Since our target destination was Farm In the City and I-City Shah Alam so i decide to stay around Subang area. As usual, i will search all the hotel booking website include Tripadvisor. My criteria for choosing hotel are "Find a luxury Hotel at a budget hotel price".
I always choose hotel with swimming pool and room with bathtub. Of course ample of free parking space also an important criteria for self driving trip. Subang and Sunway itself does't have much choice. At last i "lock" it on...
Booking.com, Asiatravel, Asia Web Direct, Agoda, Asiarooms.......
My booking experience tell me always counter check with the hotel own website. Ha ! Ha ! At last i found the best deals.....Deals To Go Voucher

Wow ! Not bad right ? 低倒烂 ！
So what to wait. Book la !
After several tried... cannot go through their payment process. Something was wrong.
End up by calling the hotel. After some "ding dong ding dong ", the person who in charge this promotion advise us to purchase manually. Mean bank in $$ and they courier to us. Since no other better deals so ...manual la !! 真嘛烦 ！
But funny things happen ...when we receive the courier, we open up and found only a cover letter. Where is the "Weekend Cheer" voucher ??
Call again the person in charge and she claim that it should be stolen by someone. Anyway she immediately issue another new voucher and email to us. It won't be able to reach us by courier. Because the next day is Saturday and Sunday we are going to check in already. And she do help us to book the room. Specials thanks to Cik Syahida of Holiday Villa HQ for her kind helping.
So without the original voucher we proceed our journey on Sunday morning.
We arrived the hotel at 12 noon. As expected, the check in take more that half and hour.
At last, they accept our photocopy voucher and even free upgrade us to their newly refurnish Corporate Deluxe Room.
Hey ! "Free upgrade" is the word that always like to hear when check in hotel or flight !
Our room located at the other building. The car park lift cannot go up direct to the room. And one have to " Walk - Lift - Walk......Walk - Lift - Walk " then only reach your room. It quite far, luckily the bell boy help us send our luggage to the room.
The approximate 60 meter long corridor
Now, let see the Corporate Deluxe Room interior.
Straight after this....
It was Huge ! The 45 sq.m rooms were really spacious.
The spectacular lake view
Sofa and 40" or 46" LCD TV
Numerous of power outlet on the working desk. We can charged all our gadgets at once. Huge wardrobe. Enough to keep 1 month clothes. Ha ! Who will bring so much clothes to stay hotel !
This is one of the hotel that have most complete set of room amenities. Coffee/ tea making facilities, electronic safe and bathroom scale was provided. The room also equip with 3 telephone. One on desk, one beside bed and last in bathroom. WIFI reception in room was acceptable.
My favorite Bathtub
Bathroom
We make our way to the pool as soon as we settle down all our luggage. My kids can't wait to dip into the pool.
Swimming Pool
My kids does't want to leave so we have our lunch at the pool side.
Since the Poolside Cafe was close. The pool staff help us to call the waiter from the main restaurant. The waiter come down all the way to serve us. Sound like VIP ! We really enjoyed the foods and the pool.
Recreation center consists of badminton, squash, tennis (outdoor floodlit courts), table tennis, fully equipped gymnasium, steam baths, 10-lane bowling alley, snooker, children’s play room, piano room.
Children’s Play Room
Snooker Room
Our package come with a additional bed. One of the reason i consider this deal. I did request it during check in. And do mentioned to the reception in the afternoon while redeem my complimentary legs massage and while going out for dinner. We back at 11 pm. Guess what ? Still nothing ! We came with 2 kids so really need it . How many time need to remind them ? I call up the front desk twice and request them to send as soon as possible. It quite late. We wait till felt sleepy. I lost my temper, i call third time and this time i talk a bit louder and in uncourteous way. I hang up the phone and think that the additional bed should under housekeeping department. If i keep on pushing the front desk may not work. If call direct housekeeping they will end up need to check this and check that. So better make a complain direct to the Manager. I mange to find the Duty Manger phone no on the directory. I call the manager and told him that i will keep on calling him whole night if i still no yet see the bed. After few minute, some one knock our door. A guy carrying a roll away bed came. Ha ! It work ! The guy hand phone rang twice during setting up the bed. I think it must be the manager.

Forgot to take picture as busy on taking food to fill up my stomach.The buffet breakfast have a lot of variety. Typical Malaysian's breakfast. Nasi lemak, fry noodle, bread and many more.
The whole morning was raining. My 2 kids feel disappointed as they cannot continue dip in the pool.
Raining
Bye ! Bye ! Holiday Villa Subang.
