Staycation ideas

[Our Little Smarties]

I brought my son to the newly opened Buds by Shangri-La last weekend. It was opened on 26 Jan 2018. Truly very impressed with the huge play space and the fact that it's opened to non-hotel guests too. We dined there so we paid $28 for one child + 1 adult free. My son played for 3 hours and enjoyed himself so much.

Now, I told my boy that if he do well in SA1, I will bring him for a staycation at Shangri-La Hotel Singapore. Being a hotel guest, he can play the entire day to his heart's content. Haha!

Somerset Bencoolen, think is serviced residences. Looks a bit run down.

It does look pretty shabby.


What about staying in a capsule bed@ a hostel? This looks nice, and is pretty cheap too, less than $50 per pax for a night

This place is in Shangri-la, the one near RGS. They did a renovation of their Tower Wing. I am now having staycation there..it's perfect.

We have tried other hotels like Capella, Ritz Carlton but I would have to say this is our favourite. They have a whole 9 floor dedicated for families. You can either get a family theme room, they are like a suite with the children's room done up very well, my kids went crazy when they saw their side of the suite. You can also get a normal room on the 9 floor for $400 I think, its about half the price of the family theme room. We have access to Stokke strollers, washing machine, dryer, high chair. My sister who has a 2 year old finds it very useful.

We adults could have quite a bit of time to unwind and read and relax because the kids loved Buds, the indoor and outdoor playground, they have unlimited access and its free for those staying at the 9 floor of the hotel. I tried the slides myself,they are quite fast, not the kind you get stuck and have to inch your way down. The muddy room is where they can paint on the walls. They loved that too. It is one of the best designed and cleanest indoor playgrounds we have been to. But older kids who are 11-12 yrs old may find the playground a bit too young for them.

We will definitely come back again for another staycation. Really worth checking out.
