The most anticipated resort, Resorts World Sentosa, opened officially last Thursday after several delays. Save for a few shops and the hotels, most places of interest were still closed and under construction. Even so, the place already looked amazing. The following are the entryways that lead to the different inter-connected hotels and shops.
You eventually end up here where you either head to Festive Hotel and Hard Rock Hotel or the more exclusive Crockfords Tower and Hotel Michael. Em-J was checked in at the Hard Rock so we headed that way.
Lobby of the Festive Hotel filled with excited guests checking in.
We exited the hotel and headed to Hard Rock Hotel.
As the hotel was pretty busy, it felt a bit chaotic. There was no one to welcome us, the lobby was a bit too dark (picture below was already edited) and the floor a bit grimy.
The room was impressive and personalized. You can actually check your messages and account through the TV, the bathroom, however was a bit small. The shower area is about the size of a tiny closet. :(
The view is breathtaking. You can see the shared pool of the hotel complete with lounges and white sand!
There was a constant drilling sound when we checked-in, we asked to be transferred to another room but the hotel was fully booked. (I actually didn't get to spend the night so I didn't know if the drilling sound continued on.) There was also cement all over the table and the drain was clogged. Minor inconveniences since it was still new. Though, I thought this should have been ironed out during the dry run. Overall, while impressive, given the rack rates currently published, I feel it is a bit overpriced.
