No wonder the hotel room is very huge.....

The Le Grandeur Palm Resort is a 330-room luxurious deluxe category hotel, with three 18-hole golf courses located in Senai, Johor.

Hidden away amongst luxuriant golf greens and verdant, tropical landscapes, it sits in a world divided from the hustle and bustle of city life,


but just 3 minutes' drive from the Senai International Airport,


the main airport servicing the state of Johor at the southernmost part of Peninsular Malaysia.



The Le Grandeur Palm Resort is the only property that is not in Indonesia and is owned by Sinar Mas Land. Sinar Mas Land is a huge conglomerate company in Indonesia and is under the Tycoon Widjaja family.

which year you stay at there?

I stay at 2022 may.

That time the room have a bit dust.

But covid-19 lock down almost 3 years.



As announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Prime Minister of Malaysia Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri Yaakob on 24 March 2022, Singapore and Malaysia will reopen our land borders for fully vaccinated travellers, from 31 March 2022, 2359 hours.


All fully vaccinated travellers, and non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below, are permitted to enter Singapore without the need to undergo border health measures, such as testing and quarantine.

Went here back in 2019.
Yes, its a bit old resort hotel type, but very well maintained and managed. The huge room size is probably because the patio is 1/3 of the size. laugh.gif
Kidding aside, it was a decent room, with decent pool.
But what made an impression was the breakfast duty manager. He was really one of those manager who walks fast, checked everything that came out of the kitchen and gave the servers a hard time. Its rare to find those kind of passion in the service industry these days.

During my stay, there were a few units booked by Korean tourists, so that morning the breakfast had some korean dishes including kimchi. I think its good that the resort was very accommodating to cater to their guests, however small the group was.

One of my most pleasant stay, had wanted to come back there again, but there wasn't much else to do around there. Plus, its a little in a distance from the main JB town area.

I think it might be due to low business. Mount Austin opened a golf club around 2006 or 2007.


Horizon Hills and Impian Emas also have golf clubs. Kulai IOI also has a golf club. Between 1995 and 2010, many golf clubs opened in Johor Bahru, leading to a lot of competition.

Actually, the Koreans work and live in the Johor Bahru area. Some Koreans live in Singapore and drive to Johor. Sin Chew Johor edition reported this news last time.

Affordably priced, boasting an inviting ambiance, and offering generously sized rooms.


A distinctive feature is the presence of a hotel – a rarity among many golf clubs in Johor Bahru.

Its strategic location near Senai Airport adds to its allure.
