2D1N stay @ Shangri-La Sentosa

Last Thursday, Da and I went for a 2D 1N stay at the Rasa Sentosa, at, err...Sentosa. Duh!

Set off at around 12:30 from my place, because the check-in time was around 3.00. We took the train to Harbour Front MRT station, and then took a free shuttle in to Sentosa.

Da while waiting for the free shuttle to arrive.. This is a Harbour Front Towers..

Here's upon our arrival at Sentosa. We were all feeling bubbly and bright. The sun was shining brightly, and we were all in a good mood...

Here's the hotel as seen from the lobby..

The view of the pool from the hotel lobby.

Then, we were told by the person at the reception, that our rooms were not ready yet. And that we would not be able to check in until it was ready. And so, Da and I waited. We strolled to the beach for a walk...

And waited...And waited...

Until I was really pissed off. We literally saw the sun get hidden by the clouds, and the sky darkening by the minute. I decided that we have had enough, and we went over to the reception again. She said that she was sorry, but the room was not ready...yet. They would cal us when it was.

Then I was thinking to myself...at this rate of waiting, I will check in at 5, and then check out at 12 the next day?! WTF!?

Well, seeing that things weren't right with us, the girl decided to offer us a "complimentary" fruit punch from the hotel cafe.. And so, we took it, of course!

View from the cafe.

Err...even the bird trotted into the cafe, and walked all over the place.. haha.

After this, Da decided not to let this incident spoil our day. Know what he did? He went over to the counter, and demanded that we have a later check out time the next day, given that we have wasted so much time the first day waiting for the freaking room. And guess what! The person agreed!

Now that's what i call service!

After that, she arranged for us to leave our bags at the bell counter, and that we could go to the pool for a swim first, while waiting for our room to be ready. And so we did.

After that, got to our room, finally....at around 5. They had to compensate us by giving us a high floor..haha. 10th, 1010. Not bad...

It was not very big, but I thought it was quite cute. The bathrooom and the room was linked by an open window... i like.. The bathtub is just by the window as you can see..But the tub was not very big as well.. haha

There was this complimentary platter, with some nonya kueh, and nuts. Really quite good, given that I was famished at that time..

More photo taking..

This is the spa that we went to the second day. Called Rasa Spa. Nice place; though I have to admit that my knowledge about spas is next to none. haha. Virgin trip to the spa... and I chose to give it to Sentosa.

Well, there was a complimentary bottle of wine as well, and as you can see, we are not very expert at drinking as well, seeing that da didn't even manage to open the bottle.. haha. IT was SOOOOOO...ultimately embarassing. After struggling for 20 minutes, he decided that he had enough, and called the counter to ask for assistance.

After 5 minutes, someone came up to help us open the bottle of wine. haha. Ridiculous...

Our late night supper. Chicken and bacon sandwich. Not bad... but very ex. That's why i didn't have anything. sigh. That's the thing about Singapore. Everything is expensive. Everything.

The next morning.. Woke up bright and early for breakfast at the cafe. Thoroughly enjoyed it! I loved the variety, and everything. Really, really nice... yumm!!!

After breakfast, we went back to the room to change, and then proceeded to swim for a little while, and then went to the spa for our treatment. I wanted to do the body massage, but then I had a sunburn from the previous day out to Sentosa with the girls, and therefore could not take the torture to the back. I had a facial instead.

I swear i will go for another spa treatment soon... =P

parting shot.

Haha. I couldn't bear to leave.
