Thank you to the kind and helpful guide who taught me a lot about Malaysia...! It was a fun trip. The batik experience was brief, but it was amazing and beautiful. We were given ample time to enjoy the Bat Cave leisurely~ If you are planning to visit the Bat Cave, I recommend it!

Such a pleasant stay i must say. Recommended to those who wants to have short staycation with lil family. Oh if bigger family can choose another option for the bigger room. My husband and I really satisfied with their pools and other facilities. Only a bit confuse to access facilities on other building. Other than that, there is nothing to complain. The staff also helpful and the view from our room is so beautiful. Surely we will repeat🥰
