C'est la vie~: Siloso Beach Resort stay

Siloso Beach Resort stay

Saturday, July 14, 2007

another long lost post. been tired and lazy after work, hence I keep forgetting to upload these photos..

sis booked 2 hotel rooms at Sentosa Siloso Beach Resort on 30th June, the weekend that Derrick & I just came back from Bintan, to have some family time together. the new hotel is pretty good.. it has the foresty sense of feel.. especially the swimming pool area and the Lobby. not bad. considering everything is artificial. the swimming "pool" is really great! as you can see from the photos, it is built like a long lake/lagoon.. curvy style, with a man-made waterfall in front.. so far, I think this is the best hotel swimming pool of all! I like the nature feel that it gives me, being a nature-loving person =) and anything like Singapore, this hotel is clean.. probably bcuz it is still new.. but trust me. even the bath tub, which is always yellowish and suspicious looking in any other hotels, is shiny white and clean.

the Lobby. to walk from the Lobby to hotel rooms, we have to walk on a wooden bridge passing through trees.. then you can go to the room area. interesting!

classy chandelier

the wooden bridge leading to our hotel room

by passing the pool and water fall

long and curvy. nice!

derrick & I one room, sis & family the other room!

the view from our room.

stair case leading to our roof top private jaccuzi.

and it's really exquisite!

and in front our of hotel is the new beach bar - Cafe Del Mar. I'm rather turn off by the cafe. think abt it. people perspiring due to the warm weather.. some inconsiderate people applying sunscreen or sunblock lotion, THEN they lie on the CLOTHED sofa without laying their towels on top before lying down. oh man.. then new customers take the sofa chair and do the same thing.. how disgusting is it....... why, in the first place, are the chairs clothed.. wouldn't it be slightly better if it's leathered or wooden? think of the smell after some time.. yuuuccckkkkk.........

wendy loves the water.. she practically soak herself in there the whole stay

LCD tv some more!!

such a nice picture.. until..

Rachel & mother take my bottles away -_-

ee yer.. ghost..

then we went to the beach for some family day activities organized by... some ministry..
Wendy's afraid of getting dirtied. hahaha thus clinging onto Derrick.

poor rachel. looking at her then was very comical. she must be wondering why is her mom bringing her to the beach to eat apple along with sand and sweat, when she can be comfortable in the hotel room. hahaha! Moreover, the sand got trapped in between her layers of meat too! making her itch! damn funny!

mmmm... he makes me look like some ah lian -_-

bits & pieces of her childhood

Derrick swam there and wrote ... "I (heart) Betty" hehehe..
rather difficult to see from here but if zoom in, it's quite clear :D

after the terrible sun-baking at the beach, we went back to the hotel swimming pool. fun!!

we didn't realize we have this complimentary drink until evening. haha..

up at the jaccuzi with the wine and we saw the helicopters!

who say baby can't drink alcohol?

sun set. but we're in the wrong direction

bubbles

dinner! we had room service as the restaurant was holding a wedding.

the room service was great! food was good too!

after dinner, Derrick & I went to watch Transformer! great movie! although the ending gives me the feeling like as if the film is running out of time hence the Director just ended it shortly and abruptly.

next day. breakfast! the buffet was horrendous!! the word 'buffet' shouldn't even be used! it's more like FOOD RATION. it was that bad. we woke up pretty early and headed down to breakfast through our roof top door (as it connects us to the dining area).. didn't expect the queue to be soooo long! and the waiter told us to come back again as they cannot accommodate so many people! what the hell!! but we inspect the food before going back.. it was boiled hot dogs. boiled chicken sausages. boiled ham. instant food like cereals, milk and yoghurt. partially cooked eggs, which are way off from half-cook sunny side up, and hard like rock breads. the choices of food are just what I've listed. that few. sigh sigh.. a great great disappointment.. I guess they boil everything possible to boil to save time. and looking at the queue then, it really looked like food rationing. haha! thank goodness we stayed in Roof-top room, meaning we open the back door, and there~! the restaurant! hence, we collected the food ration and bring it back to our room and have it there. haha.. lucky we have the jaccuzi!
