went for a night stay at shangri-la rasa sentosa with zac on thursday. the service is ultra disappointing. we check in, and there were contractors in our room! servicing the air con, they say. so we went to the lobby to request for another room. then the bimbo trainee told zac why don't we just wait for the contractors to be done. but hello??! we paid to be able to check in at 3pm on time! you're delaying us and hence we're not getting our money's worth. so we spoke to another guy at the counter at we got another room. and free late check out the next day. that's better. the room isn't as nice as the amara sanctuary. smaller bathroom too. so disappointing. thought shangri-la has high standards. but a small and cheaper resort like amara is better.
anyway because of stupid delays like this, we didnt have much time for the beach before we headed to vivo to have dinner at marche. we shared yummy smoked salmon crepes, mushroom and ham pizza and stir-fried veggie salad. i swear veggie never tasted so good. but then we only had potatoes and mushrooms. haha. had root beer too. everything is quite cheap, added up to below $30.
after that we just walked around vivo and then back to the hotel. zac brought a bottle of jacob's creek sparkling rose, which was really good. yum yum. i drank really fast. oh yea the room didnt come with wine glasses. so horrible. amara sanctuary resort provided them.
i had the worst sleep ever. the thermostat was down, so the room was freezing like mad. after getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, i couldn't go back to sleep anymore. because once i stepped out of the blanket, i was shivering, nose got blocked and runny, and kept sneezing non-stop. argh.
next morning i felt like crap as i went for breakfast. nice breakfast. i had pancakes, hashbrown, beef sausages, chicken sausages, cheese omelette, tea, milo, some bits of waffle. haha. after breakfast we went to the pool to suntan! was super hot. but it feels good. cleared my blocked nose. this little boy almost drowned in the pool. so scary. but the life guard was so sharp. spotted him before anyone did. then the mother suddenly appeared and thanked the life guard. where did the mum went to??? irresponsible.
we ate cup noodles for lunch in the room, then checked out. the room doesn't have forks!! wth. damn lousy. we ate noodles with spoons. sheesh. stupid rasa sentosa.
yea that's about it. overall nice experience except for the room.
