So, the wife and I have just come back from four excellent days at Kuala Lumpur's 'Luxury Urban Retreat' having been thoroughly pampered and fed. As you may have seen in my other Trip Advisor reviews, when we go away we really are looking for the best of the best and as far as a Luxury City Resort goes, the Club at Saujana Resort has got to be up there with the best anywhere.
So why did we choose the Club at Saujana Resort? We did the usual and browsed the internet and found a well known Luxury Publication, with Nast in the name stating that this place was one of the best hotels of its type, that's a lot of praise to live up to and for me a bit of a personal challenge to see if this was true.
From the time we arrived to the time we left, the resort didn't fail to impress. It's always nice to go somewhere that treats you a bit special and goes the extra mile to anticipate what you want. I noticed someone had previously commented that the staff were, let's say too enthusiastic to the point of annoyance?! Come on - when you spend good money going to a luxury resort you want to be pampered, you want to be fawned upon, you want the 'all hail me' - well I do!
The accomodation was impressive, we took a Superior Suite which offered us all that we would want, big LCD TV's. luxury bathroom, big living/dining rooom, cakes, sweets and 'nick nacks' and a huge comfortable bed. Only slight annoyance were the dressing gowns, they were either made for marathon runners or we had one ladies gown and another ladies gown!
Breakfast in the morning was wide ranging and of a high quality, afternoon cocktails and canapes were a nice warm up to the main the event 'Dinner in the restaurants', all I can say about the food is wow.... Senja Restaurant was amazing and the Food at the Restaurant in the Club at Saujana was right up there with it.
I did also give the golf a try, being on my own I needed a playing partner so got the resort manager to play and all I can say is beautiful course coupled with my poor golfing ability and pre-prepared excuses equals a hot frustrating day! and since when did the highest score not win in a game?
In a nutshell, I really liked it here and can now see why it has the great reputation it does and judging by the reviews others have left, I'm not the only one. I will definately be going back again.
