Bukit Tinggi Colmar Resort

(Pictures will be up later)

Well...since it's been awhile since i blogged. I thought i'd do a few in one shot...hahaha el cheapo that's moi`.

So anyways, last Labour Day, me and the family decided to go up to Bukit Tinggi and take a break. We decided on many places and were too ambitious so we ended up with Bukit Tinggi.

It looked good on the website and though there were questionable reviews on the place.
It seemed that the reviews were right....the place there is quite stagnant these days...tourist are the come once and thats the last time they'd go to Colmar ever again.

Accomodations :

The rented apartment ON the other hand was well worth the price. Approximately RM 440 ++ and has 2 rooms with King Size beds and 1 hall. There were 3 bathrooms so it was great not having to fight for rights though.

Food :

The hotel buffet was of more worth then eating at the other restaurants, BUT the biggest peeve was the fact that it was SO FREAKING hot i think hitting over 35'C and THERE WERE NO FREAKING FANS IN ANY OF THE RESTAURANTS. To top it off....some of the Restaurant's Kitchen had their doors open to add to the heat wave as its crazy hot in there. Who could blame the chefs and waiters ? I'd do the same thing....

You see...the food is crazy expensive, 5 pcs of bread/bun if you like, 2 Guava juice, 1 can of 100 plus, 1 mango juice and thats RM 70.00. Can you believe the price?

Mineral water is RM 4.00 per bottle, Soft drinks ? RM 7.00, Ice cream ? RM 2.00

Mad....

Activities :

Nothing much to see...the Rabbit farm was NOT open at 9.00 am even if there were shuttle services to the place.

The Japanese Gardens were beautifull and lush, however, full of people since its such a small place so it can get crowded and your photo shots would have other tourist in the background.

Botanical Gardens we could not make it coz we were expecting the last bus service so we decided to hop back home and rest.

Night time every one is practically room bound since the place is like a dead ghost town.

There was a show, called HOLLYWOOD SHOW???? Why the question mark? Because as my wife puts it, isn't this a french resort, where's the french culture the french feeling, all we get is a bollywood type of macarena mambo cross dressers running around lip synching to "You're Just Too Good To Be True....Can't Take My Eyes Of A You..."

So that was practically the day we had at Colmar Resort, Bukit Tinggi.

WE DID HOWEVER manage to get some pretty good photo shots, Fon my sister-in-law is getting better and better at using her camera to get those great photo angles for Natasha and Juliette.

All it all....it was a HOT but stress free day...hehehe
