“Good value for $$”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

person found this review helpful

IF you're NTUC club card holder, you can get the room at $119/ night (sometimes cheaper for more than 1 night). I guess, it's one the cheapest hotel (budget) in Sentosa.

Usual price will be $209/ night.

I stayed there for 3D 2N. The room is clean but a little small. Overall it's still comfortable.

There's swimming pool and BBQ pit. There's convenient store that sells Satay & chicken wings for BBQ.
**Take note that you need to buy the food from this store for BBQ. But it's more for large gathering and they don't sell it in small quantity.

It's near to "Beach Station" and there's McDonald's nearby (2 mins walking).

They also provided,

- Television set with Cable TV Channels
- Mini fridge
- Coffee & Tea
- boiler
- Free Wi-Fi access
- hair dryer

What I like about this hotel is location, good value for $$ :)

Room Tip: Get a room that facing the pool side. Some comes with balcony. :)

“Very pleasant and friendly place”

We had a great time at this resort. It was clean & the bed comfortable. There was a Chinatown food shop just in the resort with great local food and coffee at affordable price. The pool was just in the middle of the resort, we were able to walk down have a dip in the pool, buy lunch and eat besides the pool.

We could walk to the beach if we wanted and also to Sentosa Beach Station leisurely.

The atmosphere was relaxed and we had 2 BBQs for friends in the resort. We rented the BBQ for $8, and they cleaned up the whole place before we were even awake the next morning. The grocery shop had what we needed for the BBQ and even catered if we needed.

Manager Selamat was extremely nice, took the time to have a chat with us and even helped to reserve the car space as my friend had to pick her children from Universal Studio.

This resort was comfortable and we felt very relaxed without too many restrictions like the hotel next door. It was remarkable as this was peak period during the new year's celebration, they were able to keep up to their standards. We will definitely come back to stay.

“Never coming here again!!!”

This place is crap. We booked two rooms and requested one to be twin.even though they said it was subject to availability they never informed us that it wasnt. so we had to pay an additional $35 for a mattress and no blanket was provided. Staff at the counter was also rude. The toilet is old and dirty and we felt better off not not using the shower. Even though they said Internet was available its always limited connectivity and the persin said to try after 11pm.wtf!!!

“Have low expectations and you'll like this place!”

Stayed with wife and 3 young kids. Paid $109 per night. Minus points: Rooms were incredibly small; room had a very stale smell; Ants in the room; Low water pressure in the shower; Not kid friendly (too many steps and no kids pool); housekeeping every 2 days; only 4 parking lots. Plus points: Great location (Siloso beach is just downstairs and there is a really nice hang out place called the wavehouse there); free internet in the lobby; staff was friendly; cafe with cheap food.

“One of the more affordable accommodation in Sentosa”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011 via mobile

people found this review helpful

We needed a place to sleep for a night after a full day at USS and this place met our basic requirements at an affordable price.
There is no lift at the hotel but staff were helpful with bringing baggages to our room. The deluxe room has a double bed that fit 1 adult & 2 children (under 12). Bed sheets, towels were clean, basic toiletries, hot beverages, fridge, tv were provided. Unfortunately there were ants in the room that attacked food left in loose containers. The aircon remote was fixed on the wall and we were unable to change aircon settings.
There is a cafe attached to the hotel that offers quite a variety of hot meals cooked to your order at very reasonable prices, for all 3 meals.
The hotel pool is nice after a hot day, and beach is accessible from hotel. Location is superb, with beach tram stop just behind the hotel so getting to/from beach station was easy.
Overall it is a budget range hotel for cost conscious travelers and those who just need a place to sleep after all the activities at Sentosa.
