We went to Genting Highlands for short relaxing vacation. We needed 3 bedrooms as we have 7 family members, 4 adults and 3 kids.
For our stays, we chose AirBNB because it gives as better room space, kitchen area and better pricing compared to hotels. Furthermore there are lots of new condominium in Genting Highlands.
We have few options to choose for:
1) Geo 38
2) Vista Residence
3) Midhills
We decided to stay in Midhills because it offered best price for 3 bedrooms.
Water pressure at Midhill is superbly good. When you are showering, you feel awesome by the water pressure.
Floor is tiles so a bit cold at nigth.
The unit doesn’t provide aircond only ceiling fan. But Genting Highland is already cold, so you can sleep well at night without the aircond.
The LED TV doesnt have USB port to play my movies inside my external hardisk. It has NJOI and internet. Network coverage is a bit bad here . Only 3G so internet a bit slow.
Recommendation
I recommend MidHills Condominium because it offers:
1) Best value for money
2) The unit I stays is really cozy and provided with lots of simple things but give lots of convenient.

The Condo
The Unit Layout
I stayed inside a unit of 2+1 bedrooms, size of 999 sqft. The third room doesn’t have a wall, so the owner did a sliding door as separator for the third bedroom.
Thanks to the Genting Integrated Tourism Plan (GITP) plan, especially the expected 20th Century Fox Theme Park (now cancelled), 5 new condominium being constructed and completed at Genting Highlands. It actual location is at Genting Permai.
I would like to do analysis on the first 4 condominium as they are nearer to each other. Which condo is the best to invest in? What unique value the condo can offer vs its competitor?

Property Developers Reputation
When choosing a property, we also must evaluate its developer as it will tell whether you will get quality workmanship, deliver on time and as advertised. To evaluate that I compare based on The Edge Property Excellence Award (as it is easy to find info and the award relates on property quality as well).
Besides I try to find the developers QClassic Scoring. Unfortunately not easy to find information for the correspondent developers.
The Edge Property Excellence Award
The Edge Property Excellence Award (TEPEA) is an award given to property developers based on their quantitative attributes:
Quality Assessment System in Construction (QLASSIC) is a system or method to measure and evaluate the workmanship quality of a building construction work based on Construction Industry Standard (CIS 7). QLASSIC enables the quality of workmanship between construction projects to be objectively compared through a scoring system.
