Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Secluded Sanctuary For Introverts

 Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Introvert's Perfect Sanctuary

Picture credit: https://strawberryparkresorts.com/

I'm always on the hunt for an introvert's getaway.

As you can probably tell, I love misty mountain retreats. The tranquility, cool crisp air, breathtaking view, the seclusion are just 😍 perfect for introverting.

I chanced upon Strawberry Park Resort while staying at SunLight Suite during my last trip to Cameron Highlands. 

I was admiring the night view from Sunlight Suite's compound when I saw a well-lit area on the adjacent hill and remembered thinking to myself

"Hmm, that looks like an expensive place....but I gotta check it out!"

As it turns out, it wasn't that expensive considering the comfort, the facilities, and the invigorating environment. 

Hotel Booking

I booked through Agoda for a 3-day 2 nights stay, without breakfast for RM720+.

Before my trip, I emailed the resort for booking confirmation, coz you know how sometimes Agoda tends to mess up your booking, and the resort replied almost immediately. 

⭐⭐⭐ for customer service!

Welcome to Strawberry Park Resort!


The luxurious resort is nestled among lush jungles and mountain ranges and has been around for quite some time. 

Just like Sunlight Suite, it's few minutes drive away from Tanah Rata & Brinchang town but secluded enough to escape from Cameron's crazy traffic.

It's like you're in Cameron Highlands but not in Cameron Highlands. Do you get me?
Please enjoy my all senget pictures

Check-in was a breeze, the lobby has a nice old-English feel to it. While some people say it's old and tired, I love the quaint, old resort feel. But let me tell you, the resort is well-maintained. 

Although the landscape is not as immaculate as Sunlight Suite, Strawberry Park's has its own charm.

If you're driving, there's plenty of open space parking.
Felt like I was in an ang moh country neighbourhood


Good morning beautiful!

The Rooms

Wooden flooring😍

The rooms are newly refurbished. It felt fresh and clean and so much more spacious than most hotel rooms. The beddings are comfy, pillows are fluffy. It's like sleeping on a cloud. 

The best thing about the rooms? They all have a half-circle balcony with sitting areas where you can just sit, read and soak in the ambiance. 


Don't get me started on the bathrooms. It was modern, and more spacious than my apartment room 😭

This hand towel holder is such a nice touch

The water pressure is strong, even when you're using hot water which is an absolute necessity in cold places like Cameron. 

Room Facilities

  • TV - small, pretty dated looking with not many channels but hey, you don't come to Cameron to watch TV right? 
  • Tea & Coffee making facility
  • Small fridge
  • Wardrobe/ storage space
  • Hair dryer
The rooms are not air-conditioned, as most places in Cameron are since the air is cooler but the weather nowadays is HOT. If there's one thing to improve about the room, is to have a fan installed because it gets stuffy at times, especially in the afternoon.

Room Tips: The rooms are in a few blocks with 4 levels. There's no lift. If you're traveling with kids/seniors, request for units on the low floor. 

What To Do In Strawberry Park Resort?

Right after we checked in, it started to rain. We quickly bancuh our coffee, took out biscuits and snacks we bought in Brinchang, sat on the balcony, and just admire the falling rain.

Ahhh such a wonderful life to just be in the moment. Just rain, mist, and cool air. It was so quiet and serene. 

In the evening, we went for a walk around the resort compound, admiring the lovely landscaping, especially at night they have these string lights on tall pine trees, it felt like Christmas!

The Deck is the entrance to their in-house Spa but it's closed till further notice though

Komorebi - a beautiful and poetic term that describes the dappled or filtered sunlight that shines through the leaves of trees


If you're traveling with kids, there's a small children's playground too.

And later at night, we drove out for dinner at this steamboat place really close to the resort, M Cafe Steamboat & Grill

We pretty much did the same thing for 3 days. Sit on the balcony, drink some coffee, catch up on some reading, taking naps, went for morning & evening walks. 

Believe me or not, most guests were like that too. hahaha! It was so quiet at the resort you would think that it was empty but there were guests around. Probably holed up in their rooms too. 

It's like this place is an introvert magnet. 

We only went out to nearby town for food and did not go to any tourist attractions to avoid getting caught in Cameron's nightmare traffic. Plus, this is like my zillionth time in Cameron 😅

But if you're looking for things to do, there's a heated indoor swimming pool and gym and the resort does offer tour packages/activities that you can sign up for. 

Food & Beverage Options

If you're lazy to drive out, there are a few in-house dining options you can choose from. 

There's a steamboat dinner package and their hi-tea set for two deals (RM70 for 2 people) is pretty tempting too. We were not scones-person so we gave it a miss.

As An Introvert, Would I Re-visit?

Heck YES!

But if you can, avoid school holidays or peak season for tourists. 

Compared to Sunlight Suites, Strawberry Park is more established in the tourism industry so it tends to attract big tour groups. During my stay, there were a few tourist vans coming and going. 

My room is facing the lobby and because it was so quiet and devoid of white noises, I can hear clearly car doors shutting, engines running, and conversations going on. 

It is probably better to request a jungle-facing room.

But all in all, I would definitely come back to recharge, relax & rejuvenate.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh?

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak?

Otot Lagi Berat Daripada Lemak? Pernah tak korang hadapi situasi macam ni. Bersenam dah all out, membanting tulang dan tenaga di gym. Dalam semangat nak lose weight tu, timbang diri setiap jam, setiap hari! Disebabkan dah berabis workout dan mengamalkan diet rumput rumpai, korang pun expect berat turun kan? Tiba-tiba bila naik atas penimbang tu, berat tak turun pun. Maintain je. Kadang-kadang lagi teruk. BERAT NAIK PULAK!! Bila terjadi perkara macam ni, korang pun berjalan perlahan-lahan ke sudut bilik, dan mengerekot di dalam bilik yang gelap sambil mengenang nasib. Sangat mematahkan semangat, berkecamuk jiwa dan raga. I know. I've been there. CPPS pun pernah mengalami perkara yang sama Workout dah betul, diet pula calorie deficit. You have done everything right but your weight INCREASED! Rasa nak putus asa dan minum racun rumpai. Kemudian ahli keluarga, PT atau kakak cleaner gym dengan penuh rasa kasihan cuba memujuk. "Hey! don't worry. You are gainin...

Bikinication: Project Phuket Part 2

In case you have not read the part 1, click HERE .  So on the 3rd day we went island hopping to Phi Phi Island where the movie "The Beach" featuring Leonardo Dicaprio was filmed.  Bought the package while wandering around Patong Beach but you can get these island hopping packages anywhere in Phuket.  Like many other things in Phuket, you have to bargain. We got our package for 1050 Baht/pax which included transport to and fro hotel, lunch and refreshments, snorkeling equipment and covers Maya Bay (where the filming was), Loh Samah Bay, Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, Monkey Beach and Khai Nok Island.  We only stop and got down the boat at Maya Bay, another lagoon i don't know what's the name for snorkeling, Phi Phi Don for lunch and Khai Nok Island.  They picked us up at 7.45am from the hotel and all of us gathered in a place for a briefing. There were 3 boats that day for all of us,  then departed to the jetty which was about 1...

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants.  I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date.  Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date.  1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression.  You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine.  No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour.  Use cologn...
