So we head back to Mandarin Oriental on 18th Mar 2022 for Mummy’s belated birthday weekend (we first visited on 26th Dec 2020).
We kinda liked MO and enjoyed the food at Melt Cafe so that was it. We were by this time FOMO (Friends of Mandarin Oriental!) so they were kind enough to accord us an early checkin. Daddy says not really due to being FOMO but prolly cos global travel had yet resumed in full force so local establishments were still promoting the local staycation options! Anyway we rock up round about noon but were informed our room was not yet ready. bummer!
Lobby looking rather Oriental… But amazing architecture (very similar to Ritz Carlton!).
Anyway they allocate us a temporary holding room 1524 until our room was ready. We get comfy and check and nooks and crannies. Room though mare seemed tired, worn and dated…
The MO juice was yummy though!
Didn’t seem too long after when we get a call informing us our room was ready and someone would meet us there with our bags and key cards.
This was to be a Premier Room with additional roolaway bed and add on of 2 breakfast for us kids.
The view from our room facing Suntec and the Marina Square rooftop tennis courts!
Ooh and welcome amenities + (smallish) cake for the birthday girl!
Once done exploring the room guess what, assessment books come up from hiding and it’s prep work time again – aka time behind bars!
After sometime we get the green light to have some chillax time. Remember these were days is SMM (safe management measures and only vaccinated individuals were allowed to use the pool), that also based in the reserved time slot – each guest could book on a first-come-first served basis an hour per day use of the pool. Since we got in really easily this time we get slot from 5-6pm and head down on time.
We head to the adjacent Marina Square for dinner. Ooh look what do we have here but Pororo Park! Looking very similar to the original park in Seoul.
Some nice balloon sculptures.
And wait, Poli!
Checkout Daddy squeezing himself into the kiddy ride. What a big kid, Lol.
Breakfast at Melt was always a highlight!
