Sentosa Spa
I stayed there for 4 nights in August 06, the hotel is in a secluded and quiet part of the island, but be warned, it is popular for business incentive groups and celebration parties.
I chose the hotel as I wanted to relax and be pampered, but once had to leave the pool and pay to go to the spa area for the day, due to a very rowdy party being held on the restaurant veranda.
I got a cheap deal on asiarooms.com and a very good room rate, so wasn't too bothered, but if I had paid full price I would have been miffed!
I was allocated a small but elegant room, very comfortable, but obviously the room allocation was due to the discount booking I had made, again, would have been disappointed to get that room if I had paid full price. Again, you get what you pay for, it was acceptable for the price.
I was a bit disappointed in the spa, it was somewhat under staffed, I found it difficult to get an appointment for the treatments I wanted, so had to compromise, it is very expensive also,as spas go!
The relaxation areas were not staffed and sometimes the mud pools did not work or were not serviced and were messy.
The treatments I did have however were superb, but then they should be for the cost!
The treatment rooms were beautiful and very cosy and relaxing.
Unique Quality: The buffet menu was excellent, alot of choice and was clean and well serviced.
I enjoyed the breakfasts, but it was not included on my last day and is expensive as an extra.
The pool area is pleasant but I would say not suitable for young children, the pool tiles were very sharp edged and slippery and you could easily cut yourself on the tiles, some were broken and cracked. However, it was clean enough.
The bar areas were lovely, both the open air piano bar, and the bar at the end of the pool, very relaxing, romantic and atmospheric.
The Island itself was a bit sterile, full of student fresher groups on incentive courses which was abit irritating.
I checked the other hotels on the island and the Sentosa was definately the best one for my purposes as a single traveller wanting to relax though.
