With just 25 villas in this exclusive hotspring resort in Ipoh, Malaysia, the Banjaran HotSpring Retreat is a great place to escape from the concrete jungle that we are used to.
We had a wonderfully memorable experience at the Banjaran Hotspring Retreat where we spent two nights at the Garden Villa.
As we arrived around noon, and the rooms were not available for check-in, we explored the retreat before having lunch at the only restaurant in the retreat, The Pomelo. After our lunch, the butler came by in a buggy to pick us up and bring us to our room. Great service! And our luggages were already placed neatly in our villa. WOW!

| The bracelet that all guests are given... is actually the key to our villa |
We were impressed not only by the service provided by the staff in going to the restaurant to pick up us, but we were also intrigued by the above bracelet that was put on our wrist. The above is actually the key to our villa. Without us ever having to worry about bringing the villa key with us or losing it.
