Amazing Stay in Genting Highlands: A Thrilling Retreat!🌟

#gentingtrip **Attractions**: Genting Highlands, just outside Kuala Lumpur, is a high-altitude haven at 1,800 meters. My stay at Resorts World Genting was a blast, with access to the lively casino (Malaysia’s only legal one), Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park featuring epic rides like Alpha Fighter Drop, and Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park for all-weather fun. The Genting Skyway cable car ride was a highlight, offering jaw-dropping mountain views. I also loved exploring First World Plaza’s shops and dining, plus a quick visit to the serene Chin Swee Caves Temple. 🎰🎢🚡 **Location**: Nestled in Pahang, about 35-58 km from Kuala Lumpur, Genting is a cool escape from the city’s heat, reachable via a scenic drive or cable car. 🌍 **How to Reach**: From Kuala Lumpur, I took a bus from KL Sentral to Awana Station (RM 10, ~1 hour) and rode the Awana Skyway cable car (RM 10 one-way). Driving via the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway is another option, or Grab/taxis run RM 100-150. The cable car was the most fun way to arrive! 🚍🚡 **Stay Experience**: I stayed at First World Hotel, a budget-friendly yet vibrant spot with colorful rooms and easy access to attractions. The 24/7 energy of Resorts World Genting, from late-night casino buzz to early-morning theme park excitement, made the stay unforgettable. The cool 15-20°C weather was a bonus! 🏨😎 **Pros**: - Endless entertainment: theme parks, casino, shopping, and dining. - Cool, misty climate perfect for a city break. - Affordable stay options like First World Hotel. - Cable car and temple add scenic and cultural charm. 😊 **Cons**: - Weekend crowds can overwhelm rides and restaurants. - Theme park tickets (RM 170+) feel steep. - Limited vegan/vegetarian dining options. - Casino’s strict dress code was a hassle. 😕 **Ticket Prices & Hours**: - **Genting SkyWorlds**: RM 170 (adults), RM 150 (kids); 11 AM-6 PM. - **Skytropolis**: RM 60 (pay-per-ride); 2 PM-10 PM. #resorts #buffets #poolhotel #naturalwonders #travel #couplestrip #beachlife #staycation #naturalwonders #thingstodo #poolhotel #myitinerary #afternoonteatime #buffets
