There are some very nice features of this resort located on Sentosa Island. You are close to Universal Studios and all the features surrounding it. There is a frequent bus shuttle run by the hotel, to Singapore that drops you off near the MRT and runs till @ 11.30pm. It is family friendly with a kids pool and rides, and many activities for kids during the day. The beach is nice to look at but not really a beach and you can see all the cargo ships docked beyond the created beach.
Don't come here for the beach. The setting is filled with tropical vegetation and there is a nice feel to the openness of the public floors.
I was there during 2012 Chinese New Year and it was very festive.
Breakfast is a chaotic affair. Th selections overall are excellent but they are understaffed and the room is noisy. They have a quiet room where you can eat but it is not a nice setting.
I love Shangrila properties but I don't think one measures up to the usual standards. I had to call to get my room made upon 2 days and then just made a point of calling to let them know I wanted my room done when I left. There is an almost absence to concierge service in the lobby. The other staff try to make up for that but I was given mis-information on 2 occasions.
The rooms are smaller than most at Shangrila properties.
I would not go back. I would opt to stay within Singapore.
