Malaysian Hotels' Promotions

Stay at the Century Pines Resort in Cameron Highlands from as low as RM178 nett with complimentary breakfast for 2 persons and complimentary use of sporting and recreational activities. This promotion is ongoing at this point of writing.

The Century Pines Resort is located at Tanah Rata, which is where most of the activities in Cameron Highlands are centred. With its strategic location in Tanah Rata, visitors can visit the nearby tea plantations, fruit and vegetable farms (get your freshly plucked strawberries here!), flower nurseries (most Malaysian flowers for the commercial market are grown here) or even head for a jungle trekking exercise. Don't forget to savour the famous steamboat meal at the nearby eateries.

With a height of approximately 2,000 meters at its highest point, Cameron Highlands offers a pleasant climate with daytime temperatures averaging around 25°C and 18°C at night. This is a resort which is indeed suitable for families and couples.

I miss Kinabalu Park. I used to stay in Kota Kinabalu in the years 1982 and 1983 with my last visit in 2003 and I had fond memories of family trips up to Kinabalu Park. Kinabalu Park is located about 1,500 metres above sea level and is the starting point for those intending to climb Mount Kinabalu, one of the highest mountains in South East Asia. At the park, however, visitors get to enjoy cooling temperature of between 13 to 20 degrees whilst feasting their eyes on the flora and fauna. There are trails to follow or just simply take a stroll and breath the fresh mountain air.



There are many types of accomodation available ranging from hostels to chalets to hotels. We used to stay in the chalets in the picture immediately above which come with a fireplace and I fondly remember my excitedness with going to collect some firewood conveniently placed in a basket outside the chalet to be used as fuel for our fireplace. The older men would gather round the table for a round of poker whilst the whilst the womenfolk would cook up a storm in the kitchen. Having a steaming piece of bread dunked in chicken curry at that kind of weather in front of the fireplace is an experience never to be forgotten.

Kinabalu Park is well-connected by a road and approximately 2 hours' ride from Kota Kinabalu. For those interested in climbing up Mount Kinabalu (for which a certificate of achievement will be given by the authorities), a permit will be required from Sabah Parks.

Visit Sutera Sanctuary Lodges for more details on accomodation rates which start from RM46 nett per person.

I have always liked travelling to Cameron Highlands...the famed vegetable and flower farm of Malaysia. It is also where the famous Boh Tea plantation is located. Yet, despite my trips there so far, I have not stayed overnight. I haven't figured out why but I guess it is because those trips were more of a "tagging with parents" trip rather than my individual trip up there.

I have heard much about the Equatorial Cameron Highlands, which is touted by many as the best hotel up there on the highlands. Perched at 1,628 meters above sea level, surrounded by majestic mountains and gentle undulating valleys, Equatorial Cameron Highlands is the only resort situated at the highest accessible point of highlands.

Spread over 13 acres, the Tudor styled resort offers 240 attractive, self-contained low rise apartment suites and 270 superior rooms and suites in the hotel tower that offer breathtaking views of the highland landscapes.

The Resort is famously known for its capability in hosting events from company incentive trips to conventions and seminars. Besides the Resort's extensive recreational facilities and vast grounds, where telematches and scavenger hunts can be carried out; the Resort will also arrange trips to the "Orang Asli" settlement.

Currently, the hotel is running its Giveaway Deals from RM188++ wherein you will be given a Food & Beverage Credit worth RM88 for you to spend at the hotel's food and beverage outlets. That's a good deal considering that Equatorial Hotel's food and beverage outlets have always been known to dish out good food (or at least, that's what I experienced in Equatorial Hotel Kuala Lumpur as well as Equatorial Hotel Bangi).
