I chose “Capella Hotel Singapore,” because I wanted to relax in the pool and go to a theme park rather than sightseeing, and I was looking for a hotel on Sentosa Island. Some hotels were closer to Resorts World Sentosa, but this hotel seemed more higher class, so I decided to stay here.
What is the appearance of the hotel? Check the entrance and reception
The hotel is close to the main road, but surrounded by a forest so it was a relaxing space. The exterior is an elegant European style building.
There were a ceiling fans at the entrance.
The lobby is rather small, so you may have to share the sofa with other guests.
The lobby overlooks the courtyard and the pool on the 3rd floor, so the view is very nice. The hallway is an atrium with a central courtyard, making the area feel open. Overall, the lobby was a calm space.

What is the Garden View Room like>?
Guest room door.
There was a bathroom on the right and a full length mirror on the left.
The room I stayed in this time had a garden view. I was impressed with the use of the latest digital devices, such as the curtains opening and closing automatically, and the room’s electricity and air conditioner being controlled with a tablet.
The room had wooden materials creating a warm space.
The bed was very big and mattress was just the right hardness. There were two large pillows with one hard and one soft. There was only one comforter, but they smelled clean.
There was a TV.
On the desk was a phone, memo set and hotel information.
There was also a box with writing utensils which was very considerate of the hotel.
The sofa was not only big, but it was also useful to organize my luggage on top of it.
The room seen from the balcony.
The balcony was big with arm chairs and tables.
The view of the garden was very nice.
However, you cannot see the famous things on Sentosa Island (for example, USS or Sentosa Summer Lion), just the forest and the ocean behind it. It may be a little unsatisfying for some people. However, it was a noisy at sightseeing spots, so it was a luxury to be able drink tea on the balcony while listening to the birds chirping.

Bathroom
The bathtub, shower room and toilet were all separated.
There was a window next to the bathtub and I could see the outside view through the balcony. Of course, there is a curtain which you can close to maintain privacy.
The bathtub had a shower, but I did not know how to use it. It was a little dirty from not being cleaned well.
There was wash towel, but the texture was a little rough.
There were two types of shower: a rain shower on the ceiling and a shower fixed on the wall. The water pressure could be adjusted and made quite strong. The temperature can reach up to around 42 °C.
The shower space was equipped with Aesop shampoo, conditioner and body soap.
The sink seen form the bathtub and shower.
The toilet room was spacious.
There was sanitary bag prepared by the toilet.
There were two sinks with a stool in the middle.
Amenities were prepared on the sink. There were toothbrush sets, combs, nail files, cotton, swabs, shower caps, and Aesop soap. Since there are no skin care products prepared, you will need to bring lotion or cream on your own.

Restaurants in the hotel
There are two restaurants; a Chinese-style restaurant and a Western-style restaurant. This time, I went to the Western-style restaurant called “The Noles.”
Inside the restaurant.
Terrace seating.
It was Western style restaurant, but local dishes were also on the menu.
The steak was soft and very delicious. I recommend the Chocolate cake dessert.

Facilities in the hotel
There are three pools, each on different floors, and all the pools are infinity pools. The pool in the middle has 50cm in depth and is suitable for children. All pools have benches and bath towels prepared. The staff will bring you cold water for free.
Pool hours are 7:00 – 19:00 and cannot be used at night. There were not many people swimming in the pool, so it was almost a private pool. There were some leaves floating in the pool, but overall it was very clean.
This hotel was the venue for the US-North Korea summit held in June 2018, and the commemorative plate was embedded in the hallway.

Hotel surroundings
Although it is a little far from the beach, it is close to Resort World Sentosa, where USS is located, and Sentosa Summer Lion. There are only forests and roads around the hotel, so it is inconvenient to walk around. However, since there is a free bus, you can get to places easily. You can hear people screaming at USS at the bus stop in front of the hotel, but it is quiet inside the hotel. Many tourists came by car and parked in the streets.

Staff and guests
My tour guide asked the staff to explain about the monorail and bus system, but I did not receive any explanation, so I was a little disappointed with the staff. However, when I ordered room service, they brought me the wrong dish by mistake, but prepared a free dish for afterwards. The response was quick and sincere.
I saw many families staying at this hotel. The children were about 3-10 years old, but they were all well behaved.

Access
This time I used a tour company, so it was about 20 minutes from the airport on the highway. It was a little crowded got into Sentosa Island. The Capella Hotel is close to the island. There are no convenience stores near the hotel, so if you need something, you will have to get on the bus to the nearest store. If you get on a bus or monorail, it is easy to get to anywhere. You can take a buggy transfer from the hotel to the big road, and there is a free bus stop right at front. Since you can get a monorail pass, you can go back and forth between Sentosa and the main island as many times as you like.

Summary
The bedside table and the sink had a dirk color to it, so I could see that it was a little dusty. The staff who helped me was kind and polite, so you I did not mind even when there was a problem. Despite being located in the center of Sentosa Island, the hotel is very quiet and peaceful. Sentosa Island itself is like an amusement park, and wherever you go there are tourists, flashy music, and glittering lights, so it was nice to be able to get away from all of that and relax in the room. My plan was to relax in the hotel instead of going sightseeing, so staying at this hotel was the right chose for me.
