Hotel Review: Palm Garden Hotel, Putrajaya x SplashMania Stay Experience

School's out! To all the mama and papas out there, check out this latest promotion from Palm Garden Hotel, Putrajaya - the SplashMania Stay Experience which promises a comfortable stay at the hotel plus a fun-filled unforgettable day out at SplashMania to keep your kids entertained this school holiday season. 



Palm Garden Hotel, Putrajaya is located in IOI Resort City, and is a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, a range of independent boutique hotels within Marriott Bonvoy. Be greeted by the large wooden wau installment at the hotel lobby - the wau is a traditional kite originating from Malaysia, while sipping on your welcome drink. 

The Room
We checked in to the Family Room (46 sqm), a spacious, contemporary space with 1 king-sized bed and 1 twin bed - perfect for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids. The hotel has recently undergone refurbishment so all rooms are modern and elegantly designed with elements of Malaysian culture. There is also a work desk, sofa, LCD TV, mini fridge, coffee/tea making facilities, as well as a bathtub/shower in the bathroom - everything you need for a comfortable stay.




Food / Dining
Breakfast is included with this package, and is served daily from 6.30am to 10.30am at Palms Cafe, the hotel's all day dining restaurant. The breakfast selection was fantastic - we thoroughly enjoyed Asian specialties such as the nasi lemak, mee goreng, a selection of roti made to order, as well as the pastries, egg counter, and more. The barista here also makes a very good cuppa coffee (with nice coffee art to boot).





You can also enjoy a la carte lunch or dinner here at Palms Cafe, and buffets are usually served on weekends or during public holidays and festive season. We had two of our dinners here, ordering from their a la carte menu - we recommend the Wild mushroom soup (RM35), served in a farmer's loaf, Melting Cheese burger (RM48), Grilled Lamb Chops (RM80) and Spaghetti aglio e olio (RM45). 






For fans of Nyonya cuisine, a visit to Madam Lee Nyonya Private Dining is a must. The dining space is beautiful and vast. Upon arrival, we were served with Kam Cheng, their welcome drink and invited to try on their Nyonya kebaya for free, should we wish. Start with the Pie Tee, crunchy top hats filled with jicama, mushrooms and prawns, followed by a selection of delectable mains such as Kapitan Ayam, Lemak Nenas Udang, Ayam Buah Keluak, Nyonya Chap Chye, Nyonya Curry Mee and Nyonya Nasi Ulam. 










Located directly below the restaurant is Baba Bar, a stylish lounge blending Peranakan heritage with modern flair. You will find handcrafted cocktails and mocktails with a local touch as well as light bites from Madam Lee served here. Chat the night away with your friends, or entertain yourself with a game of foosball, pool or watching a football match on the large screen TV.




Hotel guests are also invited to unwind from 4-6pm daily at the Courtyard with their welcome ritual, Kopi Dulu. Local snacks and kuih-muih is served along with an old-style coffee brewed the traditional way, employing a cloth strainer and a vintage charcoal stove. 




Hotel Facilities
For the fitness fanatics, there is a well-equipped gym in the hotel, accessible by hotel keycard 24/7. There are two outdoor swimming pools; one of which is suitable for children and comes with a water slide. There is also a small playground area next to the pool. 





The SplashMania Stay Experience
Guests booking under this package will receive 2 adult + 2 kids tickets to SplashMania. Return transfer from the hotel to SplashMania is also included in the price. 

SplashMania is an expansive 18-acre water theme park located in Gamuda Cove, a 30-minute journey from the hotel. The theme park features 39 exciting rides and attractions, suitable for all different age groups. Our kids had such a fun time exploring the theme park and enjoying the various rides / attractions - their favourites include the Shaka Waka, Plunge, Sumaumeira Drop, Twista and Maniac Racers. Highly recommended for a family fun day out!





Other family activities
The hotel is located within a 5-min walking distance from IOI City Mall, the largest shopping mall in Malaysia. Here, you can indulge in lots of activities with your family such as ice skating, watching a movie at the cinema, shopping, roller skating, singing to your heart's content at the karaoke, bowling, or visit IOI City Farm, Malaysia's first indoor urban wildlife adventure park. The hotel also provides a complimentary shuttle bus service to the mall.
