Ipoh Trip 2024

We hadn't gone to Ipoh for a while.  Made a trip there the last school holidays.

When the kids were small, I figured they'd enjoy holidays enough without us (actually me since hubby never minded spending!) forking out for expensive hotels.  Now they are big enough to appreciate luxury and we adults are less hardy, time to splurge a little.  

Booked Haven at over rm700 a night (shy to say this is our most expensive accommodation to date!).  Put a picture from the net first... the setting was beautiful.

So glad the rainy weather cleared up enough for us to go to the pool, which was the highlight of this hotel.

Hello from the heated jacuzzi!

From the infinity pool

Hubby normally chills by himself in the apartment.  This time we managed to persuade him to come into the pool.  

  

Hello from all of us! 

(still in the heated pool)

I loved the nature setting of this place.  There was a private trail of 15-20mins easy walk.

The booking listing wasn't the clearest.  It would have been worth the higher rental if our balcony had faced the magnificent limestone hills. 

The apartment itself was nice, spacious.  But as reviews mentioned, it was not super clean.  SE found a potato chip fragment lodged against the coffee table leg when we arrived and kept harping on it.  The next day after housekeeping... the chip was still there.  

My favourite thing... the Coway water dispenser!  Hot water, cold water at the press of a button!  No need to even boil water!  Hehe.

Mummy made me stand here

But we agreed the place wasn't worth a return visit.
