Our Reccee team consisting of Edna, Vincent and myself visited Turi Beach, with Sales and Marketing Director, Zainal to bring us around the Resort.
We were welcomed by the friendly staff at Turi and felt immensely refreshed by the cold towels & rejuvenating home-made ginger honey drinks upon our arrival !
We loved the vast breezy lobby with a hint of modernised structure which was complimented seamlessly by the rustic and raw feel of natural wooden furnishing imported from Bali.
Here are some photos taken around the premises. (Click on image to enlarge)
