Sentosa - Passe?

To me, the image of Sentosa had been a place where going there demands tremendous effort; since it is mighty far from my home (at least to me) and thereafter expends my cash like nobody's business. Reason
being, the entrance fees are expensive and food are priced a notch higher.

However, in recent years, I have observed numerous changes to Sentosa with the biggest in these 2 years with the arrival of the Resorts World integrated resort. The landscape and skyline at Siloso beach is a lot more interesting now. Hotels, beach bars and other complimentary facilities are present to fight for a slice of action there.

Siloso beach is close to my heart as it is the more populated and develped sector compared to the other beaches at Sentosa. There are beach cafes like cafe del mar and a slew of other fun activities like beach volleyball. But I do go to Tanjong beach if I crave more me time. Tanjong beach is also the place to go if you wanna see dogs having fun with the owners.

If not the beach, Spa Botanica is another of my fave place where I chill out there for spa treatments twice annually. Getting there is convenient as there is a shuttle bus that brings you right at the door step from Vivocity. The spa package I usually take includes a healthy lunch, massage, body scrub and body wrap. This alone will take about 2 to 2.5 hours. Thereafter, it is off to enjoying the mud pool, jacuzzi and swimming pools. Such fun as I recall the last time I went there! :) Oh, I also squeeze in some reading time by the pool; there are 2 by the way. If you find the need to break a sweat, venture on to the nearly gym. I usually don't as by the time I'm done with all these activities, it's already sun down time.

Now with Resorts World and Universal Studios open, Sentosa has become a lot more interesting. I visited Resorts World with my family a few months back and really liked the landscape and the buildings. Universal Studios, I may try at another time.

Overall, I must say that Sentosa had made tremendous strides these past years to attract local and foreign visitors. I will still visit as a visitor, albeit an occasional one. So there! :)
