Mrupupup went for a staycation (mini holiday in Singapore) at Amara Sanctuary Resort in Sentosa Island Singapore - 1 Larkhill Road Sentosa Mrupupup's Reviews: Good Points - Good view from the room window of South China Sea and ships - Great Gym (24hrs) Mrupupup had solo access to the gym as nobody was around 10pm at night - Nice place with lots of nature like trees, Hornbill bird, Peacock, pandan leaves, frogs, fishes, etc. - Nice infinity pool on the fourth floor - Near to the Palawan beach Bad Points - Poor front desk service - Check in later (30 mins later than 3pm check in time) - Nobody picks up the phone at the front desk - Made some groups of people angry because of the late check in - No free internet in the room - Rooms can be old - Old Sony TV with poor image quality (not flat screen) - Can be quiet at night (if you like to be left alone) - Constant peacock bird making noisy calls (if you don't mind sleeping with loud calls in the day time), at nigh

Well, Mrupupup cannot go overseas so indulged in a 'staycation' in a local Singapore Hotel named Studio M Hotel located at 3 Nanson Road (quite near to Clarke Quay area). Studio M Hotel is part of Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Group. The unique part of this hotel is their 'loft' concept meaning the bed is located at the top after climbing a small ladder which is quite cool. The bed is super cosy and the stylish room comes with two TVs (applicable to certain room type). The great thing was the room Mrupupup stayed in had a great view of the Singapore River. Staycation also means visiting the nearby cafes and shops along the Singapore River for nice coffee, seafood or even Japanese ramen! The Studio M Hotel served up a nice buffet breakfast with freshly made pancakes and omlettes (yummy!) Totally enjoyed the Studio M Hotel facilities (loved the swimming pool) and had a relaxing time, too bad it is only for one night. Hope someone can sponsor Mrupupup to stay longer in
