It was the Hari Raya Weekend and we haven't had a break in a while so we decided to go on a relaxing holiday nearby. The criteria was
- Less than 2 hrs away from SG
- Beach Holiday
- Not overly priced
We evaluated and elimnated the following:
- Beaches in Malaysia (Contenders were Langkawi and Redang)
- Phuket (too touristy) and Koh Samui (too expensive)
- Vietname (Danang - too far)
I happened to check on Tigerair and found a decent deal for Krabi, and we had corporate rate for the Sheraton and the reviews seemed good so we went for it.
As it was the off peak period, we also figured we won't have to jostle with the crowd.
Turns out, it was one of the best holidays I've had.
We were picked up promptly from the Krabi airport and upon getting to the Sheraton, we were brought to the Club Lounge to check in. Turns out that we got upgraded to a huge suite plus had club lounge access for our whole trip!
The room was lovely, and the bathroom even had a hot tub.
We didn't plan much to do for the holiday so the Sheraton Tours were perfect. We just picked whatever was available on the tour menu and went for it. We went for elephant trekking, kayaking through mangroves (that in itself deserves a post) and the rest of the time was spent at the spa, in the pool or just in our suite!
It was the perfect relaxing break and I would highly recommend Sheraton Krabi for people looking for a short break from Singapore, especially during the off peak season as there wasn't any crowd, group tours essentially became private tours and promotions for both the room and spa!
