Light sleepers, beware. I could not sleep more than a couple of hours each of the two nights that I was there in early Jun recently.
The Resort sits right next to the only and heavily used highway through Cameron Highlands. Traffic noise had kept me awake past 3 am, and woke me again at 5 am.
Admittedly, it might have also been the acoustics and angle/facing of the room that I heard every motorcycle, car, van and truck passing by vividly, as if I was lying right on the pavement. The ear plugs the Resort provided in the room as standard equipment did not help at all.
The low rating is given mainly because the Resort failed to provide the sanctuary I expected, the home away from home where I could relax and be rejuvenated after the day's activities.
And for more than USD300 a night, the room also offered no satellite tv, cable channels, comfortable beddings, or even pleasant-smelling linens.
There are newer and better options in the vicinity, truly.
Perhaps it is more refreshing to enjoy the Resort's history, its old English charm, and the great service of its staff with say, a visit for high tea. Just stay one night for the experience, if you must.
