"In overall our stay is excellent. We booked the deluxe room so we don't need to experience long queue like people who book the standard room. We had our breakfast on the top floor of tower 1 and the food is good. Some local delicacies are excellent, but too spicy to digest in the morning. Need to improve on the variety of the food. Compared to the other hotels in Genting Highland, I think the First world hotel is the best. "

"The location is ideal as it is near to most attractions in Genting Highlands. The breakfast package was very worthy, I would recommend alone to go for it. The staff were really friendly too, making us felt welcomed. However, the only con is its distance to the parking lot and you'll need to go a whole big round after leaving the carpark to pick up family members back at the hotel. "

"Resort Hotel is a mid-tier hotel in Genting Highlands. Clean, adequate. Two single beds are super singles. Bathroom has rain shower as well as hand-shower, no bathtub. 2 bottles complimentary water. No free wifi in rooms; only free wifi (good signal) in lobby area. Buy mobile data from digi (in genting sky avenue mall). I used data pack from maxis bought in KL (very good signal - cheap about S$7 for almost 1 gb + RM5 voice calls for 10 days period). Rooms facing cable-car and greenery have good view but a bit noisy from the mosque calls. Transtar coaches are taken from B5 basement with direct lifts from Resort Hotel, so very convenient. Food - Food court and cafe in B5 using lifts. Use escalators to Marry Brown fast food and other cafes, or another set of escalators then walk abt 5-10mins to Malaysian Street Food Court, or walk a bit further 10-15 mins to First World food areas."

"this hotel stay has been a total surprise for us. it all started out with my silly mistake assuming that awana genting highlands golf and country resort is one of the hotels on the summit of the genting highlands. when we arrived at the the summit, we searched around for a hotel by this name, and finally we gave up and approached one of the hotel receptionist in the area. she told us that we have made a mistake in our hotel bookings and the one that we have actually reserved is another hotel elsewhere. we were quite shocked by this blunder, we even contemplated giving up our original bookings in the awana genting highlands golf and country resort and just settled for any available rooms that we can find at the summit. however after a quick discussion, we decided against this rash idea as we are quite attracted by the room photos that we saw during our hotel booking on agoda. grudgingly, we made our way to the golf and country resort. when we arrived at this correct hotel and we stepped into the room, we are very impressed with what we got!!! the room is huge; the balcony that overlooks the golf greens was wonderful; the resort restaurant that we settled for our dinner had a very picturesque overview of the landscape. all these aside, there was a shutter service that runs from this resort to the genting summit at a 30 min frequency (day time) to 1 hr frequency (wee hours in the night). this makes traveling to the genting summit a non-issue for us and in the end we get to enjoy both a wonderful stay in this resort and a fun-time at the genting summit."
