Colmar Tropicale - a pictorial guide
Entrance of the Colmar Tropicale, fronted by the draw bridge and clock tower

Pine tree outside the window of our apartment

Each building at the Colmar was unique. Each has a lovely garden at the ground level. This one belonged to the building we stayed in.




'Fuchsia', the building where our apartment was located is at the right.

Lovely quiet walkway

'Azalea', another building next to ours


The walkway leads to the front of the Colmar

The 'Draw Bridge'. The road leads to a double storey underground carpark. The entire Colmar complex was built above the carpark

One of the 2 white swans swimming in the 'moat' under the bridge


There're another pair of black swans on the other side of the moat


I went around the entire complex, keeping to the back lanes. Not a soul in sight!



The entire place was planted with many types of flowers


The swimming pool (the water is heated). There is a big gym next to it and sauna for males and females. Nice clean place

The Viewing Tower located at the far end of the resort. The 3 storey building was easily assessible via stairs and, for the lazier ones, elevators!

Colourful roof tops taken from the Viewing Tower

The Clock Tower at the other end

More roof tops!


Spiralling stairs in the Viewing Tower

'French Street'. The yellow canopy covered the outdoor restaurant of the
'La Blasson'. I had my meals here. Food was so so only, 5 out of 10! Bland bland bland! You can also see the Wishing Well located in the middle of the street. There are many shops selling anything from baked goodies, poultry delicacies, pasta and pizzas and aromatherapy massage.



' Fuchsia', where we stayed in. The buildings were named after flowers (I think!)

Inside the 'Fuschia'


Small canopies on the street sheltering street vendors. At this one you can make a wax cast of your hand/palm/fist, whatever, at a price. The children can also enjoy 'sand art' here

Come on weekends as there are plenty of activities going on like the live dance show, street clowns and magicians

For a price, you can even get your caricature done here
