Review of Siloso Beach Resort

Wanting a short & quick getaway from the grime of Singapore city, I headed to (gasp!) Sentosa Island! Once banished as a pathetic destination by the locals, I must say Sentosa has improved by leaps & bounds. So I decided that we should pick a new resort to cozy up and Siloso Beach Resort was it. We arrived at night so there wasn't much to see and the rather tiny & cramped reception did not help make things better.

The rooms were tastefully furnished. I guess when the furniture is new, it makes the overall experience much more pleasant.

The rooms are nothing out of the ordinary except for the rather fancy designer-looking couch and flat screen TV.The pool was a stunner though. To keep to the theme of the tropics, there is a huge waterfall and you can take it from me that it hurts if you stand right beneath it.

The pool is long enough for swimming laps. But the palm trees & greenery really makes it feel like an lavish & remote island resort in the middle of the Pacific. We also had the pool to ourselves which was heavenly.For dinner, it was salami & ham pizza at Trapizza; an alfresco beachside pizza joint just next to Rasa Sentosa. It was the thin-crust variety and very scrumptious. To cap it all off, oreo cheesecake from the hotel cafe. Sweet.
