We had a chance to pamper ourselves with a nice resort vacation in Cebu, Philippines recently. It’s my first time in Philippines, and we travelled there via a direct flight on Cebu Pacific Air. The flight from Singapore to Cebu on Cebu Pacific Air takes less than 4 hours (and the return flight is even shorter). It’s a great way to fly as we even managed to snag the first […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/cebu-philippines/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/travel/singapore/sentosa-casino/ https://sparklette.net/travel/singapore/sentosa-casino/#comments Tue, 23 Feb 2010 07:25:33 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=937

Ever since the Resorts World at Sentosa – one of the two integrated casino resorts in Singapore – opened, the casino has been drawing in a steady stream of visitors. The games available at the casino include baccarat, blackjack, slots and electronic game machines. Have you been there yet? As we all know by now, Singapore citizens and permanent residents are required to pay a S$100 fee to enter the […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/singapore/sentosa-casino/feed/ 11 https://sparklette.net/travel/singapore/resorts-world-sentosa/ https://sparklette.net/travel/singapore/resorts-world-sentosa/#comments Wed, 20 Jan 2010 16:06:18 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=925

The Resorts World Sentosa integrated resort in Singapore has finally opened! Are you wondering what it is like on the inside? We take you on a tour through this highly anticipated attraction. Even before the Universal Studios theme park, the country’s first ever casino, and most of the 60 restaurants are open for business, the resort has already amassed a huge crowd on its opening day! Clearly, the casino is […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/singapore/resorts-world-sentosa/feed/ 62 https://sparklette.net/travel/cambodia/siem-reap-pub-street-old-market/ https://sparklette.net/travel/cambodia/siem-reap-pub-street-old-market/#comments Tue, 26 May 2009 05:11:34 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=837

Dear Sparklette friends, as I have promised you, here’s the travelogue of my 3-day trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Short as it was, I did fulfill my goal of visiting the ruins of the ancient city of Angkor, as well as indulge in some Khmer (pronounced k’mair) delicacies! Our direct flight to Siem Reap happened to be the first flight of the day. After flying for 2-ish hours, we arrived, […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/cambodia/siem-reap-pub-street-old-market/feed/ 42 https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bintan-lagoon-resort-2/ https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bintan-lagoon-resort-2/#comments Fri, 31 Oct 2008 08:51:48 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=779

Rise and shine! We started our second day at Bintan Lagoon Resort with buffet breakfast at kopi-o restaurant. When I’m having a buffet breakfast it’s almost always when I’m on vacation. That’s why buffet breakfasts make me happy :) Anyways, the spread here consists of both Asian and Western food. We wasted no time in filling our plates. East meets West when you have fried bee hoon (rice vermicelli), sambal […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bintan-lagoon-resort-2/feed/ 26 https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bintan-lagoon-resort/ https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bintan-lagoon-resort/#comments Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:25:01 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=778

Over the past weekend we were invited to enjoy a 2D1N stay at Bintan Lagoon Resort. Our task was simple: review the resort and check out its facilities and restaurants. See, this 12 year old resort (highly popular among Singaporeans) has just renovated some of its rooms. We had the luxury of staying in one of these newly refurbished deluxe rooms! Following a 60-minute ferry ride from Tanah Merah, we […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bintan-lagoon-resort/feed/ 16 https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bali-3/ https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bali-3/#comments Mon, 29 May 2006 05:44:19 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=391

last day in Bali. I have never felt sadder! This is one trip that I have thoroughly enjoyed. It has turned out way better than I anticipated. Over here at Contiki Resort Bali, the people couldn’t be nicer. I met some great people and had some great company over the brief period I was here. But it’s time to go home. during check-out at the resort, I got most of […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bali-3/feed/ 24 https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bali-2/ https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bali-2/#comments Sun, 28 May 2006 16:31:32 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=390

Day 2 starts off with breakfast by the pool. The buffet spread wasn’t good as the food variety was rather limited. There was the usual bacon, omelette, sausages, bread, etc. Had myself an omelette with onion and tomato. For the first time, I had a good view of the resort in daylight. My room is the first one from the left, on the ground level. After breakfast, I went to […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bali-2/feed/ 9 https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bali/ https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bali/#comments Sun, 28 May 2006 09:56:48 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=389

early in the morning, I went down to the Contiki office at Suntec to collect my air tickets and hotel voucher. The office is located on the 41st level, with an excellent view through the full length glass windows. Geraldine and nicholas gave me a briefing on what to expect over at Contiki Resort Bali, and the assurance that I would be well taken care of over there. after going […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/indonesia/bali/feed/ 10
