Resorts World Awana

I haven't been to this hotel since my parents brought me and my brother in the early 90s. That's almost 30 years ago haha. Just decided to try stay one night at this place bringing my parents, my brother's family with kids. It's a very nostalgic feeling because the hotel is somewhat same but slightly different a bit at certain areas. The lobby is nice and very open space. Staffs are very friendly and attentive during check-in. The hotel rooms were nice, adequate and comfortable. Not too small, just nice. It has a balcony too which I totally forgot. Haha. Oh and now they upgraded the tv to smart tv which now you can watch Netflix, Disney+, YouTube even. Nice touch on that. The restaurants in the hotel were also one of the highlights because it has 2 restaurants, one is more western food and the other is more local Asian food. The western food was very delicious and although slightly pricey, it was worth it and the kids love it. There's also some coffee shop at the lobby which you can chill for coffee and desserts. There is also a pinball machine which definitely hit the nostalgia even more and the kids was excited because they never seen or play one before but they love playing it now. There's also a mini mart outside of the hotel if you need snacks, drinks, swimming trunk, goggles for the swimming activity. Most frequent question is the parking. Where do you park and do you have to pay? Now there are 2 parking spaces. The sheltered covered one and the open space, no roof type of park. The sheltered parking one, you have to pay using touch n go card, and it's RM18 per night flat rate. If you leave before hitting the 6th hour, per hour is RM3. The other parking space which is the open space no roof, located just the opposite of the sheltered one, that one is free, can park any space available. But there is no spotlight at night and considered park at your own risk.

Location and free shuttle services

The location is surrounded by beautiful scenery, and there’s plenty of space with lots of activities to do. Our room was spacious with two full queen beds and a magnificent view overlooking the cable car and the whole resort, especially stunning at night. I particularly loved the verandah where you can sit, have coffee, and enjoy the cool night breeze. The shower was strong and hot despite being on a higher floor. They also provided mineral water, a fridge, and even a water dispenser in the hallway. For the price, it’s really good and I’d definitely return.

The room is a bit smaller than the picture but it was still spacious and comfortable, clean, and the hotel itself is really well maintained. The pool area with the bar is very nice, the reception staff are very friendly but the bar staff customer service can be improved. The Ramadan buffet was affordable and value for money with a huge variety, the bar food is very basic and did not meet my expectations, but overall the experience was nice.
