"Rest when you’re weary. Refresh and renew yourself, your body, your mind, your spirit. Then get back to work." -Ralph Marston
Our friends left for a short vacation in the Philippines while he still had bookings at the hotel. We took the opportunity to use the room while he is away, and by the way, he will not return to the hotel as he is transferring to an apartment.
So, going back to the topic, a staycation is the getaway for us here as expats. Because we cannot always buy tickets and travel again (talking about the Georgia adventure), this is one of our pastimes during weekends.
We stayed at Ezdan Hotel in West Bay for 2 nights. The room is a studio type, equipped with a cooking range, fridge, and microwave oven, so we were able to cook our food.
I love the facilities in the hotel, especially the pool. They offer day passes, but since we are in-house guests at the hotel, it is free. They were not strict during our visit, maybe because it’s not a holiday or peak season. There are other facilities like a Jacuzzi, sauna, and also sports amenities like basketball courts.
