They say it's one of the two best hotels in whole Malaysia, and I can easily believe that. The hotel is set in the middle of rain forest, and I think the architects made their best to build the hotel into the natural environment and not vise versa.

We were welcomed as day visitors without... More

The hotel has very good... More
