Staycation - Parkroyal Hotel on Beach Road

The mister and me had another impromptu staycation this year and it was booked on that very day when he suggested going for a 3D2N staycation where he doesn't need to work on a saturday! I welcome that idea because it would be good to spend quality time together and chilling out. I searched through the online booking site and finally  settled on Parkroyal Hotel on Beach road since the price was quite reasonable and within our budget. It cost around less than $400 for 3D2N stay.

Judging by the exterior, it is quite an old hotel but they are undergoing through revamp the time I had staycation early this year (because they upgraded me to a deluxe room). 



The room was quite dimly-lit but overall condition was still quite good. We bought our dinner to have it in the room and we also bought sashimi & wine for supper! We enjoyed this type of relaxing life once in a while. After eating and rested for a while, the mister was watching the soccer match while I decided to explore the gym. 



The gym has a beautiful view while I was using the equipments and jogging on the treadmill. I spent an hour there, burning off the calories. 



It was wasted doing exercise because we had supper in the room! We had our favorite sashimi and wine!




I only remembered feeling very sleepy after eating and went to bed after that while the mister continued watching the TV. The bed was huge and comfy enough to sleep all the way till daybreak! 


I woke up early and pester the mister to go for breakfast at Symmetry Cafe and he indeed did fall in love with the breakfast too. 



We really nua the whole afternoon in room after breakfast and catch an evening swim before I walked to Bugis to buy dinner (because I was very very hungry!) while the mister was soaking in bathtub with a can of beer. -.-" While I was walking back to the hotel, someone came running towards me and it was the bf himself, so sweet of him to worry I buy alot of food and needed some help. 


We also had sashimi again with red wine this time round, the sashimi was really good and fresh! Looking at the photo, I really missed such staycation! 




I hope for another staycation soon with my boy!

Staycation - Crowne Plaza Changi Airport Singapore

I think staycation is becoming a trend in Singapore and the hotel prices are quite reasonable with promotions at times for Singaporean. If I do not have any holidays plans, I will go for staycations every few months when there are promotions. I have been to 3 staycations so far for this year. 

As I'm a IHG member (when I was on business travel to Amsterdam previously), I managed to earn some points staying at Crowne Plaza Amsterdam Central. When the bf asked me of any staycation idea, I suggested the Crowne Plaza at Changi Airport since I was IHG member. I remembered I booked a night stay for $200 and I got late check-out till 2pm. 

Here is the check-in lobby.





Check-in was pretty fast and the bf will only be able to make it after work so I got to have the room to myself whole of afternoon. I asked for a room on high level, plane taking-off view. There were complimentary drinks for 2 included in the bar. 







The room is quite spacious and comfy with a wonderful view and it is totally sound-proof. I could not hear any noises from outside. This is quite a good choice for light sleeper. 

The bf only arrived in the evening so we went to redeem our drinks at the bar area. 



It was then snacks and drinks while watching TV in the room till we fell asleep, the bed was so comfy that I slept all the way till dawn and woke up to the following sight.



We had breakfast in bed and sleep again till check-out time. Staycation with the mister is always so fun and relaxing!
