Terracotta Tripping 2024

This I believe was the score price for my trip!

Wasn’t able to find much detailed reviews about this property from my research other than that on TripAdvisor (and even so, Dec 2023 being the last review) so hopefully this will help someone else 🙂

[Hotel Review] JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok

My first trip back to this city after COVID!

It was an atas sibling trip this time and of course I had to clock in more Bonvoy elite nights. I have to say that the Bonvoy options in this bustling city can be overwhelming and I decided on this property due to the fact that its recently renovated, offers decent proximity to the BTS Stations, the great reviews I saw while researching, plus a later evening cocktail timing (until 9pm) which I needed as my flight will only be landing in BKK at 1700. Onwards to a great stay!

[Hotel Review] Renaissance Johor Bahru

This was an impromptu trip to clock more Bonvoy double elite nights and figured I will do a short review of the property. I stayed here ages ago so its also worth seeing if the property is holding up okay, being the only Bonvoy property in the city. This was also a short stay so this review will also be rather condensed.

[Hotel Review] Sheraton Mall Of The Emirates

My first 2024 hotel review!

This was a multiple-KPI trip: clocking enough miles to renew my KrisFlyer Elite Gold, visit a country which I’ve always wanted to, and start the hamster-wheel on my Bonvoy Titanium renewal. Paying $1,600+ for an Economy Flexi return ticket for a 7-hour flight aside, I was excited and game on to make the best of my 3-night trip.

This trip came up but of course due to the Cathy Pacific giveaway which happened earlier this year, and I decided to try this RC for its amazing views (and eye watering prices). This stay comes after a fantastic stay at RC Tokyo just last month and I was super excited to be able to make a comparison between these two similarly highly-raved about properties.

Ah the because-last-night splurge of my trip!

After so many days of running around for work and clocking too many steps for leisure, I figured I deserved a splurge for my last night in Tokyo. To be honest, it was between this and EDITION but I picked this in the end because CLUB LOUNGE.

[Hotel Review] Batam Marriott Habour Bay

It has taken me this long to try this property.

While I had my eyes on this spot pre-COVID, prices were hovering around SGD300+ which was too expensive for Batam. So COVID came and went (or still around) and the idea for a short family trip came up, I decided to spring for this as the prices had gone down and I would be able to utilize my Suite Night Awards (SNA) which otherwise would have expired end 2023.

With the inaugural flight out of the way, it was time to make my way to my home for the next 3 days! This stay ended up with more hiccups than I anticipated though but I survived.
