度假不一定要把行程排得满满当当。有时候，最棒的旅行就是把度假村本身当成目的地。在迪沙鲁海岸威斯汀度假酒店 (The Westin Desaru Coast Resort)，你完全不用大老远跑出去折腾——因为吃喝玩乐在度假村里应有尽有。这份我们亲身体验后整理的【懒人玩乐指南】，带你把酒店里的宝藏玩法一次解锁！
入住期间，随时可以找酒店热情的康乐团队 (Recreation team) 帮忙安排活动。不管你是想在室内躺平放松、去户外尽情探索，还是两样都要，他们都会帮你安排得妥妥当当，绝对让你元气满满。
为了帮你省心，我们特意梳理了一份三天两夜的周末精选参考行程，完美兼顾了休闲与探索。当然啦，具体活动可能会根据每周安排微调，户外项目也会受天气影响。一般来说，周末和学校假期的活动会更加丰富多彩。
第一天：抵达度假村
度假村入住时间是下午 4:00，但你的假期从踏入大堂的那一刻就已经正式开启了！如果提早到了也没关系，先去前台办个登记，房间一准备好，工作人员就会立刻通知你。
园林漫步 (上午 7:00 – 下午 7:00)
在等房间的空档，你可以顺着三条风景绝佳的植物步道到处走走，好好感受度假村里满眼的绿意：Umbisi Botanical Trail、Belantara Botanical Trail 和 Belukar Botanical Trail。
沿着 Umbisi Botanical Trail 散步极其轻松惬意。路旁贴心设有长椅，随时能坐下来享受四周的宁静。
如果你住的是露台客房 (Garden Terrace)，推开门就能直接走到这条步道上。这种一出门就被满眼绿植包围的感觉，真的太疗愈了！
走得更深入一点，Belantara Botanical Trail 会带你穿梭在高大的树荫下，走起来格外清凉舒爽。
如果你对奇异的植物感兴趣，一路上的植物都挂着标识牌。如果是带小朋友来，这绝对是一堂生动的自然科普课！
要是想看点不一样的风光，Belukar Botanical Trail 会带你来到一座开满睡莲的静谧水池边。
在这里能认识更多植物，其中很多还是本地常见的传统香料或草药。
除了自己随性闲逛，你还可以参加每天下午 5:00 从酒店大堂出发的免费导览游，由专人带你深入探索这片秘密花园。
自助晚餐 (下午 6:30 – 晚上 10:30)
逛完花园正好开饭，直接去 Seasonal Tastes 餐厅享用一顿丰盛的自助晚餐吧！虽然主题会随季节更替，但新鲜的海鲜和各国美味，每次去都让人大饱口福。
