Casa del Rio [Malacca]

Joe and I went for a short getaway at Malacca over the weekend. We have been there before with a group of frens so the place was not new to us. But we made sure to try out food places we missed out the last time!

The hotel we stayed at was Casa del Rio, a newly opened hotel since May this year. It’s pricier than Equatorial Hotel which we stayed at previously but it’s located by the river, just a stroll away from all the major sights and most importantly, Jonker Street where all the good food were! :)

We booked a coach cum hotel package from Luxury Tours and it was really hassle-free! Just board the coach, clear customs and you get sent all the way to your hotel!

Ginger sherbet as a welcome treat during check-in! Refreshing!

Another treat welcomed us in our hotel room! Appreciate little touches like these, they make all the difference!

Now, to show you around our extremely spacious hotel room! There is a separate area for the wardrobe, and then as you peak into the bathroom… you see the bedroom!

Here’s a view of the bedroom from the bathroom!

And to enter the bedroom, you walk some steps down…

Such an inviting bed!

I feel instantly relaxed already, just looking at these pictures!

And at the balcony, you get to chill at your own leisure!

Here’s the view from the balcony!

We still managed to get a view of the river although ours was a Deluxe Lago room :)

And not forgetting one of the highlights of the hotel – the infinity pool! Want to know what lies beyond the edge? You got to see it for yourself! Heh!

The “lago” area on the ground floor (meaning “lake” in Spanish) for more chilling!

The hotel at night!

I highly recommend this hotel for a weekend getaway at Malacca! Love it lots and we plan to come back again, next time with our family members! :)
