Dinner usually refers to what is in many Western cultures the biggest and most formal meal of the day. Historically, the largest meal used to be eaten around midday, and called dinner. Especially among the elite, it gradually migrated to later in the day over the 16th to 19th centuries. The word has different meanings depending on culture, and may mean a meal of any size eaten at any time of day. In particular, it is still sometimes used for a meal at noon or in the early afternoon on special occasions, such as a Christmas dinner. In hot climates, the main meal is more likely to be eaten in the evening, after the temperature has fallen.
Lunch is a meal eaten around the middle of the day. It is commonly the second meal of the day, after breakfast, but before dinner, and varies in size by culture and region.
A staycation (a portmanteau of "stay" and "vacation"), or holistay (a portmanteau of "holiday" and "stay"), is a period in which an individual or family stays home and participates in leisure activities within day trip distance of their home and does not require overnight accommodation. In the UK, the term has increasingly come to refer to domestic tourism: taking a holiday in one's own country as opposed to traveling abroad, as well as to staying home and participating in leisure activities within day trip distance of home and not requiring overnight accommodation.
Common activities of a staycation include the use of a backyard pool, visits to local parks and museums, and attendance at local festivals and amusement parks. Some staycationers also like to follow a set of rules, such as setting a start and end date, planning ahead, and avoiding routine, with the goal of creating the feel of a traditional vacation.
Staycations achieved popularity in the U.S. during the Great Recession in the late 2000s. In 2020 staycations became common due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The staycation trip was really great. To celebrate my hubby’s birthday and our anniversary, we took our kids together and we all had lots of fun. The lunch buffet was at the average standard. The afternoon tea was arranged in the banquet room coz the lounges on both levels were all full. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet. We took the kids to Hong Kong park and they were very happy. The hotel arranged a birthday cake and a bottle of champagne for us. The hotel room is clean and service is excellent. Thanks for the arrangement. We would definitely come again!

The staff service was good and we got an update to a better grade room. Buffet food is average and it was a bit disappointing that drinks were not included and we needed to pay $88 for soft drinks. The renovation was good though it was a bit worn out.

the most impressive thing that I experienced was the room service. I ordered food from the restaurant, then they set the time to deliver the food to my room. When it arrived, you don’t have to worry if the food will get cold. And the food i ordered was delicious. Had a really good view and relaxing night in Conrad HK. Recommended !!
