#beachlife This was our first time in Forest City, so we had to take cycle around! It was only possible because our hotel provided free bicycle rental, on a super cute family bicycle. It was a bucket list check off, because these things are so expensive to rent in Singapore. After checking in we immediately went to cycle, there is a beach next to the hotel so it was a nice coastal area to be at, rather cooling since it just rained. There are a few photogenic spots there, such as a nice garden for beach wedding, a stairway to heaven and even a mini water theme park (more suitable for toddlers). If you love beach holidays and can't travel far, I think Forest City is a nice place to be at.

#hotelreview We loved the room at Forest City Marina Hotel. It was about 44m2 and all rooms faces the sea, you don’t even have to request for it. You will get it. The rooms comes with balcony where you can enjoy the sea breeze if you like. We got the twin room as it was a promotional package with free lunch or dinner, free breakfast and bicycle rental! A very good steal for you to spend a day in Forest City. Bathtub lovers would be delighted the rooms comes with them. If you don’t need shopping, I would really recommend you to come here for a gate away.

#triplocal Long weekend holiday to Johor with my mom. The room is lovely and we get to have our own balcony with a sea view :) #triplocal

#johorbahruhotels We spent a relaxing staycation at Forest City Marina Hotel in Johor Bahru, and it was exactly the breather we needed. Surrounded by greenery and ocean views, the place felt like a quiet escape away from the city rush. The lobby was bright and spacious, and the rooms were clean, cozy, and offered a view of the calm sea. One of our favorite parts was walking around the peaceful surroundings. The breeze was refreshing and the whole area felt safe and quiet, perfect for families or couples who just want to unwind. There's not a lot of crowd, which makes the stay even more calming. We didn’t need to go far to enjoy the day. Just staying in, enjoying the view, and having a slow breakfast felt special. Forest City Marina Hotel may be quiet, but that’s what makes it a hidden gem.

🏠 Accommodation 1.Forest City Marina Hotel We drove to Forest City from Genting Highlands on that day. We had a study group session with Legoland. It took us 20 mins to reach Legoland. The reason why we chose this hotel was because they offer breakfast, lunch or dinner option. The first night we chose dinner. Then, after we came back from Legoland, we had dinner at the hotel too. The choice was not bad. But I liked the lunch more than the dinner because it was so delicious! It was quite empty on the date we went. The purpose was just to attend the study session. We couldn’t find the time to visit the waterpark near the hotel. We will definitely come again to explore this part of Johor.

Located on the far west of Johor. It's not accessible unless you are driving. It's a pretty zen place with a scenic view of the coast. Amenities wise, there isn't much except for the water park which was quite run down. The swimming pool looks like it hasn't been cleaned and serviced for a long time and you can see the murky waters. Food wise was alright. Nothing fantastic. But if u want a quiet place to just zone out and rest, this would be an ideal place. JB is a fun getaway from SG. Things are cheaper over the crossway and you don't feel the pinch spending up north.#travel

A recent getaway to Forest City Marina Hotel offered a perfect blend of relaxation and fun, just a short drive across the Tuas Second Link from Singapore. The moment we arrived, we were greeted by lush greenery that surrounded the hotel, making it feel like a hidden paradise away from the bustling city. The first photo captures a serene corner of the resort, with palm trees swaying gently and a small hut overlooking the beach. It was an ideal spot for peaceful reflection, with the sound of the waves providing a calming background as we relaxed in nature. The second photo highlights the main attraction for the kids—the massive swimming pool. They spent hours splashing around, laughing, and riding on a colorful inflatable in the expansive blue water. The hotel’s modern architecture, with its sweeping curves and lush plant-filled balconies, made the experience even more enjoyable. The pool area was well-designed, offering both shade and sun, and the kids couldn’t get enough of it. It was a joy to watch them bond and create memories that will last a lifetime. The final photo offers a panoramic view from the hotel, showcasing the towering residential buildings that line the coast, surrounded by a mix of green landscapes and the blue sea. The contrast between the urban skyline and the natural scenery was striking, reminding us how close we were to the conveniences of city life while enjoying the tranquility of a seaside retreat. Overall, our stay at Forest City Marina Hotel was a refreshing escape, filled with moments of joy and serenity. It was a perfect spot for the family to unwind and reconnect, leaving us with cherished memories and a renewed sense of energy. #100WaysOfTravel

Johor great experience 🫶🏻

Always a city girl who loves shopping for cute things, I surprised myself by falling for the chill vibe of a beach trip my family wanted. Now, I'm hooked and planning my next beach getaway!

#hotelreview I stayed in Forest City Marina Hotel which I believe was formally Phoenix Hotel. So don’t be confused when you arrive as they have not remove the signage on the top of the building. We managed to get a grab car in but it might be harder to get out as most of the people here are locals. The hotel has a huge lobby and two pools. They have close one currently. All their rooms faces the sea. It’s surrounded by sea and manmade nature. Perfect for people looking for a beach gateway but do not have enough time to travel far.

Wonderful scene surrounding Forest City Marina Hotel. Full of Flora and Fauna, white beach, breeze air and blue sea of Selat Tebrau. What best is not many people around and we feel so enjoyable walking around. The parking are spacious and full of trees as if we are in a true forest city. Going to repeat our trip again for multiple times in future.#forestcity #johor

Booked a stay with Forest City Marina during New Year’s Eve countdown. Was impressed with the view from the room balcony. There are convenience stalls and marts around Forest City. However, as it is far away from city centre, it may get quite difficult to get food delivery services after 7pm. Would recommend couples and families for a staycation here as it is a peaceful and quiet area.

A very calming hotel with great customer service support, nice scenery and a very quiet place for those who prefer to have family time together although this place is more for golfer. The moment you enter the hotel, the smell of the whole hotel just freshen you up with a good vibe. Price is definitely worth the stay for one night, especially those who have small kids.

You’ll should go !!#forestcity #johorbahru
