Kuala Lumpur Hotel Tips by kphstar

The Villa is one of several accommodation alternatives that Sunway provides for their high end guest.

Set within the Sunway Lagoon and Resort complex amongst the trees and out of the viewing public, this romantic hide-away takes your breath away with it charm and isolation.

Each is an individual apartment with it's own bar and spacious courtyard overlooking your very own pool. This leads you into your enclosed bedroom and TV view lounge, connected to your own fanned balcony. At the rear is your open-air bathroom.

Privacy and seclusion is the biggest sell of this place. However, if you require more, then there is the 24 hour butler, 2 hours of happy hour down at the Villa's own restaurant where you can have dinner or your complimentary buffet breakfast.

I know this sounds rich and it is. But how else to celebrate one's anniversay.

Just a stones throw away from KLCC, you've got yourself the beautiful Mandarin Hotel. The hotel and rooms are what you would expect from a 5 star etablishment in KL city. The staffs are friendly and helpful.

However, the breakfast buffet isn't the best and can be improved upon.

Also, it isn't the most baby stroller friendly place when you are trying to get out off and back into the hotel.

The picture is of the view you get from our accommodation room. Baby not included.

This hotel is superb through and through. From it's intimiate foyer to it's grand ballroom, every part of this hotel has being design to draw you in. I was fortunate enough to stay in one of it's spacious suite during my engagement and wedding.

This is a must if you can spot the extra cash. It'll be worth your while. Also, you have to visit it Executive Lounge on the utmost floor of the hotel. It's a perfect place to spend having your breakfast

This 6000 room hotel has got to be the worst hotel I have ever been to. It is unbelievable what hotel guest has to go through in order to get a room.

On arrival at it's large and plain lobby area. One is confronted by a sea of people - ranging from those wandering around aimlessly to those laid out on the floor in exhaustion. This was at noon on Sunday.

The Hotel reception made everyone take a number and wait for there turn to check in. Unfortunately, this process took us 3.5 hours. Thie screwy system forced people coming in later in the day to wait even longer. Worst this was there was not enough waiting room not was there storage space if you had check-in baggage.

On entering our room after finally checking in, we were surprised by how smal it was. It sim[ly had the bare essentials - bed, small TV (no remote), chair and a small bathroom. However, it was clean and tidy. It's only saving grace.

I would not recommend this place onto anyone. It has not facilities for it guests and would prefer it for us to leave ASAP so they mush the next herd of people in.

Unique Qualities: The only unique feature about his placeis the god awful paint job they'd done ads the hotel's facade.

Address: Genting Highlands

Awana Genting Highlands Golf & Country Resort is certainly a refreshing getaway from the heat and smog of the city life.

This 5-Star hotel, has 493 well appointed guestrooms, function rooms , and an 18-hole award winning golf course. Located on a hill, it is surrounded by a lush tropical jungle that makes for the perfect setting.

Stepping into the Awana is like steeping into a new world, especially if you've had to spend a night at one of the other hotels up the mountain.

If you have to go to the Casino, I wold highly recommend you stay at Awana. It close enough to the action, yet far enough from the chaos.

Unique Qualities: The 3 bedroom apartment on the higher floors are spacious and perfect for a family.

Also, the general restuarant on the ground floor and an excellent view overlooking the golf course.
