Travel: Malaysia - Genting

[cherrygal]

I think for a family of 4, book the family room at Theme Park Hotel. I stayed there 2 weeks ago and it was really spacious with 2 queen beds. They run out of these rooms very quickly.


But my kids fight a lot so I was thinking it may be a better idea to get 2 deluxe / standard rooms side-by-side next time.

Hi Cherrygal,


Yeah, i’m also thinking of getting Theme Park Hotel Family Room, since confirmed is 2 queen bed. But I heard it’s slightly less convenient than First World from the Bus Station and the Indoor Theme Park? Or it’s actually ok?

I thought of side-by-side rooms, but they say it’s not guaranteed.

Hi,


Do you all usually just get the day pass or the annual pass?

I’ll be there for 4D3N, so thinking maybe should get the annual pass, in case kids want to go to the theme park everyday for some time, and we’re not restricted and can go in as and when we want. But I reckon 2 days is actually sufficient. Do you think it’s necessary to buffer extra days for in case the kids still want to play some more? I’m just afraid we might cover everything in 2 days, and so it’ll be wasted, especially since I may not be going again within the 1yr membership period.

Other than the theme park, I’ll only be going to the Strawberry Farm and Mushroom Farm, which I reckon won’t take too long? So rest of day will bump ard at theme park again? Or is there much shopping to do?

Have any of you tried the Water Park? How is it? Fun?

hi cherrygal,


btw, what room view did you have? Is the city/garden view the preferred option?

[cherrygal]

We got a lower floor so we got a garden view. It was peak so we didn’t have a choice.


Both my kids didn’t like the rainforest splash park as the water was too hot for their liking. My boy commented it was like soaking in a hot spring.

We didn’t get the annual pass as we usually only stay for 2 nights max. 1 full day is sufficient for the outdoor theme park. Night time is usually reserved for indoor theme park and arcade.

We found it quite OK to stay at Theme Park hotel as we could return to the hotel easily for afternoon naps and lunch when we visited the outdoor theme park. It is not that far to First World plaza if you take the sheltered internal route.

Read somewhere about the strawberry farm. The blog mentioned that can take the cable car down to the bus terminal and the strawberry farm has a buggy pick-up there. If not, just take a cab down from the hotel.
