Valentine Day has always been very special for me because it is the day of my first date with my then boyfriend, and now husband. This year, we had an early celebration at Awana Genting Highlands on 1 February 2009.
We wanted to celebrate it at somewhere not too far from town and yet to have a tranquility and relaxing holiday. Finally, we decided to go to Awana Genting Highlands. We checked the internet and found a very tempting rate for a 2 day 1 night stay at Awana Hotels & Resorts. Despite it was a public holiday in KL on 1 February 2009, this 5-stars hotel offer a really competitive rate at RM99 for a one night tower room plus breakfast for 2. We were delighted with the offer!
We drove to Awana Genting Highlands after lunch on 1 February 2009 and the check-in was a breeze...the front desk staffs were courteous and we were assigned a room at 27th floor. The room also came with 2 complimentary return tickets for the Skyway.
The tower room was spacious with 2 queen-sized beds and the views were spectacular. We were assigned a room with the golf course view & swimming pool and we were really excited! It was really romantic standing at the balcony & sipping a glass of red wine. It was so refreshing and takes our minds away from the daily hustle and bustle of city life.
We spend the rest of the day strolling around Awana and checking out the Koi pond, go for a swim at the heated pool and jungle trekking. The air was so fresh and I regretted not booking a second night at Awana. Later in the evening, we went up to Genting Highlands and managed to catch a movie "The Wedding Game" at the Genting International Showroom. We also try our luck at the Casino and had lots of fun there.
Buffet breakfast was good with a good selections of local and western foods. I loves the rendang ayam that goes with the nasi lemak. It was really yummy and authentic. We had so much that we had to skip lunch for that day.
Overall, I had a great Valentine celebration with hubby at Awana Genting Highlands. We look forward for more exciting deals from Awana islands & highlands resorts and I am sure I will not be disappointed!
