Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa Resort Kids Set on an immaculate white-sand beach
fringed with coconut palms, this is Singapore's only true beachfront hotel. Great outdoor
activities make the Rasa Sentosa particularly attractive, with a sea-sports center, offering
windsurfing, sailing, and paddle skiing. There's a large fr ee-form swimming pool in the
gardens, a jogging track, aqua bike r entals, an outdoor Jacuzzi, and a fully equipped spa
with gym, sauna, body and facial tr eatments, hydromassage, and massage therapies. For
children, there is a separate pool with water slides (no lifeguar d, though), a playground,
a nursery, and a games room.
Each of the rooms has a balcony with a vie w over the hillside and the for t or the sea.
Go for the sea vie w. Though it's slightly more expensive, the view is exceptional, and if
you don't go for it, y ou'll be missing out on glorious mornings, thr owing back the cur-
tains, and taking in the scenery from the balcony. The resort is connected to Singapore's
downtown by frequent and free shuttles.
