Sentosa Island

Sentosa island is a great visit as a whole family be prepared for the hot weather. We headed in via taxi you need to pay a toll once you enter to leave we then took the monorail .Multiple activities to do we visited a few spots with 3 of my kids. We grabbed a bite and ice cream at the food truck food court area, then we headed to be beachside and there was a cool water splash for kids there is a entry fee for that we lost track of time so next time will deff head in much earlier as I wasn’t aware of how many things there were to do there even a beach club with cool cabana areas and a inflatable obstacle on the water to cool off.

From Harbourfront MRT, you can access the famed island resort through the Sentosa Express monorail ($4 from VivoCity mall), Cable Car or through the Sentosa Boardwalk. Then, around the island, you can take the Sentosa Express (free on the island), frequent buses, a beach tram and cycle paths Additionally, you can enjoy attractions like Universal Studios Singapore, S.E.A Aquarium and Adventure Cove Waterpark; as well as indulge in the historical Fort Siloso or simply relax in the Skyline Luge

Had an amazing time at Resorts World Sentosa. Universal Studios was unforgettable, especially the Harry Potter section, which is beautifully designed. The cable car ride gives stunning views of the bay and skyline, and the casino is lively for those who want a different kind of fun. The whole place is well organized, clean, and easy to get around. A must-visit in Singapore.

Beautiful island with theme parks and resorts. Beach is ok maybe was there during low tide. Trams and bus are free on the island and easy to get around.

You can reach Sentosa Island via the Sentosa Express Monorail from VivoCity Mall for just S$4, with the return trip back to VivoCity free. The island is packed with exciting attractions like Universal Studios Singapore, S.E.A. Aquarium, Harry Potter: Visions of Magic, and Adventure Cove Waterpark. Booking tickets in advance is recommended. You can also explore the historic Fort Siloso or unwind at the Skyline Luge. Don’t miss the Crocs and Hershey’s stores, and for Muslim visitors, there’s a small prayer room near the entrance of Harry Potter: Visions of Magic, complete with a wudhu area. Just remember to bring your own prayer equipment.

Sentosa Island! 🌴✨ First off, the drive was super smooth thanks to our private tour experience 🚐🙌. Getting in was a breeze—just scan your ticket and boom… you’re on the cable sky cars 🚡. Honestly, what a technology! Hanging on a strong steel rope 💪, the cars glide you straight to the island itself, and the view is everything. Once on the island, it feels endless—there’s literally a thousand things to do, you could spend eternity there and still think it was just a day 😍. From brushing shoulders with parrots 🦜 and snakes 🐍, to spotting chipmunks scurrying past 🐿️ and being wowed by countless free-roaming peacocks 🦚… it’s nature at its best. Sentosa is just pure magic on an island 🏝💫.

Visiting Sentosa Island with my family was an unforgettable experience filled with fun, adventure, and relaxation. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt like a perfect escape from the hustle of city life. We started our day at the S.E.A. Aquarium, which left our daughter wide-eyed with wonder at the sight of sharks, manta rays, and vibrant coral reefs. The interactive exhibits kept her engaged and excited throughout. Next, we enjoyed a thrilling ride on the Skyline Luge, which was a hit with both kids and adults. It was the perfect mix of adrenaline and scenic beauty. The beaches—especially Palawan—were clean, safe, and great for a relaxing family picnic. The suspension bridge there added an element of fun and photo opportunities. Universal Studios Singapore was the highlight of our trip. The rides, themed zones, and live shows were top-notch, making the day incredibly memorable. Dining options on Sentosa were diverse and family-friendly, with something for every palate. We ended our visit with the Wings of Time show, a stunning display of water, lights, and fireworks that mesmerized all of us. Sentosa Island is an ideal family destination, blending adventure, education, and relaxation seamlessly. We left with smiles, memories, and a promise to return!

Comfortable and relaxing Beach views, white sand, and the sound of waves Could be a great healing option Ahh, there are certain shows provided

Finally got the chance to see Sentosa Island in person instead of just passing it by on my trips to and from Batam Island. From Vivo City, I took the monorail which only cost SGD4. I rode it to the fourth and final station, Beach. From here is was a fairly easy walk to all the attractions, restaurants and beaches. A free shuttle was also available to take visitors around.. Besides the beaches, Southernmost point of Asia, clubs, theme parks and activities you can also search for Thomas Danbo's Trolls (4 built here out of the over 100 around the world). During this time the Sensoryscape and Peranakan Reimagined exhibits and shows were happening. The Sensoryscape multimedia exhibits were cool with a mixture of lights, sounds and smell. It was best after sunset. I quite enjoyed the many different Peranakan exhibits (clothing, food, games, famous people, etc) about the Peranakan culture. I caught the light and sound show at the Peranakan House near the Resort World station. There was more to see and do on Sentosa but I'll leave that for another visit.

Good place to spend an entire day. We started walking in the shaded pathway to Sentosa Island from VivoCity Waterfront and then took the hop on & off bus. There are a lot of fun things to do on Sentosa Island. An island that is completely dedicated to resorts, hotels, restaurants, shops, museums, beaches, golf courses all in place.

Sentosa Island is a good side trip if you have time... we didn't have enough time, so we did a day trip... instead of staying overnight and exploring the beaches. We went to the Universal Studio area to try their new food hall... The food was ok, but the drinks were delicious! This was at the Malaysian food village. I think this man-made island is impressive, the kids took the sky cable car over the bay to reach the island and they loved it, we took a Grab and it was a quick 20 mins ride. The walk-way from Sentosa island back to the city... while beautiful, there are parts that needed maintenance. Not sure why the escalator wasn't working... it gathered a lot of trash... and it was surprising for us to see the unkept-ness. lol I wish there was some sort of cooling mists along the path. Nonetheless, you get picturesque view while walking back to the city. Once you exit, you'll hit a mall! Grab some ice cream and cool down. #sentosaisland #travellog #singapore

Sentosa is worth the day trip when visiting Singapore. This is where you can visit the Southern most point on continental Asia. There's also a famous 90 degree coconut tree on that same point, which is very popular. Besides chilling on the beach, there's also Universal Studios, which we only went to the nearby food court there. There's other fun activities, which we did the Sky Luge. Getting there, you can take the tram, which has nice views going into the island, or you can take a more scenic route taking the gondola.

Quite the island. I had no idea how much there was to do here. The original plan was to visit Fort Siloso. So I headed on the MRT to Harbourfront station, then take many escalators to the Vivo City station to take the train to Sentosa. You can tap credit cards to ride both or purchase the local EZLink card. I just used my visa card. The island is well marked and mapped out for all the sites. I found the Mount Imbiah Trail and headed towards the fort. That trail was interesting, you can stay on the ground or take an elevator up 11 stories and walk canopy level for a wider view. The fort took about two hours to wander and take in. Instead of taking the trail back, I turn a little right hand turn towards the beach side of the island. I strolled the long beautiful sandy beach for almost an hour, checking out a few of the snack shops and bars long the way. Wishing I had thrown my swimsuit in my bag. At the end of the beach is almost center of the island and crossed back over to the other side to discover several resorts, Universal Studios, a shopping center, aquarium and food court. I checked out this area for around an hour and kicked back with a milk tea for a bit. This area doesn't have a lot places to sit and rest. And the week before Christmas was quite crowded like other places. If you are an adventure person this island is definitely you place to be. Not just for all the beach activities, but hiking, iFly, MegaZip, MegaClimb, and Hydrodash. It is almost impossible to be bored here. The island is dotted with areas of snack shops and small restaurants. Higher end larger establishments are in mall near the aquarium and at the resorts.

"Sentosa"- is a one big open air amusement park, it certainly has something for everyone. From fun commercial interactive activities, to water park, golf courts, casual eats, resorts, casino... to high end accommodations. My favorite is the 2 sets of cable carts: one goes along the beaches, the other goes back and forth to the Mina land of Singapore. I personally wish it has more cultural options on this consider the southernmost point on the continent of Asia.

I fell in love with Sentosa immediately! I ended my week in Singapore with a two day stay on Sentosa before adventuring off to other countries in Asia. Sentosa is filled with a ton of activities and there are almost endless options for both adventure and relaxing. There are a bunch of restaurants to choose from, you won't go hungry! I stayed in the Hard Rock Hotel and stayed mainly in that area of Sentosa. I went to Universal Studios, the S.E.A Aquarium, the Maritime Museum, and visited a few shops. I ate at a few restaurants including Bali Thai, Slappy Cakes (before going to Universal Studios...not a good idea to ride the dueling coasters first after eating a bunch of pancakes haha) and Din Tai Fung. I wish I had more time on Sentosa but what I did there was a blast! I do recommend visiting for some fun but don't forget to explore the rest of Singapore's beauty.

Sentosa is a beautiful island that belongs to Singapore. It hosts amusement parks, man-made beaches, nature preserves, reservoirs. This trip was my first visit to Singapore and heard that the cable car is a great way to see the skyline of Singapore. So I took the cable car from my hotel to Sentosa: the best way to see Singapore and Sentosa from a bird's eye perspective. Stunning route and highly recommend this survey of the landscape. Singapore is an admirable, security conscious country with denizens from multiple cultures.... co-existing. Imagine. Wish we had Singapore's cultural equilibrium in the U.S. We may never get there but I was entranced with the diversity of people in Singapore, at least 10 cultures, local and immigrants living there. Sentosa is beautiful no doubt, a good way to observe and understand what a wealthy small country would do, despite a need for space. Singapore's relationship with water is stuff of legends. For e.g., they purify sea water for 2 years because there is insufficient drinkable water for its citizens . They reclaimed land from the sea as the beachfront for Sentosa resorts. . And have been doing so for years. And while global warming looms to give their planners angst, plans for reclaiming land incorporate environmental considerations. Brilliant. I admire this ecologically minded and prosperous island and country.

The staff at the amusement park were not helpful. When my sister and I arrived we stopped at the ticket booth. The workers there did not answer any of our questions. I wanted to bungee jump and directions to the Merlion and she gave us no directions. I would recommend at least 1-2 days to see all of Sentosa. There is a lot to explore and you will spend a lot of time lost. Even when we found the Merlion we could not access it since it was getting demolished.

One of my favorite activity at Sentosa is to take the free tram ride around the island with my 5 year old. There are quite a few tram operators but the one that always is my and my kids' favorite is Mr. Choo Choo Train Baker. Yes, Baker is his name but we nicknamed him Mr. Choo Choo Train. That's because he is the only tram operator that always make it really fun to ride with as he will greet the passengers at every stop, patiently wait for riders to board or alight, never fail to smile and sounds really enthusiastic as he introduces the sights at every stop. Then he will always, before driving off, repeat this line "Are you ready? yes, let's go! Choo Choo!" Never fails to bring a smile to my face each time.

Sentosa is a popular island resort in Singapore. To fully enjoy and appreciate the island, you'll need to allocate at least one full day. An overnight stay is even better. GETTING THERE Other than traveling by car, there are three easy ways to go to Sentosa from the main island. You can walk there along the Boardwalk. It gives you a good view of the island with some nice photo opportunities. However, in Singapore's typical hot and humid weather, this rather long walk may not be the most comfortable way to get there. Another alternative is to take the Monorail from Vivo City which costs SIN$4 (SIN$1 = US$0.75, 4/9/2018). Note that the $4 is really the admission fee to the island and the monorail is actually free. Hence, you pay nothing on your return trip via the monorail. In my opinion, the best (but also the most expensive) way is to go by cable car. Nothing beats the experience of viewing the island, as well as the Singapore's skyline high up from above. Depending on the tickets and packages that you purchase (one way, unlimited, bundles with other admissions, etc.) prices will vary. If budget is not a main concern, I would highly recommend riding the cable car. MAJOR ATTRACTIONS Just like probably most Americans visiting there, (especially if you are from CA or FL), we skipped Universal Studio, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, the aquarium, and the zoo. We opted for places that are representative of Singapore and reflect its history and culture. Fort Siloso: ***This place is hard to find and navigate through without a local guide. A BIG thank you to Singapore's Black Badge Yelp King Nik T for the personal guided tour!*** Who says good things in life aren't free? This amazing historical site is completely free and it captures a significant era of Singapore - From the time of being a British colony, to the Japanese occupation (see how the Brits goofed), and finally to the Japanese surrender. Be sure to visit the newly revamped Surrender Chamber and relive history with their audio and video presentations. Merlion Statue: The merlion is the mascot and symbol of Singapore and there are five official statues. This particular one was gigantic - 37 meters (about 121 feet) tall. From the inside of the merlion, you can take an elevator up to the top and get a panoramic view of the island. The Southernmost Point of Continental Asia: To get there you'll take the free shuttle to Palawan Beach, and then walk across the suspension bridge over the water. It is not without debate whether this is indeed the southernmost point of continental Asia. The catch here is "continental", which means it must be attached to the mainland of Asia. Singapore is an island connected to the Malaya Peninsula by a bridge. Sentosa is an island connected to Singapore by a bridge. This southernmost point is connected to the beach by a suspension bridge. You get the idea? But as we immersed ourselves in the sweet tropical breeze and soaked in the beauty of the island and the beach, whether it was indeed the southernmost point of continental Asia was no longer important... Skyline Luge: At first I thought this was for kids only, but NO! Lots of adults rode it and had the greatest times of their lives (yours truly included). We took a ski-lift up the hill then rode down on the luge, which was like a super mini car with steering control and brakes. The slope was mild to moderate so it's not like a roller coaster at all. There were enough turns and some mildly sharp turns to make the ride fun and exciting. Trick Eye Museum: This was an absolutely fun place. Please see a separate review on this place. OTHERS There are many other activities and attractions. For the thrill seekers, there is a zip line at Mega Adventure Park, as well as a simulated skydiving experience called iFly Singapore. There are also a couple of night shows called Lake of Dreams and Crane Dance. The choices of fun and exciting places is literally too numerous to mention.

A theme park in Singapore where you can spend a day (or a week) with pure fun and leisure. So much to do and see with these attractions: * 4D Adventureland * Adventure Cove Waterpark * Animal & Bird Encounters * Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom * Cable Car * Crane Dance * Dolphin Island * Fort Siloso Skywalk * iFly * Farber Peak * Kidzania * Lake of Dreams * Lasertag * Madame Tussaud's * Maritime Experiential Museum * MOSH * Mega Adventure Park * Palawan Beach * Port of Lost Wonder * SEA Aquarium * Seabreeze Watersports * Sentosa Golf Club * Sentosa Merlion * Sentosa Nature Discovery * Sentosa Segway Eco Adventure * Skyline Luge * Tiger Sky Tower * Trick eye Museum * Universal Studios * Wave House * Wings of Time With these many attractions in one place, expect a lot of walking but you can also use the monorail to go from one point to another. Some of the attractions are free but some requires a fee. If you're planning to come here, I would recommend doing a research first, then carefully plan out which places to go in order to maximize your visit.

Mostly for tourist or locals with no place to go. Expensive and yucky cheap food that coast an arm and leg. Ticket prices for attractions are expensive and timings are short.

An island that is fun to visit. There is also a sea, food, and a casino. There are plenty of means of transportation.

The way it's been explained to me, Sentosa is a man-made island that was cast a family entertainment center to justify having a casino. In other words, they couldn't just build a casino without making providing something for the whole family. There are several ways to get to Sentosa via pods move on a cable (they call it the Singapore Cable Car). If you're afraid of heights, don't look down. It's best to check the map to find the closest point. Onsite, there was a Universal Studios, some resort hotels, a fantastic aquarium, (of course, the casino), and a bunch of shops and restaurants. It's easy to spend a whole day here. It's a refreshing change in atmosphere from the rest of metropolitan Singapore.

Nice trip! I love it and I'll come again if possible. Universal is a little bit small but highly recommended

Sentosa Island is a little escape from the main island of Singapore. You can take a monorail to get there and it's pretty fast. There's cable cars for you to take to see the view of the island. Sentosa island is a more isolated version of Singapore, yet with quite a bit of restaurants to choose from. The beaches here are not for swimmers, there's tons of gadgets and trucks blocking it, my college buddy who is a native of Singapore told us that the beaches here are bad, especially with the oil and whatnot getting into it. Nonetheless, it was nice to look at, at certain angles. There's quite a bit to do once on Sentosa Island, but we opted for a good dinner, watched the sun set and walked down the island and enjoying the breeze.

This review is for the beach! This beach far exceeded my expectations. Please go to the beach here if you're on vacation and looking for a little getaway in busy Singapore! You can take the MRT to the Harbourfront station, and then take an express train (only 3 stops, about 10 minutes) to the last stop. There's also a large mall at this station, and a restaurant where you can get specially flavored soup dumplings!! Anyways, once you get to the last stop, simply follow the signs! There are 3 options/beaches, and I just remember picking the one where the little stick figure are dancing suggestively, over the one with children and such. You'll walk through a little park area, and then you reach the beach! It wasn't crowded at all when I went on a Friday around 3PM. My friend and I thought there wouldn't be any sun left but the sun came through the clouds and it stayed until we left, around 6, 6:30! There's an option to rent a beach chair large enough for 2 people for 20 SGD, but my friend and I had towels so we just lay out. You can buy food and drinks as well (wifi password at the bottom of the receipt.) Many people passed by, just taking a walk or taking a bunch of photos, and some lay out and played in the water as well. Definitely not dirty or insanely crowded like any of the beaches in New York.

A must-see when visiting Singapore and recommended for all tourists. However, to an American from L.A., Universal Studios doesn't hold the same cache. We rode the bus included in the SIngapore Pass to get to the island, and it was a pleasant ride with about only 6 of us in the entire, giant bus. Kind of seemed like a waste for them to operate a line with so few riders, but hey--I don't own Singapore tourism. When we got to the island, the weather was a bit gray and drizzly, and the whole thing was a bit of a let-down. REALLY cheesy and touristic, and everything just looked kind of "fake". The giant Merlion was nice for a photo, but everything else required money and was really expensive, so we didn't partake. Did stop in Tastes of Asia for a refreshing dessert break of chendol and cheng tng and then decided to head to Palawan Beach to check out the sand. That was nice, but the bus back took forever to come, and when it finally did, it was completely full! So we had to walk back in the dark. :( Oh what an adventure that was. "Sentosa isn't that big, so we should be fine," my bf said. We got completely lost in the dark trying to find the cable car to go back, as the roads were not well-lit, and pretty much eaten alive by insects. Yuck. Sweaty and tired, it wasn't a pleasant way to end the day.

Sentosa Island is a place getting away from Orchard Road's hustling, bustling busy streets and the myriad of malls strewn throughout Singapore. It's a respite, a place where you can just chill out and be quiet. Sure, there's a touristy zoo at Sentosa Island-just know it's quite pricey entering but, right next door to the zoo via the riding the shuttle, I discovered there's a beach next door-Jackpot! Now, this is what I want: Touch H2O!!! There are so many things to do that are nearby Sentosa Island but, I found myself gravitating towards the ocean, not interested checking out the zoo, the shops or restaurants. I just wanted to chill out, zone out, hanging out at the jungle Jim tower which overlooks the ocean views. At night, the purple lion towering over me looks so ominous as I stroll back to the entrance of Sentosa Island. Key word after traveling through ten countries: CHILL.

Maybe one should consider the individual aspects of Sentosa as opposed to the island as a whole, but I have to admit that it is a pretty entertaining day trip. In a way it has quite a lot to keep you entertained, which is probably why it has its very own resort world (though I suspect a resort in Singapore is going to be much more expensive than, say, one in Thailand). Anyway, not only do you have a beach, and what looks like a pretty large golf course, but you also have a massive theme park, and reasonable beach, and even an old British fort. The problem is that the beach isn't all that fantastic, and there was only one bar along the entire stretch. Oh, and the monorail gets pretty packed as well. However, there is enough here to keep you entertained for a while.

We've been to Sentosa three times since 1996. Every time we go there, it gets BIGGER and BETTER! It is now a destination resort with a hotel and casino. In addition to the beach areas, luge, Merlion viewing, etc. they have an aquarium and Universal Studios! Here are some highlights of the sections we experienced: * Universal Studios - Not as big as the one in California or Florida but enough to occupy and entertain five teenagers. Loved the Transformers Ride, the Battlestar Galactica roller coasters, the Mummy Returns ride, and Jurassic Park Ride. Note that you will get SOAKED on the Jurassic Park ride. Buy or bring your own poncho. You might want to either remove your shoes as they will get totally soaked. There are lockers when you get to the entrance, put your bags and shoes in there. Lockers are free up to one hour. * We love the luge cart rides down the mountain. Buy the 5 ride package for $20 as price wise it is the most economical choice as you will want to do it over and over. Enjoy the beautiful views on the lift ride to the top. * 4D Adventureland. There are three attractions in this section. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island is a 4D movie where you watch a short version of the Hollywood movie and experience it with all the sights, sounds, and smells to make it "real". Beware, these guys love to use water in their attractions. The Extreme Log Ride will put you in a moving "cart" where you watch the 4D movie. With the "cart" moving, this ride feels like a roller coaster ride. The kiddies loved this one. The last one is Desperados. In this attraction, you sit on a wooden horse that moves and bucks while you try to shoot the 3D desperados on the screen. The kids like this one too since it was more interactive. * Butterfly Park and Insect Kingdom. At first, I was underwhelmed in this section. Yeah, they had a ton of large, colorful butterflies in a forest like setting. (zzzzzzz.....) But keep moving and you'll reach the Insect Kingdom. This is where you'll see live scorpions, giant beetles, stick insects, leaf insects, and spiders. Since we don't have most of these in Hawaii, I found this to be a lot more interesting. When you get to the end, there is a guy that will offer to let you hold some. Hubby had a Forest Scorpion placed on his had after reassurances of "It doesn't really hurt." and "They are not that poisonous." I politely and vehemently declined this experience. :) * Mega Zipline - Ride from the top of the mountain to the beach on a zip line. Hubby and my oldest were thrilled. Not exactly a cheap experience at $38 per person, but what the heck, we were on vacation. If you are in Singapore, Sentosa will occupy your time. It is huge, clean and very well run. I'm sure that the next time we go back, there will be even more fun attractions added.

Okay, I get it. The last time I reviewed this place (which was when I was still new to Singapore) I had only explored the "touristy" part of the island like Resorts World Sentosa, Universal Studios, Underwater World, Palawan and Tanjong Beach to name a few. During my most recent visit, I finally got out to the more fancier part of the island - Sentosa Cove. This is where the W Hotel and Quayside Isle are. I must admit that this area of Sentosa is posh and gorgeous. There's an area to park your yacht (no big deal) it's quiet, and the views are lovely. You forget you're in the metropolis of Singapore. It feels like resort living. Now I understand why a lot of local fashion companies do photo shoots here! However, the one drawback for me is transportation. It is a total pain in the ass to travel around this island if you don't have a car. It all comes down to whether you'd like to spend time or money. Allow me to illustrate: Option 1: Call a cab. This can be tricky as there are not a lot of cabs here, especially on weekdays. Option 2: Get an Uber. If there are no Uber Taxis or UberX's, a black car will set you back $20 from the W to Vivocity, $35-40 to One Raffles Place, and $41-50 to Novena. I did request an Uber a little before 6 PM, but I didn't notice any surge pricing. Option 3: Public Transportation. Sentosa Bus 3 stops by the W, but every 30-35 minutes or so. Get out at Beach Station bus interchange to catch the train back to Vivocity. I ended up taking Option 3, and though it only cost me $1.48 it took me 80 minutes door to door. (I am not exaggerating.) So yes, if you want to explore Sentosa Cove, be prepared to either drive, wait for a cab, or endure at least 40 minutes of travel time just to get back to Vivocity. Still a fun place to relax though!

I came here over one weekend and spent almost the entire day here wandering around. And it's easily accessible starting at the Harbourfront MRT Station. Sentosa is Singapore's playground and this small island has something for just about everyone. There's an excellent aquarium, dolphin lagoon, butterfly park, musical fountain and many other attractions. Or you can just hang out at the beach and watch the cargo ships come go by.

Sentosa Island is more for families with kids. There are a lot of family friendly activities to do such as the Luge, Universal Studios, and many other kid friendly activities. There is also a mall there if you get bored or don't feel like doing any rides.

Went here on a weekday holiday, and fairly disappointed. Would be much better if a professional group like Disney were to run the place. Lines were waaay too slow for everything - rides, shuttles, tram, cable car tickets. It's one thing if lines are long in Orlando, but when you're one degree off the equator, it makes things unnecessarily tiresome (especially with little kids!) in what should be a fun place. Tickets are expensive too. I wouldn't recommend Sentosa on a short trip as it's a bit time consuming. The views out of the cable cars are nice though. The kids loved the beach although it's your average looking beach.

Fun touristy beaches with lots of attractions. Can be a tourist trap and over crowded at times, the beaches aren't amazing and the food and attractions are somewhat overpriced, but still a fun place to visit for a day or two.

If you go to Singapore, you have to put Sentosa on your to-do list. It's an incredible island right off of Singapore's coast that offers so many activities. You can get there many different ways but I recommend taking the cable car. It allows you to have a great view of the city and coast while making your way to Sentosa.

Sentosa is one my favourite destinations thus far. I'm going to exclude the "Resorts World" region from this review. You have three beaches to choose from namely Siloso, Palawan and Tanjong Beach. The beaches are no competitors to those in the Gold Coast but they're decently clean and have actually improved on beach water clarity throughout the years. Most of the beaches are litter free, with reasonably soft, white sand to cushion our feet. I'm a fan of Palawan Beach because of its huge suspension bridge that links beach-goers to Asia's closest point to the Equator. Families with kids and teenagers are commonly sighted here. There's also an attraction nearby called Animal and Bird Encounters, whereby you get to participate in activities like bird feeding and being in close contact with various creatures, within an amphitheatre (from 2pm to 5.30pm daily). There's a Koufu foodcourt too which offers refreshing fruit juices and decent meals, although a little pricey. Siloso Beach is the much hipper side with many young adults frequenting it for some beach volleyball fun. Zoukout and New Year countdowns are also held here annually, thus the youthful and hip image. Another thing I like about these Sentosa beaches is the availability of super clean washrooms and shower facilities ! The showers resemble a real "rain shower" and this is really effective in getting all that sand off your body. The Imbiah Lookout offers some really fun activities and attractions that both kids and adults can partake in. Adrenaline enthusiasts can drop by the MegaZip Adventure Park for some intense rope obstacles. Also check out the Sentosa Luge and Skyride! If you feel like getting in touch with nature, there's even a 1.8km Nature Walk that brings you through a lovely secondary rainforest. The basic things you need when visiting Sentosa are sunscreen lotion, water bottle, extra t-shirt and a functional camera!

We went to Sentosa last year and that was fun even though we were not exploring the entire Sentosa, weather were so humid and hot in January and may definitely comeback someday. Had some relatives taking us sight seeing and trying to visit Universal Studio, but the ticket booth closed at 3 PM, so we had burger at Hardrock cafe and did some shopping around and went to check out Siloso beach instead.

Another tourist destination in Singapore. Will fail to impress the American and European tourist that have their own (bigger and better) version of Universal Studios, but is a good place to visit nonetheless. The cable ride from Faber mountain to Sentosa is by itself worth the trip! The island does have a good offering of food and watering holes and many activities for the entire family.

To get into Sentosa, you have to pay an entry fee of $3. So you can get in by bus, sky train or walk.. yes even by walking, you have to pay. Sad but true. The musical fountain is now replaced by the Song of the Sea. What used to be free and romantic entertainment has now become a circus show that you will have to pay an entry fee to watch. The beaches are littered with beach bars and clubs. Even the attractions are quite expensive. The only thing worth going to Sentosa for other than going there for the occasional sun-bathing are their New Year and ZoukOut parties.

Definitely a playground for the young and old. Sentosa Island is packed with attractions to suit whatever you fancy. If you're looking for adventure, the beach, or just simply explore and learn, hop on the monorail or cable car, or just cross via boardwalk for a visit. When we visited the Sentosa island for the first time, we opted to ride the cable car. The view was stunning and a perfect way to start our adventure. When we reached the island, going around wasn't difficult because of shuttle buses available for our consumption. For a whole day, we get to enjoy the underwater world, the pink dolphin show, siloso beach, and the overall lush greenery. What we spent here was definitely worth it and we will never get tired of coming here.

If you are in Singapore you must visit Sentosa. The food court that offers malasia food is superb. You can also walk, from vivo play to the island, along the boardwalk which is well signaled, till end of 2018 is free. Once in the Island catch the monorail to anyplace for free too. Head to Silosa beach and jump into the water, it's warm and like a pool, drop off the monorail at beach stop. There are many attractions you can choose from. Enjoy Sentosa!

If you have a lot of time in Singapore and like amusement parks, sure swing on over to Sentosa. Otherwise, there's really not much to see or do here. If you just want a quick bird's eye view of the place, they have cable cars that will give you a little tour around the island. Quite touristy and quite pricey. Not worth your money or time. The beach was kind of gross - tons of cargo ships around so just imagine what's in the water. I doubt there's much wildlife around. Interested in gambling? Stick to Marina Bay Sands's casino. There's just no reason to go to Sentosa.. well, maybe if you have a bunch of kid who like amusement parks.

Sentosa is a island designated to be fun for all. Activities are limitless. From beaches to casinos. Great place to visit for a few days. Easy access at VIVO city mall.

potential has no expiry date. from day one, the potential has always been there. through the years, transformation has been the only constant. for those who grew up together with this island of peace and tranquility, you will know how far it has come. say what you like but there are no better beaches in SG that can rival the three, that you can find here! say what you like but there is no better hotel in SG than the capella, that you can find here! say what you like but there are no better aquariums in SG than the two, that you can find here! say what you like but there is no better theme park in SG than universal studios, that you can find here! say what you like but there are no better independent thrill rides in SG than the luge and mega zip, that you can find here! say what you like but there is no better sky diving simulator in SG than ifly, that you can find here! say what you like but there are no better peacocks in SG than the many, that you can find here! say what you like but there is no better party in SG than ZoukOut, that you can find here! say what you like but there are no better seaside properties in SG than sentosa cove, that you can find here! say what you like but there is no better spa in SG than spa botanica, that you can find here! say what you like but there are no better looking bikini babes in SG than any, that you can find here! say what you like but there is no better surfing simulator in SG than wave house, that you can find here! say what you like but there are no better golf courses in SG than the two, that you can find here! say what you like but there is no more southern point in SG nor continental asia than the tiny island south of palawan beach, that you can find here! i think you get the picture. lots of current construction can only mean greater things to come for this state of fun!. if this is only a work in progress, i'll reserve that fifth star for when it's full potential has been realized.

Very gimmicky island, Sentona island is the equivalent to Disneyland and California Adventure (with its rides, crazed children, and night shows.) I would recommend this for families with younger children, and maybe the older folks partial to aquariums, with the exception of the night show, which is fantastic for people of all ages.

Singaporeans who have not ever been onto this small island ought to be ashamed of themselves. It's a must go for tourists here. So if the locals themselves have not step foot here, well... My first time here was probably when I was 5 years old? If my parents did brought me here much earlier than that, I wouldn't know. Ask them. It's amazing how the island has transformed over the years. They used to have such wonderful places, like 'Fantasy Island' which was basically a pool paradise with high slides and all, then there was 'Asian Village' which consisted of roller coasters, vikings and such. Unfortunately they closed down in the late 90s. I love going on hiking trips here. Travelling to the island by cable car is by far my favourite. I do miss travelling by ferries though. I remember we used to wait for our ferries just to get to the island. Now the only modes of transport are by wheels, and of course, like I said, cable cars. The beaches too of course are the best we have here. My favourite being the Palawan Beach. It's so calm and serene. Now with RWS and Universal Studios taking all the glory, I feel the island has lost its touch for a bit. Of course, for people who have visited Universal Studios in countries like America will be unimpressed by the size we have here in Singapore. It's so tiny down here. But nonetheless, the place is still quite enjoyable.

I was not overly impressed by our limited visit to Sentosa Island. My fiance and I found that the place was did not have enough signs for people who have never been there before and were not familiar with the layout of the attractions. And, as one of the other reviewers had written, we honestly didn't find many things of interest to us. That is only our personal opinion of course. Yes, they did have a Universal Studios, but if you are from California, you've probably seen and done that one before. We could not get into their casino because of a dress code. It was about 90 degees outside, so we were wearing shorts, T-shirts, and flip flops. Who would have thought that you would have to dress up for someone else to take your money??? That is okay. We probably saved a lot of money by not going into the casino anyways :) As for their beaches, they were not overly impressive either after just coming back from Hawaii. My fiance and I found that we like the Palawan and Tanjong Beach side much more than the Siloso Beach side. Sentosa Island is okay to visit if you haven't been there before, but it is not interesting or impressive enough to go back for a second visit.

Sentosa Island is like an amusement park of amusement parks. It's huge, clean, pretty, and freakin expensive! But that's Singapore for you. My main reason for going was for the luge. The luge tagline is, "You can't ride just once!" True that! $13 for one ride, or $20 for 3. As is the rest of Singapore, it's freakin hot here, but there is shade everywhere. Tip: To get here, either pay $26 to ride the cable car or take the monorail, which will only cost $4. JONASAPPROVED!

If you are going for the activities, check the weather first! If it rains, it'll spoil your day. We wanted to do the luge and zip line. Unfortunately only got to do zip lining in between the down pour. The luge was closed as was some of the beaches. Sentosa is better for families. Lots of food options and attractions. The new aquarium is awesome and is also a good choice if it rains.

Sentosa Island is such an oasis - and so close to Singapore. On one side you have the bustling city and a short ride away a place so soothing it is resort like. It is one of the few places that expats can purchase property , at least so says one or two taxi drivers that were driving us there. Fares to this chillaxed island paradise are pricey, considering there is a toll to get in. But it is a really great way to kick back from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are quite a few high end hotels here, like the W Singapore, which is located on Sentosa, so if you are staying here, show your reservation confirmation or room key and the toll fee should be waived. Overall, it is a great place to relax, but probably not the best place to get a feel for the local feel and flavour of Singapore.

I'm normally a huge supporter of Singapore's tourist destinations, but apart from the fact that this is one of Singapore's biggest tourist strengths and even the properties range in the millions here, I (almost) despise Sentosa, and the acronym So.Expensive.Nothing.TO.See.Anyway still makes sense to me 10 years after I first heard it from my Chinese teacher in primary school.

I think Sentosa is a great day or weekend trip for locals and visitors alike. There are a lot of activities and it kind of reminds me of Disneyland in some ways. Since it's an island, you feel like you're in a different world designed all around these attractions. I liked the dolphin show at the Dolphin Lagoon and getting to pet a dolphin afterwards was a treat! Also check out the Underwater World's petting tanks. So much fun! All in all it's a nice little getaway to experience from time to time.

Such a beautiful place where you can relax and forget about everything food, attractions, shopping, landscape everything is perfect also people on this island are friendly I would visit again

In A Nutshell: -I was last here in 2007. -Epic water laser show! -Take the gondola :) Overall, can't wait to come back Nov. '14!

If you have the chance, I'd recommend the cable car ride over. It beats walking! Costs more though mind you. Sentosa, like Singapore itself has gone through much change through the years. My earliest memory from the 90s was a big merlion and not a whole much else besides beaches. Nowadays, there's more fun to be had with many more activities, like Universal and a casino. The beaches still exist, hot hot sand! It's almost like the close place for Singaporeans and other visitors to stop by for a getaway. We rented a bike and were able to bike across the island. It was very humid and it got sweaty quickly but the breeze down some slopes was bliss. Worth a trip here at least once.

So much fun! So much to do! BEWARE: the beach here is a bay and you will not get to swim in it. No one does... Who wants to swim with cargo ships? The mega zip was really cool, and the luge was so much fun!! There are some really great food options at the beach as well! Mega zip was a bit tricky to find follow the signs. Have fun!!
