  Comments from Utopians:

  "Stayed on The Club floor at the Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa. First impression as I entered the hotel - massive and gilded. The Club floor takes you away from the 'bling' - the staff are super friendly and very accommodating. Asked for a room facing the theme park - what a view. Some good looking corporate guests walk in and out all day into the lounge; and friendly, too." -- Monroe, Apr 6, 2013
