Last weekend marked our 4th year together as a couple. And as part of the celebration, we checked into Marina Mandarin Singapore for a 3D2N staycation, where we got to spend some memorable moments together.
First surprise of the day: Upgraded room!
We had booked the deluxe room through Agoda and prior to the visit, I had requested for a higher floor room to celebrate our anniversary. We certainly didn't expect the hotel to so kindly upgrade us to the Executive King room. Yeah!
The bed was really comfortable and we spent quite a number of hours lazing in bed over the 3 days.
The room was very spacious for 2, and it came with a huge bathroom and bath tub. The tub was clean but upon closer inspection, we could that it's starting to show its signs of age as we spotted one or two tiny cracks. That, however, didn't bother us a bit. We were more than happy to soak in the tub -- a luxury if you're living in a HDB like me -- and the bath foam provided by the hotel made me a very happy girl!
It was so relaxing to soak in a hot tub at the end of each day.

Surprise No. 2: Half an hour after check-in, a hotel staff came by to deliver complimentary red wine and fruits. There was even a card by the Guest Services Team to congratulate us on our anniversary. We were pleasantly surprised by the gesture. Thank you Marina Mandarin Singapore!
All in all, it was a relaxing weekend spent at the hotel. The only thing that I feel can be improved further is the quality of their breakfast buffet. They had a small selection of different cuisines - Japanese, Indian, Western, Chinese - and the usual cereals and salads etc, but none of the taste impressed me in particular. That being said, I'll definitely return to the hotel in future!
