East Coast Chalet?

• crazyger

  Hi

   

  i know about the new east coast chalets that are actually meant for tourists (cos they are really expensive  ). howevery i remember reading somewhere that they actually intended to leave a portion for s'poreans on budget, just like how it was last time.

   

  does anyone know if these budget chalets at east coast are still available? or did i read/remember wrongly? where/how can i book one if it is still available? and what are the rates like?

   

  the new chalet (islandresort.com.sg) rates are 198/night!!!! for a 2 night stay i can fly to bangkok for 4 days

   

  or am i really stuck at pasir ris chalets liao. just went there recently and another friend wanted to organise another chalet. i feel quite stupid to repeat the same thing at the same place (he refuses to go to the pasir ris one, insist on going to the downtown east one again) within 1 month. i was hoping at least get a change of scenery by going to the east coast one..

   

  any thoughts?

  yes i know costa sands got one at downtown east and another called pasir ris (the old UDMC)

   

  the problem is my friend does not want to go to the ex-UDMC ones, but i felt it is too boring and silly to repeat the same chalet/BBQ routine at the same chalet room facing the same scenery. well i have a stubborn friend.

   

  so i was hoping maybe we change to east coast and both sides happy

  the key to having fun at chalet is not the room or scenery, but what kind of activities u guys plan to do....

  well we are lookin for beach area, cheap ones, so since nobody is a safra memeber (in fact lookin for a ntuc member already was tough for us) we are stuck with costa sands resort. i was just hoping to try my luck see can go to east coast one.

   

  again, my stubborn friend's idea of chalet is sleep, watch tv, drink beer, relac. i dont know, maybe i hang out with the wrong set of friends. but what to do? im interested in BBQ n some social activity, but i wont coup myself in the room. but yet its not very fun to go to a chalet as a group but leave some to sleep and the rest go off doing other things..

   

  i guess i need to complain to my friend more than complain here eh? sigh..

  me think the prob lies with ur frens.
  
  sometimes a small group chalet is easier to plan...
  like.. 5 to 6 ppl...
  
  no need to be in the room or the chalet compounds whole day whole night...
  can all go watch movie or ghost hunting

  HAaa our groups IS 5-6 people

  actually its just that 1 guy only lah. i dont know, i mean the most straight forward solution is to really just leave him there alone if he wants to do that, but erm i guess im also soft hearted and i feel bad to leave 1 person in the room while the rest of us go galavanting

  anyway it really was in the newspapers that the east coast chalet will leave 1 section for budget-style holidayers. i was just askin if anyone know where to book it, cos when i called island resort they only gave me 1 price.

  if really no choice than as you said, i will juz plan full of activities, whether he wants to go ornot is his bizz..

   

  thanks for all the replies..

  any further suggestions also still welcomed..
