Resort World Sentosa - Crockfords Tower

Two nights stay at the Crockfords Tower in Resort World Sentosa, also known as the Sentosa integrated resort on Sentosa Island Singapore.  WOW!

This all-suite hotel is a 'by-invitation' only hotel.

Was originally planning to spend 2 nights at the Festive Hotel, compliments of my brother-in-law.  However, he received a call to be upgraded to the Crockfords Tower.  Was a wonderful birthday present for me... LOL.

The bathroom was equipped with a personal steam room, a huge bath tub, a 'magic TV', Bvalgari amenities amidst classic marble flooring.

Face towels and a Bvlgari hand soap

Bath Menu

We decided to test out the bath menu and requested for the Romantic Moments - fragrant bath crystals with rose petals with lots of bubbles...

We found it amazing that the dresser mirror also acted as a television screen...

Sentosa sees 18% increase in visitors

by Channel NewsAsia

SINGAPORE - The number of people visiting Sentosa rose to 9.2 million in the first half of this year. This represents an 18 per cent increase compared to the same period last year, Sentosa Leisure Group said.

Sentosa Development Corporation chief executive Mike Barclay said this puts the island on track to register 20 million visitors for the year.

Excluding Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), locals made up 49 per cent of visitors to the island, while four in 10 leisure and business tourists who visited Singapore also visited Sentosa.

Asian countries, in particular Indonesia, The Philippines and Malaysia, remain big growth markets for Sentosa.

The Sentosa Leisure Group said more options will be added to the island's range of leisure and lifestyle offerings in the coming months to position it as a leisure and lifestyle destination.

For example, Palawan Beach will feature an 800m landscaped walkway that connects restaurants and the food court, and is scheduled to open next year.

The centrepiece of the Palawan Walk is a water-play area built around the replica of a giant pirate ship, which also houses a children's club and a family restaurant.

A Family Entertainment Centre will also be built on Palawan Beach to offer more family-themed activities in the area.

Plans for Sentosa's intra-island cableway, which will enhance connectivity between the different clusters of attractions on the island, is on track for completion in 2014.

Tickets to Universal Studios Singapore opening day sold out

Universal Studio tickets sold out for opening day on 18th March!

SINGAPORE: Tickets for Universal Studios Singapore theme park went on sale at 9am on Wednesday, and those for the opening day on 18 March were sold out.

Resorts World Sentosa added that tickets for the first weekend were also selling fast.

The opening of the theme park has been much anticipated by both locals and tourists.

But the strong demand for tickets on the first day of sales caused some thrill seekers to experience difficulties when buying online or over the phone.

As a result, some resorted to going down to the box office at Resorts World Sentosa to get their tickets.

MediaCorp tried all day to buy tickets online, but the website either hung or refused to load. Similarly, calls to the booking hotline went unanswered.

Robin Goh, assistant director for communications at Resorts World Sentosa, said: "We do apologise to our guests for the inconvenience caused. But we have opened up more phone lines as well, as of 12pm this afternoon. And that will continue for the rest of today and hopefully the problems get solved tomorrow."

Those unable to buy tickets online or get through the hotline can send a purchase request via email. They can expect a response within 48 hours.
