Costa Sands Resort, Sentosa

Location was good as it was very close to the beach. Pricing was good compared to other places in Sentosa.

Property is very strict with check in and check out timing. For smokers, you would need to walk outside the hotel to smoke since it is strictly non smoking in the premises. Food is average.

Near beach

Rooms

The pool was quite good, it had a shallow and deep end and was warm. The resort seemed family friendly with the onsite restaurant able to put together barbecue packs for barbecuing in picnic area by the pool as well as having an arcade area. The twin room had a full bathroom with a shower and screen. The staff were very friendly. The price was very good when compared to other accommodation on the island.

The accommodation is quite dated and could use some maintenance. The shower in our room wasn't working the first night and we had to ask for maintenance on the second day. The water pressure and temperature wasn't great and the shower screen leaked from the screen. Housekeeping came in while maintenance was in the room so left but didn't return. The beds were too soft, the single pillow they gave us was quite flat and on requesting whether we could have a second pillow we were told there was an additional fee. The arcade was cool but half the games were out of order. There was no elevators so had to reach our room by climbing the stairs. The tiles around pool were very slippery even without being saturated and with simply walking caused me to fall over. Checkout time is relatively early at 10.30 am.

Let me think about that...

Not how as the photos showed. Pillows sting. Room is stuffy and dim. Still have to pay the entry to the Sentosa, taunted by the rude staff who said " because we are the most economical accommodation in the area", which, in fact, it's not true price wise. Outdated facility, you cannot charge your devices cause you need the only room card they give you to activate the electricity.
