After our Thaipusam experience under the scorching sun, we continued My Selangor Story adventure to Golden Palm Tree – Iconic Resort & Spa . A five star haven about 75 minutes from the city centre, Golden Palm Tree houses 392 luxurious water villas raised on stilts, with alang-alang roofings, large folding doors to a private deck. Golden Palm Tree is also known as Sepang Gold Coast. THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH MORIB GOLD COAST.

When our bus reached the entrance of Golden Palm Tree, the dancers of Golden Palm Tree welcomed us with ‘Rasa Sayang’ song and simple dance. We were served with welcome drinks before the briefing started. My group was guided by Ms. Nuura of Golden Palm Tree. She told us she would not let us to go into our room for once we were in the room, we won’t come out. Point taken and my face beamed with smile.

We did the room tour first! We had to take the buggy to the specific room. Our first one was Travelers Palm Villas. Then we went to the Ivory Palm Villas and Royal Palm Villa.

As for dining, Golden Palm Tree offers various selection of local and international food through its selection of restaurants :- Bila-bila Cafe, Perahu, Hai Sang Lou, Stimbot, Selat Bar and Buloh Bar

 Staying at Golden Palm Tree promises many activities such as go karting, archery and ATV Ride. This can be found at the extreme park in front of the main entrance to the hotel.

After we took a stroll at Smiley Beach, a private beach owned by Golden Palm Tree, we stopped by at Sepoi-sepoi Cafe. When the rest of my group members decided to go back into their respective rooms, the romantic-me spent some time at the swimming pool area which faced the open sea for a good sunset view. It was really a picturesque view.

We had dinner at Bila-bila Cafe where we were honoured to have YB Elizabeth Wong joining us for the night. Then, came the pleasant surprise by Golden Palm Tree performers. They invited all My Selangor Story participants to join them dancing. After the dance we retired for the night.
