maybe its a shortcut

 

[vaxvms]

lets go explore

Queue up to use the dozens of kiosks, plus Malaysia Tourism Tax of RM 10 per room per night stay.
Add few extra $$ for scenic view room, near lifts, higher floors, etc. Could be done with kiosk machine without counter intervention,

Even if I checked in alone , I always pick Y5 Triple at a low-peak price of 29GP, which almost confirmed a unblocked scenic view, not a window-to-windows in most rooms in Tower 1 or 2, which u could snoop into other folks room thru thru their non-fully closed windows.
Being unblocked windows, you get fresh cooling air for your room, First world Hotel rooms, dont have aircon since its high up in the mountains, but a hot summer daytime, room temp could be as high as 28 degrees.

Can I ask how do you know that y5 triple is almost confirm unblock view?

usually lower floors in most hotels have no view. once i got a grand hotel low floor with no view but plenty of generator noise. so my advice is even if hotels promise unblock view you should go early to check in to assure yourself like always - 1st come 1st served.

and if u r a regular try to remember the good rooms number n the bad ones. This way you will know u wish to take or not or at least grab the best ones.

FWH Y5 Triple rooms are facing outside as compared to Y5 Double rooms which face inside (window to window with other Y5 Double rooms).
FWH Y5 Triple rooms are outside view but may not be unblocked view.

As long as not lower floor it is ok.. the mall roof-top aircon condensers can be abit noisy in calm silent wind-less nights.

Actually if staying like 3 nights or more, worth paying topup 5rm. Because it is for each room checkin, not per night.

I used to pay for mountain view if have, near lift, high floors.

Non-smoking don't bother because still smell of cigarette.

By car from Hotel Ion Delemen to Sky Avenue is about 4.3km or 10mins using the road.

[Soitfriday]

Hi, just came back from Genting and would like to share my humble review

Skyworld theme park
• Skyworld theme park ONLY accept cashless payment.
• Best to buy tickets via the apps. It's very easy and smart way to use
• be there at 1045am even if the operating hour is 11am, cos can take photo and chiong for the rides.
• with the apps, you can do the VQ. Can also take note of which rides is down. During my visit, there were a lot of rides, down and resume, down and resume again. So be prepared to be annoyed that you queue 30mins for it, and you cant take the ride. It's a norm here. But occasionally, they may offer you 50% off for your next visit due to too often technical issue or rain. (Valid for 12mths). I was given the voucher cos a lot of the rides were down. Just need to take from the staff before leaving. And i didnt realise until i saw the notification from the skyworld apps

Casino
• tables are limited. They dont open 24hrs. Tables like 3 cards poker, 3 gong and texas poker etc, may close really early like 1am. Baccarat and slot machines are always available. This happened even on a friday night. I highly suspect cos they lacking of manpower.
• tables rate for 3 card poker is at minimum RM50. Texas abt RM100. So they didnt mark up the price. (As per wed, thurs and fri rate)
• old casino is operating. But really dont bother. It's no longer as glamorous as it used to be. Half of the casino is closed. Limited tables. All slot and smoke.
• can try going in the morning or afternoon to get a seat. Cos they close early
• have to change genting card. Change at #2 above casino, beside uniqlo.


Genting premium outlet
• Take Awana sky cable car to go down. Abt RM18 to and fro, RM35 for glass floor one.
• things in the mall is okay. But a bit boring for me. I prefer Johor Premium Mall instead. Cos the price seems to be slightly higher than Johor one.
• not much selection of food.
• can download the apps to check it out

Skyworld hotel
• This hotel is new and nice. Just directly beside the Skyworld theme park. If you are late and light sleeper, please remember to ask for rooms not facing the theme park. Cos by 1030am, they will blast the music to welcome guests and the other facing has city/garden view
• wall very thin. Can hear my next door family's kids crying. And also people chatting outside the corridor. But i guess it's normal for Genting room
• got wifi
• sheltered walkway

hope it helps you guys.
