Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa, Subang Jaya (20 December 2014)

After Johor, we wanted to end our 2014 Travel Bug fever with one last short break to celebrate Ryan's and the twins birthday. However, Lan and I do not want to travel out of Selangor due to time constraints, so we decided to booked a stay in the Sunway Resort Hotel and Spa, Subang Jaya. 

The location of the hotel is an obvious plus points, First it is near to home and secondly, it's connected to Sunway Pyramid Mall and Sunway Lagoon. The one major problem with the hotel is that you need to share parking with the Mall, so going in at 3pm during check in time and trying to get a parking is kinda frustrating especially during the school holidays and festive seasons.

THE ROOM

We stayed in the Premier Twin Room which I find to be spacious, comfortable and clean

The room also come with a day bed, which doubles as a trundle bed, so there's plenty of room for our family of five.

The huge bathroom comes with a bath to the kids delight :)

THE FACILITIES

Gorgeous view to wake up to, Alhamdullilah

I think this resort has one of the best swimming pool in town. The pool itself is pretty basic but it is spacious and there's 2 separate children pool and a waterfall feature. It was so cool, Ryan didn't even bug us to bring him to Sunway Lagoon which is just a stone away (and within his eyesight :p) Despite the holiday crowd, the kids managed to swim and play around quite comfortably.

BREAKFAST BUFFET

The room came with free breakfasts for the whole family. We were satisfied with the variety of food offered. There's also plenty of seats offered but I do advice you to come down quick because it was super pack when we left at around 8.30am (Thank god for my early risers :p)

Review: I give our experience at the hotel 8.9/10. It would have been much higher without the parking issue. Anyway Lan and I enjoyed the almost hassle free staycation experience so much we're thinking of doing it again in the future :) Such a satisfying break to end the year. Alhamdullilah...

Angry Bird Activity Park, Johor (16 November 2014)

One of Johor newest attraction is the Angry Bird Activity Park situated in KOMTAR JBCC. I was curious about the park and the activities it offers, as there's not much review about it online. Since the Park is just  5 minutes drive away  from our hotel we decided to drop by. Not like we're in JB often,right?

The entry fees is RM60 per session during weekends/public holidays and school holidays (each session is limited to 4 hours) I find the price a bit pricey as compared to other activity parks we've been due to the time limitation. For more information on the ticket prices/schedule/activities check out the website: Angry Bird Park.

 

Park Tips: Don't forget your socks and do avoid huge bags as you may need to rent a locker.

 

Zone: Utopia

This zone focuses a lot on tumbling activities (tight rope walking, trampoline and swinging). Adventurous little gymnast would find this entertaining

Zone: Classic

Zone : Danger

 

Review: The activities are fun and different, for example the tumbling station and "laser obstacle" station was a kind of a novelty to us as we have yet to encounter it elsewhere. Ryan and Ranya also tried this real cool activity station where they they jumped from a 1.5m high dive station onto a huge mattress. This park is certainly not for the dainty kids who prefers cutesy rides. I would recommend the Hello Kitty and Little Big Club for that. We had fun and will probably visit again but on a normal day so that we won't be subjected to the time limit. All in all we had a fun day, alhamdullilah :)

Legoland Waterpark, Johor (15 November 2014)

LEGOLAND WATERPARK 

This is our 3rd visit to Legoland but our first to the waterpark. Take note of the separate charges/entrance. We decided to get the combo tickets as it was worth it especially with our Maybank Cardholder discounts. For more information on the park and ticket price check out Legoland Malaysia

The water park is not super huge but there's plenty to do. We easily spend 3 hours here. There's facilities like locker room, changing room, cabana (for rental) and plenty of seats and tents around to park your stuff.

I find the waterpark super baby friendly as compared to the others we've been. Love that there's a special covered area for small children. We also enjoyed the more challenging "Build a raft river" where we took a swim around the park with the kids :p It was an adventure trying to swim-drag 3 pre-scholers who can't swim without any major incident. I feel like Mrs Indiana Jones (haha) The plus point is since we visited a week before school holidays we managed to avoid the crowd which is super crucial to MY enjoyment :p

LEGOLAND 

We also had fun in Legoland though it was raining on and off. It didn't really affect us much since we've been here twice before and have seen and enjoyed most of the attractions.

• Legoland Visit 2012 
• Legoland Visit 2013

At least this time around the twins are a bit older thus are able to get on and enjoy the rides together with Ryan :)

*yeay* driving license for my babies, good, now they can drive mummy around. Anyway the attractions in Legoland are the same as what I've blogged before so I'm not going to repeat. But kids being kids, despite having seen all of them before are still super excited to be there...

New Attraction : Star Wars Miniland

Ryan is now a Star Wars fan so he is ecstatic for the chance to visit the Star Wars inspired miniland. There's even a short cartoon at the beginning of the tour which was hilarious. It was really cool especially if you've watched the movie.

Baby Shopaholic takes Legocity

I bought some Legos for the kiddies. It was a bargain especially the Chima and Ninja turtle ones which was on sale. The Ninja Turtle Lego was actually a part of the new collection but was on 25% discount just because the box was dented -__-  Apalagi, Ryan tak nampak pun mummy offer hehehe :) Anyways Legoland did not disappoint. The kids are already asking for our NEXT visit....
