Insider Tips for Raffles Sentosa Singapore
- Communication helps: The staff are highly attentive—raise any issue early, and they’ll usually go out of their way to make it right.
- Pre-book buggy rides: The resort is spread out, and buggies are the main mode of transport between villas, restaurants, and the main areas.
- Bring sunscreen—Sentosa sun is intense even in the mornings.
- Mosquito repellent is essential, especially at dusk—the resort’s landscaping attracts tropical bugs despite regular fogging.
- Room service: Excellent quality and presentation; worth trying for a private dinner by your pool.
