The immensely spacious reception Beyond the vast reception area, once we hopped onto the buggy that took us to our sea-view Panorama Pool Villa, I felt like we were transported into a retreat in another realm. The sheer size, design and indulgent luxury … [Read more...]

The Eatery at Four Points by Sheraton in Puchong is one such premise that features a friendly kids-corner for their Weekend Hi-Tea Lunch Buffet. … [Read more...]
THE ANDAMAN, LANGKAWI: DINING INDULGENCES
As the last visit at The Andaman, Langkawi was a short one, besides breakfast at The Restaurant, we dined at two of their other F&B outlets… TEPIAN LAUT As its name suggests, Tepian Laut is “by the sea” and it’s al fresco dining at its best. Beneath huge shady rainforest trees, guests get to feel the raw sea breeze blowing in from the Andaman Sea and that somehow enhances the appetite significantly. The a la carte menu for lunch features a solid selection of local … [Read more...]
THE ANDAMAN, LANGKAWI – A REVISIT
The Andaman, a Luxury Collection resort in Langkawi is not someplace you’d forget easily. Although it has been 3 years since I last visited it in 2013, the majestic main lobby of The Andaman was just as breathtaking when I revisited it recently. Fashioned like a “balai rong seri” – an imperial waiting hall common in ancient Malay “istanas” (palaces), the magnificent and beautifully-carved wooden structure at the centre of the lobby remained as impressive as ever. The Main … [Read more...]

SHERATON GRAND MACAO – LIVING THE SUITE LIFE!

Fast-forward 4 years and the hotel has now been designated “Sheraton Grand”, a truly deserving award. This new premier tier recognizes exceptional Sheraton hotels and resorts for their enticing destinations, distinguished designs and excellence in service and guest experiences. These qualities have to be constantly maintained, if not … [Read more...]
HOTEL JEN TANGLIN, SINGAPORE
It used to be the Traders Hotel but has recently been refurbished and rebranded. I’ve never stayed here when it was the Traders so I don’t really know how different it was then. But I can tell you what “Jen” is like now. Wait, just who is this “Jen”? Well, Jen is actually a virtual persona, a professional hotelier, a lover of life, fun, adventure and discovery. The decor of the hotel fits this description nicely after a cool SGD45million makeover. The main lobby and reception area is … [Read more...]
