Strawberry Park Resort, Cameron Highlands

Altogether a very satisfying stay at Strawberry Resort Hotel. All staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. The buffet breakfast had a nice wide selection of choices but only grouse is of few flies landing on uncovered food. Serving staff were attentive altho very busy during full house. Instead of paying RM20 to take a taxi to town, walking to town at a leisurely pace took us an hour but was nice as we took pictures of nature along the way and got interesting shots of crickets rubbing wings to make buzzing sound at night, a pair of mating centipedes! spiders, we even caught a glimpse of an eagle perched in a tree in the forest from the roadside! perhaps the same one we saw flying high in the sky as we were having breakfast at the verandah at the coffeehouse in the morning and got a nice pic of. The folks in town were also friendly and food was good and prices good value for money at some outlets and reasonable only at others. A must try is the charcoal steamboat in town at RM15 at almost all the restaurants serving it, a big surprise was organic steamboat! We had a nice relaxing stay at the hotel and think we got value for money for the price we paid. We will definitely stay at this hotel on our next visit, we liked the open balcony and the charming lovely architecture of the hotel, that gave it more of a homely apartment feel than a commercial hotel, which added to the comfortable stay.

Strawberry Park is a large complex with five or six buildings, each building being four floors high and housing many rooms. Our room was a mini apartment, with a sitting room, table and chairs, and the space was good. It got a little chilly in the evenings and there was no heating, but they did provide extra blankets and if you wrapped yourself in one of those you could keep warm. Unfortunately the kettle they provided would not fit under the tap in the sink, so it had to filled from the bath or by ladling water from the glasses provided. The grounds were very pleasant but the steps from the restaurant area to the fourth floor of our building (96 altogether) were a bit of a trial. The resort is a bit isolated and although they run tour buses, your own transportation is better.

Strawberry Park has a beautifull view, very friendly staff and large rooms. Very good value for money
