Stay-cation

180709

2 days 1 night vacation

The journey begins...

on our way to Changi Village Hotel.

Our very 1st experience staying in a hotel in SG!

Dar wanted a retreat so I book the place (near where he stay) for the weekends.

Checking in...

Ground Level/ Lobby

view from Level 4

Our deluxe room

It's a 4 star hotel but seriously, I wasn't impressed in any way at this point...

I like e bath room concept tho.

sheesh... =X

After unpacking out stuff,

we scout around the hotel facilities before we embark on our planned activities for the afternoon...

Dar went to the gym while I read some fashion magazines by the pool at level 8.

He met a friend there & was excited to fill me in with the details.

I teased him by saying, "did you ask if he has companion?"...
*suggestive statement!

We had some cocktails (singapore sling for him & pina colada for me) & salad

when he's done w his gym & swim.

We spend the rest of the evening at the hotel's spa retrest till 8ish pm.

$450 for 2.5hrs of relaxation for 2 includes:

a quick shower + lavender steambath, foot soak, dry brush, detox wrap, bath & 1.5 hours of massage.

We were served ginger tea before & after our spa.

+ we had our blood pressure & temperature tested before the treatments.

It was quite enjoyable knowing we are well taken care of.
It was super shiok...!

If I had xtra time I would consider getting my manicures done too!!!

We made reservations for bbq & buffet dinner before we head for spa services.

The BBQ/ teppanyaki food were delicious.

So does the affordable australian reds we had...

I brought my own reds from home too!

Day 2

Swimming pool at ground floor, outside the restuarant where we had dinner.

We had plans to have dinner by the pool last night but it was raining.

I came down to take a look at the place early in the morning...

See the morning mist through the lenses!

Fact is, those were water vapour condensation. Hate it!

Dar ordered my favourite breakfast while I was still in bed.

It was served when I met him at the pool after his swim.

I went for a dip at the jacuzzi (facing the beach) too.

I was feeling a little feverish...

I think I must have caught a cold...!!!

After a heavy breakfast, we continue checking out the rest of the facilities within the hotel.

Given a choice, I would have rather pay more for other more established hotel.

Dar enjoyed his stay at this hotel when it just started operating 4-5years ago.

Too bad the hotel wasn't well maintained after some time.

I hope Dar love the surprise anyways.

We checked out at 1pm and bid farewell to CVH...

I spent the rest of the day doing my nails at Parkway Parade while Dar have coffee with his friend at Dome.

It was such a lovely weekends gateaway!

I'm loving it! Definitely going to plan more stays over the weekends in months to come.

Or probably to Batam, Bali, Thailand or nearby prretty resorts!

I want a romantic time out @ a quiet beach resort...
