thank you so much sis =)

sis para sayo ano pa ba magandang puntahan sa genting highlands?

sa bukit bintang kami sa may 34 Lorong 1/77A, Jalan Changkat Thambi Dollah, Off Jalan Pudu... may pudu sentral at kl sentral sila so sa pudu sentral ba kami buy ng ticket o sasakay?

[phurple0515]

KL sentral ka na lang sis, kasi mas madali don.  malayo pa rin yong hotel niyo sa Pudu sentral.  from Bukit Bintang, mag-monorail na lang kayo to KL sentral.  then sa may bus station sa lower ground, don ka na bumili.

matagal na ko di nagpupunta don sis kasi di naman na maganda ngayon ang Genting resort e.  Masarap lang magpalamig don   Siguro yong Ripleys at Sky Adventure. 

[SOFIEMAE]

sis phurple0515 lumipat ako ng hotel ko tumawag ako sa AGODA naka full refund ako kasi nag rebook ako ng new hotel sa kanila kaya will be staying na sa may Sky Hotel 1 A Jalan Bintang 55100 Kuala Lumpur kulit namin no hehe... nextweek na alis namin daming changes parin =) malapit lang din ba ito sa malls sis?

waaahhh sis phurple0515 ano ba mas maganda ditong location or hotel nagkamali pa ata ako ng branch nila yung nasa itaas ba ang mas ok na location o ito Sky Express Hotel 128 JALAN PUDU, 55100 KUALA LUMPUR , Malaysia

[phurple0515]

Any feedback on Putrajaya lake cruise? Ok ba yun, even the one na 45mins only without meals?

[ashey]

hi mga sis, pahelp naman po.. we'll be in Malaysia by January for 2days. and kasama po namin yung 3yo daughter ko. I just have few questions lang po sana, hopefully matulungan nio po kami:

1) Our ETA in KL Airport is 19:30 and we plan to stay at Sky Hotel for 2nights.

Q: may idea po ba kau if full payment parin kami for the 1st night kahit late night checkin na kami?
Q: how can we get to hotel from the airport?

2) 1st day itinerary is City Tour & Shopping at day and Petronas Twin Tower at night.we wanted to see the following places below:

- Putrajaya Mosque
- Beryl's Chocolate Kingdom
- Central Market
- Menara KL Tower
- Sri Mahamariamman
- Masjid Jamek
- KL bird park
- Istana Negara
- Dayabumi Complex Kuala Lumpur 
- Istana Budaya
- Merdeka Square
- KL Railway Station
- Sultan Abdul Samad Building

Q: kaya ba to mapuntahan in a day lang?
Q: how can we get from one place to another?
Q: may marerecommend po ba kayo kung pano magiging sequence nito?
Q: and is there any other places worth visiting aside from these?


3) Half-day tour at Genting Highlands/Sunway Lagoon or Legoland
   Then, prep for our 19:50 flight back to Manila.

Q: Enough napo ba ang half-day for this trip?
Q: what time are we supposed to be in the airport for checkin?
Q: Are those theme parks too far from Sky Hotel?

TIA!

[chinkee]

pasagot po.. ..

1) * as far as I know, yes, full payment pa din.. just check with hotel.. last time we arrived 12 midnight na.. full payment pa rin sa first night though its a different hotel
* Note: the KL Intl Airport is medyo malayo sa KL City itself... You can take the train from KLIA to KL Sentral then from there take a taxi na lang since you have your 3yo daughter with you

2) If its okay for you,  you can go to the Hop on Hop off Bus (HOHO)
here's the site: http://www.myhoponhopoff.com/index.php.. nadadaanan na rin niya yung major landmarks ng KL.. bus comes every 30 mins ata for every stop...
I think kaya naman siya in One day.. it depends on how long kayo maglilibot sa mga attractions and sa KL Bird park

3) I Havent been to Sunway Lagoon Pero..
* to go to Legoland, may 5 hours ++ na travel time.. not advisable
* Genting Highlands would be okay but make sure hanggang after lunch lang kayo then proceed
to airport na... agahan niyo na lang siguro ang punta.. travel time from KL to Genting Highlands is about 1-2 hrs

^ just a correction on the airport, pacheck na lang if you are landing in KLIA or LCCT.  both airports are still about 10-15 mins. away from each other.  If it's a budget airlines, sa LCCT ka. then you can take the bus to KL sentral then from KL Sentral, take the monorail, baba ka ng bukit bintang, then lakarin niyo na lang papunta sa hotel.  ganito ginawa namin when we fetched our relatives tapos hinatid namin sa Sky hotel.

Genting highlands naman, 10 am lang bukas ang mga theme park and pag halfday, kapos sa oras since travel time to genting is about 1-1.5 hrs one way depending sa traffic sa highway dito sa KL.

sis mas cheaper ba yan if I follow your instruction? kasi if airport transfer ng sky hotel nasa RM100 at same lang din ba if mag taxi kami around RM100 rin? kahit na tatlo ba kami mas mura pa rin mag bus? ano ang signage ng bus na dapat naming sakyan? at pag nag monorail? will arrive at LCCT. thanks sis!

sis isa pang tanong from LCCT yung 6 frends ko punta sila ng SG on the same day may babayaran pa ba sila sa airport? same with SG to LCCT?  Tama ba wala ng fees? Dito lang ba sa atin may maraming bayaran? ang alam ko kasi fr SG to mnl wala kaming binayaran kasi kasama na yun sa ticket...  thanks

sis, parang nakita ko tong sky hotel. di lang ako sure if sky hotel ba talaga nakita ko. hehe. eto ba yung malapit sa jalan alor?

[phurple0515]

^ medyo sis.. nasa likod siya ng federal hotel at low yat plaza

^^ sis sofie, pag nag-bus ka, yong Skybus ang usually na sinasakyan to KL Sentral, before ka lumabas ng exit ng airport me bilihan don ng tickets or sa mismong konduktor na ng skybus ka bumili, ok lang.  its RM9/pax.  then pag monorail ka, around RM1.60 ata per person.  pwede din from kl sentral, mag-taxi kayo don sa naka-queue sa first floor, siguro around RM10-15 lang yon. 

of course, the convenience of not walking na pag diretso taxi ka na from LCCT (less hassle of traveling)

wala na rin babayaran sa airport ng LCCT to SG sis and vice versa.

[SOFIEMAE]

then pag monorail ka, around RM1.60 ata per person.  pwede din from kl sentral, mag-taxi kayo don sa naka-queue sa first floor, siguro around RM10-15 lang yon. 

thank you sis =) bale ba pag nag monorail kami ticket rin un or parang EZ link card? Hindi ba mahirap sumakay dun tulad dito sa atin na siksikan at mahirap lalo na pag may mga dala kaming luggage?  laking tipid kung bus then monorail lang pala kami hehe... basta bukit bintang station kami baba... haysss apat na tulog nalang makikita ko na ang petronas tower... 

[phurple0515]

^ token siya pag single journey.  meron naman silang card na i-lo-loadan mo parang stored, pero i would say not recommended for you kung di naman kayo lagi sasakay ng train. or kung saglit lang kayo dito.  depende what time ka sasakay ng monorail.  usually pag working days at peak hours, madami talaga sasakay pero karamihan bababa ng bukit bintang or raja chulan.  pag kl sentral ka naman manggagaling, no issue kasi yon ang unang station e.

ah ok sis d' best ka talaga =) thanks soooo much!

[phurple0515]

^ welcome, and enjoy your stay here

[phurple0515]

just a caution for those coming over here, as I have stated before, karamihan ng mga taxi sa KL city area nangongontrata.  so just get a taxi don sa mga may stand esp. those na me kiosk na for you to pay first the fare before riding the taxi. yon mga legal.  bibihira lang ang magmemetro talaga around the city centre.
