Festive Hotel @ Resorts World Sentosa

I stayed at Festive Hotel a couple of nights during my visit to Universal Studios Singapore. I didn't take as many photos, so I'll try to keep this brief.



I found little help from the (lack of) signs to point me to the Hotel while walking from the theme park. As a result, I had to ask a couple of staff to point us in the right direction.

The hotel isn't entirely complete yet. There should have been a shorter route to the hotel, but its been blocked off due to construction works. We had to take a longer route through Festive Walk. Here's a pic of the "balloons" at Festive Hotel:



The swimming pool area was also under construction. The construction din started at around 8.30 AM, even though a letter in the hotel room stated that construction would begin from 10.30 AM every day. We found out though that we could use the pool at Hard Rock Hotel, which was good. We didn't encounter much in the way of dust or smell.

Upon check-in, we were given a room at Level 6, which placed us pretty far away from the construction at the lower levels. Each floor had a snack vending machine (the one on our level had broken down) as well as a ice vending machine dispensing free ice.



Because all the Deluxe Rooms had been snapped up ahead of time, we had to book the Deluxe Family instead. It comes with a "loft bed". As frequently commented on, the bed seemed to be placed too high - about 2m off the floor. You'd have to be careful of kids climbing up the ladder unsupervised.



As you can see, even though its pretty new, there's already signs of wear and tear. Note the arrow peeling off - might have occurred naturally, or more likely the handiwork of some itchy hands.

The lobby of the hotel (as well as that of Hotel Michael) was pretty small, compared to that of Hard Rock Hotel. The dessert cafe, Boulangerie, next to the Festive Hotel lobby had great tasting ice-cream though, at S$2 (without GST) a scoop:



It's quite disappointing given the price tag of S$353 (nett) a night, the hotel room doesn't come with any breakfast. I had stayed at TDR Official Hotels (which could range from below S$200 to over S$400 a night) that had breakfast provided.

Festive Walk had a nightly performance consisting of water and fire effects at the fountain area. I found it quite average - TDR's nightly fireworks were (obviously) much more impressive and effective.

All in all, an average experience.
