A Night at KSL

What's a good weekend getaway? We wanted to find that out by booking a night's stay at KSL Resort in Johor, Malaysia. We booked a Superior King room with 2 breakfast online. Final price is RM340, which is about SGD130+. Quite a good deal I guess, for a 5-star hotel in JB. Getting there from the customs is fairly easy. Take a bus from JB Sentral, which wouldn't cost you more than RM2. The bus will stop right at the drop-off point of KSL, so there's no worries about rain or shine.

We checked in rather late, due to some delays in the checking in process, and also they needed an hour to prepare our room. Therefore we went to walk around before checking with the reception again at 5pm. The room was quite spacious, but the bedsheet a bit old and even has a hole lol. Overall still not much to complain about. The view ain't great either, cos not much you can see except rows and rows of apartments in JB.





We visited the rooftop pool after checking in. Not bad a pool as there were jacuzzi spots around the sides of the pool. You can even rent all kinds of floats, like banana boat, etc. But mainly for kids though. There's even a dinosaur water theme park, right next to the pool. But of cos you need to pay some entrance fee. Quite expensive though and doesn't seem like really interesting, no wonder nobody went in. After that, we went back to our rooms and dried ourselves before going to the mall itself for some shopping and dinner.
