Eska Wellness and Spa 26/1/2014

PL and I went for our first facial treatment together at Eska Wellness and Spa. This time round, we went to the branch located inside Nagoya Shopping Mall. As you can see, it was just a short walk from Triniti Hotel, the place where we stayed. But I would recommend that you try Ace Hotel, which is located around the row of shophouses. We took the Essential Purifying Facial Treatment at 330k rupiah (inclusive of taxes). It was written there as a 60 mins treatment, but we were treated for 2 hours, and nearly missed our check out time. >.< The branch was jam packed when we reached there at 10am, when it just started to open for business. We booked the treatment the night before, as we figured that it would be less packed but we thought wrong. A lot of Singaporeans were there, but they were mostly there for massage or hair spa. We were the only two for facial treatment, which is good! Basically, they just squeezed the whole face out of me, and it was ultra painful. Probabl...

Review: Bliss Hotel, JB

Omg, I didn't realise that I didn't review about Bliss till I was looking for it in my blog posts. Yes, I do reread my own blog at times. Which is good because I tend to have STM. Bliss Hotel is a uniquely designed hotel in JB, near to KSL and Sri Tebrau. I love this area (but not Pelangi Plaza which was a 3 minute walk away) and the rooms are so pretty! Very pretty right? We stayed in the orange one when we were there. This exact same room. All the rooms are designed differently, when we went to poke around. This hotel is actually converted from shophouses so there are quite a few stairs leading to everywhere. The rooms are all quite small though, but it is enough if you are not bring your whole wardrobe along. We watched horror movies inside the room as they have the LCD screen. Very awesome. The breakfast was a little limited as there are not many guests, but it was ok in PL's opinion. For me, I thought that there was a lack of choice, but they have ...

Review: Harris Hotel - Batam Centre

It's a hotel that PL will love, since the whole theme of the hotel is orange. Stayed there for 3D2N on a weekday. (24-26 Sep 2013) Their beds are furnished with orange Harris Big Hugs and it was a godsend because I always need extra pilows and bolsters around. As usual, there was an extra pillow in the cupboard, and I made full use of it. We had a super interesting encounter with the cockroaches in the room though. The guys were in our room chit-chatting when one of them spotted a cockroach crawling around the carpeted floor. Asae immediately jumped and demanded him to catch it. Then, another mini cockroach crawled across the wall and almost landed in our bed.The guys mentioned that it was because of the water flood in the bathroom, which probably caused all the cockroaches to come out. Asae couldn't take it and requested the guys to let us stay in their room. So, the four of us squeezed into a room, taking all our belongings and the bed stuff over. We even carried the bl...

Review: Crown Vista Hotel Batam

Since it was a groupon deal bought by PL and his friends, I just tagged along without much expectations. 4 of us added the massage as PL said that he didn't want it. Btw, the massage was good. I told the masseur in broken Malay that my shoulder aches and I feel like an old person, she did a customised massage for me(I told her I only want to massage my shoulder, and she did it together with the neck and head! And she even corrected the neck posture by cracking it. To think that I had to pay 150rm in Malaysia to do that...I feel cheated) The massage was done in Hotel 89, and my masseur is called Farah. A petite lady. Anyway, back to the main topic. The hotel is situated on a hill, and it takes 15 mins to get to BSC or Nagoya Hills. There is a shuttle service from the hotel and advanced booking is required. The rooms are really spacious! Imagine a two double beds spaces with some extras. The 3 guys room was a tad small because they added in an additional bed. And they gave us con...
