Constantly seeking things that increase feel-good quotients. Loves hubby, dear son, Japan, spa, shop
For my birthday this year, we decided to do a short 2D1N road trip to Melaka. Initially was thinking of staying car rental orlando fl airport at Casa Del Rio which is located just next to Jonker Street. We stayed there previously and loved the convenience, overall furnishing of the hotel, moreover dear son loved the oversized bathtub.
But I wanted to try The Majestic which is a YTL property (we've been to 2 other YTL properties - Tanjong Jara Resort and Cameron Highlands Resort and were quite impressed car rental orlando fl airport by the service and overall ambiene and furnishing. Even though the location is rather inconvenient, I was keen to check it off my to-stay list in Melaka and more importantly, try the Spa Village. Have had heavenly experience at Spa Village Cameron Highlands and Tanjong Jara before, so Spa Village is a must-try for me! Well, take it as a birthday pampering treat :)
The entrance to the car park is located car rental orlando fl airport at a different road from the actual hotel entrance, and easy to miss but luckily I spotted it just in time. And I also spotted the coffee shop that we wanted to try, just at the entrance to the car park.
The boutique hotel consists of 2 buildings, the main building where the reception and restaurant are, is originally a Peranakan mansion dated back in 1920s. The new building is an addition, houses 54 rooms and suites, and mirrors the original architecture of the old building.
The bathroom car rental orlando fl airport is an open-concept, with sliding doors that we could open all the way to sort of adjourn the bathroom and the bedroom. Good thing about this, we could monitor dear son while he plays in the tub. The over-sized bathtub is a favourite for dear son, it looks very much like ceramic but surprisingly is plastic!
The dining car rental orlando fl airport room known as The Mansion, serves breakfast and dinner. We only had our breakfast there the next morning. For dinner, we wanted to try the Chinese stall, car rental orlando fl airport Restoran Lee at the nearby coffee shop which is supposedly very good.
Breakfast is included in the room rate. It's semi buffet style, tea, coffee and juices are served at the table, bakery items and some hot food items like nasi lemak and fried noodles, as well as fruits and yogurt are served at the buffet table. In addition, we could order eggs, omelette, French toast, waffles etc. which would be cooked by the chef.
But honestly, we didn't have such a good impression of breakfast. Thought that as a YTL property, car rental orlando fl airport they could do better, as in we had better experience at Cameron Highlands Resort and Tanjong Jara Resort. Firstly, there weren't enough baby chairs, good thing they provided cushions for dear son to sit on. Breakfast service was slow, the orders took a while to arrive and the kitchen delivered wrong order for hubby (he wanted soft boil egg and they served hard boil). Buffet items were limited with slow refills.
The star of the meal, fried crab cooked in milk. It's not really like butter crabs, it tasted rich and milky, yet spicy but not too overwhelming on the palate. And toast is served together (to dip the sauce in). Very unique indeed! We like! The meal however was not cheap (can't remember the price now), I guess coz of the crab. Well, it beats eating at the Portuguese settlement (which we didn't have a good experience previously).
After the hearty dinner, we decided to walk to Jonker Street to help in digestion, but it was quite a long walk, took about 30 mins. As usual the night market area was too crowded and we just walked for a while, ate a bowl of iced chendol and took a cab back to the hotel to rest for the night.
