Having stayed in First world hotel and theme park hotel previously, I must say I love resort world for the zen- ness feel to the rooms. Traveling with small kids means comfort is an absolute must. Since the casinos are not part of the itinerary, we would spend most of our time trekking to and fro first world theme park and coming home to the room feels just heavenly. Think : trolleys, carrying of kids, up and down escalators and more escalators, lunging along milk containers..just so we can jostle crowds of people (peak season is horrid. The raya holidays were much better than the last school holiday) and queue for hours at mini rides...
Why is the walk to first world so far away??! Maybe without kids......
Food is overpriced and just so so. I have become fond of this lil herbal shop for soups (just around the corner after you go up the escalators from resort world , and go past the monte Carlo casino).I can't place the name. But I liked the bah kut teh and herbal soups. It was pretty satisfying, but then I do like hot soups in chilly weather....:)
Don't go during the school holidays, do bring your own snacks, do check out the food at the mushroom farm and even the restaurants at gohtong jaya(pls dun order fish. How pricey can it be?! Obviously VERY). Otherwise...enjoy...
