It is uncertain when leisure travel will be resumed. Many of us have cancelled our overseas travelling holiday plans for this year.
Before the pandemic, I would travel at least 2-3 time a year. Why I love to travel? Beside taking a break from my work, it is the ultimate adventure which exposes me to new types of people, different ways of living, and opens up my mind.
While we are all waiting for leisure travel to resume, a staycation in Singapore is the closest thing we have to a quick getaway - minus away the hassle of dealing with an unfamiliar environment, currency or transport system.
A staycation is perfect for couples who live separately with their respective families, bffs who usually travel together, or families with kids who don't have a swimming pool near their homes and wish to enjoy one at a hotel.
Having a staycation is so easy! You need not worry about booking of air tickets, last-minute packing, currency exchange, the mad airport dash, planning of leave, complex itinerary planning and so on.
It is definitely a great and cost-effective getaway! Much more affordable as compared to travelling overseas which there are more expenses like your Airplane tickets, accommodation, transportation, food & itinerary expenses.
Even by just having a weekend staycation, you get to feel as if you’re transported to an entirely different time and place.
If you have a loved one who is feeling down because of a cancelled trip, or someone you simply want to cheer up, a staycation always makes for a good gift!

The infinity pool offers fantastic view of the city while you soak and relax.
It is the perfect place to relax and read a book.
They have a little herb garden on this level too.
If you are hungry after doing laps at the pool, you can always order some food and drinks from their poolside menu. We ordered Cesar salad , Energy Smoothie, Detox smoothie and Assorted Sliced Fruits and Berries.
The colourful birdcage-inspired cabanas along the perimeter of the pool provides a comfortable chill-out space for guests to lounge and indulge with a glass of wine in hand.
More luxurious indulgence...
When bubble bath is not enough....
Order a bottle of Piper Heidsieck Brut NV from the in-room dinning menu.
Or simply enjoy a cup of hot tea in the comfortable room and watch the world go by .
Overall:
The hotel is very well maintained, clean and modern. It is also also incredibly environmentally friendly, with a lot of green space. The COLLECTION Lifestyle Junior Suite is very luxurious and well equipped. The infinity pool and health facilities are awesome, with amazing views over the city. The breakfast was really great too. The staffs are attentive, friendly and very accommodating. I feel like a tourist everytime I go on a staycation and I think this is what we all needed now. Plus the hotel is situated in a very strategic location with walking distance to Chinatown, Marina Bay and MRT stations. You can take this opportunity to walk around and explore the places around the hotel too.
