Elysium

In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined planet. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the crime and poverty that is now rampant throughout the land. The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission - one that pits him against Elysium's Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces - but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.

Next to the Ocean

The closest as one could get to the ocean ... the RWS Ocean Suites. The moment I saw the offer for RWS Invites member at $1288 nett, I knew we had to grab it :) It comes with spa and breakfast for two but we skipped the spa as we couldn't leave A & B alone. During check-in, the lady kept encouraging us to try the spa, sounded good ... oh well ... 24-hr butler and buggy service were included with the stay too.

The bed facing the aquarium. Wifi reception at this level was bad though.

The upper level with outdoor jacuzzi. There is also an additional bathroom there.

The kids had so much fun up and down this flight of stairs.

Complimentary fruits from RWS Invites. A and B were so excited over the grapes!

This was a pleasant surprise and matched the ocean theme definitely.

View from the bedroom. It's actually the viewing gallery on the opposite end. We could vaguely make out the silhouettes of the visitors and the occasional camera flash. We were told they may also make out our forms if we stand right next to the viewing window. That's why, when the blind was drawn up, the lights in the room were automatically dimmed.

Dinner was at Starz Restaurant, Hard Rock Hotel.

The on-call buggy service to bring us around.

The area in front of the bed could be opened up to reveal a bathtub for a soak. Bath salts from ESPA was provided. For us, it was the kids that enjoyed it.

We really loved the stay. It's so different staying right next to the fishes, compared to other hotels.
