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
