Accidental Stay at Paradise Sandy Bay

Someone who was so thoughtful about me called me on a Saturday afternoon asking if I was free.
And, it turned out to be an invitation for a night's stay at Paradise Sandy Bay.
(Thanks .. my good samaritan)

My die-hard 'must-take-a-lot-of-photo' spirit never DIED.
I took my camera and snaped MANY, MANY pictures.

It's christmas... isn't christmas.. till it happens in your heart..

Took someone's room key and snapped.. (smart me :P)

The first time I walked out of the lift, I was surprised that the rooms were suites instead of just 'rooms'.

Photo 1 - patterns

I was amazed with the size of the room....

and I was staying all alone in the room....

It's a not too bad place for a holiday vacation for oustation folks..

(no money for saying this but I just wanna share)

Photo 2 - Perspective

I tried snapping The cove from my balcony at level 7.

My first time setting to MF but I find that the pictures were slightly out of focus and I felt as if I have bad eye sight looking thru the view finder; it's almost impossible to manual focus the rings of the lens.

I took the lift up to 17th floor and the view was way better.

It was windy too..

And I still dont' understand how to avoid the "Stars" for night scenes.

Breafast in the morning.

Overall - I dislike the food from the hotel.

Breakfast, dinner, lunch did not taste good at all.

It's one of the worst buffets I've been.

Its like, I was staying at the buffet line not knowing what to put on my empty plate.

Welcome drink from the lounge - overly sweet which is not suitable for the diabetics.

Photo 3 - patterns again :P

I didn't know there are a lot of angmohs sun tan-ning out by the beach.
