Sunset Cruise @ Mines Resort City

If you are looking for something unique for your function, you could possibly try out the Sunset Cruise… in the middle of the City!! The Sunset Cruise is a concept developed by the Mines Resort City that lets you have a view of the lake while having a private romantic dinner. From the lake itself, you are able to view the sunset… well.. that’s why its called the sunset cruise. Obviously the timing needs to be right but they will let you know what is the best and the entire experience is roughly about an hour and a half.

A cool experience when I tried it was the Water Lift! the journey starts from the middle of the mall, then the boat proceeds to a ‘lift’ that is powered by water. The compartment starts to fill with water, roughly 60,000 gallons as I was told, then when we are at the right height… its off to the lake!

VenueMenu Recommendation for Weddings

For this particular setting, the venue is too small to hold a large wedding. But possibly good for a Proposal, an Anniversary dinner, or possibly a pre-Wedding get together.

Event Capacity: max 10 persons for pre-set 4-course Menu
Event Option: You would need to provide at least a day notice so that they can set the tables exactly to the no. of person your party will hold
Location Convenience: Mines City, easily accessible from KL or PJ. When the boat goes out to the lake, it’s a nice quiet setting
Halal/Non-Halal: Pork Free
Type of Cuisine: Italian/Fusion/Middle-Eastern/Japanese – set menu choices
Price Range*: $$

*price range is my personal rating system out of the overall venues that we have been to. It is a rating of between $ to $$$$$
