The overall quality of service was good. Food & beverage was excellent and interesting.
The resort is located right next to Siloso Beach and occupies a great spot on the western tip of Sentosa Island.
The Waterfront Lawn F&B outlet is a great place to hold outdoor parties with a great view of the setting sun.
If you need to hold a conference within 30 mins from Singapore's CBD, but at a beach location and within reach of Theme park attractions such as Underwater world & historical sites such as Fort Siloso ( both 5 mins walk from the resort), then this resort is ideal.
The resort offers great views of the beach and the sea to the south of Singapore.
However, do not expect total peace and quiet.
The resort is right next to one of the world's busiest port, so if you get a sea facing view, you also get great views of big oil tankers, ocean liners, and Pulau Bukom refinery in the horizon (my photo explains it all). So if sea transportation and refineries are your thing, this is perfect....I must say that the lights from the ships are very picturesque at night.
Expect to be awakened by the loud horns of the ships, tugboats and ferries in the morning!
However, the resort overcomes these distractions by offering great food and services. Theme: HotelPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageDirections: West Sentosa Island

OVERVIEW
A truly extraordinary experience! My boyfriend and I stayed at the Rasa Sentosa Resort in August 2009 for 4 nights and had the most enjoyable and relaxing vacation ever! The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful and accommodating the entire time, and we were 100% satisfied with the service.The staff there made our holiday memorable. Although only a 4 day holiday, it felt like we were there on the island for a month because everyday was spent doing so many different and wonderful activities.
I researched various hotel and resort accommodation before choosing Rasa Sentosa, and I read many reviews of the resort, the majority of which had nothing but positive things to say. My advice to anyone who does come across some of the reviews which complain about the 'floral-print on the bed covers, the small and ancient TV and outdated decor in the rooms':disregard it completely-who cares?! After all, who goes to a magnificently beautiful tropical island resort to spend their time in their room watching TV and staring at the linen anyway????
GOOD
Where to begin? From the exceptionally welcoming and friendly resort staff who made every guest feel like royalty, to the beautiful views from the balcony overlooking the pool, to the luxurious and relaxing island atmosphere, to the magical ambience of the beach shore just a single step away from the resort pool area....it was all just so perfect!
NOT SO GOOD
(This has nothing to do with the hotel), but I must note that the sleazy Indian men all around Siloso Beach made going swimming a little uncomfortable at times to say the least.
EVERYTHING WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL! The views were incredible, the sea water as warm as a bath and the palm trees magnificent! Theme: HotelComparison: more expensive than average

I was definitely expecting a better standard of hotel than what awaited. The Shangri-La is looking old and tired. The rooms could do with a makeover, the balconies desperately need repainting, most of the plants in the planters are dead, dying or non existent. We had 3 adults to a room, but when we arrived all that was supplied was a fold out bed, where I swear I could feel every single spring in my body whenever I moved as well as the rod of the fold out bed. Needless to say, not a great first night.
That said, the pool was awesome, the food was wonderful, we definitely enjoyed the day spa and the location couldn't be faulted.
There is a shuttle bus that runs from the hotel to the harbourfront every 20 minutes.
Beautiful location and views, staff were friendly, monkeys in the trees and peacocks roaming the grounds, lovely pool, fantastic spa and food. Situated on Siloso Beach. There seemed to be no shortage to the amount of things to do, lots of organised activities and special theme nights at the restaurants.
