: : Greater Kuala
Lumpur : :
For our purposes this area encompasses those areas outside the immediate
Kuala Lumpur city centre. Briefly these areas are:
Petaling Jaya. Known locally as PJ, is just 11 km southwest from
downtown KL. Originally a mining area, PJ has been transformed into
a modern town of universities, hospitals and businesses. This is
Kuala Lumpur's fully integrated development with the Sunway Lagoon
at the heart of it all.
Shah Alam. Continuing past Petaling Jaya about an hour from downtown
KL is Shah Alam. When the city of Kuala Lumpur was elevated to the
status of Federal Territory Shah Alam became the capital of Selangor
state. Hotels serve business travelers to this primarily industrial
area.
Cyber Jaya. Malaysia's silicon valley, Cyber Jaya is a planned to
foster development of Malaysia's Information Technology industry.
Putra Jaya. Putra Jaya is where most government offices are now
located. As such unless you are on official business with a government
office chances are you won't be going to Putra Jaya. Note: If you
plan to visit either Cyber Jaya or Putra Jaya it is best to hire
a taxi for the day. It's relatively easy to get to either one but
taxis are few and far between once you are there. FYI, in order
to remain objective, hotels are listed alphabetically (in this case,
first by area then by name). We don't favor any hotel for any reason.

MINES Beach Resort & Spa 5 stars / 178 rooms |

Rates to be advised
A part of the mega development, MINES Resort City, MINES Beach Resort and Spa is quite different from its sister property, The Palace of Golden Horses. More simple while exuding a warm ambiance set amidst lush greenery, the hotel is set next to the clear crystal waters of a man made swimming lagoon. As such the MINES Resort & Spa is a great place for water sports enthusiasts with numerous activities i.e. jet skiing, kayaking, water skiing, boating etc. For families or guests looking to get away from KL to enjoy a fun time together, the MINES Beach Resort and Spa is a fine choice.
