Magical Sentosa

by elspeth334 , Dec 02 '06
Pros: Lots to Do and See
Cons: All the little cover charges mount up
I have been lucky enough to visit Singapore on four occasions and each time we always make time to visit Sentosa and I would like to share with you why. How to get there Sentosa is approximately 15 minutes away from the city and 25 minutes from Changi ...

Underwater World on Sentosa...worth the trek

by pspark Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 16 '07
Pros: Cheap (comparably), foot center, aquarium dives, excellent exhibits.
Cons: Time-consuming to get to, must book in advance.
Opening I have been to Sentosa numerous times and I always go to Underwater World. On my most recent trip, I had an experience that I had to share with others. This review will not center much on any of the other attractions on Sentosa or on ...

Sentosa Island - part 1

by weikwan72 , Jul 24 '07
Pros: Great location, lots to do. Excellent for families.
Cons: Expensive if you wish to do everything.
If you have read any reviews over the Internet prior to 2005, well, you are sadly outdated. In 2006, the Singapore government announced its plan to spend up to $8 billion to revamp the entire island in order to achieve its annual target of 8 million ...

Island Resort? You bet!

by iljc82 , Jan 25 '03
Pros: Sunset-beach concept very ingenious
Cons: Roads are a little confusing; more monorials should be on the run; food's expensive
Before I start rambling about this must-go attraction that every tourist to Singapore is bound to step foot on, let me clarify that I am a native of Singapore (if Singapore produces natives, that is).

The island was one touted as the "most...

Sentosa, a trip worth skipping

by singaporeboy , Sep 22 '00
Pros: the island itself is beautiful...
Cons: ...but cluttered with far too many artificial 'attractions'
Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

Sentosa Island is Singapore's big attraction to draw tourists. Developing it has cost the government millions, and to my disappointment, these millions seem to have been funneled into...

Commercialized Garden of Eden.

by mnehr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 29 '00
Pros: A little of something for everyone, with a unique flavor.
Cons: Anal retentive police. Getting reservations.
Sentosa, Island in Singapore is one of those unique places not often publicized, yet far worth the trouble. Located just a short ferry ride, or taxi ride across the causeway bridge, South of downtown Singapore, Sentosa, Island is commonly...

The Disneyland of Singapore?

by jaz , Mar 03 '00
Pros: Probably okay for a family, cable car ride a must
Cons: Seemed like they nickled and dimed you to death
First trip to Singapore and everyone told me to not bring chewing gum and go to Sentosa. Maybe I was expecting too much, but what a joke. (the island, not the gum thing)

There are three ways onto the island, either cable car over the harbor,...

It's not Disneyland, but it's not to be underestimated

by hartbrook , Apr 01 '00
Pros: It's great if you go the right places, and the bumper cars will become an obsession
Cons: Most of the island's attractions are boring and expensive, it isn't worth staying more than a day there
I didn't travel to Singapore, I lived there for some years, and my experience with Sentosa is that it is massive, and for as much as the American tourist would criticize it you have to understand that Sentosa was made for the Singaporeans. I wouldn't...

The Sun, Sand & Sea

by dansui , May 15 '00

A finer sight of Sentosa you never noticed! Part 2

by x-men , Dec 11 '00
Pros: Great Party atmosphere
Cons: Tonnes of people
Here I am back again for another continuation of Sentosa. In my last writeup, I mentioned on the sandy beaches of Siloso beach, Sunset Bay, etc. And how exciting the activities can be.

Only If You Have Spare Time

by soulasylum , May 20 '00
Pros: Travelling to and within Sentosa, Affordable to Most Tourists, Good Infrastructure, Crowded on Weekends
Cons: Climate, Time Consuming, No Value For Money, Too man-made
Take heart from a native and from someone whom has worked on the island before; there are other places here which deserves your time.

Sentosa, the southern island, or what used to be an island has conjured an image of theme parks, beautiful...

Not for Tropical Island Relaxation - maybe for kids

by jpenrod , Oct 05 '99
Pros: Close to Singapore, Underwater World, May Be Good for kids
Cons: Not what you think of for tropical resort vacation
First off let's clear up the idea that this is some kind of island that you will need to take a boat or plane to get to. Sentosa is basically connected to Singapore. You can take a ferry to it, I recall about a 5 minute or so ride, you can also take a...

Ack! How much?!

by hopnivla , Jun 19 '01
Pros: Nice difference from the concrete jungle of the mainland
Cons: Exorbitant admission fees, near unbearable weather in June
One word to describe Sentosa. Well, two actually: cutthroat and hot. To get there, you can either walk in, take a bus, hop on a ferry, or go across by cable-car. Admission to Sentosa regardless of your method of travel is $4 I think. We chose to go by...

Disappointed again

by laxhunter , Aug 23 '06
Pros: Easy to get there
Cons: Expensive, and troublesome when getting from one attraction to another.
Been to Sentosa Island many years back, there was not much attraction back then. Visited the island again this year in January (2006). They have much more attractions this time around. We bought a ticket which comes with a few entrance ticket thrown ...
