LEGOLAND Malaysia have one huge LEGOLAND hotel set right in the middle of the surrounding attractions. You can’t miss it – because it looks as though it’s constructed out of gigantic LEGOBLOCKS! Huge LEGO figures guard the entrance doors and make for really wonderful family photos, too!

Everything is Awesome!

One of our absolute favourite hotel stays anywhere, LEGOLAND Hotels are exactly as the LEGO song says – Everything Is Awesome!

They are themed to the max – absolutely everything, from the walls to the carpet to the lobby to the hotel pool to the very food you eat in the restaurant is – well – LEGO! Or at least, it looks like it. You don’t need to love LEGO to get completely caught up in the fun of a stay inside a LEGOLAND Hotel. It’s a destination all of its own.

LEGOLAND Hotel Lobby

From the moment you enter the main lobby to check in you realise that this is no ordinary hotel. It truly is a LEGO lover’s dream!

The Lobby is covered in play areas. Scattered big LEGO pits for random LEGO building, a giant LEGO castle and pirate ship to play in, and the most LEGO minifigs you’ve ever seen in your life along the wall at Hotel Reception. Good luck getting your kids out of the Lobby. Even my teenagers were engrossed in LEGO building when it was time to leave!

Free Entertainment

Check your schedule as soon as you arrive, because although the LEGOLAND theme park, water park and SeaLife Aquarium are the main attractions at LEGOLAND Malaysia, there’s also free entertainment happening in the LEGOLAND Hotel too, as part of your stay! Keep an eye out for LEGO characters wandering around for you to pose with for photographs too!

A gift shop is inside the hotel

Leaving in the morning but you were too busy to find time for the huge LEGO shop in the LEGOLAND theme park? Never fear, there’s a gift shop off the hotel lobby with after-hours time slots too! Keep your eyes open for the exclusive LEGOLAND Malaysia LEGO sets for a truly unique souvenir!

The LEGOLAND elevators

Get ready for a magical ride up to your room, because the LEGOLAND lifts are boppy, musical fun with lights and sounds galore. We had a disco rule that you had to dance every time you got into the lift – it was hilarious good fun, and what other hotel can you do that in and not look just a little crazy?!

Our LEGOLAND Premium Adventure themed room

I don’t care how old you are – lying under a LEGO quilt cover gazing out at LEGO themed walls, carpet and LEGO figures and models on the walls is darn fun! That’s what you’ll get with a Premium LEGO room.

Pay the little bit extra for premium or deluxe if you can, as you’ll get more luxurious decorations and more LEGO figurines in your room. Remember, your child will never be this young again, and they will love their stay even more with their very own LEGO decorations to sleep next to.

I have to admit, it gave me a bit of a thrill too – staying at a LEGOLAND Hotel is a magical experience for any LEGO-loving family, young or old!

LEGOLAND rooms are more like suites

LEGOLAND themed rooms have a main bedroom for parents with a TV, desk, chair and telephone, and a bunk room for up to three children with their own TV. It’s not an ordinary bunk bed of course – it’s covered in LEGO pictures, LEGO decorations and there’s even themed LEGO figures.

My girls are tall teenagers, and they fit the bunk beds just fine, too. A trundle pulls out for a third child if needed.

Our room had two big and two child sized robes to borrow and slippers to keep. There were abundant tea and coffee facilities supplied too.

What themed rooms are available at LEGOLAND Malaysia?

Themed rooms include Pirate themed, Adventure themed (our room – think Egypt and Indianna Jones), Ninjago themed and Kingdom themed (medieval times like knights, princes and princesses). Read more about all the different themes and deluxe add-ons at the LEGOLAND My (LEGOLAND Malaysia) official website here.

LEGOLAND hotel bathrooms are also themed

It’s not just limited to the bedrooms though – oh no. Even the ensuite is LEGO themed – how fun is that?! There’s nothing quite like taking a shower surrounded by LEGO  – it’s just so much fun! There’s a child sized bathroom sink as well as an adult sized one too.

Also included are toothbrushes and toothpaste, shampoos and conditioner and soap.

A mysterious locked LEGOLAND Hotel room safe!

Just like LEGOLAND California, LEGOLAND Malaysia also has a mysterious coded safe in their hotel rooms – guarded by a LEGO animal figure! How do you find the safe padlock code? And what’s inside?

It may or may not be a little surprise gift for each of your little LEGO fans when they solve the supplied clues! (Or you can just ring reception if you get stuck and they’ll give you the code!)

The LEGOLAND Hotel swimming pool shouldn’t be missed

Bring your swimsuits with you! It may seem like you are already pressed for time with so much fun on offer, but you really should allow some time for the LEGOLAND Malaysia LEGO themed hotel swimming pool. It’s the perfect place to cool off in the tropical Malaysian climate.

Up on the roof top with gorgeous views across the surrounding Malaysian high-rises-meets-jungle, this is a truly beautiful hotel pool experience.

There’s a smaller kiddie pool adjoining the big swimming pool too, with floatie jackets to wear and giant pieces of foam LEGO to play with (what else, of course!).

The LEGOLAND Malaysia family restaurant

Just like the hotel itself, eating in the huge family restaurant is an experience in itself.

Full of large LEGO statue installations, eating at the restaurant is worth it just to see them. Everywhere you wander in the restaurant there’s a comical set of huge LEGO figures stuck in hilarious poses – tripping over, dodging pancakes….it’s so fun!

Purchase the family dinner deal for an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner of everything you can imagine, including lots of Western kid’s meal favourites like chicken nuggets and chips.

If you have a fussy eater, there’s lots of fried kids food choices, as well as basics like bread and rice – even green rice! There’s plenty of cooked vegetables, fruit and of course lots of yummy desserts too!

Breakfast has all the standard western food choices (so Australian brekky favs) like cereal, toast, pancakes, eggs and lots more.

You’ll find a cafe outside of the main restaurant too for mum and dad to get their barista coffee or tea fix and a nice cake to go down with it – and of course there is a whole other LEGO play area right there too, so you may actually get to finish your coffee – lovely!

A stay at the LEGOLAND Malaysia hotel is an absolute must during your visit for the complete LEGOLAND experience – you and especially your kids will be so happy you did!

Plan your trip to LEGOLAND Malaysia Hotel!

Discounted LEGOLAND Malaysia rooms

How much does it cost to stay in a LEGOLAND Hotel?

Less than you think! The Malaysian LEGOLAND Hotel is good value for money, costing around the same as a three to four star Singapore hotel. So if you swap one of your Singapore nights for a side-trip to LEGOLAND, the hotel is about the same cost as you would have paid in Singapore – but you’ll have a lot more hotel fun!

Where I booked our discounted LEGOLAND Hotel room

I found the cheapest LEGOLAND Hotel room deal on the Agoda hotel comparison website instead of booking directly with LEGOLAND Malaysia, so it’s definitely worth checking first – it saved me almost $100 a night, and I booked it less than a week before we went! Our Premium Adventure Room cost me $333.93 AUD for one night in August 2022.

What days is LEGOLAND Malaysia closed on?

Keep in mind that LEGOLAND Malaysia closed on Wednesdays, and the LEGOLAND Water Park is closed on Tuesdays, so plan around those days depending on what you want to see and do.

How far is LEGOLAND Malaysia from Singapore?

LEGOLAND makes a great Singapore side trip. It only takes one hour to drive from Changi Airport to LEGOLAND Malaysia, and whilst there is a border crossing involved it’s not a difficulty. We trialed getting there from Singapore by private driver and also the daily LEGOLAND coach from the Singapore Flyer and videoed the whole experience. Read our How to get to LEGOLAND Malaysia from Singapore guide here.

Minnie & Friends – Breakfast in the Park at the Plaza Inn

If you want to experience all aspects of Disney magic whilst you are visiting Disneyland California, then you really must do at least one Disneyland breakfast.

There are several amazing California Disneyland breakfasts available, including the Donald Duck Breakfast at the Paradise Pier Hotel, Mickey’s Tales of Adventure and the Princess Breakfast at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, and Goofy’s Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel – however we think it would be hard to beat the Minnie & Friends – Breakfast in the Park – which happens right inside Disneyland at the Plaza Inn.

Location Location Location!

This Disney breakfast is the only one to actually take place inside Disneyland. Hosted in the historic Plaza Inn restaurant, an original landmark of Disneyland Park, this location simply can’t be beat. If that wasn’t enough Disney magic, this Disney breakfast experience is made all the more special by it’s views of the Disneyland Sleeping Beauty castle!

Before you go – don’t forget these essential items!

Essential items to take along with you to your Minnie and Friends Disneyland breakfast are your camera (of course!) and a Disney Autograph book, which you can purchase from most Disneyland gift shops. Your Disneyland Autograph Book will become one of your child’s most treasured Disney souvenirs. My girls page through their autograph books in wonder. If I had a dollar for every time Brooke or Samantha exclaimed, “I can’t believe we filled up our autograph books!”, I’d be a rich mum! Each Disney character has their own, very special autograph style – and it’s absolutely charming watching them sign your child’s book as they look on in awe.

What is the Minnie & Friends Breakfast like?

This wonderful Disney breakfast was truly magical. My girls and I absolutely loved every moment. Whilst it’s truly a thrill to come across Disney character circulating outside in the Disneyland theme park itself, it’s here at the Minnie & Friends breakfast that you will be given the opportunity to spend quality time with almost every Disney pal you can think of will come to you!

You have the opportunity to get photographs, hug, high five and generally hang out with all your Disney favourites – from the fabulous Minnie Mouse to Eeyore and even Chip and Dale, you’ll be starstruck with this very special Disneyland experience. With character after character dropping by our breakfast table to sign autographs, hug and pose for photographs, we all agreed this was one of our favourite times at Disneyland – and given how much we adored every aspect of Disneyland, that’s really saying something!

What is on the menu at a Disneyland Breakfast?

An expansive all-you-can-eat buffet breakfast is laid out for all to enjoy – with lots of special Disneyland themed foods too, of course! From all your standard hot breakfast or continental breakfast regulars such as bacon and eggs, to the essential Mickey Mouse waffles, you will be well set-up and ready to hit the Park afterwards!

You can even add a Mickey ears cake to your Disney breakfast reservation if you like!

Are Disneyland breakfasts just for kids or families?

No way! Whilst Disneyland breakfast are every child’s dream, and of course Disneyland breakfasts are very popular with families,  you will also see adults of all ages, be they singles, young to elderly couples and groups of adults without a child to be seen. People of all ages love Disneyland!

How do I book a Disneyland Character Breakfast?

You will need a valid ticket for entrance into Disneyland, and so access the Plaza Inn. Reservations for the Minnie & Friends Disney characters breakfast are highly recommended, however if there is availability you can attend without a prior booking (You will need to pay for the character breakfast experience if you are a walk-in).

Any Disney fan is going to absolutely adore this special Disneyland breakfast, and it really adds further wow-factory to your special Disney California family holiday. Don’t miss the Minnie & Friends Breakfast at the Plaza Inn at Disneyland!

We’ve just arrived back from our first ever trip to Bali and it really feels like we hit the Bali holiday resort jackpot straight away! We just spent 3 nights hosted at the 5-Star Grand Hyatt Bali, and we all had such a wonderful time!

The Grand Hyatt Bali is a gorgeous luxury vacation resort located on the East Coast of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula in Nusa Dua. The resort is nestled within exotic tropical gardens, fronting a beautiful white sandy beach – this truly is a Bali paradise!

Family resort accommodation in Bali

There is luxury accommodation to suit everyone at the Grand Hyatt Bali, with a range of rooms, villas and suites – 636 rooms, to be exact! Centrally located deluxe facilities abound, including swimming pools, bars and restaurants – plus kids’ clubs and a shopping arcade! In fact, this resort is so well serviced that you could spend your entire Bali family holiday here without even stepping foot outside of the resort!

Getting around the resort is easy

Even though the resort is spread out over several acres, most features are either centrally located or within easy walking distance along paved paths. In addition, there are resort shuttles which circulate regularly, both around the resort and even over to the nearby Bali Collection shopping mall. Plus, you’re always only steps away from that gorgeous beach!

Arriving at the Grand Hyatt Bali

With the Bali Airport just 15 minutes away, you can get right down to the business of relaxation and fun soon after you land! It felt like in no time at all we had been whisked away by the Grand Hyatt Bali shuttle driver, as we left the rush of the bustling Denpasar city streets behind us and entered the security gates of peaceful Nusa Dua.

From the moment we drove through the gates and down the tree-lined drive of the Grand Hyatt Bali resort our 5-star holiday experience began in earnest! Hotel attendants met us at the car, spiriting away our bags and gently ushering us down the elegant walkway. Two traditionally dressed Balinese girls gracefully greeted us along the way – already we felt the excitement and enchantment of an exotic, luxurious Bali holiday!

A seamless check in experience followed, where we were seated and welcomed with cool drinks, hand cloths and warm smiles.

What is a Grand Hyatt Bali suite like?

We were escorted to our room and were thrilled to find that the Grand Hyatt Bali had arranged a Grand Executive Suite King for us!

The Grand Executive Suite was luxury personified. A spacious 141 square meters of climate-controlled deluxe accommodation. Our one-bedroom suite consisted of a generously sized open-plan foyer, lounge and dining area. The decadent bedroom and ensuite opened off the lounge, plus an additional toilet was situated off the foyer. A large private balcony ran the length of the entire suite and was also accessible from the bedroom.

The balcony had an outdoor setting and featured beautiful views. It looked out over tropical gardens to the twinkling blue Indian Ocean. A lovely spot for a coffee in the morning.

The lounge featured comfortable lounges and a huge flat screen TV. It was a great place to kick back and relax after an exciting day of fun.

In addition to a dining setting the dining area had a desk, a well-stocked mini bar fridge, tea and coffee amenities, and a convenient coffee machine.

The bedroom featured a four poster style King-sized bed romantically draped – it felt like waking up in a movie with the sea breeze drifting in from the balcony. There was a dressing room/walk in robe with a safe, iron, robes and slippers.

The bedroom led into the huge bathroom with separate shower and step-up marble bath. The bath had – wait for it – its own TV with a remote control! So that you can relax in the bath and watch TV, of course!

Our suite was a one bedroom with an extra bed added to the lounge area, however if you needed more space for more children or family, interconnecting twin or standard rooms are available to add to bookings.

Choose an all-inclusive Bali Holiday

One of the great things about the Grand Hyatt Bali is you can make your vacation as inclusive as you want, with options to purchase the all inclusive meal and drink package!

We loved the all-inclusive package and enjoyed wonderful restaurants for breakfast lunch and dinner, and could enjoy relaxing by the pools knowing we could grab a drink and even a range of beers, wines and cocktails at the various bars. All included, and more.

Best of all, the Grand Hyatt Bali All-Inclusive Package is discounted right now!

What does the All-Inclusive Package special include?

• Breakfast, lunch and dinner
• Alcoholic beverages
• 2 hrs Grand Hyatt Bali Oceania Kids Club per day
• 5 photo shoots in the resort

Plus!

A Bali Foodie Paradise

There are mouth-watering restaurants in abundance at the Grand Hyatt Bali and enough delicious cuisine to satisfy any budding Bali Foodie!

In each restaurant the service was impeccable. We were always asked if we had any allergies first, guided through the menu choices and food was served promptly.

We dined at the four main Grand Hyatt Bali restaurants during our three-night stay…

Salsa Verde Restaurant

This pool-side Italian Restaurant was a real winner with its delicious pizza and pasta choices. This Grand Hyatt Bali restaurant has a great airy Mediterranean theme with al fresco dining available too.

The location and outdoor dining option made this particular restaurant a winner for lunch, because you could choose to eat outside so that you barely needed to leave the pool!

My girls’ particular favourite at the Salsa Verde was the Spaghetti Bolognese.

Nampu Japanese Restaurant

On our first night at the Grand Hyatt Bali we experienced our first ever teppanyaki meal at Nampu, the Grand Hyatt Bali’s Japanese restaurant.

Our teppanyaki dishes were not only absolutely delicious, but also highly entertaining! We couldn’t believe the incredible skills of the resident chefs – it was lots of fun! The Lobster was my stand-out favourite – it was just unforgettable!

Watercourt Restaurant

We were lucky enough to have breakfast, lunch and dinner at the beautiful Grand Hyatt Bali Watercourt open air restaurant.

On our second night we had been out all day visiting the Bali tourist sites, so we were very happy to have dinner at this gorgeous Indonesian and grill restaurant.

The beautiful pool and fountains setting is such a special dining experience, and the food is just incredible too. Particular dish standouts were the steaks and the Tuna Tartare – absolutely delectable!

Passar Senggol Theatre Restaurant

On our last night we loved dining at Passar Senggol, a Balinese Night Market experience with a spectacular open-air stage Balinese cultural theatre performance show.

We loved trying all the different new Indonesian foods at the “stalls” – there’s even a dessert area! This is a fantastic way to try lots of new Balinese food – and it’s all so delicious!

I’m sure that many parents were appreciative that the Passar Senggol restaurant also offered Western options – including chicken nuggets and other kid-friendly foods for those fussy eaters!

Whilst I loved all the new Balinese dishes here, I discovered that my new food-favourite is sweet Balinese pancakes!

Following one of the amazing shows diners were invited to come up onto the stage with the cast members for a fantastic photo opportunity – I think every table jumped at the opportunity! At the end of the night all the children were invited up onto the stage to learn some new cultural dancing!

The Garden Cafe Restaurant

We loved exploring all of the Grand Hyatt Bali restaurants for not only dinner but lunch and breakfast too. We finally ate at the beautiful Garden Cafe on the last morning of our Bali getaway.

The Garden Cafe had a special Balinese breakfast selection area and also offered a wide range of Western breakfast choices.

A satisfying breakfast looking out at the wonderful view was such a peaceful – and tasty – way to start the day!

Breakfast at the Grand Hyatt Bali

At all of the Grand Hyatt Bali restaurants for breakfast there were dedicated Balinese and/or Asian breakfast food areas as well as plenty of Western breakfast choices for both adults and kids.

In addition to sausages, beans and scrambled eggs, you could always find toast and spreads, including strawberry jam and Vegemite. Yoghur, fresh fruit, toast and pastries plus cereal were all readily available. Various milks were available too.

At each restaurant there were freshly made options such as chef-ordered pancakes and egg chefs. Every morning, at each restaurant I just couldn’t resist the yummy Eggs Benedict!

The Grand Hyatt Bali is an absolute beachfront resort, located along the beautiful Mengiat Beach at Nusa Dua, the longest beach in the region.

Regarded as a gentle wave beach, Mengiat Beach is perfect for swimming with the kids or just working on your tan! We had to try out the Hotel swing whilst we were there!

The Grand Hyatt Bali Water Sports hut offers lots of different activities for extra fun at the beach too! There is everything from Parasailing and kayaking to jet skiing and surfing lessons!

Swimming pools and a real water slide

Something my teens were very excited about at the Grand Hyatt Bali were the amazing swimming pools and water slides!

There are several swimmin
