, this place could be amazing.

My Offer (for you, my lovely reader!)

Desaru [KTV] Morandi theme by Joyfully 37M7 Malaysia

¡Ay, Dios mío! This Desaru Morandi theme trip? 37M7 by Joyfully, you say? Sounds like a fever dream. Okay, here we go… Let's see if I can keep this train of thought on the rails (probably not). ¡Vamos!

DÍA 1: El Embarque (And the Pre-Trip Panic)

6:00 AM: Alarm… ¡GRRR! Already regretting this. Why do I always pack last minute?! Searching for my passport, can feel the blood pressure skyrocketing. I'm pretty sure I left it in… the freezer? (Don't ask.)
7:00 AM: Made it to the airport. Jet lag already hitting me, maybe? No, that's just the pre-trip anxiety. Coffee is life. I'm praying the flight isn't delayed like last time. And for the love of all that is holy, please no screaming babies.
8:00 AM: Somehow made it through security. ¡Uf! Okay, boarding. Looking at other travelers, I feel a kinship with them. Especially the ones looking as stressed as I am… are we all in this together?
12:00 PM (Local Time): Landed! Malaysia. Desaru. ¡Wooo! (Trying to feign enthusiasm) Now, how do I get to that famoso Morandi-themed place? Did I print the voucher? Probably not. Another dose of panic… I should call Joyfully. Probably best to be the one getting the schedule, so I'd not go into any kind of panic.

DÍA 2: Desaru Morandi Magic (Or My Attempt at Relaxation)

9:00 AM: Woke up. Desaru, not disappointed. My hotel is that Morandi place, and it is exactly what the socials say: pastel dreams. A soft, gentle touch.
10:00 AM: Breakfast. Nasi Lemak. Spicy! Really good… then I'm trying to recover. The buffet is a battlefield of choices. I could eat everything, I want to eat it. "Joyfully" said to savor every flavor, and I am, until I can barely move.
12:00 PM: Now, the beach… oh, the beach. I'd imagined myself as a serene, zen master, gently caressing the waves. Nah. More like a sweaty, sunburnt mess, desperately trying to flip my umbrella over before it blows away. The struggle is real, people.
2:00 PM: The Beach. The sand is… what it is, it is hot… The sea is beautiful. Now is that moment I want to chill out. I could do that. It is like a dream. A really humid dream.
4:00 PM: The infinity pool. This is better. I am a fish! This is fun. I did not want to leave the pool at all. But the sun setting… this is one of those days that I want to keep…
7:00 PM: Dinner at a local seafood restaurant. Ordered EVERYTHING. Too much. But hey, it's my vacation! The food in this area is so fresh. I'm sure I’ll pay for it later – probably with indigestion. But, WORTH IT. The fresh seafood… Oh, man… I'm dreaming about this.
9:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Planning another day. Maybe not the beach this time. What if I get sunburnt?

DÍA 3: Adventures and (More) Food

9:00 AM: Morning routine. The bathroom is so big. Still, I forgot toothpaste. Again.
10:00 AM: Exploring the actual Desaru. A little town. I'm told there are things to see. Today is the day. Trying to go out of the hotel, but I love it so much.
11:00 AM: Okay, driving a car. I feel like a teenager trying to fit into a new group. I'm starting to feel bad at my lack of driving skills. It is not something I do very often.
1:00 PM: Seafood again? I don't want to but also, I do. This time, I tried the local food. So, so, so good. Amazing flavors I've never tasted. I'll take the best one!
3:00 PM: Some shops in the town. I'm already broke. But how can you not take something to remember it all? So. Many. Things. Okay, so here's a postcard, and a little keychain. Done.
6:00 PM: Back to Morandi resort. Now, I'm reading. A book. I like to be in the resort, so I'm happy. This is the exact definition of calm.
8:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel. I'm with myself. Which is so much fun in every single way possible. Dinner has the quality of the resort, it is the best dinner ever, and I still cannot eat all the food.
10:00 PM: Sleep!

DÍA 4: The Big Finale (and the inevitable letdown)

9:00 AM: Breakfast. Yes, again. This time, I'm getting it.
10:00 AM: Going for a walk… everywhere! But I'm not moving. I'm just sitting on the sand.
12:00 PM: Packing. The saddest part of any trip. I never pack right, I always forget something. This time, it would be sunglasses, probably.
1:00 PM: One. Last. Lunch.
3:00 PM: The airport.
7:00 PM: Plane. See you later, vacation!

This trip was a whirlwind of emotions, food, and questionable decisions. But, hey, isn't that what travel is all about? And the Morandi theme? Definitely Instagram-worthy! Though, be warned, it might just inspire a sudden urge to repaint your entire life in soft pastels.

¡Adiós, Desaru! I will miss you. Maybe I'll return. And next time I'll remember the toothpaste… maybe.

Desaru [KTV] Morandi theme by Joyfully 37M7 MalaysiaOkay, here are some FAQs about, let's just say... **"La Pasta Perfecta" (The Perfect Pasta)**, because let's face it, we all aspire to pasta perfection, right? And I'm going to make this as messy and real as possible, with a dash of Spanish flair. Buckle up. And don't expect a Michelin star presentation.

¿Qué es exactamente "La Pasta Perfecta"? ¿Es como el Santo Grial de los tallarines?

¡Ay, Dios! "La Pasta Perfecta"... es más que pasta, es una experiencia. Para mí, al menos. Mira, no es SOLO sobre la textura perfecta (al dente, obvio, ni se te ocurra pasarte), ni SOLO sobre la salsa que te hace llorar de alegría (aunque una buena salsa...ufff!). Es todo. Es el aroma que inunda la cocina, es la conversación alrededor de la mesa, el vino que has descorchado… ¿Sabes? Como cuando estás en casa de la abuela y sientes que el mundo se detiene por un momento.

Pero la verdad, a veces me sale fatal. Una vez, intenté hacer unos espaguetis a la carbonara para una cita... ¡la catástrofe! Demasiado huevo, los espaguetis se convirtieron en una especie de masa pegajosa... La cita no duró mucho. ¡Aprendizaje #1: la carbonara es un monstruo sutil!

¿Cuál es el secreto para conseguir la pasta "al dente"? ¿Es como un pacto con el diablo?

¡JA! Un pacto con el diablo... casi. La pasta *al dente*... es el objetivo de todo "pastafariano". El secreto... Bueno, son varios. Primero, agua hirviendo a borbotone! Mucha agua. Como si fueras a bañar a un elefante. Luego, sal, generosamente. ¡Como si le estuvieras echando sal a la vida!

Pero lo *más* importante: el tiempo. Lee las instrucciones del paquete, ¡PERO no te fíes ciegamente! Empieza a probarla unos dos minutos antes de la hora que te dice, y a partir de ahí, cada 30 segundos. Con un tenedor, con cuidado de no quemarte. El misterioso punto “al dente” es como el amor: sabes que está ahí cuando lo sientes. Es una textura que ofrece resistencia al morder, no es ni dura como una piedra ni blanda como una esponja. Es ... la perfección. Y te mentiría si te dijera que siempre me sale bien, a veces me paso o me quedo corto, pero aprendes con la práctica, y con el sufrimiento, jajaja.

¿Qué tipo de pasta es la "mejor"? ¿Hay clases sociales en el reino de los macarrones?

¡Uy, cuidado, que aquí me pongo serio! No hay una "mejor" pasta, ¡hay pasta para CADA ocasión! ¿Clases sociales? ¡Absolutamente! (risas) No, en serio, depende de la salsa, del estado de ánimo, del hambre…

Los espaguetis, son los elegantes, los clásicos. Una carbonara o un aglio e olio son sus mejores amigos. Los penne, son tus paraperos, los que siempre están ahí para recibir cualquier salsa, ¡son muy versátiles! La pasta corta, como los farfalle, con sus "lachitos", son ideales para las salsas con trozos, como las que llevan vegetales o carne. Y la pasta rellena... ¡ay señor, los raviolis! Una fiesta en cada bocado. Y los espaguetti son mi perdición, no puedo resistir un plato de espagueti boloñesa, es mi plato comfort.

Mi favorita personal... un buen plato de *tagliatelle* con pesto casero. Eso, y un vino blanco fresco... ¡el cielo en la tierra!

¿Cómo evitar que la pasta se pegue? ¿Es necesario un ritual satánico?

¡No, no, no al ritual satánico! Aunque a veces lo parecería, después de tirar el quinto plato de pasta al cubo de la basura. El asunto de la pasta pegada… ¡es un clásico! Primero, el agua debe ser suficiente. Como ya te dije, imagínate la bañera para el elefante. Segundo, echa la pasta al agua hirviendo de golpe. No la vayas poniendo poco a poco, ¡a la vez!

Y sobre todo, ¡NO LA DEJES OLVIDADA! Revuelve la pasta mientras se cocina, durante el primer minuto, y no te olvides de ella. El truco, creo, está en la paciencia. Pero a veces, la vida es dura, y la pasta se pega. A mí me ha pasado más veces de las que me gustaría admitir. Y entonces, ¡a respirar hondo y a empezar de nuevo! O a comerla pegada y a reírte de ti mismo. Eso también funciona, jajaja.

¿Salsa de tomate casera o de bote? ¿Hay herejía culinaria?

¡Uff! Aquí toca diplomacia… La salsa de tomate casera… es LA P#$%TA. El sabor es incomparable, con el aroma que conquista la cocina, la dulzura de los tomates maduros… ¡una obra de arte! Y si la haces con tus propios tomates... ¡boom!

Pero, ¿sabes qué? A veces, no hay tiempo. A veces, estás cansado. A veces, necesitas comer pasta, ¡YA! ¿Y qué? Una buena salsa de bote, de buena calidad… puede ser una salvación. Lo importante es que te guste. Así que, no, no hay herejía. La herejía es comer mal, con ingredientes mediocres. Y a veces, la felicidad está en la salsa de tomate del bote. ¡Y punto!

Una vez, me rompí la pierna y estuve tres meses sin poder moverme. La salsa de tomate de bote fue mi mejor amiga. Y la pasta, claro. ¡Sin pasta la vida no es vida! (Llorando un poquito…)

¿Algún consejo para principiantes, para evitar hacer el ridículo y/o incendiar la cocina?

¡¡¡POR DIOS, CUIDADO CON LA COCINA!!! Mira, lo más importante: LEE LA RECETA ANTES DE EMPEZAR. Parece una obviedad, pero… créeme, es fundamental. Asegúrate de tener todos los ingredientes, de prepararte con antelación. Y NO TE ASUSTES. Nadie nació sabiendo hacer pasta perfecta. TODOS hemos quemado el agua alguna vez.

Pero sobre todo… ¡DIVIÉRTETE! La cocina es para disfrutar. Si no te sale bien a la primera, no te preocupes. ¡Vuelve a intentarlo! ¡Y si te sale mal, comeHotel Facils
