Hi there! Thinking of heading out for a long weekend in August..Wondering if anyone has recently been to Singapore with a toddler and could recommend a good hotel there from the whole travelling with baby kind of perspective.. Not too fussed about whether it is very centrally located or not, although quite excited about all the food options as they sound great and of course want to take our LO to the Singapore Zoo so don't want to be extremely far from everything either..Grateful for any suggestions and recommendations! :thanks
 
Bump! Toddler Hotel/Singapore

Hi!
Also would like info regarding good hotels for toddlers in Singapore. I will be traveling with a 12 month old and 4 year old in October. We
want a hotel with a good pool for kids---at least a place where our kids could sit and play with water toys. It would be great to find a place with adjoining rooms or one bedroom suites. I appreciate any help!
 
Try Shanrila's Rasa Sentosa. Lots of stuff for kids to do at the hotel and beach and on Sentosa Island itself.

This fits the bill, but IMO it's a bit pricey since it's quite old and looking a bit tired.

On Sentosa, there's a new resort just opened. You can google for it. I'll be trying that one next time I go in November.
 
I have friends that rave about the Shangri La for kids. They take the kids to Singapore every year to go to the zoo, etc. and always stay there. I've been there...it's a very nice hotel with a great brunch.
 
Would love to hear more...

Thanks for sharing your experiences. We've actually stayed at the Beaufort Resort on Sentosa in the past (only had one young one then). Before I had found the rooms pretty large but a bit tired. I hear that it has been renovated so it's probably nicer now. It's not really geared for kids (no kids club, no wading pool) but the staff were friendly and there were large steps in the pool where our son sat and played happily with his water toys. At the time we stayed, I would have considered it about 4 stars. Maybe that has changed with the renovation.

We were hoping to try something different---have looked into the Sentosa Shang based on your advice. Also checked out the Shang in town and the Four Seasons. We haven't made a decision but will keep you posted!
 
I am going there in Aug. Is it too far to stay in Sentosa Island? i.e. not convenient to go to Orchard Road etc... Is there enough on the Island to do. I will be going there for 5 days and want to find somewhere to stay that is convenient and baby friendly. My baby will be 9-mths old. THanks.
 
Sentosa is q. far away from the main activities on the Singapore island. There are some activities and theme parks on the island itself but to travel to city, you would need to take the bus or train,which is about 20-30 minutes away by train because you still need to change train. There is however a big shopping mall that is newly built and just across the Sentosa island called Harbour front. Its a bb friendly place with some international boutiques and a whole floor of kids stuff.

Usually Sentosa is a place for getaway from the busy city. So depending on what you want from your holiday. A seaside resort getaway, i.e. Sentosa, or citylife, i.e. Orchard Road.

Along Orchard Road, there are international hotels like Shang, Ritz (expensive), Westin Stamford, Conrad. Most of the hotels should be bb friendly.

The thing about Singapore is that it is more bb friendly than HK and most places, even food courts have bb seats. So it shouldnt be a problem for your young ones.

Good luck and have fun in Singapore!

PS: heard it has been raining everyday in Singapore now so bring your brolly along!
 
Seems like so many people are headed to Singapore. No second thoughts due to the dengue outbreaks/epidemics?
We were thinking of going in August/September but started thinking October/November might be better.
 
Sentosa is a bit far from the city. If you are thinking of an resort getaway, that will be the place to go. However, if you are thinking of shopping and dining, then hotels in the city area, i.e. Orchard, would be a better bet.
 
we just went and stayed at Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel, it's not in central city but it has HUGE suites. i wanted a place with kitchen, much more convenient for me and to my surprise i got a suite that's about 1800 sq.ft. One bedroom, 2 bathrooms, kitchen... everything is nice and it's just HUMONGOUS.. so worth checking out.

has shopping center and Ah Kun Ka Ya right across it.. yumm
