Our 2nd staycation with the Boy. We did an overnight stay over at Festive Hotel in Resorts World Sentosa. We booked our stay for S$278/ night including breakfast which we thought is a good deal.
Check-in and check-out is relatively fast. First impression about Festive Hotel is that it is really designed for family guests. The corridors, lifts, rooms, etc. are all wide enough to push your pram around. Ramps are also installed in most parts of RWS compound so moving around with your stroller is easy-peesy.
Room wise is very clean and up to a standards of a 5-star hotel. In RWS’ efforts to be eco friendly, they have a pitcher of water in the room instead of bottled water and you get your unlimited filtered water from the dispenser just at the corridor. I thought this was an ingenious idea. You no need to worry about your potable water anymore plus you are helping the environment.
Swimming Pool is also very shallow and the water is warm enough for our boy to swim in. They got water play area, kids pool, a Jacuzzi and a regular pool. Since it was not crowded, we opt for the regular pool andthe Boy got his first dip in a swimming pool (he is not scared nor overly excited about it. He was like meh). I am not entirely sure if the warm pool water is intentional or is it because of Singapore’s weather but hey, it suits us so no complains. The towel dispenser is awesome, it’s fully automated. Scan your room card and poof, a towel comes out. How cool is that?
What’s great about Festive Mall is it is within RWS so there’s definitely a great array of restaurants you can choose from, awesome view of the Merlion (last look before they take it down), and of course, the sights and sounds of Sentosa.
Gym and Breakfast are over at Hard Rock Hotel. It’s just a short, sheltered walk from Festive Hotel lift; roughly around 3 minutes. Gym is open 24/7 but very basic. It has free weights, 4 treadmills and some stationary bikes. Breakfast is over at Sessions Restaurant. Spread is decent and have a nice view of the pool area. I made myself a plate of a full English breakfast, a bowl of porridge, a bowl of mee tai bak soup, plate of tropical fruits and 1.5 cup of coffee.
Overall, we super enjoyed our stay over at Festive Hotel. We give this hotel a 4/5 stars for its family friendliness, fun location, good amenities and great hotel service. We also learned that if you book for 3D2N, you get free tickets to 4 RWS theme parks (USS, Adventure Cove, SEA Aquarium, Maritime Museum). Good deal, isn’t it?
On to the next adventure!
