Christmas 2011 @ Colmar Tropicale, Berjaya Hills (Malaysia)

This Christmas I wanted a short getaway. I heard about 'French Village' in Malaysia a couple years ago when my parents went there for a short holiday. So I decided and this was it! A couple of hours from the city to Berjaya Hills 'Colmar Tropicale' aka 'French Village' with my long time friend, Christina.

French Village in Malaysia

We were staying on the top floor of this building with good views of the hills.

Our Resort

Our Bedroom Window

I loved the fresh air rushing into our one bedroom suite. I think the best thing was the view and the air. Don't expect too much on the resort amenities.

When the night fell...

We were obliged to pay $100 for the Christmas Eve Gala Dinner, which was compulsory. Nevertheless, we hoped we will enjoy the night.

Gala Dinner At This Castle Ballroom

We were so famished as the dinner started after 9.30pm. So famished that we didn't take any pictures of our sumptous dinner. We had lots of meat; turkey, salmon, chicken, duck and some seafood. Plus lots of desserts!

How could we leave alcohol tonight?

Red Wine For Chris and White Wine For Myself

While having our dinner, we also enjoyed carol and hot dancers!

Do you know what is the best part of the Gala Dinner? We won $150 F&B vouchers from lucky draw and a quiz!

On the second day, we went sight seeing around French Village. We had complimentary tickets to visit the Rabbit Farm, Japanese Village and Botanical Garden.


Important To Note: Shuttle Bus Schedule to Sight Seeing Places
 
Our first place was the Japanese Village and the Botanical Garden.

While at the Botanical Garden, I heard monkeys voices. Have you heard them communicating before? No? Then listen to the clip below!

After that, we went to the Rabbit Farm which obviously, keep other animals as well...



This donkey was naughty... Can you see why? Scroll down...


Sticking It's Tongue At Me!
After our sight seeing, we went back to the French Village. This time, we pampered ourselves with manicure, pedicure and foot reflexology.

followed by our dinner at the French restaurant 'La Cigogne'...

Chris had Salmon, Prawns and Scallop
I had Seabass
 
The meals were rather expensive here and we were lucky that we won the F&B vouchers, which helped to pay for our fine dinner!

Cheers!
 
Time flew and we were heading home this afternoon.

Last Breakfast

Since we had some time, we went to the nearby resort - The Chateau for some pictures taking.

We left Bejaya hills and stopped at K.L. for our lunch before our long jourey home...
