Every year for my kid’s birthday, I will arrange a surprise weekend staycation. It’s also the time for our family bonding moments. This round for my eldest boy birthday, I decided to bring them to DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside. I booked a 2D/1N stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside
The reason I selected DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside is because it’s super family friendly with amenities such as splash pool, game room, arcade room, kids club, spa and many more. Kids will be entertained and for parents, we can rejuvenate at the spa. Absolutely perfect!
When we arrived for check-in, we were greeted with friendly staff, and they served us warm, soft chocolate chip cookies and chill drinks. This is their practice to welcome the guests for the day.
I booked a King Deluxe Executive and Twin Deluxe Executive connecting room. The King Deluxe room is spacious and comes with a Super King Size bed and chaise lounge on the side. If you’ve young kids, this room is perfect and fits up to a family of 3 pax. As for the Twin Deluxe room, it comes with Super Twin Size Bed and chaise lounge as well.
After checking in, I brought the boys to the kids’ club as I have planned a rejuvenating session at Mandara Spa (Couple Goals :P). The kids were more than happy to stay at the kids’ club gaming enjoying the role-playing stations and PlayStation desk. On top of that, they can also walk to the arcade room and game room too. The kids club, game room and arcade room are situated close to one another. Heads up, to prepare extra $$ for the kids at the arcade as they’ve tons of games machine. For the game room, they can enjoy playing darts or ping pong.
Once kids are settled, we headed to Mandara Spa. We were greeted by the friendly staff, and they kindly explained the treatments and oils available while we sip on a cup of cold ginger tea. After discussion, we decided to go for 1-hour Aromatherapy Treatment. We headed to the couple’s room which is clean and spacious. OMG…. they’ve got a bathtub and shower room equipped in the room too!
As the masseuse, kneed our tired muscles, we were so relaxed and fell asleep. Woke up feeling super rejuvenated! Before leaving the spa, we enjoyed a cup of hot ginger tea. At Mandara Spa, they also offered family package where parents get to enjoy a massage and kids get to do pedicure / shoulder massage. Mandara Spa also offers facial treatments using premium products from Elemis. It’s better to book in advance as rooms are limited, to make your appointment, call +603 8890 0000.
It’s pool time and honestly, I was amazed as DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside has 3 different types of pool. There’s the splash pool with water slides, infinity pool and a rooftop pool. My kids had a blast switching between the splash pool and infinity pool. For those who enjoyed a relaxing swim, the roof top pool with cabanas are more suitable. If you want to catch the sunset or sunrise, then take a dip in the infinity pool. Each pool caters to different needs and is certainly well- thought of DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside .
Feeling famish after our pool time, we headed to Makan Kitchen. The restaurant served international buffets and ala-carte meals. We will be having our dinner and breakfast here during our stay. At Makan Kitchen, there’s indoor and outdoor dining seating available. We tried the International Buffets and there were a variety of food available from Chinese, Western and Indian Cuisine. I would highly recommend trying Grill BBQ station, Indian Station, Chinese station and Noodle Station. Meats were well-marinated and juicy. As for noodle station, the laksa soup was good with the right touch of spiciness. Indian cuisine was surprisingly delish featuring an amazing blend of spice and herbs flavours.
Desserts choices were aplenty too with varieties of local kuih-muih, western cakes, jellies and many more. Thanks to the friendly staff for surprising my son with a birthday song and beautifully plated kuih lapis cake. It’s so sweet of them!
After enjoying our dinner, we headed to our rooms for a good night rest. Next morning, I did a quick routine at the gym (OMG….they have Total Resistance Exercises (TRX) equipment) before heading to Makan Kitchen for breakfast. The food varieties were quite a lot. There are waffles, omelette, Dim Sum, Nasi Lemak, Fresh pastries and many more. All was pretty yummy!
We all took time to stroll in the hotel as the architecture design and landscape were gorgeous. Many instagrammable spots are available like the Japanese Garden, Clock Tower, Cabanas at Roof Top and many more.
This was truly a fun Birthday Staycation for my eldest son. Yes, I would recommend DoubleTree by Hilton Putrajaya Lakeside as your weekend family getaway!
