Traders Hotel Johor

We took the opportunity of the long weekend to be away, it was initally a trip to the Hong Kong Disneyland but Daddy wasn't keen to bring BB K to HK. Then we sort of decided to Gold Coast but made a decision to postponed it till later. Eventually, V got slighty irritated with our constant change of plans *opps and we relented to going to Legoland. I have read rave reviews of it but there was a "hoax" of kidnappers that sort of steered us away actually but of course eventually made that decision to go- Just because it was just a stone's throw away! 

I did a little reseacrch and decided on the Traders since we were to be there for 5 days. We needed some where price friendly (I am comparing with Legoland Hotel during CNY), and no fuss when it comes to food. I settled on Traders Club Floor coz we decided on NOT going anywhere but just rot in the hotel. For Club lounge caters breakfast and snacks during Happy Hour... okie you got me there, it was the HH that I was interested. I mean Free flow of alcohol while the children are occupied. The formula is quite right, right? 

The area we hung around most evenings

Comes with that cartoon channel for baby sitting while we chill

There is 3 of such wide space areas 

The set up for breakfast and those who prefer this coffee house set up. *Do note they do not provide baby chair. 

We spent our mornings and evening here with the exception of our day to LegoLand. The service was exemplary which was worth that extra price. Here are the spread they offer ...

Breakfast spread with made to order eggs from the kitchen 

Hor d'oeuvres spread with 1/2 bar

Attached on the roof top is the hotel swimming pool, it an infinity pool overlooks the Marina (nothing much seriously) But I must add that the waters are COLD! Omg, we tried going there in the morning and once in the evening.. it was Burr cold. The children didn't do very well inside especially the baby. 

Here is a view of our Club Floor room, seriously don't think there is much of a difference though Mr Bellboy told us that Club Floor rooms are bigger. Room is comfy as you can see in the photo and the children had a day bed to play around in. The King sized bed is slighly on the high side for the baby and so its better to create a play area around the day bed. There are cartoons for the children and Channel News Asia/HBO for the adults. 

The room set up

There isn't a bath tub so bring your blow up ones if baby are younger in age. The girls totally enjoyed the "Rain Shower", it became their highlight of the trip since the pool was too cold. I must add that the bathroom floor is on the slippery side so better be in the bathroom with them when they are having their rain shower water play. 

Traders offer a free shuttle to Legoland but you will have to book your seat with front desk. We didn't use the shuttle mainly coz it was full! But we did ask the staff at the Club Lounge who recommended us to drive and park at Legoland for 7 Ringgit. I would recco to drive/park since you won't want to miss the highlight of the fireworks which are later in the night and the last shuttle I was told leave at 7pm.

We enjoyed the stay alot and will use them again for a staycation for their location, security and booze/food. We had a hiccup and my green chilli didn't come with my horfun despite calling 3 times. But it was CNY and we understand they were running on a full load. Room service food was a bit blah but I will reccomend a cafe by the Marina that serves yummy local food if you don't mind walking a little. Don't bother eating at that Lat's place, save your calories for other restaurants. 

*Disclaimer: Daddy paid for the trip but he says will gladly accept sponsership for review for hotels.
