sufficient enuf

tourist attraction spots
- BOH tea plantation (bharat or sungai palas)
- Bee Farm
- Strawberry Farm
- Vege Farm
- Flower&Cactus Farm
- Kea Farm ( Pasar Pagi)
- Brinchang Pasar Malam
- Steamboat

stayed in rosa b4...it's a bit dirty and old .. bad management ler..but restaurant is all over within walking distance..
century pines is ok

how many ppl will be going?
actually i will recommend to stay in star regency
pasar malam is just at the entrance
all the restaurant are just 5 minutes walking distance away

equatorial 1 is a good deal with all the vouchers and rebates
but the food charges are rather on the high side

normally if i go to cameron with my gf i will stay in the hotel call rainbow hotel or kowloon hotel
both of them is quite ok compare to rosa
also there're not far from the pasar malam
(last time used to be in front of it... but shifted to the police station there already)

if a group of us then we'll opt for star regency

rainbow and kowloon are quite cheap
not exceeding 150 during weekends ( not too sure already.. was singled for quite a long time)
last few times i went i stayed in star regency and equatorial only

strawberry is good... very good atmosphere to stay with gf
but very pricey
300+ for a hotel room during weekends

hmm the best price that i found was like this
3d/2n at cameron, including breakfast, lunch and steamboat dinner..

rosa pasadena - rm295
strawberry park - rm415
equatorial - rm 455

please advice...
*
a very big gap between rosa and both the strawberry park and eq
mayb rosa will be a better choice here
cos if going to pasar malam
parking is a headache..
rosa is walking distance to pasar malam so no need to worry bout parking
and also it's situated in the town center

strawberry park and eq are both surround by forest and have good environment and atmoshphere
strawberry park is in the middle of forest
eq will have a good view of the kea farm

this is my knowledge about this 3 choices and final choice is up to u whether u wan to stay in town center or relax in the middle of plantations/forest

hotels in brinchang normally will be fully book during weekends/ public holidays
in fact all hotels/apartments/bungalows/guest houses are fully booked during the previos deeparaya holidays
its better to book earlier
cameron highlands residence always face electric and water shortage during those days laugh.gif they always says "dam the tourists" tongue.gif
