Honest review
A sensible answer to the main Singapore question: how to see the city and still have a holiday, rather than simply change time zones. Stay on Sentosa: from here it is a 10-minute drive to the centre, 25 to Changi airport, and around you — greenery, landscaped grounds and peacocks instead of skyscrapers.
On rooms, the advice is this: the base categories are perfectly worthy — 112 refreshed premium rooms — but the villas with private outdoor pools are another story: take one if you are staying longer than a couple of nights.
By day — three pools, bike rides and excursions, golf at the neighbouring Sentosa Golf Club with its two courses. For recovery after the flight there is a serious spa: 9 treatment rooms, a plunge pool, a steam room, an ice fountain and an experience shower.
Among the small details that give away the level — a library with complimentary snacks and drinks at any hour, magazines and board games. A good choice for a short Singapore stopover, and for anyone fitting the city into an Asian itinerary without sacrificing the holiday.
