Forest City Golf Hotel
4.2/5221 Reviews
Hotel is perfect for a golf getaway from Singapore! The two golf courses Classic and Legacy both in extremely good shape and very well kept. The resort itself is a comfortable and clean place for rest after a long day on the course, also good views overlooking both courses. 👍🏻⛳️☝🏻
Gelang Patah Forest City-Ataraxia Park 3
3.8/53 Reviews
We chose apartments with a pool or beach. I had to urgently look for and book these apartments, as the previous ones were canceled 3 days before arrival. The location is as secluded as possible, as it is located on an artificial island directly opposite Singapore. We met very few people even though we were there on the weekend. The apartments have everything you need: kitchen, dishes, good mattresses, bed linen and towels. Check-in is contactless (they left the keys in the mailbox, sending us the code for the locker), they sent detailed instructions with WiFi passwords, door code, etc. The only problem was with the door to the bathroom - apparently it had dried out and did not close well, but I think this is a solvable issue.
Forest City Marina Hotel
4.2/577 Reviews
Forest City Marina Hotel is a resort hotel by the sea with a view of Singapore. The receiptionist are very polite and helpful. We checked in at the hotel on 17 October 2020 and the whole check in process was fast and took us less than 10 minutes from queuing to getting the room keys. The room is very spacious and big. It is equipped with wifi connectivity, big screen tv, a variety of tv channels, a chiller, bathrobes and complimentary mineral water. The bathroom/toilet comes with a bathtub and separate shower and the size is big and spacious. The room also have a balcony facing the seaview and Singapore. The downside of the hotel: 1. It’s located very far from JB city and after 8pm, the Forest City seems to be a dead city. 2. Some of the facilities are not open to the public(eg. Only one swimming pool is open out of the many swimming pools, facilities around the resort are limited to the Marina Hotel and many shops are closed) 3. Some of the equipment/in room facilities require repair eg. Shower head 4. Aircond is not switched on in many areas(maybe due to low occupancy) The positive part of the hotel: 1. Very friendly and polite staff in the hotel from receiption, restaurant, security guards to the housekeeping team. Good job everyone. 2. The room is neat and tidy. Sufficient towels and amenities are provided. 3. Operator/receiption answer the phone call within three rings 4. They have promotion set meal at rm20 each which is affordable.

Sunway Hotel Big Box
4.4/5585 Reviews
Gelang Patah
Hotel is located in Sunway Big Box, about 30 - 40 min drive from town, a big retail space but limited choices of retailers and F&B choices. There is NSK for grocery shopping, huge BookXcees (my girl's favourite), Padini, Mr DIY to name a few. We arrive in the evening and hotel was fully book for the night, so can't fulfil my request for high floor room. But the staff was kind to provide a room away from the swimming pool as there is live band on the weekends. Booked a room with king sized bed and sofa bed and was given a room with 2 single beds and a sofa bed in the end (but the single beds can be place together easily). There is a set up charge of RM80 to set up the sofa bed, otherwise can just request for pillow/blankets/bedsheet and set it up yourself for free. Free parking. Hotel breakfast has a good variety esp for those who love nasi lemak/spicy food. For older kids/adults, can visit the nearby X-Park at Sunway Iskandar for outdoor activities like Go-kart/ATV ride etc.

Management and Hosts are really friendly! Even helped with last minute requests and queries. The accommodation is a street away from Caltex which have a link bridge to the mall. After the KFC closes, just a perimeter walk around the mall outer to reach the mall. Sunway location in itself (not the accommodation problem at all) has nothing in the night that Singaporean fancy - like massage or KTV. But the slide in the room was enough to accommodate my child. Kudos to the host for thinking do such! Water filter, cinematic shows do helps a lot for family bonding! The games room can even cure your itch off KTV; only an hour booking though.

Introduction to Johor

Johor, Malaysia's southernmost state, known for its vibrant cities, pristine nature, and unique cultural heritage. Just a causeway away from Singapore, Johor offers a rich tapestry of experiences, from exciting theme parks and historic sites to delectable local cuisine. As one of the fastest-growing states in Malaysia, Johor is a reflection of modern progression whilst preserving its cultural roots.

Tips about Travelling to Johor

Senai International Airport serves as the main gateway to Johor, with direct flights from various parts of Asia. For travellers from Singapore, the Causeway Link bus service offers a convenient way to cross the border.

Malaysia's official currency, the Ringgit, is used in Johor, with credit cards accepted in most establishments. Bahasa Malaysia is the official language, but English is widely spoken, particularly in urban and tourist areas.

Always check with the nearest Malaysian embassy or consulate for visa requirements. Many countries are granted visa-free entry for tourism purposes.

Johor is a predominantly Muslim state; thus, modest attire is recommended, particularly when visiting religious or cultural sites.

Weather and Best Time to Visit

Johor experiences a tropical rainforest climate, with temperatures ranging from 23°C to 32°C all year round. The monsoon season from November to February brings more rain, making the driest period from June to August the most favourable time to visit. Lightweight clothing, a raincoat or umbrella, and comfortable shoes are recommended for your visit.
