Genting Skyworlds Hotel - Genting Highlands, Pahang

-
Genting Skyworlds Hotel is conveniently located near the Arena of Stars, making it an ideal choice for guests attending concerts and events. Our room is less than a 10-minute walk from the concert hall, allowing us to fully enjoy the live performances without worrying about transportation or long journeys. Additionally, the hotel is connected to SkyAvenue Mall via sheltered walkways, so you can reach shops, restaurants, and attractions without leaving the building.

The hotel does not offer free parking, so we parked at The Resort Hotel car park, the nearest alternative for RM 11. From there, we walked towards SkyWorlds Theme Park until we reached SkyAvenue Mall, where we took the escalator down to level 1. Certain areas still required using stairs, which could be challenging for those with large luggage. The directions along the way were unclear, so we had to figure out the route ourselves.

We arrived at Genting Skyworlds Hotel around 2.20pm and attempted to use the self check-in kiosk, but it couldn't read our IC. So, we headed to the reception desk instead. The queue was short, and the check-in process was quick. They allowed us to check in early and charged an additional RM 5 for the extra half-hour. Our room was located on the 3rd floor of the Valley Wing, which involved a long walk from the reception, and it happened to be the last room at the end of the hallway. On the bright side, the quiet surroundings at the far end made the stay more peaceful.

We stayed one night in a Quads room, which featured two comfortable queen-size beds, each with three pillows and a mini bolster. The room was spacious, included a private balcony, and had a modern design. It also came with complimentary Wi-Fi, four bottles of mineral water in the fridge, coffee or tea-making facilities, a wall-mounted hair dryer, and basic toiletries. However, there's no air conditioning, only a ceiling fan, and the TV only received local channels. The in-room safe wasn't working, so we called maintenance, and they promptly replaced it with a new one. They also checked the TV channels, but even after rescanning, the satellite channels (Astro) still didn't work. Apart from that, the room didn't have a proper working desk and chair. Instead, it had metal stools that were uncomfortable to sit on for long periods. Since we were only staying for one night, I decided to overlook these minor issues.

The room wasn't very cold at night, and it was rather bright in the morning because the blinds did not completely block out sunlight. The bathroom had no door, only a curtain, but the toilet and shower were in separate cubicles with locks. The shower was very hot with good water pressure.

The hotel offers only basic facilities, and there's no swimming pool or gym. Overall, the location is ideal for families and guests planning to explore the theme park, dine at SkyAvenue, or enjoy a show nearby.

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...

Guangzhou - Day 2 (Canton Fair Complex - Beijing Road)

I woke up early in the morning with a swollen leg, but luckily it is still not that painful when I walk. I couldn't go back to sleep since there's a mosquito that keeps buzzing in my ear. It seems that the pesky insect didn't bother my partner as much as it did me. Anyway, we left our hotel around 10am to look for food. Whenever we travel, I will prepare a list of food itineraries. However, I do not have a complete list this time since I am unable to read Chinese characters. There is very limited information available online in English. There are a few famous restaurants on my list, but I'm not sure if the addresses are correct. So, we asked the hotel front desk about the nearest Guangzhou Restaurant. She is quite helpful in assisting us with the web searches. Basically, the nearest Guangzhou Restaurant is just one station away from our hotel. So we took the metro from Guangzhou East Railway Station to Tianhe Sports Center (¥ 2 per person) exit A to Tiyu Donglu. Since G...

The Palm Suite @ Tanjung Tokong - Penang

-
Image
The Palm Suite is located in Tanjung Tokong Penang, just within walking distance of McDonald's and Starbucks. There are ten of us, and his sister-in-law rented five suites. The room looks modern, and the bathroom comes with a hot tub. However, the hot tub is covered with grime. It is kind of gross because the tub is greasy too. There is a small stool for you to step up before going into the tub. I find it quite dangerous, as the stool can easily flip over, and there is no handle to hold while climbing into the hot tub.  The water pressure is good, and the water is hot enough. The bathroom features a sliding door with no lock. However, opening the bathroom sliding door will close the open wardrobe. If you do not close the in-room safe box door or your luggage protrudes from the closet, the sliding door will not open. My partner forgot to close the in-room safe box door, which left me stranded in the bathroom twice. Luckily he's in the room, or else I'll be spending several h...
