Johor Bahru's BEST Kept Secret? R&F Princess Cove Premium Suite Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea on Johor Bahru's BEST Kept Secret: R&F Princess Cove Premium Suite Awaits! – and let me tell you, it ain't always sunshine and rainbows. But hey, that's life, right? And this place… well, this place is something alright. It's a mixed bag, lemme be real. But the potential? Oh, the potential is there.
First Impressions – The Good, the Bad, and the Border Crossing Blues
Okay, so getting there. Accessibility? Mmm, kinda depends. You're right on the edge of the causeway, which is fantastic if you're coming from Singapore (assuming that border crossing isn't a total nightmare that day – and it often is, let's be honest). Public transport? I’d say you'll be needing a taxi or grab, since you're a tad out of the immediate city center. They do offer airport transfers, which, after a red-eye flight, is a godsend. They also got free parking, so that's a plus. But I will say, finding the entrance initially… that could be better. It’s like, "Is this it? Are we sure?"
The Suite Life (Mostly)
Let's talk rooms. The "Premium Suite" promise? Yeah, it delivers… mostly. The space! Oh, the space is amazing! It's like having a whole apartment to yourself. Got ALL the things: Air conditioning, blackout curtains (essential for sleeping off that jet lag!), comfy beds, and a killer view (depending on your floor and what side you're on. Get high up, trust me). Free Wi-Fi in all areas? Check. Internet access is good, especially since all rooms have a free LAN (just in case the wireless goes kaput). And the desk? Perfect for pretending you're working when you're really just… you know… scrolling.
Now, the not-so-perfect stuff. One time, the alarm clock was way off. I woke up at some ungodly hour, heart pounding, thinking it was a zombie apocalypse. Totally messed up my breakfast plans. And the decor… let's just call it… "eclectic." Some bits are super luxurious, others… less so. A few scuffs here and there. But hey, it's lived in, right? They provide things like mini-bar, fridge, and even a safety/security feature in the form of a safe. All basic necessities and more!
Cleanliness and Safety – Trying Their Best
Alright, COVID era. They are definitely trying hard on this front. Hand sanitizer everywhere, daily disinfection of common areas… the works. Room sanitization opt-out? Available. They also provided individual-wrapped food options and a lot of staff training. They have security features and fire extinguishers on the property that is always great to see and feel safe. However, I did have a slight heart-attack (and a cough that day) when I saw ONE person without a mask on. Maybe that’s a good thing?
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – A Culinary Adventure (of Sorts)
The food scene… hmm. Restaurants on-site? Yes. A bar, a coffee shop, and restaurants that do buffet service. But here's where it gets interesting. The Asian breakfast buffet? Hit or miss. Sometimes amazing, with all the classic Malaysian fare (nasi lemak, roti canai, the works!) Other times… well, let’s just say they could do with a bit more seasoning. International cuisine is also an option, but I wouldn't expect anything Michelin-star worthy. Room service? 24-hour, thank goodness! Because sometimes, after a hard day of… well, whatever you do on vacation… you just need a burger and fries in your pajamas. Poolside bar? Solid for cocktails, especially at happy hour. You also have some restaurant options.
Relaxation and Rejuvenation – Spa-tastic (Maybe)
Okay, the spa is a definite highlight. They have a nice pool with a view - great for Instagram! The gym is, as you’d expect, a gym. They have a fitness center, sauna, and steamroom - well equipped! Massage? Yes, and it was pretty darn good! I got a body scrub. And… let’s just say, after that, I floated out of there like a cloud. Ah, bliss! They also have a lovely pool.
Services and Conveniences – A Mixed Bag
The staff is generally helpful and friendly. Concierge service is there, which is nice. But sometimes, things take a while. Need an iron? Might take 30 minutes. Laundry? A bit pricey. But hey, they've got a convenience store for those late-night snack cravings. They also offer facilities for the disabled which I’m glad to see.
Also I have to mention, the elevator! I needed it to reach my suite and it also got me down to all the nice stuff!
For the Kids – Family Friendly?
I didn’t have kids with me during my stay, but I noticed there's a babysitting service, kids facilities, and kids meals are available too. So, it seems like they're trying to cater to families.
Accessibility – A Few Caveats
While they list facilities for disabled guests, I didn't delve deeply into the full accessibility (such as wheelchair accessibility details). Best to contact them.
Getting Around – Your Transportation Options
They offer airport transfer and taxi service. But the car park [free of charge] is the best option for getting around.

Orlando's BEST 4-Bed, 3-Bath Condo Escape: Storey Lake Luxury Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into my (slightly chaotic, but hopefully hilarious) adventure in the R&F Princess Cove Premium Suite in Johor Bahru! This isn't your glossy, perfectly-staged Instagram itinerary. This is the real, unfiltered, "did I remember to pack my toothbrush?" kind of travel.
R&F Princess Cove: A Johor Bahru Romp – The Unfiltered Edition
Day 1: Arrival, A Room With a View (and Maybe a Cat)
Morning (or What Passes for Morning After a Delayed Flight): Landed in Singapore. Chasing that little green customs card and that feeling of "am I in the right country?" felt like a marathon. The Causeway is my personal Everest. The bus? Let's just say it involved questionable air conditioning and the existential dread of sitting next to a stranger who's brought their entire life on board.
Mid-Day: Arrival & OMG the Suite! Finally, FINALLY made it to R&F Princess Cove. The security guards looked like they'd seen it all (probably true, judging by the way I stumbled out of that bus). Entered the suite. Woah!! Forget the airport stress, this place is HUGE. Like, "could I actually get lost in here?" huge. The view… Okay, picture this: vast glistening blue of the Sea, a whole city buzzing below, and a balcony calling my name. I swear, I could live on that balcony alone.
- Observation: The suite might have been slightly more luxurious than my usual "hostel with questionable plumbing" accommodations. I felt like a queen, or at least a very pampered house cat, surveying my kingdom.
Afternoon: The Great Exploration (Mostly of the Fridge) After all that travel, the only thing on my mind was a snack. I stumbled around the suite for about 15 min before locating the fridge. The fridge was a treasure trove. I proceeded to empty the mini fridge, eating most of its contents.
- Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated joy. I might have actually squealed.
Late Afternoon/Evening: Poolside Peril and Dinner Dilemma: Tried the infinity pool. It's gorgeous, but I nearly tripped and face-planted. My grace isn’t my strong suit. Ended up relaxing on a sunbed. Ordered takeaway, was expecting a full meal, but something got lost in translation and I got the starters!
- Quirky observation: A little kid kept cannonballing into the pool near me, and I thought "This is gonna be my new life"
Night: Balcony Bliss and Midnight Musings: Sat on the balcony. The lights of the city twinkled below, and I felt a genuine sense of peace. Was this the good life? Probably. Stayed up too late, scrolling through TikTok.
Day 2: City Adventures (and Maybe Some Regret)
Morning: Breakfast, and the Quest for Caffeine: Breakfast buffet was decent. I devoured the Nasi Lemak. Seriously, SO GOOD. Then came the caffeine crisis. I was desperate for a decent coffee. Ended up wandering around the complex for an hour before finding a decent cafe.
Mid-morning: Shopping! (and the Fear of Overspending): Headed to a nearby mall. I swear, I don't need anything. But, a new dress. And another pair of shoes. And a whole bunch of things I wasn't even looking for. My wallet is weeping.
Afternoon: Lunch in the Heat (and the Search for Air Conditioning): Found a place that served amazing Laksa. Spicy, fragrant, and perfect. The heat, though… it got to me. Spent half the meal secretly wanting the air conditioning blasting right on me.
Late Afternoon/Evening: Cultural Immersion (and Getting Lost): Decided I was a cultured traveler, so I went exploring. Wandered into a local market. Found some spices that smelled amazing. Got completely lost in the narrow streets. Ended up asking a very friendly old man for directions. He barely spoke English, but his smile and the directions he gave me (which maybe weren’t that accurate) were priceless.
- Emotional Reaction: A mixture of exhilaration and mild panic. I love exploring, but getting lost is not always fun.
Night: Return to the Suite (and the Sweet Embrace of Air Conditioning): Back to the suite. This time I fell asleep on the couch with my phone. This place is incredible.
Day 3: Departure (and the Empty Promises of "I'll Be Back")
Morning: Last Breakfast and Final Reflections: Ate my last breakfast. A slightly melancholic feeling crept in. This trip was too short! I ate a lot of pastries, because, you know, regrets would be had.
Mid-day: The Great Pack-Up (and a Hunt for Belongings): Packing is my nemesis. I spent what felt like hours trying to find my phone charger. Found it, finally, tucked into a suitcase.
Afternoon: Farewell, Princess Cove! (and Singapore Arrival): The bus ride back. The familiar customs queues. The Singapore skyline fading into the distance. Goodbye, R&F Princess Cove! (For now, anyway…)
- Emotional Reaction: A bittersweet mix of exhaustion and contentment. I’m already planning my return!
Evening: Home Sweet Home (or, the Start of Laundry Hell): Back home. The laundry pile looms. But, hey, I have memories (and a suitcase full of souvenirs) to keep me warm.
So there you have it. My R&F Princess Cove adventure, in all its messy, glorious, and utterly human glory. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I do anything differently? Probably not. Except maybe learn some basic Malay phrases. And maybe, just maybe, resist the urge to buy ALL the things. Until next time, Johor Bahru! You were a blast.
