Lotus Desaru Beach Resort Malaysia

If you're spotting for a great hideaway to unleash your stressful wok life or perhaps unwind on a weekend trip, this place located in Desaru Malaysia is the place to be. If considering budget & proximity of this place from Singapore, Lotus Desaru Beach Resort & Spa offers nothing but the best of beach & recreational activities to all sun lovers out there. Spend your morning having breakfast with a beach view, take all the time for water fun rides and spend the night with a bottle of beers with friends are just some ideas you will surely enjoy in this beach haven. 

From Singapore, you just need to take a 40 minute ferry ride to reach this destination, if going here in a group of like 5-6 persons, individual spending for a 3 bedroom villa will just cost you $30-40/ head. Since you have everything you need inside, a pocket money of $50-$100 SGD will be enough to buy finger foods, bottle of beers or spending a coffee session wit friends. A 3 days & 2 nights itinerary will be recommended to fully utilize the amenities of Lotus Desaru as they have swimming pools, water parks, seafood resto, awesome water rides & other sports activities of your interest. 

So here's a photo diary of our awesome trip to Lotus Desaru Beach Resort with my Starhub colleagues early this year. Hope to come back here once more. Enjoy a life of travel to all my blog avid readers :)

The KEE Resort & Spa Patong Beach

If you're planning to visit Phuket before summer ends, then go to The Kee Resort & Spa Patong Beach in Phuket, Thailand. It will be a crowded summer destination but to tell you frankly, this resort & spa is something else. I celebrated my 25th birthday here and booked it online via Agoda.com before heading to Thailand.

The KEE Resort & Spa is a Thai-owned avant garde tropical retreat with a vast lagoon-like swimming pool & contemporary Sino- Portugese theme in the heart of Thailand's most popular tourist destination. What I really love about this place will be their modern room style with various colour schemes to choose from. You will definitely love the interior design & the modern comforts of this resort. 

Imagine each room equipped with a central entertainment console for music & movies on demand, plus international satellite television. The entertainment interface also allows guests to order in-room dining and real-time bill checking. All guest rooms at The KEE Resort & Spa Patong have free wifi internet access & KEE card to ensure privacy & Security. Also don't forger to try the KEE Sky Lounge & KEE Pool Bar & try the famous Thai Massage at KEE Spa. Staying for a night here was indeed spectacular. I really had a great time & this is a perfect getaway. Can't wait to be back for sure.

Bali Tropikal Spa

Any travel escapade wouldn't be complete without having a soothing & refreshing whole body massage unique in a country of your visit. Considering the high cost of typical body massage in Singapore, most of us will go hunting for the best massage place and good enough I found one in Batam, Indonesia.

Tropikal Body Massage is strategically located righy in front of Novotel Batam Hotel. The place is just a walking distance away from the hotel main entrance. We were lucky enough to find this massage haven after having a satisfying Indonesian Lunch in a nearby restaurant. 

We came in and treated first class with staff. Offered with some hot tea, we were given the massage manual to quick view of their service offer. We were stuck on choosing between the Tropical Balinese or Javanese Massage. We ended up trying the Balinese massage for a price of 

RP 268,000 upon recommendation of the receptionist. It is a combination of aromatherapy with the choice of Lavender, Lemongrass, Peppermint, Grapefruit or Eucalyptus 100% Essential Oil.

Essential Oils & Organic inspired Tropikal Body Massage.
