Short anniversary escape to Malacca. We always love this historic town. This time we chose to stay at Casa Del Rio. Its located in the middle of the town, nearby jonker street and hardrock cafe. Best night view you can get here as the hotel is also located in front of Malacca river. The hotel facilities were excellent the staff is friendly and helpful and very efficient. The food is good! Feels like home!#awesomepic #deliciousfood #urbanexplorer #celebratewithtrip

#malaka The good thing about Casa del Rio is its location. Situated right beside the most important river in the olden days, the river view is absolutely lovely. Other than that, the casa itself is quite tired and seriously need some improvement. The river, which is Malacca River is green in color and surprisingly clean (we were there right after covid restrictions were lifted) and thousands of years ago, traders from all over the world sailed along this river and Malacca became a very important trading site in South East Asia. To get the most experience of the Malacca River, it is best to just walk leisurely along the river bank, watching the tourist boats cruising and admiring the nice views of old shops during ancient Melaka. Both day and night views are awesome though and do get the river view room, on a higher floor if you are booking with Casa Del Rio. #mytripvlog #tripblazers

📍Another weekend trip to Malacca this new year!😍 This time i stayed at hotel overlooking the well known Malacca river. Malacca is a World Heritage City and most attractions & historical monuments here are well-maintained since the Dutch colonization period. With Malacca river at the centre flows through the Malacca city, this heritage city offers many attractions and historical buildings alongside the river. Some of the buildings were painted with colourful & creative murals. ✨You can enjoy day or night stroll along the river (the cost is free!) by following the brick looking path and/or pedestrian walkway alongside the Malacca river. They also provide maps at few pitstop near the bridge. Of course I prefer a night stroll with cold windy breeze😂 ✨Leisurely night stroll along the river and you may encounter the Makan Avenue, the Waronk cafe (famous eateries), the Hard Rock Cafe, Jonker Walk, the Melaka River Cruise, the Quayside Hotel and even the 5 star Casa Del Rio Melaka. Not to forget, take your time to wander through the alleys in the neighborhoods. Surely worth a visit!✨ #tripblazers #awesomepic #couplestrip #urbanexplorer #explore #trip #travel #nightwalk #malaccariver #malacca #goingplaces

Situated within the heart of Jonker Walk Malacca (about 3 mins away), lies beautiful Portuguese boutique hotel - Casa del Rio. Well deserving of its 5⭐️ accolades, CDR has well earned my respect. The service experience from start to finish was well beyond my expectations. We were first greeted with a cold Malaysian dessert upon arrival, the service staff had organized our night cruise at an affordable rate (CDR has their own jetty so you wouldn’t have queue at those long lines at Jonker for the same experience) & since it was my relative’s birthday, they even surprised our room with a free personalized birthday dessert! Each room has a Portuguese-styled patio; we opted for river-view so we could watch the river cruises flow by/ Jonker lights every night! And although it might be loud from the Jonker walk bustle, CDR’s rooms are soundproofed from the noise from the outside ensuring a good night’s sleep. #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #malaysia #malacca #resort #awesomepic #explore

#malaccatrip The River Grill at Casa del Rio Melaka is a charming riverside restaurant that serves a mix of local and Western dishes in a relaxing setting. Overlooking the Melaka River, it’s a lovely spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Breakfast is buffet-style with options like nasi lemak, dim sum, and eggs cooked to order. Lunch features comfort food such as pasta, buttermilk chicken burger, and Nyonya laksa. In the evening, the atmosphere turns cozy and romantic, with dishes like Wagyu tenderloin and pan-seared sea bass paired nicely with a glass of wine. On weekends, their afternoon tea is worth checking out – a nice mix of sweet and savory treats with coffee or tea. You can choose to sit indoors or dine al fresco by the river. Located just a short walk from Jonker Street, it’s a great stop after exploring the area. They also host themed dinners during festive seasons.

I guarantee you will fall in love with Casa del Rio Melaka's luxurious and spacious bathroom. The decor is elegant with wooden furniture, intricate tiles and warm lighting making it feel both homely and upscale. That's why their tagline is 'Welcome Home' although it's your first time. This room - Deluxe Lago Riverside has a private balcony overlooking the amazing Melaka River. The room is furnished with wooden accents, plush bedding and modern amenities. Don't skip to take a dip in the infinity pool on the rooftop with breathtaking views of the Melaka River until Malacca Straits. Gym and spa also available just one level below. 💞Reasons to Recommend: The best thing when staying here is the complimentary bicycle rent (Free for 2 hours) to explore the surrounding heritage sites nearby like Jonker Walk, Stadthuys & Christ Church and A Famosa. The hotel’s main restaurant, The River Grill serves a mix of local and international cuisine. At night, I sat at table chit-chatting and could hear the busking not far from there. Truly a stay to remember and I will definitely 'Come Home' again. #poolhotel #melaka #riverviewhotel

#malaysiatrip Casa del Rio Melaka is nestled by the Melaka river with glimpses of the Straits of Melaka… staying here is like staying in a haven of old-world charm and rich history. This gorgeous and stylish boutique hotel celebrates Melaka's diverse cultural heritage, from Portuguese influences to early Arab traders and Straits Chinese touches, but at a first look it does also feel and look like a Spanish Hacienda…. I had the most comfortable stay at their Studio Lago/River King room which came with also a custom-built daybed that can transform into a cosy full bed in the evening if you have kids….. It is also blissful just lazing at the expansive private balcony overlooking the historic Melaka River or soaking up the sun in the rooftop pool… #travel #thingstodo #resorts #familytravel #staycation #bytheriver #melakacity #melakatrip

The hotel facilities are also very complete, with a swimming pool, private deck, and bicycle rental, which is especially suitable for family vacations. 🛌 Room experience The design and decoration of the room are very exquisite, and every detail is taken care of. There is a large luxury bed for a good night's sleep. There is also a large bathtub in the room, which is great for a bath. Free snacks and a large TV are also a plus, and the kids were cheering. We also especially liked the clothes rack on the balcony, which was very convenient for drying clothes in the afternoon. Although the facilities are a bit old, they are well maintained and very clean. 📍 Nearby recommendations Jonker Street is within walking distance from the hotel, and it's super convenient for shopping and eating. We especially recommend going there at night to experience the atmosphere of the night market. There are also many interesting museums nearby, such as the Naval Museum and the Customs Museum.

We spent three nights in Melacca, where we discovered a charming little town that feels reminiscent of Venice. Our next three nights will be in Singapore, and from here, we had the option of taking a taxi, bus, or flight. Unfortunately, there were no flights available on January 7th. The taxi only takes you to the border, and personalized transport was only offered by a travel agency, which charged us the same amount as the luxury bus ticket. There are several bus companies that offer services from Melacca to various locations in Singapore, with prices starting at 70 MYR per person. Regardless of the company, all buses take approximately the same time, around 4 hours, depending on customs. We chose the luxury coach for 160 MYR per person because they have very spacious seats that recline comfortably. A few important notes: - Companies like 707 send your ticket via email, but you need to make a check in either online or at the counter. - All buses, regardless of the company, have similar travel times. - All buses will make one or two stops at gas stations. - It is your responsibility to complete your entry form for Singapore online. - If you haven’t completed the online form beforehand, you may be left behind and picked up by the next bus, which can delay your travel.

second time staying at Casa Del Rio and it doesn't disappoint. the rooms are big and comfortable, and the best part is the location.. it is literally steps away from the start of Jonker Street. the pool is also nice and spacious, and provides a bird's eye view of Melaka.

I had a wonderful stay at the Casa Del Rio hotel in Malacca. The services were excellent, and the room was enormous. The view from the balcony was likewise spectacular, as depicted in the photo. The breakfast was delicious. We were celebrating our anniversary and mentioned it in the comments section when booking the accommodation, and to our surprise, the room was beautifully decorated with flowers, balloons, and towel swans. They also handed us a cake that was truly out of this planet; we had never tasted anything like it outdoors. Will definitely return! Jonker Street is also only a 5-minute walk away! It is quite convenient. #Melaka #freehotelstay

Situated on the bank of the Melaka River, the hotel is a stone’s throw from Jonker Street, which comes alive at night, with night market stalls galore and brightly lit and loud trishaws that you cannot miss. The hotel is a world away from the hustle and bustle of old Melaka. Close your eyes, open then again and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into Spain! Stepping into the hotel and the first thing you’ll notice is the central courtyard. The hotel is stunning, both in the day and especially at night. Definitely a good place to unwind after a whole day of exploring the nooks and cranny of Jonker Street. The rooftop infinity pool also allows you a panoramic view of the river. You can also catch sunrise and sunset from the pool. I highly recommend the hotel to everyone :) #wheretogo
