Travel: Malaysia - Genting

[qi-er]

Just back fr Genting.Some of my feelings after this short getaway.


1)Everywhere so crowded totally cannot relax.Both theme park queue like mad.

2)Casino so so so smoky like in a chimney.

3)Hotel rooms(supposed to be the best hotel) so dirty & dusty.Dun feel safe even with security guard cos always idling.

4)Sale personnel not friendly at all and shows unhappy face and spoke in malay some grievances if not buying.

5)Restaurant very packed almost every meal.Chinese restaurant sambal kang kong taste so sweet and vege not washed properly cos can chew sand.Famous Pizza restaurant's soup taste like some chicken soup cube and its watery.

6)Arcade staff unfriendly and not very willing to serve.

With all these above reasons,I will not plan to have my short getaway there for at least the next 5 yrs.

Worst time to go Genting is during school-holidays !!
The queues (for food or games etc) will test your patience.

Having say that, we still go Genting/cameron (off-peak) at least once every two years.
-Good wheather
-good theme parks
-Multiple activities to keep kids entertained.
- we can live with lower \"service\" quality

goto genting, I heard rumours say that there are two haunted rooms where they committed suicide after losing money (Or was it they got murdered because of money dispute ? Not sure)


Not sure if it is true but can be quite eerie …

Hi,


We are going up to Genting this weekend. We plan to take our 3 and 7 years old kids to the Genting Snow City.

I heard that they do not provide winter jacket for kids for that ages. Is that true ? :? Also understand that it's really cold in there and normal sweater will not be enough to keep them warm.

Any mummy who had brought their kids to Genting Snow City, please give me some information / suggestions / advices as I do not own any kid winter jackets and I see no point buying just for this trip.

By the way, how's the weather over in Genting for those who had just returned from Genting ? :?

Thanks !

Quite cold abt 21 degree indoor(like aircon in shopping centre).For my older boys they just need a normal jacket for outdoor.Your kids r younger so better bring more to keep warm.But still it all depend on how 1 can take coldness.Didn't go Genting snow city cos not appealing to us at all.Shld have winter jackets for rental like our s'pore snow city.

I went to Genting from 14 to 16 Dec this year.


It was really crowded. We waited for more than 2 hours before we got checked into First World Hotel. I have never seen a more crowded hotel in my life.

The theme park was also extremely crowded. For the first 3 rides, it took us more than 3 hours to complete. The queues were crazy.

The food was horrible. I read that it’s mediocre and expensive, but in my opinion, it was close to inedible. Only the restaurant food was fine, especially 好友记.

The hotel room was okay though. We booked deluxe rooms, and though small, they were clean and looked like the normal hotel rooms, except that there was no cupboard (only something for you to hang your clothes on), and no bathtub.

The casino that I went to was fine I thought. Not smokey at all. It’s called Star world or something like that.

The temperature showed 15 degree celsius at 8pm on one of those days.

But becos of the ridiculous crowds, it will be a long long time before I want to go there again - if I ever go again, that is.

Yes, someone did mention behind me at a queue,"我对云顶很反感了。假期真的不可以来！"

I hope that next year once the two IRs in Singapore open, situation may improve since more options available. However, still the weather in Singapore cannot be compared to Genting/Cameron Highlands...sigh.
