Staycation @ JW Marriott South Beach

With the need to clear leaves accumulated over 2020, and not able to travel overseas, we decided to do a 1 day staycation in Singapore and bring *OEE* for his first swimming pool encounter (Or rather splashing water time). JW Marriott South Beach was chosen based on the good reviews written online about its swimming pool view and the availability of tubs in every room for mineral spa treatment. 

The room was booked straight from Marriott website and we did an early check-in 1 day earlier via the Marriott app with some request such as early check-in at 1.30pm, high floor and crib in room. I was really presently surprised that the app notify me that my room was ready as requested at 11am! Good service ya?

We chose the package with breakfast included at their Beach Road Kitchen. Due to COVID-19 restriction measures, you will need book your dining visitation hours restricted to 45mins per booking. Well, we went at a time where there is not much crowd and hence, the 45mins eating restriction was not enforced. There are still plenty of empty seats in the restaurant though. Same goes for the swimming pool, you will need to make your reservation in 45mins slots. 

As buffet is not allowed to be served, you will need to make your orders to the staffs in the restaurant. The choice available are not as plentiful as the normal pre-COVID times, but the usual Marriott standard choices are still there. Given a choice, I will rather make my own Grab Breakfast and walk over to Suntec for self collection! Will definitely re-visit again, if situation allows.
