Review: Marni Phuket Town Restaurant, Montri Road (Phuket, Thailand)

After checking in at Courtyard By Marriott Hotel Phuket Town, my husband and I were looking for a spot to grab some lunch. Since he wanted to make a reservation at Luna Massage & Head Spa, we decided to hop over to this Italian restaurant that was located just next door. The restaurant inhabits a … More Review: Marni Phuket Town Restaurant, Montri Road (Phuket, Thailand)

Review: Courtyard By Marriott Hotel Phuket Town (Phuket, Thailand)

Having visited Phuket once before, my husband and I realized we really liked the Old Phuket Town district for its character, as well as the abundance of cafes and markets in that location. Our previous accommodation, Mövenpick Myth Hotel Patong, was a lengthy 30-minute car ride away, sometimes even longer if traffic was bad. As … More Review: Courtyard By Marriott Hotel Phuket Town (Phuket, Thailand)

Review: Baan Ying Restaurant, Centralworld Shopping Mall (Bangkok, Thailand)

After my husband and I were done shopping our hearts and wallets out at Platinum Fashion Mall, we headed over to Centralworld shopping mall to eat at one of the restaurants along the stretch on level 3. This one caught my husband’s eye and along with a warm welcome by Jeet, who introduced himself as … More Review: Baan Ying Restaurant, Centralworld Shopping Mall (Bangkok, Thailand)

Review: Pathumwan Princess Hotel (Bangkok, Thailand)

Conveniently located in the central Bangkok district, this hotel is directly connected to MBK Center shopping mall and within walking distance to Siam Paragon, Siam Square and the National Stadium BTS station.

Review: Portman’s Bar – Go Lokal Afternoon Tea, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay Hotel (Singapore)

In keeping with the garden-in-a-hotel concept, Portman’s Bar is a nature-inspired watering hole nestled in the sun-drenched atrium on level 4 of PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay hotel.

Review: PARKROYAL On Beach Road Hotel – Club Premier & Executive Suite (Singapore)

Situated on the fringe of Singapore’s Kampong Glam heritage neighbourhood, guests at this hotel have easy access to the surrounding cultural spots, as well as nearby shopping malls. But given the less-than-ideal stay here the last time, I must admit it was a rather tough decision whether or not to give this property another shot. … More Review: PARKROYAL On Beach Road Hotel – Club Premier & Executive Suite (Singapore)

Review: Pan Pacific Hotel – Executive Marina Bay (Singapore)

The Pan Pacific hotel underwent a pretty extensive transformation in mid-2023, where new F&B spaces were added and certain room categories (Deluxe, Premier and Executive Marina Bay, Premier and Skyline Suite) were refreshed. Since I had a complimentary stay with club lounge access courtesy of being a Prestige member of Pan Pacific Privileges, the hotel’s … More Review: Pan Pacific Hotel – Executive Marina Bay (Singapore)

Review: AYANA Segara Hotel (Bali, Indonesia) – Part 2

The next morning, we had the option of having our breakfast, which was served between 6.30am and 10.30am, at Karang (AYANA Segara), Padi (AYANA Resort) or To’Ge (Rimba). Since Karang was just downstairs, that made the most sense, plus the interior looked comparatively more modern. There was a substantial variety of items in the buffet … More Review: AYANA Segara Hotel (Bali, Indonesia) – Part 2

Review: AYANA Segara Hotel (Bali, Indonesia) – Part 1

A one-night stay in Bali over the weekend would typically be an unfathomable itinerary for my husband and I, but the phrase “never say never” comes to mind in this particular instance. As he really wanted to catch the finals of an e-sports competition, we pulled together to somehow make this trip happen 😀 Thanks … More Review: AYANA Segara Hotel (Bali, Indonesia) – Part 1
