SenS Hotel Ubud

Bali’s Ubud is about Relaxation & Culture, SenS Spa Hotel is an Oasis within & more affordable than you might think.

Hotel Name: SenS Hotel Ubud
Address: Jl. Sukma, Tebesaya, Ubud, Petulu, Ubud, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80571

Note: Although invited by SenS Hotel, the following review reflects my personal experience based on my stay.

A very warm welcome awaited us as we entered the four star Boutique SenS Hotel Ubud. We were greeted with refreshing wet towels, followed by small mocktail refreshments and a delectable sweet.

The Lobby is not overpowering huge, rather cozy with comfortable seating in rich burgundy reds and gold. Indonesian Balinese music plays softly in the background.  Such a relaxing ambiance!

The Room – Superior King:  Warmly decorated in soft greens and beige, it is extremely inviting. A king size

Aerotel Singapore Transit Hotel

A transit hotel in Changi Airport with an outdoor swimming pool. Time to relax.

Hotel Name:  Aerotel Singapore
Address:  Level 3, Departure Transit Lounge, Terminal 1 (above Gate D41), Singapore Changi Airport, 819642

Note:  This is an independent hotel review based on my personal experience via a collaboration with the above brand.

The Hotel:  First and most importantly, Aerotel Singapore is a transit hotel.  That means, when your flight arrives, you DO NOT go through customs, rather you go straight to the Transit Hotel. (Note: It does not say Aerotel) The escalator to get to the third level is to the right of gate D41.

You will not have access to your checked luggage, so make sure

Usedomer Brauhaus Heringsdorf

Traditional, hearty German Cuisine in an authentic Craft Brewery on the Island of Usedom.

Restaurant Name: Usedomer Brauhaus
Address:  Friedenstraße 1, 17424 Heringsdorf

Note:  This is an independent restaurant review based on my personal experience.

Usedomer Brauhaus, is a culinary delight located on the Baltic Sea Island Usedom in Northeast Germany, Northwest Poland.  The tourist spa island is divided between Germany and Poland.  It is here that we had the pleasure of dining in the Craft Brewery which serves an impressive menu of beers and German Cuisine.

The Restaurant: The casual atmosphere is inviting; booths, tables and chairs are placed around huge copper brew kettles and a large bar invites the single visitor.  Brewery tours complete with tastings are sometimes available, so be sure to ask!  Grilled chickens are roasting on the back wall and Flammkuchen, a traditional German flatbread, is

Seetelhotel Ostseeresidenz Heringsdorf

Sleeping on the shores of the Baltic Sea in a little town called Heringsdorf on the island Usedom.

Hotel Name: Seetelhotel Ostseeresidenz Heringsdorf
Address: Seestraße 41, 17424 Heringsdorf, Germany

Note:  This is an independent hotel review based on my personal experience.

Located in the Baltic Sea is an island which is half Polish, half German.  Sunny Usedom Island in the province of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania boasts long stretches of sand beaches, untouched nature, spa hotels and resort architecture.  Accomodations are abundant and the question is always, where to stay? While there, we (4 adults) stayed at the Seetelhotel Ostseeresidenz Heringsdorf.  

A short 3 minute walk to the beach, this apartment hotel seemed like a good choice.
