Two words to describe YTL Cameron Highlands Resort - RUSTIC CHARM.
Well rustic not in the sense of country or rugged but rustic in the sense of comfortable old world.
Examples are the working fire place in the library and the christmas trees which lines the courtyard. Enthralling!
The warmth of the fire place plus the live piano playing in the lobby is so soothing especially after you come back from a walk in Cameron Highlands weekend night market. Such a contrast.
For the avid photographers, there are so many nice angles in every nook and cranny of the resort.
My favourite part of the stay are listed below (in no particular order):-
1) the toiletries supplied
Though not directly from Crabtree & Evelyn but they are licensed from Crabtree & Evelyn's La Source range. Refreshing!!
2) the rooms
Rooms are limited in quantity (only 56 rooms) on 2 floors and all rooms faced the golf course so you are guaranteed a wonderful refreshing view from your balcony!

| Double bedroom |
 |
| Twin room |
3) the breakfast!
Amazing breakfast and I suspect it had to do with the "mat salleh" restaurant manager. Service was impeccable and the food fresh and tantalizing.
Bear in mind this is YTL so there is no usual breakfast buffet spread. Instead there is a menu and you place an for the food. Meaning you have to wait for the food to be cooked for you.

NOTE:-
a) there is no wifi in the bedrooms.. Only in the library area.
b) the christmas trees lights are only turned on during weekends and once a year, they changed the lights and when they do, they actually commemorate it with a special lighting event.
c) the hotel does offer complimentary mineral water... but on my arrival, I couldn't see it when I open the fridge.
So I drank the Evian instead cos I thought maybe luxury star hotel will offer luxury water... thankfully we only drank 1 bottle.
Later we found the complimentary bottles tucked on the upper part of the fridge... Sigh.. too late..

| You cannot see the water bottle right? |
 |
| Ah.. but when you bend down you can see it.. |
 |
| Drinks price list - RM14 for water??!!!! Ok it's not water.. it's Evian =D |
