    We stayed at Sofitel about 3 years back. The food then wasn't great but most people went for the golf. This time, we found the rooms getting a bit run-down. But the level of service from the staff has improved. Not to say there can't be more improvements, but we could see the competence & initiative of some staff. The rooms could be spruced up a little and they definitely need to get a new supply of room towels. Most were threadbare and there was a situation of not having enough cos all rooms were fully taken up. We had to wait a whole day to get fresh ones.

    The food at the Ishwara has improved tremendously. We had the buffet dinner and also the buffet breakfast every morning.

    It is a nice place to go for R & R, a short break away from Singapore.

    Nice for walks pass the golf course or driving range.

    They have nice pools, a recreation one with wading pool for kids & a Olympic sized one at the recreation building.

    There's a Sports and recreation building with a 6-lane Bowling Alley, 2 Pool tables and 1 Biliard table, squash courts, lawn tennis, a small gym.

    Just a note though that all the facilties need sprucing up.

    For those who drive in, there's a car wash and polish service. We were quite happy with the polish service. Car wash @RM$10 Wash, vacuum, polish & wax @RM$70. Call Ganesh 016-7110260

    We have used this hotel for overnight accomodation on two ocassions. Initially we chose it from the Airasia website as a cheap stop over close to the Senai Airport . Airasia is a low cost carrier that flies to a large number of Malaysian destinations. From Johor Bahru we've flown to Penang in 2004 & then to Kota Kinnabalu in 2005. This hotel was one of the nicest surprises of that first holiday. It was the first time ever that I had booked accomodation over the internet without any advice or help from my travel agent. My surprise was how nice this hotel was. The rooms were spacious & clean loads of room in the large kingsize bed. The buffet breakfast included with the nights accomodation was a great start to the day especially as we had to be at the airport 2 hours before our flight time. We were asked to wait while they prepared our room but they did have a lounge area with a TV for us to watch while we waited. I guess if it hadn't been raining the kids would have gone for a swim in their large pool. Our second stay was a late night arrival into JB so the short taxi ride to this hotel was good. We had a very tired 8yr old & this time we were checked in very quickly. Again the room was clean.

    The one outstanding features of this hotel is that it is 25-35 minutes north of the bustling border town of Johor Bahru. It is an oasis of calm as it is set in the grounds of a fantastic golf course. The views looking out over the course & gardens is wonderful. The hotel also has a very large pool to swim in. For the ladies there is a day spa but I've never stayed long enough to use it. The hotel also drives you to the airport if you request it.
