We have heard so much about this hotel, so we decided to give it a try ourselves. We booked a Deluxe sea-facing room which was very spacious and well-appointed. The room was very clean and the amenities very new. Best of all was the balcony alcove which gave wonderful sunrise views over the sea.

There are two pools, one on the first floor opposite the cafe, and one on the rooftop. The rooftop pool is the better one, with an infinity edge, so you feel like the pool flows over the side of the hotel. There is a large ledge on the side, which allows sunbathers a vantage point to tan, and a jacuzzi for those who just want to relax. Whether you are tanning, swimming or sitting in the jacuzzi, there is a thrill each time an aircraft landing at Changi Airport roars past the pool at close range.

There is a Salt Water Cafe which serves a buffet (from $36-40pp) and an adjoining Vau Lounge which serves drinks. The Japanese restaurant was always vacant when we walked past. There are lots of dining options at Changi Village anyway, which is a five minute walk away.

Excellent hotel, we will be back!
