We were recommended the hotel by friends who had stayed on their way back from their honeymoon trip to Australia. We stayed over for one night on the way to Australia but because of flight times got 2 full days. The travel agent had recommended a special deal where check out is 6pm on the 2nd day and as we arrived at 8am on the 1st day we felt we got a really good deal. Although check in isn't officially until noon our room was available and we were checked in straight away with super efficiency. The bedroom was spacious and well fitted with all the luxuries you would expect of a 5 star hotel. The mini bar was expensive so we didn't buy anything, the inclusive breakfast had lots of choice served in a restaurant with wonderful views. The gardens are well maintained and a pleasure to walk around. The pool was fantastic for a dip in the morning, before it got too hot or too busy and towels and robes are available by the pool to save you taking any. We ate in at lunchtime on the first day and didn't find the prices too expensive considering the star rating but the lounge bar in the evening was expensive for drinks by comparison. The one outstanding thing about the hotel was the service. All staff were so courteous and pleasant and went out of their way to help you. Although the hotel is a bit out of the centre, taxis are readily available from the front of the hotel and cost about the same as a bus ride back in the UK so don't bother walking, it's far too humid (we tried it!). We visited the zoo in the morning, again travelling by taxi which was excellent value, and that was a wonderful morning, the zoo being small enough to get round in a few hours which is all that you need in the heat of Singapore. When we booked this hotel it was number 1 in Singapore on Tripadvisor - for us it still deserves to be there (we notice that it's currently number 3).
