2D1N Sinar Eco Resort [Malaysia]

This trip was done together with the group whom I used to spend nights with at St. John Island, Pulau Ubin and in campus. It is not easy to travel with friends and their families. But with this group, I would agree to it without any hesitation. So here it is, the 15 of us for a 2D1N stay at Sinar Eco Resort in Malaysia.



We have a total of 6 adults and 9 kids, hence we booked Legends of Music Room that was in the apartment and each level comes with 3 bedrooms and a living room. Per bedroom came with two queen beds and infact, it was pretty spacious! Some of us shared rooms while one of the room was given to the family with the hubby who came. Nothing fanciful for the rooms except for the portraits on the wall which Vera disliked it but the amenities were basic enough for a comfortable kampung stay. 

We took the package that includes 5 meals for everyone, this was really wonderful! Firstly, we did not need to rack our brains on what to eat. Second, the food served at Lavender Cafe was of homecooked style, simple yet flavorful! The soup was really good and we confirmed that no msg was added because it was so nice that we had more than one serving and we did not feel thirsty at all after consuming it. 

The cafe was built with see through glass wall that allows natural sunlight to come into the space, air-conditioned, spacious and pretty comfortable, minus the flies. There was a table assigned to us through out both days. 


With a playground located just right beside the cafe, we could just easily watch the kids play while we continued to dine. And I think I would like to mention this too! There were two birthday babies for the month and the staff had kindly assisted my friend in getting a cake and it was a really pleasant surprise that they dished out the cake in this presentation, dimmed the lights a little and played the birthday song in loops. Two thumbs up for the staff for going an extra mile! 


Now, the trip has to be completed with a durian feast! The kitchen staff assisted us in the ordering, not the cheapest at RM20 per kg but trust me, although we did not know the grade of those thorny fruits but they tasted decent! It was not about the price but the company that matters and to add on, we were really impressed with the service of the staff, they set up tables at the pavilion which was just right beside the swimming pool, pryed open the fruits for us! Their service by the staff was really applaudable, such that we had gladly tip for their excellent service! 


Buggy service were made easily available if you did not feel like walking under the sun. Just make your request to any staff you spot around the reception area. 


Here's what we did around the farm. Our room package included mini zoo activites like animal petting and feeding, free tractor ride around the farm and use of swimming pool.

The kids went feeding at the bunnies' enclosure and went stroking the cats. There was this most adorable kitten we spotted, all the kids could not resist cuddling it!


Next was to feed the cattles and the flocks.





The very nice staff actually taught Vera how to hold a chicken without any struggles.


This city-kid of mine was on cloud nine for being able to hold a chicken! Such a brave girl! No chickens were harmed at any point of time. =)


We top up for other activities like milking the cow and horse riding. Finally, she brushed aside her fear of horse-riding after the fall from the horse during our Hua Hin trip and was willing to give a try after I convinced her that she would be fine this time. Basically, this horse was a retired racing horse and according to the staff who looked after it, this horse has a gentle temperament.




I had my first ATV ride this round! Infact, Xav had his experience at Farm Chok Chai, Khao Yai and he thought he could drive on his own like before.  Apparently, there was an uncle managing the station (not the staff) told me that the ATVs were not the usual, what they had were the more "hardcore" type and advised me that for every riding child, there should be an accompanying adult. So end up, I got to ride 6 rounds but managed to get a friend to go on two rounds while I took the remaining.


I went for a round by myself to have a feel of it before I got Vera and Xav to hop on individually. Indeed, it was really heavy to steer, my arms seemed to be screaming after two rounds. I allowed Xav to control the ATV on the move and he could tell me the difference. This was indeed much heavier! Anyway, it was a great experience riding with the kids!


Would I recommend this place? Personally, yes for a getaway from the bustling city just to be in touch with nature and yes should you need a social media detox. This place is good as they do not provide wifi at all.

I feel that this self-contained resort is sufficient for a 2D1N stay, not the most well-maintained farm I say but basic standard for the accomodation was met. You may also wish to hop over to read Cheekie Monkies' review, I got to know of this resort from his post.
