Yay! This time round, our Staycation location is at the Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa.
Located in the heart of Sentosa, we drove in at 3pm for our check in.
The check-in stated was at 3pm, however when we reach around 3:05pm, we were told to wait for them to clean up the rooms before they can serve us. We only managed to checked in at 3:30pm onward. We were pretty bummed as we just couldn't wait to check out our rooms.
Prior to this, I was dreaming about the Staycation all day long as we are not traveling out of Singapore till December, it pretty much felt like a vacation to me instead. It was the only thing I could look forward to during my exams period.
The day was kind of gloomy as it was drizzling when we reached the hotel. The sky cleared up after.
Here we go ~
We had a luxury room for 2 with garden view, which stands at 36 square metres! Woa, it is really one of the bigger rooms compared to other hotels in Singapore. The previous Staycay at Carlton City Hotel was merely a 28 square metres.
This is me, who could not wait to jump and roll on the bed. It was super comfy! (but i still prefer Movenpick's)
This room cost approximately $500 SGD (not inclusive of breakfast). Yea, it is a 5 star hotel hence the steep price. But lucky us got it for free! (or maybe lucky me hehehe)
There is a work desk, perfect for businessmen.
And here comes the star of the room - a portable coffee table. It was closed when we arrived, and to our surprise, they have a coffee maker machine, a kettle, and some TWG teabags alongside Illy coffee. What was the best? It even comes with TWG tea jug!
Everything on the coffee table was complimentary. So first thing we got to do, is make ourselves some tea.
(hehe, pardon the mess)
No photos of the pool side as part of it was under construction. However, the pool was open and we did go for a dip. There was a secret staircase by the pool (which was also the smoking corner) which leads to Tanjong Beach Club.
There was a room cleaning service at 8pm (yes, at night) when we just checked in at 3pm. How meticulous of the staff.

Then, it's breakfast time! We got up at 7am for breakfast to avoid the crowd and not to waste too much time sleeping in. "Must make full use of the hotel!!"
The hotel buffet spread was VERY AWESOME. Great variety and food are of a certain standard.
From cold cuts, to croissants, to cheese, to chinese dim sum, to indian cuisine, to salad bar with tonnes of vinaigrettes. There is even a kids' corner!
It was a great stay at Sofitel for us!
