Back and burnt!
Hello beanies! The boy and I are back from our little getaway to Phuket and yes, I am looking rather crispy now, especially around my shoulders. Urgh.
Loads to blog about but first up: Pictures of the gorgeous TwinPalms Resort in Phuket where we stayed:
I love the simplicity of their logo.
The large lobby with nice high ceiling.
The driveway.
The swimming pool in the middle of the resort.
Obviously quite a “couples” resort – just look at the poolside chairs!
Deck chairs in the pool.
Our room for the stay, #38.
It was located on the second level so we had to ascend steps to get to our room. It was actually better than a ground-level room because everyone could peek if you didn’t draw the curtains!
Long-stemmed roses greeted us when we entered our room. I told them that we were celebrating our wedding (never mind that it’s been 5 months!). We also received a complimentary bottle of champagne, completely chilled in an ice bucket.
The quiet corner of the room.
Chocolates presented in the shape of the Twin Palms logo. How cute!
The king-sized bed with 4 fluffy pillows and a skinny ‘bolster-looking’ pillow that I liked very muchg because I sleep with a bolster at home.
Check out the bathtub filled with rose petals. Ha. We didn’t get a chance to use it though!
The H-U-G-E bathroom with the basins on the right and the wardrobe on the left.
Another view of the room with a peek of the balcony.
Bathroom with separate basins – I LIKE!! Oh and did I mention that they had really wonderful smelling toiletries provided by the Twin Spa? I have never enjoyed hotel toiletries *this* much!
Located at the bedside table was this control panel that allowed us to control pretty much all the electrical stuff in the room. Interestingly, if I left the balcony door ajar, the “Door is OPEN” sign will light up and the aircon will automatically switch to ‘fan mode’.
Hwah. So intelligent lor.

How much did you pay for this and where did you book it from? We’re trying to plan our next getaway!

an2an – You should plan a quick getaway to this resort!
Mr & Mrs – I booked it directly with the resort. They were having a 3N Stay Promo that costs, in total, about S$600+. Includes 3N accom, return transfers, daily breakfast
