Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa

Great for Zoukout music festival

Prós: Proximity to silosa beach where the annual zoukut music festival was great.

Contras: The room felt a bit old to me and a bit dark.

Prós: Location enables relaxing by the pool, have a good view of the South China Sea, and you still have easy access to the city. If you have small children there is a ton of kid activities. The service is excellent, with a wonderful breakfast buffet. We stayed here four years ago, and they have undergone a very good renovation. It was fun to just sit on the balcony of our room and take in the view.

Contras: The Sentosa activities could benefit from more all inclusive pass alternatives.
