sentosa siloso beach resort



Where : Sentosa
Date : 24th to 25th 08 (Mon, Tue)

In the end the whole thing did not follow the itinerary.

Supposed to meet at 11am. Only Wah Seng, Jalal and Yvonne made in on time.
I got stuck in traffic and Choon Ching late as he need to see doctor for his sore throat ????

While waiting for late comers, the early birds went to buy tidbits at Giant.
We then had lunch at Chicken rice shop at Vivo. Not bad at all.


We took Sentosa Express. As we have made reservations at hotel, we need not pay for the entrance.



(See WS so excited. New sandals and bermudas heeheh )

To get to hotel from Beach Station. You need to take the blue train and stop at Cafe Del Mar. Its actually not that far from Beach Station but i'm too lazy to walk so convinced them to take tram hahahaha . The weather so far so good.. sunny, hot and humid. (not my kinda weather actually)



First glance of the Resort. By the way this is the back entrance. It's just infront of Cafe Del Mar. This is also where we had our breakfast. Back entrance is on Ground Floor. As the hotel is right by a slope, the reception area is on the 7th Floor.


I've to admit, first impression not that good as we have to walk a few turns from back door to lift and then need to take lift up 7th floor. But once out lift we were plesantly surprise by the beautiful landscape.



Man-made waterwall. You can stand below it and slide down the slide into the pool.


The Reception is very small glass cube quite far from rooms. To get there, you'll have to walk mini bridge, surrounded by trees. It's very pretty but i was busy imagining how the place will look like at night so i didn't soak up the view.

Waterwall taken from reception area. Wish hubby can join me then.



Expensive Internet Access


Gorgeous right?


Outside Reception area


See the bridge to reception? It's not covered by the way. So they leave couple umbrellas at end of each side of the planks for use.



Official check in is at 3pm. But the girl is kind to allow us to check in 1 room first while they readied the adjoining room for us. We requested for higher floor with nice view. So the boys got their room first. Room 725

The room is modern and clean. Room ammenities inc flat screen TV, bathtub, separate shower cubicle, minifridge, minisafe, hairdryer, cofee and tea maker, toiletries,

This is a bad shot. This shot does not do justice to the room.


View from room.


The rest of the room. CC getting comfortable. WS still thinking of work. Keep checking wat "CABLE" channel they have there. Duh... !!



Shower cubicle. I didn't take the bathtub.

We dumped our bags the rest relax a bit while waiting for Jalal and me to finish our prayers.

The plan is Luge + Skyride -> Vivo -> CC Birthday meal -> YY go school -> Watch Movie or Song of the Sea while waiting for YY -> back to hotel shower -> fetch yy from beach station -> Cafe Del Mar.

But first... we need to look for that KOI farm JL so very much wanted to see. We even bought 1 box of Koi food. So we took Sentosa Express and went to Imbiah Station. We asked around and seems like no staff there no of the existance of the Koi pond.We were told that the only area with fishes is the Underwater World so off we go to check out.

JL saw in the map something bout fish reflexology. hmmm how fishy... (turns out it's spa centre where they ask u soak your feet in this pool and the fish will eat away your dead skin.. then followed by body massage) How dissapointed

Sad... no Koi in sight. Only saw Cobra, Turtle, Stingray and small fishes.

We hopped the next bus back to Cable Car station. And paid for our Luge Ride
Luge is fun. WHat is not is the SKY RIDE. Scary factor is 8. The next scary thing for me will be stuff like reverse bungy all that. I kid you not... i was making alot noise and say keep telling yy not to move or make noise cos i'm so worried the slightest movement might bring the whole thing down hahahahaha .

Another embarrasing thing, i took the ride with just YY, so i was sitting at one end and Yvonne another end. The boys were behind us and they were laughing as our car was tilting to 1 side (i'm heavy mah). But it was only much later then i realise what they were laughing at.. duhh


The boys on SkyRide
pssstt : WS confess he was afraid too ... shhyyyyy don't tell him i say this



THat's all ... to be continued... Anybody volunteer ???

Author update on 27th March
