The Majestic Hotel, Melaka-A free holiday stay!

This is the Majestic Hotel Melaka. I was very blessed to have won a 3 day 2 nights stay with all 3 meals included in the package for 3 persons when I attended the Alpha Fund Raising Dinner on 27th October 2009 at the JW Marriot Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Thank you Andrew and Christine Lim for giving me the opportunity to attend the dinner! We (hubby and I lah!) decided that we would use the gift of this holiday on 12th January 2010 immediately after Alpha 2010 was launched on 11th January 2010 at the Assumption Church Petaling Jaya.  So off we went after lunch with our mischievious 5 year old daughter all excited. As the miles separated us further from Kuala Lumpur and nearer towards Melaka, our mood eased into light heartedness and relaxation. Reaching Majestic, we were tickled pink to be faced with this picture of the hotel entrance...old school and well preserved. For me it was even more poignant as I recognised the location as the very place where my favourite Media Corp Singapore drama series, 'The Little Nyonya' was filmed.

Our room was fantastic! Daughter and me were delirious with joy to find a huge claw footed bath tub in the room! The shower and toilet were separated so that made showering or soaking in the bath tub easier and saved us a load of time in the morning! There were soft and fluffy bath robes, huge soft towels and all in all, luxury all round! This hotel is after all part of the Small Luxury Hotel group and opulence was the main theme!

 Dinner on the first night was truly a luxurious experience for common people like us. It was a 3 course meal and started with Appetisers, Soups and main course for us on the first night as we were hungry having had a very light lunch! By the time we finished our dinner, we were so satiated that we decided to have an early night. This photo is the Fillet Mignon I had on the second night! Yummy!

Needless to say, we had a great time in the 3 days we were there. I have no complaints about the place and the staff (made up of people from all over South East Asia) were friendly efficient and went out of their way  to make sure we had a good time! Thanks again to YTL hotels for sponsoring this prize; to the staff of Majestic Hotel Melaka who went out of their way to pamper my naughty 5 year old and us!
