  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Satisfaction:
  • had a fren who stayed there. they took a suite with a huge outdoor terrace n a outdoor bathtub.

    Words of advice
    - it has quite a number of corners which eats up the ceiling.
    - as for the restroom it is a little small as the toilet n shower in cramped in a area.
    - it can a little crampy if u r more than 1.8m
    - there wasn't a wardrobe
    - the desk isn't very big. . TV is hung on the wall. LCD type. prob 15-17 inch.

    Unique Qualities: people go there for the unique style n for it's individuality. it's a boutique hotel n it's very near the chinatown n gd food.

    Shangri La Rasa Sentosa Resort: Island stay
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Stayed there last yr Jan. I almost forgot that I was in SG. I took the executive suite which was at the corner. So I had the hill n sea view.

    The sea view is very nice. n our sea looks really blue :p

    The room was 5-star no doubts n the service was equally fabulous :p

    We had a romantic dinner at the Sharkey's, paying premium price but seafood but it was worth it coz the chef actually came out to ask if the food was gd. amazing.

    It's located at Sentosa so Harbourfront , Mount faber n Sentosa will be main attractions. It's quite far from the city area.

    Unique Qualities: Great Sea View !! especially for SG !!

    Goodwood Park Hotel: Luxury....
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Satisfaction:
  • I had my wedding there so I upgraded since it was a once in a life time thingy :p and had the rare chance to stay in the Brunei suite . It was so so big. It has a big verandah which can cater for 30 ppl , a living rm. , a pantry, a dining area, 1 study room complete with all the works. My bedroom came with a walk in wardrobe, n sauna. really felt like a royalty :)

    It's low rise so the rooms r at most 2nd flr. The deluxe room is pretty normal.

    Unique Qualities: They have 2 pools. 1 is the main pool , the other is the private pool for the pool suites. That room is very nice. Tink there r only 8 suites in total. The pool is created in a balinese style n is located near the business area. Quite costly but worth it coz it's near the shopping areas hence after all that u can take a dip in the pool without the fuss of the other guests.

    River View Hotel: value for money
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Satisfaction:
  • Stayed in the deluxe room n it's not bad.

    The junior suite is a real value for money. Standard , it comes with a living area n a room. The best part is it comes with a whirlpool.

    surprising coz Shang didn't have that.

    Saw that Indonesia chinese and Japanese find it quite a gd deal. The staff r also pleasant. It's located near Zouk , one of Singapore partying scene.

     Hello! Thanks for the info on the visitors card. It was the most worthwhile deal I ever made! I was on a strict budget in Singapore but still managed to experience the highlife thanks to the Visitors Card. Cheerz!
