Awana Genting Resort is located 4km before the peak of Genting Highlands at Gohtong Jaya, a short distance after the town roundabout. Among the Genting Group of Hotels in Genting Highlands, it is the only one that offers a resort setting thus making it a better choice for holiday makers who prefer a quieter and more relaxed getaway.
This resort is easy to locate as its signage is visible from the trunk road.
There are ample parking lots - indoor as well as open-air for patrons who drive their own vehicles.
The hallway leading to the reception counter is long and very spacious.
The reception service is just satisfactory.
Three types of accommodation are available here. The deluxe rooms in the tower block, the 1-roomed condos, and the suites. We opted for a deluxe room in the tower block.
We stayed on the 15th floor, Room 15554.
The room comes with a nice balcony, overlooking the golf course and countryside beyond.
A misty view from our room balcony.
The room is air-conditioned, carpeted and provides the necessary facilities of a 3-4 star hotel. There is a king bed and a queen bed. It can actually sleep four.
There is a flat screen TV and a mini-bar.
Complimentary mineral water and sachets of coffee & tea, coffee cups and an electric jug are provided.
Cleanliness in the washroom is satisfactory.
There is no separate shower cubicle - just a bathtub. Bathrobes & bedroom sandals are also not provided.
The toiletries provided are very basic.
This building houses the suites which is another type of accommodation available in the resort.
