Wedded Bliss in Krabi<\/h3>\n

After 40 years of marriage, my wife Maureen and I have mastered the art of compromise. When we go on holiday, this usually means that she lets me spend at least one day on the golf course while she reads her magazines by the pool. The first time we went to Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort<\/a>,\u00a0all I could think about was teeing off on the nine-hole golf course. Then I caught sight of the pool! A vast expanse of clear turquoise water winding its way through lush gardens, and as the backdrop, the glittering Andaman Sea. I\u2019m a sucker for hotel pools with a view of the ocean, so I abandoned my golfing plans and spent the day sipping icy Singhas at the swim-up pool bar instead. This was the life I imagined when I dreamt about retirement in those last few years at work and with my Accor Plus discounts, it\u2019s now a reality! This pool remains the only one that can tempt me away from the fairway \u2013 making it Maureen\u2019s favourite as well. –\u00a0Edward<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Moment of Peace in Phuket<\/h3>\n

Before kids, Joko and I loved sophisticated rooftop infinity pools and romantic private plunge pools. Nowadays, the only way we get to lie back and read the books we\u2019ve been meaning to get to all year is if the kids are kept entertained. That\u2019s why I love the main pool at Novotel Phuket Surin Beach Resort so very, very much. There\u2019s a huge water slide, supervised children\u2019s activities and (Indah and Budi\u2019s favourite) twice-weekly foam parties. I have to admit, the foam parties brought out our inner kids too! Best of all, professional lifeguards mean that I finally feel like I\u2019m off duty \u2013 at least until the kids come to me to judge who stole whose pool noodle first. I\u2019ll always be on the lookout for the next Accor Plus offer so I can treat the family (and myself) again. – Lia<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Romantic Singapore Staycations<\/h3>\n

I travel for business so often that it sometimes feels like my girlfriend and I are in a long-distance relationship. I like to joke that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but the truth is I do feel a bit bad. So, when I\u2019m in town, I often use my Accor Plus discount to book a romantic staycation at Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort<\/a>.\u00a0Its tranquil cliff-top location feels a million miles from the city, even though it\u2019s only a 30-minute drive. The beautiful colonial pool is my favourite feature. It\u2019s long enough for me to fit in a few lengths while Maya basks on the poolside loungers, and warm enough to spend hours relaxing together in the shallow end with cocktails from LeBar. Our time here is special \u2013 so special, in fact, that Maya often teases that it\u2019s the Sofitel Sentosa trips she really misses when I\u2019m away! –\u00a0Nick<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rooftop Luxury in Ho Chi Minh City<\/h3>\n

Tuk-tuk rides, markets so full of colour and sound you can barely hear yourself haggling for the best price, and of course, sizzling, spice-laden street food. Exploring Ho Chi Minh City is sweaty, chaotic and utterly exhilarating! There\u2019s no better place to cool down after all that excitement than the rooftop pool at H\u00f4tel des Arts Saigon – MGallery<\/a>.\u00a0I love the contrast of clear blue water and pale wooden decks. I also love how awesome the skyline looks on my Instagram feed. Most of all, I love the feeling of serenity after the bustle of the streets below. Admittedly we usually have to wait for a Red Hot Rooms offer to stay here, but when I look at the sheer luxury around me I\u2019m reminded of how far we\u2019ve come from our backpacker days. For me, this pool is the embodiment of everything Michael and I have worked so hard for \u2013 something we get to celebrate when it turns into a party hotspot after dark! –\u00a0Maria<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
