PENGKALAN BALAK BEACH

Throwback (last week) Pengkalan Balak Beach, Malacca Checked out of Hatten Hotel Malacca and headed to next destination. On the way, stopped at Pengkalan Balak Beach, a well known beach and it’s a tourist attraction in Malacca. The beach was amazing. The sand - golden! A truly fun place and definitely a place for relaxation and for my tired legs! ❤️😊 #pengkalanbalakbeach #malaccatrip #funbythebeach #weekendgetaway #workandtravel

A day trip to the surprising Malaysia Wildlife Park.

⛰[Travel Guide] 🚗Transportation guide: Search for "A'Famosa Safari" on Google Maps for the A'Famosa Safari Wildlife Park. 🕙Opening hours: 10:00-17:00 💰Ticket prices: On-site prices - Malaysians - Adults 55 MYR; Children 45 MYR; Seniors over 60 years old half price 27 MYR. Foreign tourists 110 MYR (discounts available for online purchases). 🌟Highlight features: The tour bus is a must-try. The little yellow car drives on bumpy small roads, and tigers and lions occasionally come to "inspect" the car, which is a bit exciting. You can also experience feeding tigers 🐯, hippos 🦛, but you need to buy tickets in advance before taking the car. Only cash is accepted, no credit cards, and it costs about 30 Malaysian Ringgit per animal (I can't remember exactly). Please note that the feeding activity is carried out halfway through the journey and is done separately after getting off the car. Although only those who pay extra can experience feeding, the companions can get off the car together to observe the feeding activity up close. Monkey Island is a must-visit. The little monkeys on the island are not afraid of people and will jump on you and even your head. If you give them water to drink, they won't be polite with you. (⚠️Except for water, it is not allowed to feed them with any other food you bring, so as not to accidentally harm them). They are very gentle, won't scratch you or snatch your things, and are very cute. There are also other small animals on the island, such as goats, sheep, ducks, etc., all of which are free-range. It's a great place for parent-child travel with zero distance contact. Animal performances are a must-see, especially cowboy and elephant performances. 📌Small tip: Try to visit the zoo in the morning, it's less sunny and less crowded. Next to the zoo, there is also a water park suitable for children to play. In addition, there is an outlet mall, but there are not many brands and no top brands. Don't expect too much. If you have extra time, you can take a look. Outside the zoo is a golf course with a nice environment. If interested, friends can consider staying overnight here.

Good choice to bring kids here. We can see the show presents, like this one is cowboy show. Also another place inside, so many animals and kids can learn with happily. Easy parking. Ticket price is based on season. #travelgoals

Park Royal Hotel Melaka

#hotelreview The Hotel is nice and clean. Adequate facilities with swimming pool, gym, free pool game, foosball and table tennis. Staffs are mostly friendly and helpful, especially Roy that proactively checking on guest needs. I mist say may not be the best hotel service I have ever experience but their services definitely of good quality. Hope that the hotel can look into speeding up the check in process and welcome drinks are too sweet. my rate : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Birthday treats!

I love everything about this hotel! The room is so spacious. I also got a slice of chocolate cake for my birthday that you can’t deny, it’s so yummy! Besides, the buffet dinner & breakfast were tasty too. I even ate oyster for the first time here & amazingly its so fresh! The downside only there is no oven to reheat croissant which is quite upset me a bit.

Getaway for Labour Day

Been a long week. Feeling relieve to be able to take some time and rest for a bit. Had the opportunity to stat at Park Royal. Great ambience, nestled in Afamosa Alor Gajah. Great hospitality great facilities - mostly because it is new. #Melaka

Parkroyal Malacca

We chose this hotel for our staycation as it is a new hotel. Am very satisfied with the room cleanliness, facilities, staff very helpful and friendly. Worth to stay here again though it is a bit far from the city centre. Breakfast was also great, variety, kids below 6 eat for free. The best part was they upgraded our room free due ti unavailability of room that we have booked.#trip2024 #awesomepic #deliciousfood

A Famosa Resort - Spg Ampat, MKZ

We had a 2 days 1 night at the resort. The Villa is spacious with private pool. My family enjoyed very much having BBQ on complementary. Highly recommended for family gathering. The staffs are courteous and helpful. A right choice for vacation with family as there are so many places of attraction within the resort. Personally i opined that the resort is an ideal place for holidays goers as within the resort there are so many places we can visit such as a shopping, an animal park with show, an excitement water park with challenging water pressure like tsunami and a night activity with red indian & animal parade show. We enjoyed our trip, having occupying most of our time with memorable fun. Tqvm or Syabas A'famosa, we will definetely come again during the long school holidays. #tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #awesomepic

Great Water Theme Park

#malaysia This water park is big and have many attraction points with beautiful scenery and breathtaking park.Also have variety of water slides and pools. There are lifeguards. The staffs are friendly and polite. You can rent the locker to store your belongings (small is RM30 + RM30 deposit). You can rent the tube there (RM25 + RM25 deposit) The food is expensive and no outside food is allowed. But it is understandable. Recommend to purchase ticket with the meal together online. It will be slighly cheaper. Example, spaghetti price is RM22. But the price online is RM18. Overall, it is one of the best place for a day out in Melaka. Highly recommended.

Melaka Water Theme Park A Famosa

Water park surrounding is considered clean with some decorations, even water quality for one or two attractions can be questionable. It is still worth it to have fun here with your kids if we are not too compare with other popular and famous local water parks in Malaysia. So far is quite good for the price. Can come again next time. #travel #waterpark #melaka

A'Famosa Water Theme Park 👣✨

The rides were enjoyable, especially the giant ice-cream. Locker facility is convenient. Toilet and changing room is sufficient. The park is clean and well maintained. some ride require a tube while others do not. The themepark in well mantained. Not to extreme, suitable for family gathering. Kids slide, family slide very enjoy. Price for ticket, facilities like tube, locker, or even for food are reasonable. 😎 Most of the rides are really fun, it was an exciting yet thrilling moments when i was there, the food was great, even though the ticket is cheap, you'll need to bring some cash as the buy and locker need to be paid inside the park. 👀 Good experience overall. 👍🏻✨ #celebratewithtrip #awesomepic #mytripvlog #spooktaculartrip #summervacation #best_trip_by_trip
