Hotel Casa de la Rosa

Dear all,

Our hotel for the Cameron Highland trip is confirmed as follows:

Casa de la Rosa
Lot 48, Jalan Circular,
39000 Tanah Rata,
Cameron Highland,
Pahang Darul Makmur
(05) 4911 333
http://www.hotelcasadelarosa.com.my/facilities.htm

Check-in: 17th May 2008 (Saturday)
Check-out: 19th May 2008 (Monday)
Rate: RM 680 nett per night(inclusive of 4 breakfast)

The room we're taking:
FAMILY QUAD ROOM

Our Family Quad Room comes with both the Garden and the Golf View. The rooms are located on the first floor. The Family Quad room comes with 1 King Size Bed and 2 Single Bed. This room is big enough to accommodate an extra bed. With the extra bed the Family Quad rooms comfortably accommodates 5 adults. All rooms come with carpet.

Hotel Facilities:
- Sauna
- Jogging trail
- Golf course (nearby)
- Driving range (nearby)

(Sorry ZS and Chris, no tennis/squash courts! But care to go to the driving range? :D)

Note:
Since the room is only for 4 people, and we've like 6-7 people, of course, we've to be a little discreet when checking in. :P Don't want the extra charges eh! Also, if possible, can some bring their own towels (so that we don't request for more than 4 towels and get caught :P).

Breakfast is for 4, so maybe we can take turns on different days to eat it. But a better alternative may be to go to town and have a good breakfast! YUM! Or.. we can buy some stuff back and have our own breakfast. All options are cool with me.

I think that's about it? Cheers!

Which room?

The train timing is way off...so we shall take the 10pm coach frm larkin to KL...ok with u all?

Which room u all prefer leh?

THANK YOU PENG WOO!

Yes yes, i agree with Sze wei, Thanks peng woo! Well, if you guys prefer non-Cameron Highlands, the other options are:

1) Genting - Frankly, i think it's too late to book now. Sure packed already becoz it's a holiday.

2) Slack in KL - Also can, but you guys would have to squeeze in my condo with no mattress/blankets/air-con. If you can bring a sleeping bag, i think it'll be fine. :P We can go err.. on a.. errr.. KL/PJ tour? (zzzzzzzz.. )

3) BALI! (too late now i guess..haha)

4) Pulau Redang! (rainy season.. so doesn't make that much sense.. haha)

And if you guys really don't want cameron highlands, you better voice ur opinions out! Speak now or forever hold your peace! :D

Yarh, either you guys come friday night or saturday morning is fine with me. If friday night, can stay at my place. If sat, i'll meet you all at puduraya bus station and take a bus to cameron highlands? (It's the only way to get there? I think?)

Also, the strawberry farm place looks pretty nice! :) We can take it as a relaxing trip to Cameron highlands? Woo hooo! Slack our asses off! And play squash/ tennis whole day! (w/o the big sun!!! ALL THE BETTER!)

Strawberry park looks nice!

I have a question though: if we are taking train up to KL on friday night, we will be spending the night on the train and most likely reach KL on Saturday morning. If that's the case, is there time to spend friday night at Sookfen's place?

If we can't fit to the train timing, I don't mind taking a coach, but a reputable one, like Konsortium or Transnational. They are safer I guess. I can't sleep the whole night when we took the bus up to Terengganu because the bus driver was doing an initial D.

Are we all fine with Cameron Highlands? The guys (minus Chris) were grumbling about nothing to do on Cameron Highlands? If anyone is interested in some other places, maybe we should voice out earlier so that we can make bookings earlier.

But thanks to Pengwoo for taking the effort to source out all these!

CAMERON HIGHLANDS DETAILS

Confirmed attendace:

  1. szewei
  2. sookfen
  3. Huiling
  4. me
  5. ZS
  6. Chris
  7. pk

after looking through the accommodation,i would recommend Strawberry park resort becos it has the most facilities:

The Shasta 3 bedrooms apartment(6 persons) looks nice :)

Wat u all think?

We take a train frm JB to Kl central on friday nite,sookfen will pick us up and we will stay over at her hse on friday,sat we have nice dimsum b4 taking bus to cameron highlands :)


Kurnia Bistari Express - 016-3033330 (Counter 87 Puduraya) from KL -cameron
Super VIP coach - 8:30am, 12:30pm, 1:30pm
Normal coach - 9:30am, 10:30am, 11:30am, 2:30pm, 3:30pm

The main concern is i am not sure if friday is too rush for the working ppl,if it is then we will head off on Sat morning.

train timings:

Haiz...call KTM so many times no one pick up..will confirm again...either we take friday nite or sat morning...if train takes very long time we will just take the express bus.
