I was comtemplating between Fullerton hotel, W hotel and Shangri la.
It was for my birthday planning and I intended to get a suite.
Went to Fullerton for a quick tour on all the available suites and it was not impressive as the suite I wanted looked tired. W hotel was recently launched in Sentosa but there wasn't conclusive pictures posted online for reference. It was a tad too far as well for my guests to make their way there.
I opted for Shangri la - newly renovated garden wing premier balcony suite with Jacuzzi. It costs me about 1k per night. Comes with breakfast and luxury amenities from Bvlgari and of course nespresso and signature tea bags.
Firstly, the down side.. The ceiling fan was not working and the repairman claimed that it can't be repaired until the next day.. My guests had to endure the heat as the air condition was not strong enough in the living room. Secondly, the tea bags was not adequately replenished as it looks like someone has siphoned some away. Called for replenishment but they gave instant tea bags instead... Thirdly, the telephone in the living was not working. Thou someone came, but it just didn't function properly.
The upside. The balcony was spacious enough to house 15 people comfortably. With a 5 sweater couch... A round table with 6 chairs...2 sun tanning deck... 2 single seater chair with a small table.. And another big round sun deck all outside the room... My guests and I had not have the chance to,fully utilize all of them...
Next, the jacuzzi was clean and came in real handy for the kids. There was another electrical BBQ pit which we were not informed of... (would have prepared some food for BBQ if I had been made known). Facilities wise, this is top notch. It faces the open spaceships also means that the tolerance level of noise is higher since it projects out into the open. This is especially beneficial to bigger groups in the room. Lastly, the bed was comfy and the bathrobe is heavenly... Thick and fluffy to the touch. The electrical Toto toilet seat amazed a couple of my guests with its function. Oh yes, the room comes with separate guest toilet which really is ideal in my case.
The party went on well with no complains from friend or other hotel guests. I would not hesitate to book this room again. Service can be slow at times but the staff were all pleasant and served with a smile. And yes, the garden wing comes with free cock tail from 6-8pm I think...the spread at the
Lounge could have been improved. We had breakfast at the famous The Line restaurant and the spread for breakfast was enormous. It even came with prosecco.. For the heavy drinkers..it's definitely a huge plus!
