2-Star Hotels in Ringlet

Definitely enjoyed it immensely during the day but let's just say I came to greatly appreciate the comforts of modernity came nightfall haha.  It's fantastic to have all meals next to the waterfall and pretty amazing to slowly drift down the small river pool on a bamboo raft without it being a tourist 'activity'. Climb over rocks upstream to see small fish in a rock pool and incredible lush rainforest. Perfect to spend 2-3 nights here to have 1 full day for sights in Cameron Highlands and another just to relax. The 6㎡ 'double room' is a shared hut. The 10㎡ 'family room' is its own hut but also with a detached shared bathroom. The other 3 room types (15/18/25㎡) are all standalone huts with their own ensuite bathroom. We opted for the biggest ''superior chalet'' with its own hammock & detached covered private dining area right out just for the 2 of us even though there are 3 queen sized mattresses - pricey for a hut but it's meant for 6 people and each bed is encased in its own separate mosquito net so it's easier for midnight toilet trips. The whole hut vibrates if someone moves so get your own hut if you're a light sleeper - the 18㎡ one-bedroom chalet next to it is a few meters away. There are more huts higher up & on the other side of the bamboo bridge/river, pretty spread out on slopes. The area itself is much more attractive than Ringlet (and other towns) which is a 15-minute drive away... not exactly in the jungle but surrounded by nature - more like a campground with huts built in the traditional Orang Asli style, near a shallow river/waterfall with bamboo rafts you're free to use. Also volleyball net & basketball hoop on the grounds.   Paths to the huts are paved in concrete so no problem to have a suitcase - better to have something you can zip up because there are small creatures out and about here and there. Electricity & warm shower plus cell reception in some areas, weak/slow but works sometimes. This whole place accommodates 40 but only 6 guests here then just us since January is apparently their low season, busier in July/August. Being immersed in nature means mozzies/ants and more flying bugs especially after dusk past 7 at night - hut's off the ground but not sealed.  Okay in the rain, just a little loud/humid - rain dries up fast though. Not cold at night, 18 C and mid 20s during the day. Bed's really comfy & room can be brightly lit inside at night which attracts insects so best have something you can do on the mattress inside the mosquito net where you're 'safe' from too much nature ;) - would recommend keeping a bottle of water & cell phone flashlight inside the net.   Whole bathroom gets wet after you shower but dries fast & a couple of times there were ants on the toilet seat when there was heavy rain.  Bring your own toiletries/bug spray & an adapter if you don't have Type G plugs. If the sounds of nature might bother you, prepare earplugs.   Basically, don't expect a hotel room - it's more like camping/glamping,

Location wise, the hotel is situated at the mouth of Ringlet. It is a good 30min drive to shops and eateries so unless you are prepared to brave 30min (or more on a busy day) on windy roads upwards (and another 30min back to hotel therafter), you may have to think twice. It was becos of this factor, our family of 5 decided to just spend the entire day in the hotel. Food at the restaurant in the hotel was pretty decent. A Malaysian chicken curry rice will set you back RM60, so just to let you in on the prices. The hotel is well kept and the rooms are generally clean. I booked the family room and am impressed by its size, cleanliness. Sheets are clean and room is well-made. Like the simple touches added by the hotel, eg, towels are lightly rose scented, essential oil candle lamps in the rooms. Mattress was really comfortable and the husband enjoyed a good night's rest. Our room came with breakfast the next morning. Breakfast is semi-buffet- pick a main from menu, whilst cheeses, muffins and variety of staples are free flow. A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice is complimentary - that was the best perk me up for me. We were also pleasantly surprised that the hotel washed the guests' cars. Our car was refreshed and ready for the roads again after a night at the Lakehouse. Though the hotel wasn't my first choice initially but I might just wanna return again. Thank you Lakehouse for making a day's stay a memorable and comfortable one.
