Bagan Lalang, Selangor

 Bagan Lalang is an alternative holiday spot in the coastal Selangor other than Morib. It is actually located in Kampung Sungai Pelek which is within the district of Sepang. It is easily accessible via the North South Highway, The LEKAS Highway which leads initially to the town of Nilai. After about 45 minuts drive you will eventually come to the Sungai Pelek town and a further 10-15 minutes drive will lead you to the Bagan Lalang Beach.

We left home about 11.00 am and reached our destination about 2 hours later. The last time we were in Seri Malaysia Bagan Lalang was about two years ago. Not much had changed since then. Upon arrival we checked in at the Seri Malaysia Hotel. Checking in was not a problem as we would normally pre-book our hotel much earlier. The rate for a family room is RM160.00 as it was not a weekend rate nor peak season.

Morib Beach Revisited....

As promised in our previous blog to Morib beach, we were quite impressed by the oulook of the Impian Morib Hotel, and so here we are on the last day of the year spending the night at the hotel.
The travel from our house in Selayang took us from the Middle Ring Road 2 to the KESAS highway and right through the Maju Expressway.

This is a different route from the road that we took on our earlier visit. We then turn off in State road 81B right to the Banting town. On this trip we passed through towns with peculiar names such as Olak Lempik. The other towns that we passed through are Kanchong Darat, Telok Panglima Garang, Tongkah, Simpang Morib etc...
We reached Impian Morib Hotel at about 3.00 pm. Checking in was a breeze as I had made booking a day earlier. Our Superior room was RM180 (weekend rate) and furnished with 1 queen bed and a single bed (the hotel allows up to 5 pax for the Superior room). This was perfect as my son would have his own bed to sleep in. Our room was at the ground floor and is remarkably spacious. Amenities and clealiness was good. We had selected ASTRO channels and also a mini fridge in the room. The room also has a french window that overlooks the swimming pool area.
The pool was quite big compared to some other hotels that we had been to.
