I think there are a couple of things that need to be emphasised here, if I may. First what is shown in this video is Awana Resorts World Genting (about RM300 per night). While this hotel is in Genting Highlands, it is definitely not by any yardstick the best hotel there. The best hotel in Genting Highlands is generally considered to be either Crockfords Resorts World Genting (about RM1,300 per night) or The Highlands Resort World Genting (about RM1,700 per night). All three hotels, and many others thereabouts, are owned and managed by Resorts World which is a company of the Malaysian based multinational Genting Group, the developer of Genting Highlands. Second this Awana Hotel is at about 3,000 feet above sea level which is at mid-level of Genting Highlands. Being not at the very top of Genting Highlands, it is not very popular, so usually quite empty as you yourself remarked in the video. All the attractions so the speak of Genting Highlands are at the top (about 6,000 feet above sea level). There one will find the Casino, the Outdoor and the Indoor Theme Parks, a number of hotels including First World Hotel the largest in the world as well as the Crockfords and the Highlands already mentioned, various malls, various restaurants and food courts, and many others.

Yeah but most locals choose not to stay in fwh first world hotel. mainly because of its many stories of hauntings. the reason why many hotels in genting are actually haunted is because of the massive amount of suicide cases there. main reasoning for the suicide cases is due to loses or bankruptcy due to gambling at the casinos. so many people hanged themselves because of having gambling debts. Genting is also very famous for its supernatural tourism as well. any may think these are just urban legends or old wives tales. when it comes to genting, Malaysians has dozens and dozens of stories to tell. most of them are from direct real experience or contact with the supernatural entities.

Hi guys. Location great, hotel lovely but coffee in a plastic cup!! Clean your chosen seating area! Not what is acceptable at a 5star. In fact we have rarely encounted that anywhere. I know some hotel guests can be rude and upset staff which can make them resentful but that is not the case here and Agree 💯 that cold blunt attitudes from staff in a hotel, shop or public can really mar the experience. It is as though they would rather you not there. A bit like a shop assistant who reacts put out because you would like to buy something! Interesting how peoples behaviour differ towards visitors in various places. We wonder how others felt staying there. Shame as it certainly looked lovely. As for the marrow, not for me but Cath likes it though she couldn't eat alot like Yad did or she would be ill! Always a joy to watch, see you next time 👋👌💕

And plastic cups and cutleries in hotels is my biggest pet hate!!! Oh well, not every experience can be the best, we’ve just gotta take the rough with the smooth ay.

Most of the workers there are either scared out of their socks working there having to deal with daily hauntings at night, or they have to deal with the daily 1 hour commute to and fro to kl city. one of the reasons why the workers there may not be as warm as in other places in msia. genting highlands is notoriously known to be like a ghost magnet area. theres a lot of supernatural tourism there as well. many of the ghost hunters, supernatural reality shows goes there to research and try to film hauntings there. many of the times the hauntings appear to be real mainly because of spirits of those who deceased roamed there. most of them were past victims from suicide cases due to gambling debts and loses. its not funny or a joke as a malaysian, we take this very seriously. we have the beliefs in this especially when u have listen to stories even from skeptics who had real experiences unexplainable in gentng. its really fun in the day. but be very cautious at night. there will be things at work here that u can see but cant feel.

Thank you Thomas. We chose this hotel as it was newly renovated and didn’t look outdated as the rest of them (you know the old nasty red carpets and run down walls)… We also wanted to be near the rainforest to fly our drone, then went up to the main bit in the morning for the day. Which hotel would you recommend? Most I’ve seen were super run down and outdated.

The hotel is actually beautiful, it just has bad service.

@@dacedaine822 If it has been renovated recently, then it should be ok , otherwise Resorts World Genting would be my ideal suggestion. Just stay put if you are happy with where you are and enjoy the rest of your trip. Happy travelling.

@@thomaskoay6721 Thank you so much, Thomas! Yes, Awana was spanking clean, modern and new. And to be honest, we’re not into casinos or crazy rides, and were mostly after nature which served us well. We did go up on cable cars and played a few games etc. so it was a nice weekend over all! Hope all is well with you ☺️

I’m sure they won’t be. They’d need to fire the whole establishment as the whole place made you feel like you owe them 🤣 All it needs is a bit of training on basic mannerism.

This Awana Hotel has been consistently treated as a last resort for those who can't get a room at the peak, and they're service are best described as mediocre and staff there are not properly trained. Manage your expectations and you'll be fine. Lol😅

All the other hotels looked seriously run down though. Awana was newly renovated and didn’t give me a skin rush 🤣 But you’re absolutely right, the staff have no idea what hospitality means and were so cold and rude, it made us check out fast haha!
