Having travelled to several well known luxury resorts in different parts if the world this one tops the lot. The staff from manager to the hard working groundsmen are amazing, always a smile and greeting like no other. The villas are perfect in every way. The amazing Jeff's Cellars cave restaurant and Pomelo Restaurant at resort also deserve a five star mention ***** well done. Coming from hospitality background for over 20 years we know how hard these people work to make your stay a memorable one. So thank you Alex, Raymond and your dedicated crew

Cheeky Tots

We are a family-friendly indoor leisure centre that intends to provide young children and parents a safe and comfortable place to share some fun and precious moments together. At the heart of the leisure centre is a children soft play, a.k.a. play gym or playland, system that is designed in and imported from the UK. There are also role play areas where children can exercise their imagination and immerse themselves in a bit of pretend play. The intention of the soft play apparatus is to help children learn new motor skills, as well as for them to develop or exercise their social skills through interactions, in a comfortable, fun and stimulating environment. Uniquely, at least in Ipoh anyway, we have a full fledged kitchen capable of serving a variety of food suitable for both adults and children, including parties too! And we have the added bonus of wash room facilities within our security perimeter, thus allowing children to independently and safely attend to their business.

Ipoh World at Han Chin Pet Soo

Ipoh World (IpohWorld) is an education-based, not-for-profit organisation established in 2004 to promote awareness and appreciation of Perak, the Silver State of Malaysia and its unique, diverse and rich heritage, with particular focus on Ipoh and the Kinta Valley. In 2006 we ran our first public exhibition "The Story of Ipoh: From Feet to Flight", in cooperation with Darul Ridzuan Museum. Since then, supported by sponsorship, we have run several more exhibitions while continuing to seek further financial support for a permanent, lively and interesting heritage gallery for Ipoh, thus enhancing both education and tourism. This current project, our first permanent, museum quality exhibition is our first step to fulfilling this objective. Advance booking is recommended as space in the building is limited. You may book via our website by clicking on Exhibitions or by the QR Code on our brochure. It is quick and easy and you receive a booking confirmation by return.

Educational and informative visit with guided tour by an English speaking guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable, an introduction to the Hakka culture and their tin mining forays in Malaysia, recommend a visit here, location is near to concubine Lane, best to make prior appointment but can walk in as well and if they have space they will accommodate you, there is no entrance fees but highly recommend that you leave a small donation for them to upkeep the place, we enjoyed our visit here

Yasmin At Kong Heng

Yasmin Ahmad's commercials and movies struck a chord with many a local (and more than a few from abroad) for their honest portrayal of the beauty of everyday Malaysian life. She showed us ordinary, flawed human beings who are capable of being extraordinary - of achieving great things and great happiness, because love and kinship triumph above all else. It is our ultimate goal to propagate this spirit of universal harmony through Yasmin's philosophies that she channelled through her many works. If life imitates art as well as the other way round, we can think of no better purpose to establish an outlet for such artistic expressions to flourish freely. THE YASMIN AHMAD MUSEUM: Yasmin At Kong Heng A resource centre as well as unconventional 'museum' curated with the objective of educating and inspiring others to write film or commercial scripts of their own. It is a small but flexible space where the late Yasmin Ahmad's spirit, love, wisdom and sense of humour can continue inspiring the next generation. The location of Kong Heng in Ipoh was chosen for its proximity to many of the locales where Yasmin shot her famous films. It will not be a conventional museum for a 'dead person's things' or stagnant archives with permanent plaques. Instead, Yasmin At Kong Heng is an evolving space with content that is refreshed every 6 months to 1 year. Yasmin's life's work - whether in film, poetry, photography, TV and even print advertising - will be shared in a "newseum" that inspires and springboards new talent and ideas. And, in the near future, we want to make it a place for local creative talent to shine - from students and aspiring filmmakers to new artists who need an exhibition space.

My family and I went there for a massage after dinner last week. All 7 of us were satisfied with the service (foot massage and body massage). My therapist was Mike and as I usually had foot reflexology regularly, I could tell that he is skilful and accurate in pressing on the right meridian point. My family members were satisfied with the service provided by the other therapists too! Place was clean and reception was friendly. It may not have the ambience of an upmarket spa, but we just wanted a clean and safe place with relaxing massage and cheaper than spa places. Content House checked all the boxes!

Seong Man

“Seong Man” is a teahouse (vegetarian & muslim-friendly) in Ipoh, Malaysia. A place where we share our love for local and oriental traditional art, crafts & cultures. It's also a space for art exhibitions and cultural events. We mainly serve tea and desserts (and meals on weekends). Calm and soothe your mind while enjoying your tea time at Seong Man, appreciate the beauty of oriental antiques and local vintage furniture. We are located close to the Mural Art's Lane in Ipoh New Town. Just a 10-minute-walk from Ipoh Old Town area. You can get our location from Google Map or Waze too, by searching "Seong Man Ipoh".

The Geological Museum

Reviewed By AnnT364 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I'm not really into geology, so I didn't really expect much from this museum. Boy, was I in for a surprise! Parking just outside the entrance was free. You have to take off your shoes to enter, so it's clean. Walking around bare-footed gave the place a homely feeling! No need to pay any entrance fee, just register yourself in the visitors book at the front counter. Though the museum is relatively small, it is well organised and well kept. The exhibits and information are easy to comprehend and make geology sound so interesting! Would definitely recommend on a trip to Ipoh. Do take note of the opening times before you go. Mon - Thur 9.00 am - 12.30 pm, 2.00 - 4.30 pm Fri 9.00 am - 12.00 pm, 3.00 - 4.30 pm Sat, Sun, public holidays Closed
