Happy 1st Anniversary to us!! This year, hubby planned a staycation back at the resort we got married 365 days ago!
This time he booked the Courtyard Suite, instead of the Verandah Suite which we stayed during our wedding. Courtyard Suite is located at level 1 of the colonial building, below the Verandah Suites.
As the name suggests, it comes with a courtyard and a small private pool at the back of the room. There’s even a sole cleaner at the entrance of the room! The 4-poster bed in the room certainly helped in creating an even more romantic mood (flowers not included!). Soon after we checked in, and after taking photos of the room of course, we dipped ourselves in the pool. It is a shallow dip pool so DO NOT jump in!
We enjoy strolling around the resort premises. Afterall, we have stayed here before and visited this place many times before our wedding. If you are looking for a good swim, there are 3 swimming pools in the resort.
- The pool at the Larkhill Terrace is reserved for guests staying in those rooms (pictured below). If you stay in 1 of those rooms, there is a sliding door which opens up to the pool!
- Sky pool at the roof (level 4) of the building. Most guests would head straight up there because it is nearer to the rooms. As an infinity pool facing the sea, the sea breeze makes it rather cold to be in there. But for the view, I would say it’s a good choice.
- For us, we also visited the other pool near the villas (pictured with me below). It is a quieter place, perfect for photo-taking! However, do note that there might be occasional leaves falling into the water as the pool is surrounded by trees. Perhaps that’s also the reason why less people swim here.
That night, we also had a drink and a game at the Tier Bar after dinner. We did not have time to chill at this bar after our wedding.
This time, as our stay was on a Monday, (guess what?) we had the whole place to ourselves! Even the karaoke system was free for me to play around with and choose songs I like!
Will I be back at this resort for staycation again? I’m pretty sure this would not be our last time staying here. But I’m sure, the next time, we would be with our baby!
