If you’re looking for the perfect blend of modern elegance, local charm, and incredible value, Marriott Putrajaya is a destination that truly delivers. I recently enjoyed a 5-night stay completely free using just 35,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, and the experience exceeded expectations on every level. From a Junior Suite upgrade to complimentary breakfast, smooth transfers, and world-class facilities, this stay perfectly showcased why Marriott remains one of my favorite hospitality brands.
⭐ Booking the Stay – The Deal of a Lifetime
I booked my stay at Marriott Putrajaya for only 36,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, thanks to Marriott’s generous Stay 5 Pay 4 redemption benefit. For a newly upgraded hotel with premium facilities, this was an absolute steal deal.
Even before my trip began, the experience was off to a great start. I reached out to the hotel via email requesting:
- A room upgrade
- Complimentary breakfast
- Shuttle assistance
Being a Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite member, my request was warmly accepted. The hotel upgraded me to a Junior Suite and confirmed complimentary breakfast for my entire stay — tremendous value from a free redemption!
🚐 Complimentary Shuttle – Hassle-Free Transfers
One of the highlights of Marriott Putrajaya is their complimentary shuttle service that runs throughout the day. I booked my airport transfer through email, and the process was seamless. Upon landing, my journey from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to the hotel was smooth and convenient, saving both money and time.
🛬 Check-In Experience – Smooth and Welcoming
The check-in was quick, warm, and efficient. My Junior Suite was ready upon arrival, and the front-desk staff extended a gracious welcome. When I entered the room, I found:

- An assortment of premium chocolates
It was a great start to my 5-night stay.
