Traveloka : Park Royal Kuala Lumpur

So my significant half told me that we need a short getaway from our hectic life away from work
just for a few days. To recharge and temporarily drop all of our concern and pamper ourselves a little. Usually we’ll do the planning as a couple but this time round, I told him to leave all the planning to me as I wanted to give him a little surprise. But, as soon as I finished my sentence, I got a little panic. Suddenly realised the hassle that I have to go through - finding a nice place to go, a decent hotel, and an affordable flight there. Then, I hoped this pleasant surprise.


If only there is a good, reliable website that do most part of the finding for me. Particularly, one that rate hotels precisely and transparently. So that, I don’t have to take any risk when I deciding on a place to stay. Just as I was thinking of many travel websites around, Traveloka comes to my mind.


One thing that Traveloka stands out from there other booking app was the security of the transaction. With various banks as their official payment partners, such as CitiBank, DBS Bank, OCBC Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and UOB bank, as well as Visa, MasterCard, SAM and e-NETS enabled, there is no hassle in making payment while booking for flight and hotel.


Another benefit I found with Traveloka was the number of hotels that was returned from the search I did. As compared to the other websites, Traveloka provides a more extensive search results. Although to some, too many results might make choosing the best one very difficult, but this well thought-out websites provide an easy-to-reference user ratings at a glance. Not only from their proprietary rating system but also from TripAdvisor so that I can make a better decision when picking an ideal hotel.



Also, I found that the general information of the hotel listing from the search result was easy to glance. Not overly cluttered with unnecessary information like number of people booking the hotel
or that particular hotel was booked how many times before. Which is what I love. Sometimes I wonder if it was just a marketing scheme to draw us into booking the hotel. At least Traveloka did away with such nonsense. Instead, Traveloka included saving that we would get out from the particular hotel, which makes more sense to us, saving conscious beings.



With Traveloka, I found a incredible Hotel for our trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (KL).
Park Royal Kuala Lumpur Hotel is located in the heart of KL. It’s just across the road to the famous Sungei Wang Plaza for our shopping spree. Walk further down to Berjaya Times Square where there is a indoor Theme Park. Lots of food options available too. And if you think all these shopping malls and food places are not enough for you, the monorail station is also within walking distance.
But for us, just staying over the weekends, I don’t think I can find any hotel that is
so well located as Park Royal Kuala Lumpur.


Apart of the ideal location, Park Royal Kuala Lumpur is also equipped with facilities for us to enjoy some couple time we can get after a tiring day of walking. It was nice having a spa session at St. Gregory. We did the bath treatments, he had the Ginger and Herbal Bath which is suppose to detoxify the body and improve blood circulation. Perfectly for him as it is ideal for tired and aching muscles too (I made him carry all my shopping loots :P). and I had the Milk Bath - which nourishes my skin and soak my stress away. My skin become so smooth and bouncy after the Milk bath!


All in all, thanks to Traveloka for our hotel booking. I had made my man really happy with our weekend mini holiday

GENTING HIGHLANDS and KL TRIP

I was thinking of a short holiday trip for so end up I chose Genting Highlands and KL since I haven't been to Genting yet and I miss KL food. I was hoping their theme park renovation could be done soon but I guess it still takes a few years to complete.

Taking the night bus to Genting was terrible! It wasn't because I scared of the darkness or night journey but each time when the driver driving up the slope was quite scary. It was night time, I couldn't see what's on the road clearly and didn't manage to sleep well on the bus. The whole journey took more than 7 hours. We reached Genting around 5AM, still early and we couldn't check in yet. I felt so drained after that.

DAY 1: midnight to morning 

It was raining and we rested at Starbucks while sipping a hot drink. The weather was damn cold and I was freezing!  Even after passing the sunrise time, I still couldn't see the cloud due to the foggy and misty weather.

Jakarta - Bandung Trip Part 2

As promised on my previous blog Jakarta - Bandung Trip 1 , Here is my story trip in Bandung

It was 7am indonesia local time, and we started to depart to Bandung from Jakarta .
Since we left earlier in the morning, it only took 2 hours to reach to Bandung instead of 3 hours
Note : Recommended to left earlier is better to avoid heavy traffic jam .

We passed by 2 Tol with a total  Tol fee of Rp 56,500 ( Rp 8,000 + Rp 46,500 )
Ps : I am not so sure which Tol the driver drove us.  However, the second Tol is the most expensive .
Jakarta has quite number of toll that going to different area  and I am not familiar with it .:)

While on our way to North Bandung Trip, we passed by a nice view of Tea Plantation .
Certainly, bandung is cooler compare to other cities in Indonesia. It is expected that you can
spot Tea Plantation along your way but don't worry it is still under reasonable degree ..

Jakarta - Bandung Trip Part 1

A trip to Jakarta has nothing to impress on other than the high living cost & well known traffic jam
 " BE PATIENT " . " ACCEPT THE FACTs ".  Just Sit in the car to see the traffic
Suggested to left earlier from your place at least an hour before if you are planning to
going somewhere. Otherwise, you gonna be late and your plan will be messed up

Absolutely, wasted your time but it cann't be denied and argued where you are definitely stucked on
your way for hours. For those who live in Jakarta, its nothing for them because they have used to it.
But for me who live in a place that seldom encounter a worse traffic jam is really killing me.
