<p>From the flurry of activities found in the west coast of the Malaysian Peninsular, retreat to a place to find some rest and relaxation. A <a href="http://bookings.tunehotels.com/campaigns/856.asp?utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=seo&amp;utm_campaign=SEO-kotaBharu">holiday in Kota Bharu</a> would be a welcome change.
