Hong Kong swimming pools with food and drink service

For those of us who arent fortunate enough to have pool facilities at home or membership to one of the city's private clubs it can be difficult to find a reasonabley priced swimming pool with food and drink service.

Public pools are always good value but have very basic facilities and dont allow you to lounge around to read and enjoy lunch and drinks.  Many hotels offer day passes to their pools but these can be quite pricey at HK$500 to $800 per person.  The following are hotel pools which offer full service food and drink for HK$300 or less for a day pass:

LANGHAM HOTEL

A day pass to the their roof top pool is HK$300 which includes use of the gym, changing rooms and sauna.

Use household scraps to create a Kate Spade inspired clutch bag! Upcycling at its best!

 

I just found this great idea online! Create a glamorous preppy Kate Spade style minaudiere (small clutch bag) using just a simple black eye glass case, grosgrain ribbon, a crystal oranament or brooch and some contact cement glue.
