I came across this place, maybe few weeks prior to my solemnization day. Having to absorb "You're not entitle for marriage leave so sayonara honeymoon" was a bit of frustrating. Did a lil' reviews on net, mostly people's blog posts made me sooo eager to check this place out.
Did a lil bit of discussion with Big Boss and argued a lil bit, typical me :p but we didn't actually agreed on booking since there's no available weekends for us after the solemnization.
Waiting and still giving hopes to myself that we're gonna go there, coz I knew that the MAIN honeymoon was a longgg way to go...
I guess I got lucky and Big Boss actually decided to have our first night as married couple there. Without having to travel far. Teeheeee!
Made the reservation a day before through their direct on-line reservation. You can also check on Agoda or booking.com but the room that we (Read : I) wanted wasn't available. There's different level of perks provided based on the room such as direct-pool access or space. So, choose wisely caused it could not be beneficial sometimes.
We checked in quite late and plus we got lost.Did my homework on the possibility of getting lost and few bloggers did mentioned it was hard to locate since there're no sign of the villa. Didn't get to capture the entrance of the villa but I still remember that it were covered with bamboo trees, plus the instinct of mine saying that's the villa..ahah!! It also have safety guard's section just outside the gate.
You'll have to provide your booking slip or at least your full name so that the guard can re-check before opening the gate for you.
We were given lemongrass drink and cold towels to refresh ourselves while waiting for our room.

And the view is just amazing! Even though it's just a pool but the atmosphere was just so peaceful and you can never believed that there's such place as this one in the middle of Kuala Lumpur!
Once the room is ready, we were ushered to our room, I picked "Luxe Crib" btw. The reception lady (can't recall her name tho') gave us a brief details on the villa's facilities and what not. I'd also noticed that all the staffs there were barefoot and I did asked the lady why. She said that it's easy for them to identify if the floor are not up to the standard and clean it before being told to do so..
She also did an amazing job in explaining the room and the room is indeed the biggest room for "Luxe Crib" category.I guess we do got lucky for that! It was on 2nd floor, no pool access tho'..

Bigger picture of the bathroom : Open wardrobe with free slippers :)), also free toiletries such as colgate,shaver and shaver foam.
Balcony overlooking the pool and the dining hall.
Our room were at the very end of the villa and hence it was covered with few trees that were super fine for us, especially during rainy days!Romantic sangattt! ;p

You have options for having your breakfast at the dining hall or on day-bed beside the pool.There's buffet of bread, fruits,cereal, coffee and tea. You'll be given choices on breakfast set of heavy dish like nasi lemak, noodle soup or sausage & omelette with choice of your juice drink. You can also pick to enjoy your breakfast in the dining hall or the day-bed by the pool. Wanted to have that too (the day-bed option) but we wanna enjoy the breakfast buffet without having to move far. ;p
Settled with breakfast, we relaxed by the pool for a while and regretting ourselves on not bringing our swimming attires. But then, this was our pre-honeymoon before incoming hectic weeks, swimming maybe out of our option for the day.
Headed back to our room to enjoy our balcony, short nap and packed to check-out. Big Boss did mentioned on extending our stay but since I have to vote (I got married a day before general election!) and thinking of unpacked boxes in our new house holding us back from enjoying this place more.
Overall, Villa Samadhi indeed a really good bargain on relaxing and enjoying your time without having to leave the city itself.
Till then,
