1998: MALACCA PARADISE VILLAGE, AYER KEROH, MELAKA
Also known as Paradise Malacca Village Resort was a popular destination for family vacations in the late 1990s. It was situated in Ayer Keroh, conveniently near a vibrant tapestry of attractions, including the Melaka Zoo, Mini Malaysia & ASEAN Cultural Park and Ayer Keroh Lake, making it an ideal base for families exploring the area. My family and I stayed at this resort in 1998 on a family vacation.
Unfortunately, this resort in now closed and has been abandoned for more than 20 years. Some visitors describing it as a spooky or haunted due to briken furniture and overgrown areas.
