hi guys.

 

my baby birthday in august. was thinking of bringing her and the family for a short getaway to celebrate.

 

maybe my parents/inlaws also joining us. biggest issue is that the birthday is over the national day long weekend. hopefully don't jam too much. lol

 

got any suggestions?

 

couple of ideas we are thinking of.

 

1) lotus desaru resort

- can eat seafood

- can go the fruit farms / farms etc to see animals

- can go beach

 

2) port dickson

thinking of eagle ranch resort

relaxing time.

abit far for a 2yr old on her first road trip

 

any other farm stay type resort nearer to sg? preferable within 1-2 hr drive.

 

any comments or other suggestions?

 

thanks in advance.

1-2hrs drive. Have to be desaru. Can try the waterfall in kota tinggi first before heading to desaru. Lotus desaru hotel is best for family with its water theme park.

D'Kranji Farm Resort. LOL...

 

No immigration jam, no traffic jams at the major malls....

 

Exotic but quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.

 

Drive around to visit various farms and eat at Ivy Singh's restoran.

Farm stay type resort... UK agro farm resort? Not cheap though

 

Agreed on UK farm, if you want farm type stay, with lots of animals to view n ride. Kids will love it.

in the 1st place, i wouldnt even recommend going on that long wkend. confirm chop guaranteed long jam. unless if u move off early morning or go on wed 6th aug. take 1 day leave for that. don forget, the govt has given 7th aug as holiday as well.

 

n also depends on ur kid. for me i drove to PD when my son was 1yr old. made 2 stops though.

That is what I am afraid of..... Jam thru out the night.

 

So just trying to see if any of the bros here have some experience to share on the best timing to leave the causeway with much jam. Thanks in advance.

Have you been there?

 

I wanted to book a weekend stay with family there but after reading the bad reviews, i decided not..

 

a summary of the reviews: no 3g reception, no wifi, loads of mosquitoes/flies, sandy, lousy room/cleaning service, noisy karaoke in the restaurant, awful food.. nothing much to do..

Been there to recce, but never stay 'cos "not worth" and stayed in much worse situations than this resort before. [laugh]

 

However, not necessary to stay there for a night if you have a car to move around those farms.

i guess if u go at 2-4am should b no jam. normally it will start at 6 onwards. but if short getaway, driving out at 4am is crazy. by the time u reach the destination only 7am at most.

Exactly, if managed to clear the MY customs, reach the breakfast stop I planned still very early leh. Haiz...

But I think further up like PD will be better. At least more resorts there to spread out the crowds.

 

Lotus has no free wifi in the room if you like to surf the net. RM$10 / day. Lobby, I am not sure.
