Malacca's BEST View: Oceanfront Pool & Bathtub Suite (2BR)!
Malacca's BEST View: Oceanfront Pool & Bathtub Suite (2BR)!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving deep into the Malacca's BEST View: Oceanfront Pool & Bathtub Suite (2BR)! This isn't just a hotel review, it's a journey. Consider this my honest diary entry after surviving, and mostly enjoying, this place.
Let’s be honest, the name is a bit of a mouthful, isn’t it?
First things first: Accessibility. Now, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I always appreciate a place that thinks about it. This place tries. They have elevators (thank goodness - imagine hauling luggage up a gazillion stairs!), and while I didn't scrutinize every doorway, the general vibe was "trying to be inclusive." Good start, guys! They also offer facilities for disabled guests, which is a huge plus.
Internet – The Savior of Modern Life
Okay, crucial stuff. Internet access? Yes! Free Wi-Fi in ALL rooms? Praise be! This is non-negotiable for me. I need to stream, stalk, and, you know, work (kinda). They also claim to have Ethernet (Internet [LAN]), but honestly, who uses that dinosaur nowadays? Free Wi-Fi in public areas too. Score!
Cleanliness and Safety – Because Germs Are Not My Friends
Okay, this is where my inner germaphobe went from "mildly concerned" to "slightly impressed." The world isn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows right now, but Malacca’s BEST View has clearly taken it seriously. They’re advertising anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and even room sanitization between stays. They even offer a "Room sanitization opt-out available" if you’re feeling brave. Kudos. They are trying. Hand sanitizer everywhere, staff trained in safety protocol, and even a doctor/nurse on call. It made me feel a little less anxious, and that's saying something.
Here's a little story… I accidentally dropped my phone in the pool (more on the pool later). When I got it back, the staff immediately offered to clean it with what I assume was professional-grade sanitizing stuff. They even looked genuinely concerned! It paid off, my phone is still alive!
What to actually do There – Beyond the Bed
Okay, the obvious: This place is all about the swimming pool [outdoor]. It’s a pool with a view! Seriously, they have a serious view. It's gorgeous. And guess what? There’s even a Pool with view. (Yeah, it bears repeating). I could easily spend an entire day lounging by that pool. Add a poolside bar, and you've got a recipe for serious relaxation.
They also have a gym/fitness center, I never went. I always intend to, but… the pool. The spa sounds nice, but a little cliché.
The Rooms – Let's Talk Suite-Life
We're talking Oceanfront Pool & Bathtub Suite (2BR), remember? This is where the "BEST View" bit kicks in. The tub situation in this suite is legendary. You're basically bathing with a postcard view. It's one of the reasons I picked this place, and I loved it!
Let's be honest, it wasn't perfect. The decor felt a little… generic at times, and I'm pretty sure I saw a dust bunny or two. Still, the air conditioning worked a treat.
- Amenities, amenities, amenities! Air conditioning is important- check. Alarm clock - check. Bathrobes - check. Bathtub - check! Blackout curtains and a coffee maker is always a win, and they had them! I also appreciated the free bottled water. There's also a fridge, hairdryer, in-room safe box, internet access (both wireless and LAN), iron, and a great seating area. They covered all the basics.
- Additional things: There is the inclusion of bathrobes and slippers, which are an excellent touch. The rooms have safe boxes, which provide peace of mind. In addition, the bathrooms have separate showers and bathtubs, adding to the luxury of the experience.
Dining - Fueling the Fun (and the Hunger)
So, let's talk food. The restaurants offer all sorts of options. They had Asian and Western cuisine in restaurant, also they are open to alternative meal arrangement, and even breakfast in room available. The coffee shop was OK. The bar was pretty decent. There's even a Desserts in restaurant spot. The poolside bar was my favorite.
The buffet in restaurant was alright, but honestly, I was more interested in the a la carte menu. Lots of variety, but don't expect Michelin-star perfection. The happy hour selection was decent, and I'm a sucker for a good deal. They also have room service 24-hours!
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Matter
They have all the usual suspects: concierge, daily housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, luggage storage, and even a currency exchange. They also have facilities for disabled guests. They offer contactless check-in/out, which is a big plus.
For the Kids
They offered a babysitting service and kids facilities, which is great if you're traveling with tiny humans.
Getting Around
Car park [free of charge]& Car park [on-site]. They also offer airport transfer, taxi service, and valet parking, but I didn't use any of them.
The Verdict and My Massive Conclusion
Malacca's BEST View: Oceanfront Pool & Bathtub Suite (2BR)!… Look, it's not perfect. It’s a little rough-around-the-edges, but it's charming! It's a little more real. The view IS breathtaking, the pool is the stuff of dreams, and the staff are friendly and helpful. It's not necessarily "luxury," but it's a damn good time.
The quirks? The imperfections? They're part of the charm.

Hanoi's BEST Hotel Room: Lake & City Views! (VIP or Standard)
Silverscape Scramble: A Messy Malacca Meander (B1701, Here We Come!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly-planned, sterile itinerary. This is my trip to Malacca, Malaysia, staying in the Silverscape Pool+SeaView Balcony Bathtub 2BR B1701. Expect chaos, expect questionable food choices, expect me to probably get lost. And expect a whole lotta feelings. Let's go!
Day 1: Arrival & Anticipated Bliss (Slightly Stunted)
Morning (ish) - The Great Airport Escape: Landed at KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport), finally! After a flight from who knows where, I was practically vibrating with exhaustion… and anticipation. Navigating immigration was a breeze, surprisingly. Thought I might get the full "tourist interrogation" treatment. Nope! Just a smile and a stamp. Victory! Then, the taxi. The guy’s driving was… spirited. Let's just say I clutched my bag the entire way, muttering prayers to the travel gods.
Afternoon - Silverscape Shenanigans (and Setbacks): Found the Silverscape. It's… shiny. Really shiny. Found the B1701! Key card swipe… nothing. Panic sets in. Okay, deep breaths. Tried again… still nothing. Dammit! Called reception, felt like a complete idiot. Turns out, I had the wrong building. Facepalm. Finally, got to the B1701. The view? Glorious. Seriously, the photos didn't do it justice. That SeaView! Breathtaking. The balcony beckoned. The bathtub… swoon. Side note: Seriously considering moving in. Forever.
- Impression: This place is worth the price of admission, even before actually enjoying the view.
- Quirk: I was convinced the whole complex was watching me as I finally got to my room.
Evening - Food Fumbles & First Bites: Okay, time to explore. But first… food. This is where the wheels REALLY started to fall off. Tried to find a highly-rated Nasi Lemak (Malaysian coconut rice dish) place. Got completely lost. Wandered around sweating, starving, and feeling like a lost puppy. Ended up in a random hawker centre, pointed at something that looked vaguely edible, and hoped for the best. It was, in a word, interesting. (Translation: I’ve had worse. And also, better.) Ate too fast, probably, as a result of hunger's power.
- Emotional Response: That first bite of Nasi Lemak was a symphony of flavors, although, the chili paste almost gave me an early hot flash.
- Quirky Observation: The vendor's cat was judging my chopstick skills. I felt seen.
Night - Balcony Bliss & Bedroom Blues: Back at the apartment, finally. Sat on the balcony, drink in hand (a questionable local brew, naturally), and stared at the sea with pure, unadulterated contentment. Seriously, this view is addictive. The ocean breeze was so refreshing. Watched the stars, felt ridiculously happy. Then, I went inside to go to sleep… until I realized I left the AC on full blast. The bedroom was close to Antarctica. Had to wrap myself with a comforter that felt like a marshmallow cloud. Woke up several times, from the cold.
Day 2: History, Hustle & Hotness (Maybe Not in that Order)
Morning - Jonker Street Jitters: Okay, today: History! Jonker Street, here I come! Heard it's amazing, a foodie paradise, and a historical landmark. I was ready! Armed with my camera and an empty stomach. Jonker Street: It was… crowded. Overwhelmingly so. The sheer volume of people! The smells! The vendors hawking everything from souvenirs to… well, who knows what. I felt a little lost, frankly.
Mid-morning - Food Frenzy (Round 2): Found a place selling chicken rice balls. Supposedly, a Malaccan must-try. Ate them. Ate more. Ate a lot of them. They were delicious. Kind of bland, but still great. Stuffed. Regretting my hawker centre experience the day before. The sheer variety of food stalls – gods be praised! A perfect combination of savoury and sweet, spicy and comforting.
- Anecdote: While chowing down on chicken rice balls, a street performer (a guy dressed as a pirate) started serenading me with a surprisingly decent rendition of "Sea Shanties". The entire encounter was absurd, and I loved every second of it.
- Quirky Observation: The number of people taking selfies with the historical buildings was almost as impressive as the buildings themselves.
Afternoon - Historical Hopping (and Heat Stroke): The historical sights were pretty great. St. Paul's Church, the Stadthuys, the Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum – all fascinating. But the heat! The humidity! I was DRENCHED. Seriously, I looked like I'd just run a marathon. Paused in the cool shade and had an ice-cold cendol (dessert) with pandan noodles and coconut milk. Life saver.
- Emotional Response: At one point, while standing in front of a historical Dutch building, I had a strong urge to suddenly love the Dutch.
- Messy Structure: The journey between historical sites was a sweaty blur, filled with a lot of water breaks and urgent bathroom needs.
Evening - Poolside Peace (and Potential Regret): Back at the Silverscape, finally! Jumped in the pool, the water felt like heaven. Sipped a drink, watched the sunset. Life was good. Maybe too good. Decided to reward myself with, like, a giant serving of Nasi Goreng (fried rice) for dinner. I feel amazing. I will be fine.
Day 3: Serenity Shattered (Briefly) & Departure Regret
Morning - Sleep Struggles: The Nasi Goreng was, in retrospect, maybe a tad too rewarding. Woke up feeling… stuffy. Had an extremely brief crisis of food regret. But the view from the balcony immediately fixed everything.
Morning (Again) - Last-minute Laundry: Decided I needed to attempt to wash some items. The washing machine in B1701 seems… intimidating. Managed to get it working after some trial and error, and one almost-disastrous overflow.
Afternoon - Goodbye, Silverscape (Tears May Occur): Packing up. The worst part. Already feeling pangs of sadness at the thought of leaving the B1701. The sea view, the bathtub, the general feeling of relaxation… I'm going to miss it all.
- Emotional Response: Seriously considering starting a campaign to get Silverscape to offer permanent residence.
- Rambling: Maybe if I accidentally-on-purpose “forgot” something, I can come back? Yeah… just a thought.
Afternoon (ish) - Final Food Fumble (at the Airport?): Taxi ride back to the airport. KLIA feels different – somehow, less intimidating. Decided to grab a quick meal before my flight. Another food stall, another (potential) culinary adventure. Actually, it was pretty good. (I think I was becoming fluent in "point and pray" cuisine!)
Evening - Departure & Dreaming: Goodbye, Malacca. Goodbye, B1701. I'm leaving, but honestly? I could be staying there forever. Looking back: I made mistakes. I overate. I got lost. But the beauty of the place, the people, the food… it all more than made up for the chaos.
- Opinionated Language: Malacca is awesome, and the Silverscape with its SeaView is the place to be!
- Honest & Human: I'm already plotting my return. Malaysia, I'll be back to see you again… probably with a much bigger appetite.
Malacca's BEST View: Oceanfront Pool & Bathtub Suite (2BR) - FAQ (with a bit of me)
1. Seriously, is the view actually as good as the pictures make it out to be?
Alright, the million-dollar question! The pictures are AMAZING, like, Instagram-influencer levels of gorgeous. And... yes. Mostly. BUT! Let me tell you, expectations management is KEY here. My first reaction walking in? Jaw. Dropped. The ocean stretched out forever, the infinity pool shimmered… it was breathtaking. Until... until I realized the building next door was also pretty tall. Perspective, people! Don't expect *complete* solitude. You might catch a glimpse of someone else enjoying THEIR balcony (which, in my case, made me feel slightly self-conscious about my messy hair and questionable swimwear choices.) But yeah, the view? Still fantastic. Especially at sunset. OMG, the sunsets. Worth the price of admission, practically.
2. What exactly is *in* the "Bathtub Suite?"
This is where the "luxury" REALLY kicks in… or, ya know, should. The bathtub itself? HUGE. Like, movie-star bathtub HUGE. Enough room for, well, you and maybe a small elephant (not recommended, obviously). Picture yourself: Bubbles, a glass of something bubbly, perhaps a book (I *tried* reading, but, you know... distractions). The *idea* is pure bliss. The reality? My first attempt to fill the tub... the hot water was a bit… dodgy. Took FOREVER to heat up, and then it ran cold halfway through. Minor issue, yes, but hey, I wanted a HOT soak! Eventually, good, but I was grumpy for a bit. Also, the bathroom itself is gorgeous, sleek, and modern. But watch out for slippery floors! Learned that the hard way (let's just say graceful exits were not my forte that day). And the bath products… they're nice, but don't expect Aesop or some super-fancy brand. Good enough. But definitely bring your own if you're a self-confessed luxury snob like me.
3. And the pool? Is it as amazing as it looks? Is it private?
Ah, the pool. This is where it all comes together. The private infinity pool. The reason you book this place, right? YES. It’s mostly amazing. It's private. The photos? They *nailed* it. You feel like you're floating on top of the world (or at least the Malacca Strait). The infinity edge is just perfect, and the water temperature was heavenly. I spent HOURS in that pool. Literally. I’m pretty sure prune-like fingers are the hallmark of a successful pool experience. My biggest issue? The wind. It can get crazy. Blowing leaves, and (once) a rogue plastic bag, into the pool. Not ideal. And you know how you dream of gracefully gliding into the pool? I kind of just belly-flopped in. Multiple times. But who cares?! It's your own private oasis! Just maybe keep a net handy for stray debris.
4. Is it kid-friendly?
Okay, this depends. There’s absolutely nothing *stopping* you from bringing your kids. The suite is big; there's space. The pool depth is good, and kids love pools. BUT I'm going to be honest: This isn't really a "kid-focused" place. It's more geared towards romance, relaxation, and escaping the chaos of the world. If you want to actually relax, and you have young children, you might rethink it. Constant supervision around the pool is a must. And the furniture? Probably not designed for sticky fingers and energetic kids. If your kids are chill, and you're willing to be in "strict parenting mode" the whole time, sure. If not? Maybe a less "luxury" (read: less stressful) option is better. I saw one family with kids there, and the mom looked... well, lets just say, she seemed to be missing the "relaxation" part.
5. How easy is it to get around to the touristy bits of Melaka?
The location is good, not amazing. The suite is on the coast, so you're not *right* in the historical center. You'll need a taxi, Grab, or a rental car. Grabs are readily available and relatively inexpensive. Give yourself some time to get places, though. Peak hour traffic in Malacca can be a beast. Expect a 10-15 minute ride to get to the main attractions (Jonker Street, Stadthuys, etc.) – more during rush hour. It's not a deal-breaker, but, you know, plan accordingly. Oh, and parking? It can be a nightmare in the city center. Another reason to grab a Grab. I learned this the hard way, spending an hour circling the Red Square looking for a spot. Not fun.
6. Any specific things I should pack? Besides the obvious?
Okay, besides the usual swimsuit, sunscreen, and a killer playlist? Here's what I'd recommend, from my experience: * **A good book, or a REALLY engrossing Netflix series.* You'll want to spend time in that tub/by the pool. * **Your own bath bomb.** Not only are the bubbles nice, but they help deal with any dodgy water issues * **A portable speaker.** For tunes by the pool. * **Bug spray.** Especially during the evenings. Mosquitoes are relentless. * **Flip-flops.** Stylish? No. Essential? Absolutely. * **A power bank.** You'll be taking a zillion photos, trust me, the battery will drain fast. * **Snacks!** While there are restaurants nearby (and the hotel does offer some), it's nice to have your own stash for late-night cravings. * **A sense of humor.** Because things *will* go wrong somewhere. And you'll need to laugh about it.
7. So, is it worth the splurge?
