I am a veteran tripadvisor surfer. In fact, I booked hotels for my honeymoon totally based on tripadvisor reviews. I have just returned from 4 days at the Amara Sanctuary for a work conference. The hotel was chosen and booked through work so I didn't have any say in the matter. I was definitely concerned about staying there due to... more

We had a confirmed booking in a Courtyard Suite for June 13 to 15 2008. When we got there on the evening of June 13, there was no room. They had overbooked. We were put up at the Amara Tanjong Pagar, hardly the resort experience we were expecting. There was no service recovery thereafter. more

I attended a conference a the Amara Sanctury Resort and while the conference facilities and food were excellent and the hotel rooms clean and well decorated. The rooms in the main building had no outside space (nor windows that opened), the rooftop swimming pool was small and the gym was makeshift and in a converted hotel room. The staff appeared... more

We stayed a night at the one-bedroom villa and had a good experience overall. Service at check-in and check-out was polite and prompt but if I could be fussy, my only complaint would be that the quality of service was impeccable but clinical. Staff did what they should without expressing any real warmth. Food-wise, we called room service for dinner... more

I just spent a day at the Amara Sancturay after getting married over the weekend. As we do not have the time to go on a honeymoon yet, we thought we'd splurge on the villa at Amara Sanct. I called them on the phone to book and managed to get a rate of SGD950+++ (still really steep) against their published... more

The Amara has potential but seriously falls short of expectations and I'm glad that I only paid a promotional rate and not the full rate for it was totally NOT worth the stated rack-rate prices. Frustrations can be seen at the check-in desk as staff tried to manage the checking-in process and failed. Many other couples were trying to check-in... more

My wife and I stayed at the Amara for four days and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. When we read the earlier reviews from other visitors, we wondered whether they'd had axes to grind or whether the things they had been concerned about really had been sorted out. Probably the latter. Check-in was very quick and easy and the staff... more

Stayed at this hotel accross the new year. checking in was smooth & service acceptable.. Many bell hops offering to carry out bags. Room was nice although room view out; we could see parts of a neighbouring hotel being constructed...no fault of the this hotels... What was lovely was the beds & the complimentaries... service by shutters was made personal... more

Better than we expected based on the reviews on here. We'd booked the cheapest room from the hotel website and got a very good sized room and bathroom with separate shower and bath etc. Overall service was rather good, an army of students from the hotel school next door as far as we could tell, but very keen and willing... more
