Last month, my husband and I decided to have the weekend early, we took Friday off and went on a 5 hours road trip with Menjangan Dynasty Resort as our destination. I've been eyeing MDR for a long time, perhaps way before we got married. However, with scheduling conflicts, budget, and everything, the trip had to be postponed. It's not always easy for my husband to take a day off from work. His role requires him to be always available - sometimes during weekends too. So when he was able to take a day off, without thinking too much, we booked the hotel around 10 days before the trip. We're so lucky there's still a room left!
We stayed in one of the beach tents, which was perfect for a couple like us. The view was literally so pretty, you could see the beautiful beach and blue sky right from the porch. The service was amazing. After we checked in, they brought us to our room with a golf cart. When we got to our room, there was a welcome fruit basket with a cute note waiting on the table, the amenities were fully stocked and the bed was pretty comfortable despite the room idea was to sleep in a tent. One thing that both my husband and I wished them to improve was the bedding, for us, it was too rough and somewhat felt cheap. We prefer linen, cotton, or different materials such as tencel or bamboo bedding. But, to note, this is purely your preference!
We originally wanted the villa with a private pool but it was fully booked. But it didn't bother us much because the deluxe tent was just as comfortable as the Vila one, just smaller, and the public pool wasn't too crowded. In general, MDR is not a busy resort - it's somehow secluded, perfect for those who want to get away from the busy, hectic, life. What makes it perfect is, that MDR is a one-stop service kinda resort. They have water activities, a gorgeous restaurant with good food, and an astonishing view. My husband and I just wanted to relax, so we mostly spent the day on the day bed on the beach - he's playing games and I reading a book.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Menjangan Dynasty Resort. Such a beautiful, relaxing place with a wonderful view, and amazing service. Highly recommend!
Let's spend a day-off with me! I don't always do this on my day off, but occasionally I like to pamper myself as a self-reward after working so hard. Especially in the past few months, a lot has happened and this type of day is very much needed. It was a nice sunny day so I decided to do some errands!
As per usual on any day, I started my day by doing my skincare routine. After my husband left for work (he didn't get the same day off as me), I made our bed, cleaned up our space and also did the laundry. Once everything was in place and neat, I did my makeup and got dressed.
The first on my pamper day to-do list was to do my nails. I found this press-on nail company called Eze Nails on e-commerce and ever since I have stopped getting my nails done at the salon. The one I used this time was dusty rose. The colour compliments my skin and is definitely perfect for everyday colour.
