Can Resorts Hotel sleep 3 pax in a room ?

Just pick a room with 2 single beds.
Lift need room card to access your level.
2 card per stay per room.

once I stayed with my family of 4 in a room. But my kids was young then. (8+10yo)

Can sleep on the couch sofa chair in the room if you could.

Is closed for some time liao. No plans to reopen yet.

Easy way and convenient is take coach direct to Genting, about 7 hrs, with two stops. I use WTS Travel, cost more than other travel agents. Is reliable and eight pickup points here.

Planning to go Genting during Dec school holidays.

Thinking of going on Mon and return on Thu to avoid jam at custom. But 3 nights seems a bit short.

If I add one more night, is going on Sun vs returning on Fri better ? Going by coach.

Since you are coming back by coach bus, it does not matter the day you coming back in December.
You should be more concerned about the TIME you coming back.

As an experienced Genting regular, I would recommend you to take no-frills Ridewell/707 bus coach bus back.
As they had early departure as early as 10+ am. Reaching MY/SG customs immigration as early as 4-5pm.

The traffic conditions at the Malaysian and Singapore customs before 5pm is much much much much better than after 6pm, ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

Can you imagine Singaporeans all over Malaysia, coming back to Singapore at about the same time?

I am an old uncle, lots of time of time to waste, and already registered with Malaysian MDAC, clearing less than 5mins at Malaysian auto-gate, I had no concerned waiting in the aircon bus while the rest queueing at the manual counters for 20-40mins.

About 3-day stay at Genting too short? Well.. only gamblers with good luck will say that.
When I stay over 2 nights at Gentings, I generally will wake up very late on the 4th day onwards.
There is nothing to do at Genting, and 2 previous night gambling would probably stressed me out.
Likely to spending time with massages at Spa and drinks at bar lounges.. beo pretty babes..

Thanks for your reply. Good advice.

Where do you book coach tickets ? Pre-covid I usually book from Transtar website but this time due to pickup point at Yishun I was thinking of booking WTS. Will consider 707 now that you mention timing.

Question: Can I go Premium Outlet via Genting SkyWay? Or is there a shuttlebus to Premium Outlet?

Thank you!

Was there in Apr 23 during Raya period, same thing happened. Awana closed, Genting Skyway open. Only shuttle I saw was a green mini-van meant for ppl travelling to-fro Awana Genting and all the Genting Express coaches heading down to KL. They also had physical signages/website notice indicating no shuttle service to GPO from Genting Skyway. But why you die die wanna go to GPO anyway. Just take Grab down to KL and you have your pick of any of the megamalls in KL area. Bukit Bintang got Pavilion, Lot10 etc. Midvalley got Midvalley Megamall.. there is AEON malls all over the place. More choice and cheaper than GPO but ofc you don't earn GP lor

Bringing kids there. I prefer leisurely pace. Sleep until 自然醒. 1 day outdoor theme park. 1 day indoor theme park. Take cable car up and down for fun. Go Chin Swee Temple. Can watch movie there too.

I only spend a bit at casino. Was not planning to go but my tier points will expire by 31 Dec 2023. Will play a bit to get points expiry extended.

If die die want to go GPO then only way is pirate taxi lor but they cfm chop carrot head one. Can spot them touting their services once you step out into the coach waiting area. Can also try your luck with the various ride-hailing platform Grab Gojek etc. but might take longer to get a ride. Most ride-hailing services don't have much coverage uphill anymore because the drivers kena chase away by the Bantuan polis from their favourite waiting spots. No waiting spots = less chance to get customers = less money = less drivers.

Enjoy the scenery at Gohtong Jaya station though. Alot of macaques down there. Dunno how they survive the cold nowadays. They are quite cunning and will snatch any food from your hands quickly so don't eat in front of them. Dun kena bite or else have to take rabies injection.

Really meh all the time I go GPO the prices like same as KL leh. Esp now you go the Merdeka sales still ongoing. That time Raya I went also same thing. Maybe I went during festive times (Raya and Merdeka) and that's why KL sales no diff from GPO. Best buy to me is footwear la. One pair of Birkenstock men's sandals in some upscale Bukit Bintang shop only went for RM150. If I got luggage space to hoot 5 pair I would. Sadly only got enough space to buy 2 pair nia

If you got earn GP/TP this year then the free cable car voucher should be in your "My Rewards" section of the Genting app.

Free room (redeem from GP) so not so guilty of sleeping late. Elsewhere will hear people say "want to sleep can go back to SG then sleep".

Oh eat also can earn tier points to extend. That's good.
