Reviews from Real Guests:

K-TravelMuse: Stayed two nights and had a very mixed experience. Overall, I would say the staff are great, positive, friendly and welcoming with a few exceptions. The rooms are nice and some great touches, like mini robes for kids and kids size sink. The kids loved the whole themed room. The breakfast was basically inedible. It was awful. No live egg station. I consider that a basic. So much cheap deep fried food. The cereals were poor quality, high sugar and not recognizable. The juices were flavoured, computed water. The food in the park was similar, mostly deep fried, fast food with not a healthy option in sight. It’s Malaysia, so I’m surprised, they couldn’t even offer satay!! The parks were good and kids had a great time. But they don’t open till 10am. Makes me wonder if anyone involved with this actually has kids.

jawang: Legoland was awesome. atleast the nearest and fun u can have in this country. it has both dry & wet park with lotsa attractions and rides. ranging from kids to adult which mostly caters for kids. but i love the roller coaster which i found it decent and enjoyed few other entertainments. i bought the yearly pass when i went for few times. but visitors can get attractive prices from few platforms where they give discounts. normal price for dry park: RM 189, water park: RM 139 and sea life: RM 89. i didnt get to go there when the sea life is open but hopefully soo . so head over there and enjoy the fun
