First time travelling to Genting after 10 years. Please advice me on the following qns:
1) Where to book hotel/transport ?
I went to cntown agency and ask 1 by 1 for hotel&tpt. Will I kanna Robert Carrot? The result I got back is very surprising. For 3d2n, price range from SGD110 - SGD280. Why like tt ? I am going at a non-peak period.
2) I got the old old blue/white genting card which is expired 4 years ago. Planning to do a new 1 this time. If want get benefits what do you advice is the best card to get? Or rather I can't choose because am a low spender?
3) I shortlisted a SGD200 for 3d2n Resort hotel (I think better than FW)with bus to and fro golden mile. Worth it ? Top up SGD20 for bus to stop at hotel itself, is the walk v far if no stop at hotel?
4) Too good to be true?.... Another quoted me SGD110 for FW with bus. How come so big different?
5) I saw someone say zhi char stall, do I need to pay for the van downhill? How much so I wont get carrot?
6) Is there a strawberry farm? Worth to go? Price?
7) I can't check Resort hotel rates online. But I see FW is about 50-65 per night. So I assume resort for 3d2n at resort is good enough?
8) Which agency do u guys usually go when book for genting package? Good coach and value price! wont chop carrot
Hi Exclusive, I will try to answer your qns.
1. I only book from 2 agencies for buses, 707 if I want cheap; Transtar if I want comfort. Both can be found at golden mile area. I only book transport, so I don't know market rate for hotel.Think the different chgs could be due to hotel, FW vs resort; some coaches also come with entertainment system. But 3d2n at FW can get for less than $100 during off peak.
2.Genting card only got 1 kind. Normal card, silver card, gold card, platinum card need to be offered by genting based on your gambling freq.
3.They will alight you at old town coffee, near to resort. I think it's worth it, otherwise you need to alight at mid mountain to take a feeder bus to FW and walk very far to resort.
4.FW vs resort very big difference. I don't stay in FW.
5. Van to mushroom garden FOC. Get ctc from hotel lobby.
7. Resort is good, rm is big and cleaner.
8. 707, heard WTS not bad too.
