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.

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.

The opening is a milestone of one of the world's most extensive and expensive integrated resorts at US$4.4 billion and which was build in a record time of under three years. Southeast Asia's only Universal Studios theme park and Resort World's luxurious casino are both expected to open soon together with the Compass Ballroom, 26 function rooms and a 1,600 seat Festive Grand theatre.

Supporting the attractions will be a 3,500-lot car-park facility, restaurants, retail stores, entertainment and public attractions that include Emmy-award winner Jeremy Railton’s Lake of Dreams and Chamber of Treasures.

Resorts World at Sentosa, Singapore's Integrated Resort (IR), is a casino resort offering attractions, hotels, spa, casino and meetings & incentive venues. Having just opened, the hotels are already seeing a creditable average occupancy of 80 per cent at its hotels on weekends.

No date has been fixed for the opening of the Universal Studios Singapore theme park at Resorts World Sentosa yet and the casino will open once the integrated resort receives the operation licence from the authorities.

Singapore is unique in the sense that it has four official languages, namely English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil. Although the national Singapore language is Malay, English is the working language.

Singapore is a cosmopolitan society where people live harmoniously and interaction amongst the different races is commonly seen. The pattern of Singapore stems from the inherent cultural diversity of the island. The immigrants of the past have given the place a mixture of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European influences, all of which have intermingled.
