Wonderful stay.

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Mar 2017via mobile
Even though it was abit on the high side on price,overall the stay was fantastic.From the moment we step into the compound,we were greeted by the guards,then the bellboy.After that,the reception who registered us,took us for a tour around the compound.The staff at the spa n the Jeff cellar dinner was great.Breakfast was made special as though as we were royalties by the staff who came and took our precise intruction on how we like our food.Surprisingly,the resort manager and Incharge drop by during our meal and enquire how was our stay.By doing so,they were able to make our stay more memorable..Great place to go if couple or relaxation as no kids below 12.

Dear Md Faizal Barak,

Thank you so much for choosing The Banjaran as the destination for your recent holiday.

We are delighted to read your comments and to know that you had a "wonderful stay". When I shared your review with the team in our daily briefing they were all singing and dancing. Thank you also for the nice feedback about our breakfast, we recently upgraded our buffet and menu by adding lot more choices on a la carte with over 30 dishes now and we introduced a fresh juice station where guests can mix and match from a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables and all prepared fresh before your eyes.

Once again many thanks and as I say please don't wait too long before you come back!

With best personal regards,

Alex Castaldi

Banjaran is one of a kind in Malaysia.

Set in a valley amidst limestone hills, each villa is furnished luxuriously.

Service is over the top.

A must do is to dine at the Joe cellar which is set in a cave complete with dripping water and stalactites.

Stayed here over a long birthday weekend. The place is even more stunning than the pictures here, with mystical hotspring steam rising over the water as you enter, the villas we stayed in had a private pool and another jacuzzi in the backyard which uses the naturally heated geothermal water.

The property is vast, with a meditation cave, a crystal cave, a huge spa (for which patrons get a complimentary masage coupon), a coffee / R&R room along with their restaurant The Pomelo. Visitors can hike to The Lost World (a water park) through the premises of the Banjaran and get free entry to the park.

The service is exceptional and the staff is excellent in their attentiveness. They even left a flower arrangement with chocolate mousse in our room for the birthday! What's more, the place is a 30 min drive from Ipoh's Old Town!

Banjaran is everything I read it to be and more. The place and staff were specially attentive and warm to us. Everything was perfect, from the time we checked in till we left. As our check in was slightly delayed, they accommodated us with a complimentary lunch. That gave us some time to unwind and relax. We stayed in the Water Villa which was nice with the fish in the lake and the view.
The amenities around the resort with the caves and dipping pools was a really good experience. It took us a day to see it all and take our time walking around the resort. We even took the jungle walk and there were no mosquitoes in sight.
Dinner at Jeff's Celler was very romantic and the staff - Thaya, Vidhya and Apple made the experience so much nicer by telling where to get the best photos taken, telling us their experiences and just simply making feel relaxed with earnest chats. We really appreciated that. That made the night so much more special.
Overall the experience was amazing. We will surely be making a trip in the near future to this resort.

Room tip: There's water stations around the resort, this is very conveniently placed near the Steam and Crystal caves.

The Resort was defenitely our highlight on a 3 weeks trip through Malaysia. The welcome (check in) was the only hick up as 3 couples arrived the same time and there was no one supporting with the luggage. Anyhow, this can happen as the rest was extraordinary! Welcome drink with cold towels, a free room upgrade as we stayed for a longer period, detailed explanations about the resort, a lot of activities free of charge (yoga, Tai Chi, cocktail, jungle walks,....). The villa itself breathtaking, with all amenities you are looking for (including excellent wifi throughout the whole resort). No mosquitos detected by the way....
The staff in the resort is extremely attentive and always good for going the extra mile.
The breakfast-a real experience. Dinner in Jeff's Cellar-completely exceptional! The different resort amenities (crystal cave,...) - unique. If you are looking for an exceptional experience-go for it!
