"Good spot for an overnight transit in Singapore. Quiet units on park front but a few minutes walk undercover to shopping centre with plenty of dining options, and short taxi ride to the airport. My kids only complaint was that we didn't have enough time to go to the waterslide park onsite (but with an extra $29 pp entry fee)! "

"We stayed in the adventure room. The room is fine, but the hand wash beside the children’s basin can’t function. I can see that it’s full and loaded, but maybe it’s a problem of the squeezer or something, it won’t come out when I pressed.

"The hotel is fantastic. It met our needs. We had a fantastic stay. Limited dining options are not an issue as there are numerous eating places around the hotel. The only slight downside is that the pool area was a bit too deep for a young pre-schooler still learning to swim. It was also a bit on the cold side and the lack of showering facilities at the pool area meant that people had to return to their rooms to clean up. "
