2 Days and 1 night at the Empire

It seems our holiday streak hasnt finished!  Another enjoyable weekend, sort of holiday like hehe...

Hubby won a 2 days and 1 night stay at the Empire during the Amateur Photography competition last year, and only now we redeemed the prize and stayed at the hotel.  We checked in around 2pm and we were given a superior room at the Seaview building.  I never been to this part of the hotel.  All this time we stayed at the main west or east wing which I prefer due to the near proximity to all the amenities like swimming pool, the atrium and so on. 

But since it was free, I didnt want to argue about it and just went with the flow.  And I am so happy to report that the room was not too bad at all.  The building was even nicer, its quieter and very spacious.  And its a good time for us to explore the whole place as well since we never done this before.

On our way to the Seaview Building, its located right the opposite of the main building, just a very short distance away.

The room!  Empire rooms never failed to impress me.

Hubby and me in our room for the day.

We were happy with the room hehe, except maybe for the TV.  Its about time Empire replaces them with the flat screen hehe.

Nice and comfy couch.

One thing I love about the Empire is their spacious washroom and toilet.  Its huge.

Us again at the balcony



Hubby checking if there was a free WI-FI.  Nope, no have!  It cost B$30 per day.



With a cup of complimentary coffee!

After settling in our room, and happy that everything was in order, we decided to venture outside the premises, something we havent done before even we have stayed here for so many times already. It was a lovely day, windy and cool so its so nice to have a leisure stroll.

A swimming pool especially for hotel guests who stayed at the Lagoon or Waterfall buildings.

We could see the beach from the pathway.

This area was from the 2nd floor of Seaview building.  I just love all the chairs which came in different designs.

Another area of the Seaview building.

This picture was from the main building called the Atrium Arcade, we use this route to go to the Seaview building.

After the stroll, hubby and Ayang decided to swim, it was a nice and cool day so its gonna be good to have a dip in the pool. 

Thats Ayang and hubby.

Hubby enjoying the swim.

We stayed at the pool until about 6pm and the surrounding was getting dark.

At the Empire Atrium, a very nice sight indeed.

Another scene from the Seaview Building, isnt it nice and luxurious?
