Cameron Highlands' Metro Manjoi Kayangan: Unbelievable Paradise Found!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the messy, glorious, and sometimes slightly chaotic world of Metro Manjoi Kayangan in the Cameron Highlands. Forget pristine reviews – this is the real deal, warts and all. SEO be damned, let's get personal!
Metro Manjoi Kayangan: Unbelievable Paradise Found! (…Mostly. And That's Okay.)
Right, first impressions. Getting there? Accessibility: The Cameron Highlands itself…well, it's a winding road adventure. So, not exactly a breeze for anyone with serious mobility issues. Getting to Metro Manjoi specifically? I'm not an expert, but based on the descriptions, it should be relatively straightforward. Car park on-site, they've got a free one, mind you. That's a win in my book! But, the hills… be prepared for some up and down!
Wheelchair accessible? Not specifically highlighted, so I'd advise triple-checking with them directly. Call them up, right? That's the way to get a real answer!
Internet – The Lifeline (and the Annoyance)
Okay, let's talk about the internet. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Woohoo! …and the actual experience? It's the internet. Sometimes it's brilliant, letting you stream your Netflix fix (on demand movies? Excellent!), and sometimes… well, let's just say I spent a significant portion of one afternoon staring at a buffering wheel of doom. Internet access – LAN is also listed, which is a good back-up if you're old-school like me. Internet services -- that's vague. Probably they'll help if you're having trouble. Wi-Fi in public areas? Yeah, it’s there, but I spent most of my time in my room… the Wi-Fi was okay. It’s the Highlands. They try.
Cleanliness and Safety – Are We All Going to Survive?
Alright, COVID-era travel. You're thinking, "Is it safe? Am I gonna catch something?" The good news: Metro Manjoi seems to take things seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hygiene certification, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Staff trained in safety protocol… They're checking a lot of boxes. Hand sanitizer is available. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items. Safe dining setup. Physical distancing of at least 1 meter. I saw staff wearing masks. Did I see them every minute? No, but they were clearly taking precautions. I’m not a germaphobe, but it gave me solid peace of mind. And the best part? The room sanitization opt-out available. Because sometimes you just want to live in sweet, germy luxury.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – My Stomach's Siren Song
This is where things get interesting, folks. Metro Manjoi has a pretty impressive dining setup. Restaurants? Plural! Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant. They've got you covered. Breakfast [buffet]? Yes! Breakfast service? Yes! And it's a good one. Western breakfast, Asian breakfast. Food is so important on vacation, so having choices is good. The Poolside bar? Oh, it called to me after a long day of hiking. I'm a simple man. I want a cold Tiger beer, and the poolside bar delivered. The Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop. are great to wake up. There's a Snack bar for any time cravings. And let's be honest, sometimes a cold beer is dinner.
Things to Do and Ways to Relax - Because You're on Holiday!
Swimming pool [outdoor]? Check. And the Pool with view? Double check! Glorious, I tell you! I spent a solid chunk of one particularly sunny afternoon just… existing in that pool. Pure bliss.
Want to get pampered? Spa, Spa/sauna. They provide. Are you a fitness nut? Gym/fitness, Fitness center. Go for it! Sauna, Steamroom. They've got the works. It’s worth it.
Outside the hotel? Cameron Highlands is a dream for hiking and exploring tea plantations. Make sure to visit nearby local markets and explore the local cuisine.
Services and Conveniences – The Nitty-Gritty
Okay, the "boring" stuff, but crucial. 24-hour front desk is a lifesaver. Concierge? Yup. Cash withdrawal? Convenient! Daily housekeeping? Thank goodness! Laundry service? Necessary. Luggage storage? Always helpful. They really do a good job of covering the basics.
For the Kids? – Family-Friendly or Beware!
They list, Family/child friendly and Babysitting service. So your kids can be on the loose.
Rooms - My Safe Haven (Mostly)
Okay, the rooms themselves. Air conditioning? Check. Free Wi-Fi? Check. Blackout curtains? Oh, sweet, sweet darkness! Coffee/tea maker? Crucial. The water pressure in the shower was pretty good – always a plus!
The bed was surprisingly comfy. I slept like the dead. Maybe a little too comfy… I almost missed breakfast one morning! Interconnecting room(s) available… if you're traveling with a bigger group. In-room safe box, Mini bar, Refrigerator… all the essentials. The rooms are pretty standard, but in a good way. Clean. Well-maintained. And that's all I really need.
Getting Around – The Great Escape!
Airport transfer? Available! Though I didn't use it. Car park [free of charge]? Another win! Taxi service? Yup. They’re on it!
My Quirky Observation (and a Bit of Ranting)
Okay, here's my one tiny gripe: the pillows. The pillows were… let's just say they weren't the fluffiest. I might have even gotten a crick in my neck. But honestly, a small price to pay considering everything else! Don't expect the Ritz. Expect a solid, comfortable stay with lots of great features.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your perfectly-curated Instagram travel guide. This is Metro Manjoi to Cameron Highlands, the unvarnished, slightly chaotic, and hopefully hilarious truth. And it's a good thing I've got my trusty (and frankly, a bit stained) notebook to keep it all straight, ‘cause my memory? Let's just say it’s currently residing in the Lost and Found.
Day 1: The Manjoi Maneuver & the Wrong Bus
- Morning (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Okay, so the alarm blares like a dying whale. And I am NOT a morning person. Drag myself out of bed in Metro Manjoi – which, let's be honest, smells faintly of fried noodles and optimistic dreams. Gotta make it to Ipoh Sentral for the bus to Cameron Highlands. Packed my bag (mostly snacks, because let's face it, sustenance is key).
- Impression: The streets of Manjoi are buzzing even at this ungodly hour. Motorbikes weave through traffic like caffeinated mosquitos. The air hangs thick with the promise of a scorching day. My stomach rumbles – a familiar soundtrack to my life.
- Flaw: Missed the first bus because I was busy chasing a rogue packet of Nasi Lemak down the street, and ended up on a VERY old, VERY slow bus. The air con? Non-existent. We smelled exhaust fumes and had a front-row seat to the countryside.
- Perspective: I’m convinced the driver was deliberately trying to break a speed record. Every bump sends a jolt of terror through my spine. We stop every 15 minutes to pick up more people. I swear the bus is older than my grandmother. But the landscape… well, it's starting to look pretty stunning.
- Afternoon (10:00 AM - 3:00 PM): FINALLY! Arrived in Tanah Rata, the main town in Cameron Highlands. Wheezing, slightly sunburnt, and smelling of bus exhaust, but hey, we made it! Found a cheap hostel (because I'm on a budget, and because I have a strange aversion to anything remotely luxurious). The room is… compact. Let's call it "cozy."
- Impression: Tanah Rata is charming – at least from the outside. It's a hodgepodge of colonial buildings, bustling markets, and an abundance of cafes selling tea and scones. I'm already craving both.
- Flaw: Checked into my hostel. My room had a window, but it looked out onto someone's laundry. The sheets smelled vaguely of… dampness? I'm hoping it's not mildew. It's my new, temporary home, and I was hoping for a better first impression.
- Perspective: Okay, I’m trying to embrace the "budget backpacker" vibe. Focus on the positive. The view from the common room is supposed to be great - as long as I can make my way through the other guests.
- Evening (3:00 PM - 9:00 PM): Tea plantation tour! This is what I came for! Drove to the Boh Tea Plantation with a tour. Absolutely breathtaking. Lush, green hills stretching as far as the eye can see. Picturesque, if you ignored the rain.
- Impression: The tea plantations are pure magic. The air smells like… well, like tea, which is delightful and invigorating. The workers there were kind and smiling. Even in the rain, it had a certain magic.
- Flaw: I got a little TOO enthusiastic about the tea tasting and ended up buying enough tea to last me the rest of my life. Also, I tripped and almost fell into a ravine. Luckily, a friendly local caught me just in time. I now officially owe him my life (or at least a really nice postcard).
- Perspective: The scones! Oh, the scones! And the clotted cream! Pure, unadulterated, carbohydrate-fueled bliss. I’m questioning my life choices (the ones that led me to an almost-ravine-fall) but I refuse to question my scone consumption. Worth it. Every. Single. Bite.
- Night (9:00 PM onwards): Wandered out looking for dinner. Found a local restaurant. I tried the local specialties. Delicious but really spicy! I'm now regretting my decision to order the chili.
- Impression: The locals are remarkably friendly. The food at the restaurant was authentic and filling. I'm incredibly sweaty, but happy overall.
- Flaw: I can barely taste the tea anymore. The chili is still burning my mouth
- Perspective: The hostel is loud, the bed is hard, but I’m finally in Cameron Highlands… I am ready to conquer the Highlands.
Day 2: Mossy Forest Mysticism & Strawberry Overload
- Morning (7:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Woke up, still reeling from the chili and the damp sheets. Decided to hike the Mossy Forest. Thought it was going to be a serene stroll through nature, but it turned into a jungle workout.
- Impression: The Mossy Forest is otherworldly. The trees are draped in moss, the air is thick with mist, and you feel like you've stepped into a fairy tale.
- Flaw: I got hopelessly lost. Ended up sliding down a muddy slope, losing my phone, and emerging looking like a drowned rat.
- Perspective: Finding my phone was a victory. The experience was so surreal
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Decided to visit a strawberry farm. Honestly, I went a little crazy. Strawberry everything. Strawberry juice, strawberry jam, strawberry ice cream, strawberries dipped in chocolate. I think I saw a strawberry-shaped hallucination.
- Impression: Strawberry perfection. The rows of strawberry plants are incredibly photogenic. The sun was shining, the berries were bright red, and my inner child squealed with delight.
- Flaw: My clothes are now covered in strawberry juice. I'm pretty sure I have a slight toothache. And my blood sugar levels are probably through the roof.
- Perspective: Totally worth it. All of it. I’m now officially the world’s leading expert on strawberry-based products.
- Evening (5:00 PM onwards): Dinner and planning for tomorrow.
- Impression: Ready to leave.
- Flaw: I'm tired!
- Perspective: Cameron Highlands is the place to be.
Day 3: Farewell, Highlands!
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Attempted to go to the Butterfly garden, but I went to the wrong location. I made my way back to the hostel. Packed my bags (carefully, this time - no rogue Nasi Lemak incidents).
- Impression: I have so many photographs! I'm feeling pretty good.
- Flaw: Still no hot water, and the bus back to Ipoh leaves in an hour.
- Perspective: I survived! I'm exhausted, a bit messy, and a whole lot of strawberry.
Okay, that's it. My Cameron Highlands adventure in all its glory. It wasn’t perfect, it was a little messy, a lot of fun. And honestly? That's how I like it. Goodbye, Cameron Highlands! I may never see you again. But I'll always remember those scones.
