Traveling To Houttuyn Wellness River Resort In Suriname

 Traveling to Houttuyn Wellness River Resort

Hello friends, I am happy to be back with another Story Time episode right here in warm tropical Suriname. As you guys read in my previous blogger note, I just turned 31 on the 29th of October! I spent my birthday at Houttuyn Wellness River Resort in Suriname. When I first decided to take my blog in a different direction, this was one of the first hotels in Suriname that I approached for an interview. It took me almost two years from then on to get my blog monetized. I'm so proud of how far I've come with Story Time productions! Thanks to the support of my audience I get to blog more often about the things I love! Most of the time that involves food and travel.😍 My life in Suriname can often get hectic. A lot of my free time goes into the social work that I do. But in the future, I hope to find a better balance. That way I can share my adventures more often. There are still a lot of stories that I have yet to post. So make sure you subscribe or hop onto that Story Time U.F.O. when it pops onto your screen.👽👾🛸 I never imagined how far my content creation journey would take me! I went back to Houttuyn Wellness River Resort to personally experience what it's like to stay at this Surinamese hotel. Normally when you book a room at this river resort you're supposed to check in at 3 pm. But because I had misread the information about my massage booking I thought that I had to be there early in the morning. At 8 am in the morning, I was already on the road. Houttuyn Wellness River Resort is located in the district of Wanica. As I mentioned before in my blog, Suriname has 10 districts. On your way there you'll notice a lot of Surinamese companies hard at work. I took some shots of that to share what life in Suriname is like for you guys. It didn't take long for us to arrive at the popular Surinamese river resort. It was only when I arrived at the reception desk that I realized my mistake. 😒😤But hey, they do say that everything happens for a reason! I managed to find relaxation right beside the Suriname River. It's only a pity that the grass was a bit high, or else the view would have been even more breathtaking. I almost fell asleep on one of the beds next to the pool. Sorry for the hotel guests who had to watch me drool.😂🤤I guess that happens if you pull an all-nighter. I was so excited not to miss that massage appointment. It was a gift from a friend. Thanks for hooking me up girl. 💓 Anyway It seemed that when I got to the resort, they were just starting with breakfast. Normally you'd have to pay an extra $15 to join breakfast in a situation like this. But thankfully the staff was understanding and took pity on us. So we got to sit in at breakfast. Compared to the breakfast that I had during my last hotel sleepover, this was certainly a delightful upgrade! Shivers on the inside as I remember the bread with sardines for breakfast.😰😨😫 I got to drink coffee beside the Suriname River. This seems to be one of my favorite things to do in my country. I've drank coffee beside the Suriname River from the deep south to the north.😍😎 I have to admit that the atmosphere at this resort is relaxing. For breakfast, I started off with a salad. It had lettuce, tomatoes,, cucumbers, and carrots in it. The dressing was next level though!😱🤤 Compliments to the chef! The sauce packed flavor into the salad. We got to pick from 3 dishes to combine with our bread. You were also allowed to choose your bread. I chose brown bread for my first breakfast at Houttuyn Wellness River Resort. As for the bread fillings, they offer 3 choices. You could have bread with egg, which I didn't feel like having for my birthday breakfast, to be frank.😒 It's a good thing that they have options at the restaurant of Houttuyn Wellness River Resort. You could also pick between smoked fish or "Iwa Malem", as we locals like to call it, and shoarma chicken.  I chose the Iwa Malem and Stew opted for the shoarma chicken.  I tasted both of the bread toppings. The shoarma chicken had strong flavors from its seasoning. Out of the two I like the smoked fish better. Its flavors weren't too overwhelming for my tastebuds and each bite made me crave more! We also got a bowl of fruit and some pancakes for our early morning meal. I topped my pancakes with chocolate syrup!😋🍫 I loved the pancakes and the roasted fish tasted amazing.😍With a full stomach I went to rest on one of the lounge chairs. Once my food went down, I went for a swim. At Houttuyn Wellness River Resort, even if you arrive before your check-in you are allowed to use the pool. In the background, you could hear birds sing as I marveled at the beauty of this natural wooden-themed hotel in the middle of nature. When it was 2 P.M. I got the message that we were allowed to check in earlier into our Midi Cabana.But that's for our next Story Time Episode. Right now, I hope you'll enjoy this vlog that I made from my travels to Houttuyn Wellness River Resort in Suriname.😁😀 This is the beauty of my country, a jewel hidden in the Caribbean/South America. I look forward to our next adventure together. Are you planning your own travels soon? Check out Expedia for great packages and deals.
