Exquisite sunrise, great for unwinding
We stayed in the main highrise building, in the deluxe rooms on the 12th floor. Definitely worth the extra money because the view was superb! We woke up and watch the surreal sunrise. The balcony was nice as it allows you to step out and enjoy the fresh air. The rooms and the bathroom were clean. The tub showed some sign of age but it was clean. The management should upgrade their amenities. The water of the indoor pool was warm and uncrowded (we stayed during the weekday). No hot tub or suana. I was visiting from Washington, DC and found the temperature pleasant, not cold at all. Enjoyed the quietness of the surrounding - a wonderful place to relax and unwind - away from the traffic jam and heat of Kuala Lumpur.
Although the rates were high compared which what you can get in KL for 5 stars hotels, but then this is a getaway resort town so I was not shocked. Same thing in the States, you pay more at resort areas lodgings than in the big cities. The hotel is a convenient walk from the morning markets, the strawberry farm. We had a car and so we drove to the tea plantation, many nurseries, and to Tanah Rata for meals. Food was good and cheap. Did not eat at the hotel which was expensive by Malaysian standards.
I really like this hotel. The only drawback was its garage - there were too many birds living in there and it smell pretty bad.
