#Staywithme: Montigo Resorts, Nongsa

" Our memories of the ocean will linger on, 
long after our footprints in the sand are gone. "

Vacations are definitely the best getaway from everything, and anything. Well i totally needed it, school's been really tiring and crazy on me. It was quite an impromptu plan, which we book like not months before but weeks, maybe one or two just for a short trip.

So for those of you that don’t know how to get to Montigo Resort, Nongsa, you will have to get a ticket that shows from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to Nongsapura Ferry Terminal. The ride will last about 45 minutes, even faster and cheaper than a plane for a short gateaway. 

 When you reach the Terminal, there will be people shouting “Montigo Resorts, Nongsa” so just follow them and they will guide you to the shuttle bus. The journey from Nongsapura to Montigo Resorts, Nongsa was about 5 minutes if i am not wrong.

What mades your day brighter than a friendly smile and their super lovely mascot to greet you upon arrival at Montigo Resorts, Nongsa. The first thing b saw it was like, "OHMY IS THAT YOU?" lol. Does it really look like me?
The amazing view you get to see when you explore the area, it's just magnificent and beautiful. You get to be the Kings & Queens there throughout the entire stay, you barely need to walk. But it’s kinda a chance that you will be fat cause of your laziness but who cares, I’m in paradise. Be prepared to be spending ALL your time in Montigo Resorts’ compound.
Time to check-in to our Villa. For 2 person, this is definitely a pretty big villa. On the first floor, it's our living room and our personal swimming pool. Going up to the second floor, it will be the bedrooms. Each bedroom has a toilet in it, just the master bedroom has a bigger bathroom. Lastly, the rooftop, is just the exact chilling spot to be at, so wide and spacious.

Afraid your children will be bored there, fret not. There is a wide range of activities for kids to enjoy. Presenting you the Tilo Kids Club.

Let me introduce to you my favorite restaurant in Montigo Resorts, Nongsa, TADD'S. Trying out their Rijsttafel Set. This set is definitely mean for 2 person or maybe 3 if you don't eat much. Rijsttafel set consist of yellow or white rice (I would highly recommend you to mix both), mixed vegetables on coconut gravy, spicy tiger prawn, wok fry squid chili lime soya sauce, grilled fillet of snapper green and red chili sambal, chicken stew on coconut yellow broth, beef stew in Batavia style, and lastly the sweet corn fritter. I would highly recommend this, is just taste dam good. My favorite will definitely be the grilled fillet of snapper green and red chili sambal, the fish taste really fresh, tender and it actually melts in your mouth. B's favorite was the Batavia style beef stew, he legit finished it all.

There are others that you could try it out on that menu, like you can get to make your own pasta, the desserts, etc...

What’s paradise without pampering your body with an Award Winning Luxury Spa. It’s a classic experience that you shouldn’t miss. After lunch we decided to indulge ourself with some good relaxing massage. So we were asked to pick the kind of full body massage that we would like and the choice of smell to it. I took the relaxing one cause it's lavender! #myfavouritesmell After filling up the indemnity form and choosing the fragrance, we were brought into one of the huts facing the sea and prepared ourself by changing into the rope before we begin our spa. Both of us did enjoy ourselves relaxing during the process, we slept through it. I would say the sound of the wave was really relaxing and help to clear my mind and have a good 45 minutes of sleep. So after the massage, we were brought into another room where they serve us some soothing drink and biscuits to bite on before heading back to the room to rest.

One of my checklist is to actually have a romantic candle light dinner with my partner by the pool/beach and yeah! I can finally tick this off my checklist. The best night ever in my entire life, i felt like i was the happiest person on earth. The place was quiet, all we could hear is the wave crashing to the shore, it was a very peaceful yet fulfilling candlelight. 
Let me share the what i ate with you, and please bear with me if the quality is really bad cause my camera died on me. 
1. Poach Pear Salad (Scottish Smoked Salmon with Mix Green)
2. Chicken Consume (Chicken Wanton and Veggie)
3. Herb Crusted Red Snapper Steak
4. Classic Tiramisu
Breakfast Spread at Tadd's //

TIIGO beach club is cool across every detail. Unwind in the comfort of shaded outdoor loungers, at the sand park or on the cabana beds, as you lazily gaze out at the magical Montigo sunset. If you have more than enough time there, why not try out their cooking class. I honestly had a fun time learning on how to cook. Let me proudly present my two dish that i cooked with b to you. I honestly think, this is a great experience to learn a few of their local dish, which is like a skill that can be brought back home (Singapore) and cook for those who have not tried their local dish yet.
2 days 1 night just pass so fast, i'm missing the place already. If you are deciding on planning a trip here, this are a few places that you can take your ootd at. I honestly think that Montigo Resorts, Nongsa has you covered from every aspect. By that i mean even wifi is free, which means you don’t have to get a sim card or on your data roaming. #moneysaved

Always wanted to go somewhere like Maldives, maybe for now you can try out Montigo Resorts, Nongsa.
