Johor Bahru's EPIC LegoLand, KTV, Netflix & Pool Paradise! π€―
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we’re about to dive HEADFIRST into the absolute, chaotic JOY that is Johor Bahru’s EPIC LegoLand, KTV, Netflix & Pool Paradise! π€― Forget everything you think you know about boring hotel reviews. This is going to be… well, it’s gonna be ME, unfiltered. Get ready for a rollercoaster.
(And because apparently, the robots demand it, here are some keywords to get us started: Johor Bahru hotels, Legoland Malaysia, KTV, Netflix hotel, Pool Paradise, accessible hotels, family-friendly hotels, spa, dining, free wifi, best hotels JB, hotel near Legoland)
Okay, so first things first: the name. "EPIC LegoLand, KTV, Netflix & Pool Paradise"? That sounds… ambitious. And honestly? It mostly delivers. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. This is a journey, people. A gloriously messy, potentially bumpy journey.
Getting There & Accessibility - Not Exactly Smooth Sailing, But Promising (Kinda)
Getting to the hotel? Alright, the airport transfer was… adequate. Let’s call it that. They got me there, eventually. (Cough, a little late, cough). Now, the accessibility stuff? This is vital. The hotel claims to have facilities for disabled guests, and that's AMAZING. I didn't personally need them, but I did scope things out. The elevator is a godsend, crucial. Wheelchair accessible areas are present, but I'd recommend checking the specifics for your personal needs. It’s not quite a flawlessly designed accessible haven, but it’s a damn good start.
Inside the Fortress of Fun: Rooms with a View (and Netflix!)
My room. Ah, my room. (Cue a dramatic sigh). Okay, first, let's talk about the good stuff. Wi-Fi [free]? Check! Internet access – wireless in the room? Double-check! Wi-Fi in all rooms? You betcha! Seriously, this is a huge win. Streaming Netflix on the big screen? Yes, please! Finally, a hotel that understands me. The blackout curtains were a game-changer. Sleep is crucial, especially after a long day of… well, everything. And my room had a view!. Okay, it was a view of… another building. But still! And I had a **desk, and was able to do my work and stream netflix at the same time! So it really was an EPIC location to stay
Now the not-so-good. The decor? Let's just say it's… eclectic. There was a strong sense of "trying really, really hard." Some of the furniture looked like it had seen better days. But hey, I'm not judging. (Okay, maybe a little). The air conditioning worked like a charm, and the extra long bed was truly amazing. The bathroom was decently sized, and I loved the bathrobes! So comfortable!
The KTV: My Personal Karaoke Catastrophe
Okay, here is where we get to the BEST part. The KTV. I was SO hyped. The mere mention of a KTV room in the brochure set my pulse racing. This was a place where dreams were made… and potentially where eardrums were shattered.
The KTV room itself was… well, let’s just say it’s a sensory experience. The lighting was… let's call it “intense.” The selection of songs was vast, but surprisingly, a majority were songs that had been out 20 years ago. (Do people still listen to Haddaway?). I chose a power ballad. I belted it out. I thought I was AMAZING. Then, I heard the playback. Let's just leave it at that. It was a memorable experience, and that counts for something, right? π€
The Pool Paradise: A Glimpse of Actual Paradise (with a Side of Chlorine)
The swimming pool [outdoor] is the real deal. It’s gorgeous. A pool with view? Yes, please! I spent a solid chunk of time just floating, staring at the sky, and forgetting all my worries. This is precisely what you need after destroying your vocal cords. The poolside bar was well-stocked, the drinks were… passable, and the atmosphere was pure, unadulterated relaxation. They even had a poolside bar. (The bottle of water was very appreciated). The pool really lived up to its name! I didn't get to use the sauna or steamroom, but they were there, looking inviting.
Food, Glorious Food (and Drinks!)
The restaurants at this place were… varied. There was the Asian cuisine in restaurant, the Western cuisine in restaurant, and the vegetarian restaurant. It was like a food adventure, it was great! I got to try everything! The breakfast [buffet] was solid, with the Asian breakfast being my personal favourite. I also, absolutely, loved the coffee. The desserts in restaurant was also incredibly delicious and had me wanting more! The happy hour was a nice touch, and the happy hour at the bar was also a nice touch.
The room service [24-hour] was a lifesaver after my KTV performance. The snack bar was great for quick bites. You could get a bottle of water.
A personal note: The hotel’s commitment to Safe dining setup* was great. They had individually-wrapped food options and a safe dining setup. In these times, it's the little things.
Things To Do and Ways to Relax: It's Got It All… Mostly.*
Okay, so beyond the pool and KTV, there's a LOT going on. A gym/fitness center? Yep. Spa/sauna? Yep, a spa. They also had a fitness center, which I am not using - because food is amazing and i am not great at working out! Massage? You know it. Body scrub and body wrap? Yup!
They also had all the things that you would be required to have in this day and age, like hand sanitizers, physical distancing of at least 1 meter, and they were cleaned too!
For the kids: I do see some Kids facilities and a babysitting service.
Services and Conveniences: The Nitty-Gritty
The hotel also had a concierge, a convenience store, a currency exchange, and luggage storage. You know, the regular stuff. Daily housekeeping was spot-on, the staff was always friendly. They had safety deposit boxes.
Cleanliness and Safety: Keeping it Real
This is a huge one. I appreciated the effort. They have daily disinfection in common areas. The staff were all trained in safety protocol. Rooms sanitized between stays (another win!) They have hand sanitizers everywhere. The daily disinfection in common areas.
The Bottom Line: Should You Book?

Athens Escape: Stunning 2BD Piraeus Apartment with Balcony!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to plunge headfirst into a Tuas-to-Johor Bahru itinerary that's less "smooth sailing" and more "slightly panicked adventure." This is my attempt to wrangle a trip that includes LegoLand, KTV, Netflix, and a pool. Pray for me. And pray with me.
The Grand Plan (Or, What I Think the Plan Is): Tuas to Johor Bahru - The Emotional Rollercoaster
Day 1: The Exodus from Singapore (and the creeping sense of "oh god, what have I gotten myself into?")
7:00 AM: Wake Up (or Rather, Drag Myself Out of Bed). Okay, this is the dream. Actually waking up. In reality? "Wake up" usually involves a symphony of snoozes, a frantic search for my glasses, and the crushing realization that my coffee maker is probably plotting against me. I swore I’d pack the night before. Lies. All lies.
8:00 AM: The Great Packing Heist. Okay, so NOW I’m packing. It looks something like a toddler's birthday party threw up in my suitcase. I am desperately searching for my passport and wallet. I find my passport and wallet. Crisis averted. For now.
9:00 AM: Border Crossing, The First Circle of Hell (or, the causeway). The causeway. The bane of every Singaporean-Malaysian traveler's existence. Traffic. Heat. Anxiety levels through the roof. I'm already daydreaming about that first ice-cold beer. The lines are always LONG. I’m praying to whatever deities are listening that I don’t get stuck behind someone trying to smuggle a Durian across. (Seriously, the smell alone…)
10:30 AM: Arrival in JB! (And the sudden, glorious realization that… I'm ALIVE!). I'm through the border! I made it! I did it! Oh, the joy! This warrants a celebratory deep breath… followed by a quick scan of the car park for any signs of imminent danger. JB, here I come!
11:00 AM: LegoLand, Here We Go! (And the bittersweet symphony of kids, screaming, and plastic bricks). Dropped off luggage at the hotel. LegoLand. I love Legos. I love building. I hate children. (Just kidding…mostly). The excitement is REAL. I'm feeling the kid in me stir. It’s my happy place! This part is smooth sailing. I have my park ticket, water bottles, and sunscreen are secure.
2:00 PM: LegoLand Lunch & Debrief. A much-needed break. My feet are killing me already. Food courts are overwhelming. I'm feeling the fatigue. The realization hits; I'm older than the building blocks themselves. Still, time to re-group, eat something, and plan the rest of the day.
3:00 PM: Still at LegoLand. More Rides. More smiles. More Lego.
6:00 PM: Hotel Check-In (and the frantic search for the room key… again). Finally, some air conditioning! The hotel room better be clean. I need a shower, stat.
7:00 PM: KTV Night (and the inevitable vocal butchering of classic power ballads). KTV time. Karaoke. I will be honest, my voice is… well, let’s just say it’s a work in progress. But who cares? It’s about the spirit! Drinks, bad singing, and questionable dance moves. Perfection. We should have gone to the KTV we know. Darn.
10:00 PM: Midnight Netflix Binge (and the realization that the subtitles are in… Klingon?). Back at the hotel, finally. Netflix time! I’m so tired. I'll find something easy to watch. Except the streaming is broken. I just want to switch off.
Day 2: Pool Dreams and Departure Doldrums
9:00 AM: Sleep… eventually. Woke up late after all the things in Day 1. I feel like I've been hit my a truck.
10:00 AM: The Pool! (and the desperate attempt to look vaguely attractive in a swimsuit). I could not wait for the pool. I am in the mood to just chill out and have a good time.
12:00 PM: Final Lunch. This is all becoming a bit much. Need a rest.
2:00 PM: Back to Singapore. Another border crossing. Another potential Durian encounter.
3:30 PM: Home Sweet Home. Ah, the familiar comfort of my own… utter chaos. Laundry, unpacking, and the inevitable post-trip blues.
Food Considerations:
- Roti Canai craving!! Gotta start with something amazing. Should get that!
- Nasi Lemak. Need. This. Always.
- Hoping for a good hawker center. Gotta get a proper meal.
The Grand Finale (Or, My Final Thoughts):
This is NOT a perfect itinerary. It's messy. It's probably going to be exhausting. But it's mine. And hopefully, amidst the chaos, there will be moments of pure joy, the kind that only a slightly-off-kilter adventure can deliver. Wish me luck. I’m going to need it. And maybe a valium. Just kidding (mostly). Let the games begin!

Johor Bahru: The EPIC, Messy, Wonderful FAQ – LegoLand, KTV, Netflix & Pool Chaos!
Okay, seriously, is LegoLand Johor Bahru actually worth the hype? My kids are INSISTING.
Ugh, LegoLand. Look, it's complicated. On the one hand, yes. The sheer scale of the stuff built from LEGO is absolutely MIND-BLOWING. My jaw practically dislocated the first time I saw the miniature Malaysia made entirely of bricks. My kid, bless her heart, was practically speechless for, like, a whole five minutes. Five minutes! That's practically a lifetime for her. And seeing that look on her face? Worth the price of admission.
But, and this is a HUGE but, the crowds... the lines... the relentless sun... It's a marathon, not a sprint. Pack snacks! Seriously. And water. And maybe a portable fan. I almost passed out from the heat trying to get on the Pirate Ship ride. And the food? Let's just say it's theme park food. You know the drill. Overpriced and probably not quite as delicious as you secretly hoped.
So, yeah. Definitely do it. Just prepare yourself mentally and physically. And maybe invest in a good, strong sun umbrella. Trust me, you'll thank me later. Oh, and book your tickets online. You'll save yourself a metric ton of waiting. Seriously.
What about the *hotel* at LegoLand? Worth the extra money? My wallet is already crying.
The Hotel... Okay, let's be real. It *is* expensive. Brutally so. But... the kids LOVE it. Like, truly, madly, deeply obsessed. That elevator ride with the disco lights and music? Pure gold. My kids were practically bouncing off the walls in excitement every time.
The rooms are themed, which is adorable. But again, remember this is a theme park experience. It is not a luxurious five-star hotel. It's more a four-star, *very* kid-focused, slightly worn-around-the-edges kind of place. Think well-worn LEGO bricks.
Consider the breakfast buffet an experience. The choices are extensive which means crowds. You will be circling like a vulture looking for a free table. Worth it? Well, depends on your priorities.
My personal advice? Maybe splurge for one night. Let the kids live out their LEGO fantasy. Then move to a more budget-friendly hotel. Your bank account (and your sanity) will thank you.
KTV! Tell me all about the KTV Scene! Is it, like, *good* good?
Okay, KTV, or Karaoke Television. This is where things get interesting. JB has a LOT of KTV places. From super-swanky, high-tech joints to... well, let's call them "more intimate" establishments.
I had one *memorable* KTV experience, a messy night, fueled in equal parts by cheap drinks and misplaced confidence. My friends and I belted out a questionable rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" (which probably shattered some glass) and I am fairly certain I saw one of the waitresses give me *the look* as I attempted to sing.
The song selection is usually pretty extensive. English, Mandarin, Malay, even some random Korean pop. The sound quality? Well, let's just say it varies. Some places have fantastic systems. Others... not so much.
My recommendation: Do your research. Read reviews. And maybe, just maybe, avoid choosing a song that showcases your vocals. Unless you want to provide your friends with a good laugh.
Okay, what about the food scene? Any recommendations? I'm hungry already.
Food! YES! This is where JB shines. The food is AMAZING. Seriously. From street food to fancy restaurants, you'll be spoiled for choice.
I absolutely loved this tiny little hawker stall that served this char kway teow that nearly made me cry from happiness when I first found it. It was SO good. Smoky, savory, perfect. (I'm sorry I can't remember the exact name or location. I just followed the crowds!).
Seriously. Get out there and explore. Try the local delicacies. Don't be afraid to take a chance. Wander down a back alley. The best food is usually found in the most unexpected places. Bring some antacids because you will be eating *a lot*.
What's the deal with Netflix and chill in JB? (Legally speaking, of course)
Netflix and chill is… well, it's like anywhere else. You need a subscription. And hopefully, you remember to log out before you leave your hotel room. Don't get caught using someone else's account!
That said, availability depends on the hotel's Wi-Fi, which can be a mixed bag, and a good VPN can be useful if you want to access content from your home country. But hey, you're on vacation! Maybe you should be outside, exploring and enjoying the moment, not in front of a screen. *Maybe*. No judgement!
Are there any good pool paradises? I need to cool off after LegoLand! π₯΅
Pool paradises, yes! JB has a few decent ones. Most of the bigger hotels have pools. Some have water slides and all sorts of kid-friendly fun. Check out the hotel reviews to get a sense of the pool situation. Just expect them to also be on the crowded side.
My experience at one water park in the area was… well, let’s just say it involved more screaming kids than actual swimming. But the slides WERE fun. It's a good way to cool off after a humid day of sightseeing.
Tip: Sunscreen. Lots of it. And reapply religiously!
Anything I should avoid? Any *disasters* I should be aware of? Hit me with the truth!
Okay, the truth. Honestly, getting lost in JB isn't uncommon. The traffic can be horrific, so give yourself a LOT of extra time toHotel Hide Aways
