Nothing arrived, I finally rang them back and told them not to bother but to note it down. There wasn't any recovery done. It was a minor issue but I was surprised that nobody apologised for the tardiness especially when front of house was so service orientated. A little...

"Very good especially for the price paid. The bed was very very firm and not to my liking. Hence the 3 star comfort rating; everything else was great. You are renting an apartment in a large building so many residents as well as some visitors. The facilities were nice and not really populated. Being Australian we spend a lot of time outside and swimming so the kids love the kids rooms, playground and pools and we had everything to ourselves. I don’t think Malaysians have a strong swim culture as...
