OT but the Renaissance KL is the only hotel I've stayed at that doesn't have ANY shade around the pool for loungers (only shade is for a few tables at and around the restaurant. So if you're not into glaring sun having a great pool isn't that helpful. I also found the food in the lounge not so great YMMV and VERY crowded.
