Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa Staycation Review - A perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life
Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa is a dream come true for those who are looking for an escape from your daily routine and retreat into a luxurious resort that is guaranteed to take your worries away.
We recently sent a family on a well-deserved staycation to this Sentosa resort for the perfect getaway with sandy beaches, lush greenery, and unforgettable views of the sea.
Where better to relax than by leaving the city behind in favour of an island resort? They loved it so much and here is their review of Sofitel Sentosa!
Luxury Room
The Luxury Room was spacious and comes with a King-sized bed. Moreover, the wooden furnishings made the room feel comfortable and cosy.
The toilet also comes with a large bathtub perfect for a soak to cool down from the hot weather.
Swimming Pool
After checking into our room, we decided to explore the hotel. We loved that there was so much greenery all around us.
The swimming pool was huge and good enough for 50 pax. For those not looking for a swim, you can also lounge on the sunbeds that surround the pool.
Sofitel Spa
The staff at the hotel also recommended that we check out the Sofitel Spa, where you can enjoy a variety of massages and facial treatments. Besides these, guests can also choose from an extensive list of manicure and pedicure treatments.
Hotel guests are able to make use of the other pool at the spa so you won’t be limited to just the hotel’s pool.
To get to Sofitel Spa, you will need to take the hotel’s shuttle bus.
The Garden
As we explored Sofitel Spa, we came across The Garden, a restaurant that is housed in a colonial-era building.
We decided to grab a bite here as we were drawn to its high ceiling and cosy ambience. We chose a seat by the window, overlooking tall trees and greenery.
Dinner at The Cliff
As part of the Infinite Couples Experience package, breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included. We had a three-course dinner at The Cliff, an Italian restaurant at Sofitel Sentosa.
My aunt remarked how she could not remember the last time she had a three-course meal in a restaurant, as she often preferred to eat home-cooked meals at home.
Besides the usual menu, there is also a menu with no pork or lard options to choose from.
Our favourite out of the three appetisers were the scallops, which were fresh and served raw. We were also shocked when the pizza came, as it was large enough to feed two very hungry people, at the very least.
My personal favourite was the spaghetti, which was savoury and creamy, though my aunt commented that she felt jelak after a while. My aunt’s favourite was the barramundi that was crispy on top and juicy and tender inside.
Breakfast at Kwee Zeen
Early the next morning, we headed for breakfast at Kwee Zeen, a restaurant in the hotel that serves Pan-Asian, Western and French cuisines.
Upon entering the restaurant, the first thing that greeted us were the restaurant’s high ceilings. We were also happy to find out that breakfast was an a la carte buffet, which meant that we could order as much food as we liked.
Breakfast has always been my favourite meal of the day, and this particular one did not disappoint. Further, after a hearty Italian dinner last night, my aunt was more than happy to tuck into a more familiar cuisine.
The pancakes were soft and fluffy, and came slathered with generous layers of maple syrup. The laksa on the other hand, was just the right amount of creamy.
Lunch at Kwee Zeen
We had a two-course lunch at Kwee Zeen, which is also included in the Klook staycation package. This time, we sat at the restaurant’s alfresco area to enjoy the warm breeze.
For the fourth time in two days, my aunt reiterated how she felt that she was on holiday because of the greenery and the fact that we were on an island. She later explained that the experience reminded her of trips to Batam, with its warm weather and sea view.
Here, we ordered the South Indian Fish Curry and Wok-fried Prawn with Salted Egg Yolk.
Overall, our favourite meal at Sofitel Sentosa Resort & Spa was dinner at The Cliff as we were able to try an assortment of Italian fare we would not normally go for.
In a blink of an eye, our Singapoliday had come to an end, but it was definitely one to remember. My aunt shared that she truly enjoyed exploring Sentosa island, feasting on good food and relaxing by the pool, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Further, exploring Sentosa again after so long gave her a sense of nostalgia as she recalled how the island used to be back in the day.
