Malaysia Tourist Trap Tips by lmkluque
Malaysia Tourist Traps: 52 reviews and 22 photos
This resort wasn't really a tourist trap, except the name is a bit deceiving for two reasons.
First, we thought this was going to be the GENTING HIGHLAND RESORT. It wasn't, of course, rather it was a resort with a "view" of the Genting Highland Resort.
Second; because from our living room window we should have had a view of the Genting Highland Resort high up the mountain from us, instead we saw this, a construction of the Genting View Resort, a new resort blocking our view of Genting Highland Resort! Can't escape progress where ever we go!
The funny thing is that this type of creative naming doesn't just trick tourists, it tricks the locals as well.
Fun Alternatives: About the only thing you can do is to really pay attention to the wording. We didn't and we were surprised.
Thankfully not one of us were grouchy people. We just accepted the misconception and had a great time anyway.
