Read about my review on the room and food here. After eating lunch (we were too full for the cake and left it in the fridge to enjoy as an afternoon snack), we changed and made our way to the swimming pool.
We had to prebook the usage of the swimming pool, gym and spa facilities. However on the day itself the staff told us we could extend our booking for the swimming pool if we wanted as there weren’t many guests. We booked the pool for 1 pm – 2 pm. The pool was relatively big and during the whole hour my sister and I were there, we were the only ones swimming. The rest of the guests preferred to suntan on the seats around. It was actually quite peaceful and I swam for the first time in more than a year.
After the pool, we went back to the room to refresh ourselves and had my birthday cake as an afternoon snack. We then changed again to go to Willow Stream Spa. We could book the spa in 3 hour slots and we booked from 3 – 6 pm. We went down promptly at 3 pm and were super happy we did, because for the first half an hour it was just us using the facilities. There was a cold pool, hot pool, jacuzzi pool, sauna and steam room. The pools are quite small and due to Covid measures, each pool is limited to only 2 pax. Hence it is best to be there early so you can access the pools. Then again due to the high temperature, it is unlikely anyone can stay for more than 20 minutes in each pool.
The best part about the whole place was definitely the relaxation lounge. Some of the towels are marked by ‘X’ due to safe distancing measures. Each bed had a towel which we used as a blanket, a lamp and a small bedside table that had a power socket. The place also had soothing music playing and a nice aroma. It was easy to fall asleep there and we spent 45 minutes at this place. I was sad to leave but knew I had to because I had to rush home to pick up and look after my son.
Checkout was really easy – we just had to drop our keys into the box provided at the lobby. We then strolled the shops at Raffles Place B1, looking at all the foods they sold – so many desserts! Then it was home sweet home.
We really enjoyed ourselves at the staycation. This was a short post but hope it was helpful for you if you are considering going for a daycation at Fairmount, or simply to book to go Willow Stream Spa for their facilities.
