Genting Highlands' HIDDEN Gem: SkyMujiColdInn2R2B @ Ion Delemen - Unbelievable!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (and maybe some lukewarm coffee, because, let's be real, hotel coffee is a gamble) on Genting Highlands' HIDDEN Gem: SkyMujiColdInn2R2B @ Ion Delemen - Unbelievable!. Prepare for a rollercoaster of opinions, because this place… well, it's an experience. And I'm here to lay it all bare, the good, the slightly wonky, and the "wait, what?" moments.
First Impressions: The "Unbelievable" Part
Seriously, the view. That's what hits you first. The "unbelievable" part isn't just marketing fluff. We're talking sweeping vistas of the misty mountains. Forget your Instagram filters; the actual view from this place is the filter. I mean, wow. Coming from the city, the air is crisp, the silence is… well, it's almost eerie at first, in the best way possible. You feel like you've teleported to a different world. This alone is worth the price of admission.
Accessibility: Getting There (and Surviving the Journey)
Okay, let's be honest: Genting Highlands isn't exactly a stroll in the park to get to. Accessibility is a mixed bag. Getting to the Ion Delemen is pretty straightforward from the main Genting area, but navigating the Highlands itself can be tricky. This place does have an elevator, and while I didn't specifically test the wheelchair accessibility, the common areas seemed relatively navigable, though I'd recommend double-checking with the hotel directly if you have specific needs.
Once Inside: The Muji Vibe (and the Cold Inn Part)
The "Muji" part? It's definitely there. Clean lines, minimalist design, a calming, almost zen-like atmosphere. The rooms are tastefully done, with a focus on functionality. They're not huge, but they’re cozy and well-equipped. The "ColdInn" part… well, it is Genting Highlands. Expect it to be chilly. Pack layers!
Rooms: The Essentials and the Extras (and the Occasional Quirks)
Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of the Available in all rooms features.
- The Good Stuff: Air conditioning (essential, even in the cold!), Alarm clock (because you will want to wake up to that view), Bathrobes (luxury!), Blackout curtains (thank goodness!), Coffee/tea maker (a lifesaver!), Free bottled water (always appreciated), Hair dryer (praise be!), In-room safe box (peace of mind), Internet access – wireless (Wi-Fi [free] in all rooms!) (essential for sharing those views!), Ironing facilities (for those who actually iron on vacation – not me!), Mini bar (stocked with… well, you'll have to find out!), Refrigerator (handy!), Satellite/cable channels (for those moments when you need to zone out), Shower (good pressure!), Slippers (nice touch!), Wake-up service (thank you, technology!).
- The Quirks: Okay, so the bathroom phone is a bit… retro. Interconnecting room(s) available could be a lifesaver for families, but potentially a noise issue if you get the wrong neighbors. The Mirror is well-placed, and the Reading light is a nice touch.
- The Missing Pieces: I didn't see a Laptop workspace that was particularly ergonomic, but the Desk could be repurposed. Additional toilet? No. Extra long bed? Nope. Scale? Not that I saw.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure (or Surviving the Cold)
Okay, so this is where things get interesting. Restaurants on-site? Yes, but options are a little limited, depending on the time of year. There is no Breakfast [buffet] which is fine, but you'll probably want to grab Breakfast in room. I didn't see a Poolside bar, which is a shame. There is a Coffee shop and a Snack bar, and a Bar for those evening drinks. Room service [24-hour] is a definite plus. Asian cuisine in restaurant is available, but I didn't test it.
- My Food Adventure: Honestly, the food situation is the one area that needs a little… pep. There are restaurants, but the Coffee/tea in restaurant was a bit underwhelming. The desserts in restaurant was OK. Alternative meal arrangement is available. The Bottle of water is free, which is a small thing. Vegetarian restaurant is available, as well as Western cuisine in restaurant.
- Anecdote Time: One evening, I was starving. The room service menu was… limited. I ended up ordering what I thought was a safe bet. Let's just say it arrived, and it was… an experience. Not a bad experience, necessarily, just… memorable. Be prepared to venture out for a truly amazing meal.
Ways to Relax: Spa, Sauna, and the Pursuit of Bliss
Ah, ways to relax! This is where SkyMujiColdInn2R2B really shines. The Swimming pool [outdoor]? Stunning. The Pool with view? Even better. I spent a solid afternoon just staring out at the mountains. The Spa is also available, with Massage and Sauna. I didn't try the Body scrub or Body wrap, but I saw others looking blissed out. There's a Fitness center if you feel guilty about all the delicious food (I didn't). The Foot bath is a nice touch.
Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind (and Hand Sanitizer)
Cleanliness and safety are definitely a priority here. Hand sanitizer is everywhere (thank goodness!), and I saw Daily disinfection in common areas. Rooms sanitized between stays is a huge plus. The staff seemed well-trained in safety protocol. There's a Doctor/nurse on call, which is reassuring. CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property are present, adding to the feeling of security. Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms, and Security [24-hour] are all in place. Safe dining setup is also available.
Services and Conveniences: Making Life Easier
- The Good: Concierge service is helpful. Daily housekeeping keeps things tidy. Elevator access is a necessity. The Front desk [24-hour] is always available. Luggage storage is convenient. Cash withdrawal is on site, as is a Convenience store.
- The Not-So-Good: The Gift/souvenir shop is a bit limited. Ironing service is available, but who has time for that?
- The Quirks: I didn't use the Dry cleaning or Laundry service. The Invoice provided is standard.
For the Kids: Family Fun (or Not)
- *Family/child friendly? Yes, but it's not a dedicated kids' paradise. Babysitting service is available. There are Kids facilities, but I didn't see anything specifically geared towards children.
- Anecdote: I saw a family having a blast in the pool, so it's definitely doable.
Getting Around: Navigating the Highlands
- The Options: Car park [free of charge] is a huge plus. Taxi service is available, but be prepared for potentially high prices.
- The Recommendation: Definitely use the Car park [on-site].
Internet Access: Staying Connected (or Disconnecting and Recharging)
- The Good: Internet access – wireless (Wi-Fi [free] in all rooms!) is a lifesaver. Internet is generally reliable.
- The Quirks: The Internet access – LAN is available, but I didn't use it.
Overall Vibe: Is it Worth it?
Absolutely. Despite a few minor hiccups (and the slightly limited dining options), SkyMujiColdInn2R2B @ Ion Delemen offers a unique and unforgettable experience. The view alone is worth the price of admission. It's a place to disconnect, recharge, and soak in the beauty of Genting Highlands.

The "Oh God, Did I Pack Enough Socks?" Genting Highlands Itinerary (Aka, My Sanity's on the Line)
Day 1: Arrival and Altitude Adjustment (Translation: Mild Panic)
- 9:00 AM: Wake up in a sweaty, slightly confused state. Why am I always so hot? Pack the last-minute essentials. My travel buddy, bless her soul, is already pacing. "Are you SURE we have the passport?" she keeps asking. Pretty sure. Pretty sure I'm also pretty sure I forgot toothpaste. This is going to be a great trip.
- 9:30 AM: The grab a car, we are off to the bus station. Getting there wasn't exactly smooth. Traffic, of course. Then, the classic "forgotten something" moment. My travel buddy (let's call her Sarah) realized she left her phone charger. Cue the dramatic sigh and the frantic search for a convenience store.
- 11:00 AM: Bus departs. The views are already stunning, lush, green mountains. I try to enjoy it, but my stomach is doing that anxious flutter thing. This altitude… it's a real thing, right?
- 1:00 PM: Arrive at the peak. The air is chilling. Seriously, I should have packed more than one measly scarf. The bus drops us off, and we're immediately assaulted by a wall of cold air and the overwhelming scent of… something. Probably pine needles and desperation.
- 1:30 PM: Check-in at SkyMujiColdInn2R2B @ Ion Delemen. The lobby is… sparse. Let's call it "minimalist." The staff is friendly, though, and the room, thankfully, is warm. Well, warm-ish.
- 2:00 PM: Room exploration. Two rooms, two beds, two bathrooms. Okay, this is actually pretty decent. The view from the window is insane – all misty mountains and swirling clouds. Definitely worth the altitude sickness, probably.
- 3:00 PM: Lunch at the hotel restaurant. Food is… okay. Comfort food is the mission. The spicy noodles are actually quite good, and I'm starting to feel less like I might spontaneously combust.
- 4:00 PM: The "Is This Real Life?" walk around the area. The Ion Delemen complex is… interesting. A bit like a giant, slightly faded, but still impressive, concrete castle. The air is thick with fog, and I keep expecting a dragon to appear.
- 5:00 PM: We explore the outside. I am not sure what to expect, but I am definitely not ready for this.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at a local restaurant. The food is delicious! I try more local dishes.
- 7:00 PM: Back to the room. Cozy up on the bed, with my travel buddy. We watch TV, play some games, and laugh.
- 9:00 PM: Bedtime. The altitude is getting to me, and I am so sleepy.
Day 2: Gambling and Glitches (and Maybe a Little Regret)
- 9:00 AM: Wake up. The sun is shining, and the view is even more spectacular.
- 10:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel restaurant. The breakfast buffet is decent. I load up on carbs, because, altitude.
- 11:00 AM: Venture into the casino. Okay, so, I’m not a gambler. I play a bit, and then I lose a bit. It is fun though.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch. We get some local food in the mall.
- 2:00 PM: We explore the mall. The stores are amazing, and the shops are great.
- 4:00 PM: We go to the theme park. It is amazing.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at a restaurant. Food is great.
- 7:00 PM: Back to the room. We watch TV, play some games, and laugh.
- 9:00 PM: Bedtime.
Day 3: Farewell and Fuzzy Memories (Translation: The Great Escape)
- 9:00 AM: Pack the bags. This is always the worst part. Did I leave anything? Probably.
- 10:00 AM: Final breakfast. Savor the last of the coffee.
- 11:00 AM: Check out. We're leaving, and I'm kind of sad. But also, ready for a shower that doesn't involve shivering.
- 12:00 PM: The bus is ready, and we're off.
- 2:00 PM: Back to home.
Quirky Observations & Ramblings:
- The air conditioning in the mall is set to "Antarctic Blizzard." Seriously, pack a parka.
- I saw a guy wearing a T-shirt that said, "I survived Genting." Now, I get it.
- The fog is so thick sometimes, you can barely see the person in front of you. It's like living in a permanent black-and-white movie.
- I spent way too much money on a stuffed animal. Don't judge me. He's adorable.
- The karaoke sessions at the hotel were… something else. Let's just say, my ears are still recovering.
Emotional Reactions:
- Giddy Excitement: The views! The sheer scale of the place! The fact that I’m actually here!
- Mild Panic: The altitude. The potential for gambling addiction. The fact that I'm probably going to get lost.
- Overwhelming Gratitude: For Sarah, my travel companion. For the hot showers. For the memory of that incredible plate of noodles.
- Slight Regret: Not bringing more warm clothes. Not learning any basic Malay phrases. Maybe the stuffed animal.
- Ultimate Triumph: Surviving Genting Highlands. And bringing back a whole bunch of stories.
The Imperfections:
- I probably forgot to mention something important.
- I probably got the times wrong.
- My descriptions are likely highly subjective and influenced by caffeine levels.
- This itinerary is more of a suggestion than a strict plan. Embrace the chaos!
So, there you have it. My Genting Highlands experience. It was messy, hilarious, and, dare I say, unforgettable. Now go forth and make your own memories! And for the love of all that is holy, pack a sweater.

SkyMujiColdInn2R2B @ Ion Delemen: You've Been Warned (or Maybe You Haven't!) - My Honest FAQ
1. Okay, spill the tea. Is this place *really* a "hidden gem" or just a cleverly disguised tourist trap?
Alright, buckle up, buttercup. The "hidden gem" label? It's... complicated. Let's just say I went in expecting a sparkling diamond and found something more akin to a well-polished, slightly chipped, amethyst. Ion Delemen itself? Stunning location, honestly. The views? Unreal. But the SkyMujiColdInn2R2B experience? Well, that's where things get... interesting. It's a hidden gem in the sense that you have to *really* dig to find the good bits, and you might need to be a bit of a masochist to appreciate the rest. I’m getting ahead of myself. Keep reading, you'll understand.
2. What's the deal with the "Muji" part? Is it actually *Muji*?
Oh, the Muji. That's the *hook*, right? Minimalist, clean lines, that whole aesthetic. Here's the thing: it *attempts* to be Muji. Think of it like a really enthusiastic cosplay. The furniture is… functional. The color palette is definitely in the beige and neutral family. But the execution? Let's just say my own apartment, which *definitely* isn't Muji, felt more authentically Muji-ish at times. There was a distinct lack of the *je ne sais quoi* that makes Muji, well, Muji. I'm not saying it's *bad*, it's just… aspirational Muji. And I'm a cynical person, so my expectations were probably too high.
3. "ColdInn?" Seriously? What's that about?
Oh, the cold. Honey, it's Genting. It's *always* cold. Even in July, I swear I saw people wearing parkas. The "ColdInn" part is less about marketing and more about reality. Layers are your friend. The Inn itself? Well, it's inside Ion Delemen, so you're insulated from the worst of it. But don't expect to be strolling around in a t-shirt and shorts. Unless you *like* being cold. I, personally, am a wimp. I was shivering constantly, even under the provided blankets. I think I packed the wrong clothes, or maybe it really *was* colder than usual. Who knows?! Genting is a mystery, I tell you!
4. 2R2B? What does that *actually* mean in terms of space and comfort?
2R2B = Two Rooms, Two Bathrooms. The space? Decent. Not palatial, but enough for a small group or family. The bathrooms were… functional. Let's leave it at that. One of them had a slightly wonky shower head that sprayed water in all directions *except* where I wanted it. I spent a good five minutes just trying to get the water to hit my face. It was an adventure, I tell you. The rooms themselves? Comfortable enough. The beds were okay. Not the cloud-like experience you dream of, but definitely sleepable. I slept. That's the important thing. I needed to, because...
5. Let's talk about the view. Is it *really* as spectacular as the pictures?
Okay, the view. *That* is the redeeming factor. The pictures? They don't lie. If you get a room facing the right way (and pray to the weather gods), you're in for a treat. Mountains, clouds, the whole shebang. I spent a good chunk of my time just staring out the window. It was breathtaking. Honestly, the view alone almost made up for the wonky shower head and the slightly-less-than-Muji-ness of the decor. Almost. I'd go back for the view. Seriously. I'd probably just wear a hazmat suit in the shower, just in case.
6. What about Wi-Fi? Is it reliable? Because, you know, *work*.
Oh, the Wi-Fi. Let's just say it's… *optimistic*. It was there. Sometimes. It cut out a few times, which, you know, is less than ideal when you're trying to actually *work*. I ended up tethering to my phone most of the time. So, if you're planning on needing solid internet, bring a backup plan. Or embrace the digital detox! Which, honestly, might be the better option. Genting is probably the perfect place to disconnect. Although, I needed to Google "how to fix a wonky shower head" at one point, so... yeah.
7. Food options? Anything nearby?
You're in Ion Delemen, so you have some options. There are restaurants within the hotel, and more down the road. The food quality is...variable. I had a particularly bland plate of noodles one night that I still dream about (in a bad way). I suggest exploring the area, and maybe packing some snacks. Just in case. And maybe some emergency chocolate. Always pack emergency chocolate. Especially in Genting. You'll thank me later.
8. So, is the "Unbelievable!" part just hype? What made *your* experience "unbelievable?"
Okay, the "Unbelievable!" part. That's the big question, isn't it? For me, it was a mix of things. The view was unbelievable, truly. The wonky shower head was... unbelievable. The sheer *amount* of layers I needed to wear to stay warm? Unbelievable. But the *most* unbelievable part? The sheer juxtaposition of the stunning location and the slightly… *less* than perfect execution. It was an experience, alright. A messy, imperfect, occasionally frustrating experience. But also, a memorable one. Would I go back? Maybe. Armed with a hazmat suit, a mountain of chocolate, and incredibly low expectations. And a really, *really* good book. Because you never know what you're going to get in Genting! It's a gamble, I tell you. A gamble with a view.
