Holiday season is just around the corner and some of you might be taking this opportunity to organise trips with loved ones to form memorable moments.
Themed staycations in the city offer patrons a one-of-a-kind experience in a comfortable space equipped with modern facilities. While the standard staycation is about enjoying the features of a hotel or resort, themed staycations focus on a certain highlight feature or activity that cater to the specific needs of patrons.
They’re ideal if you want to plan something personalised for someone or an off-the-beaten-path kind of experience.
