Stayed at 1929, Hotel - Singapore, Singapore.
|
I was very surprised by the amount of nightlife in Singapore: Clarke Quay, Mohammed Sultan Road and the discos of Orchard Road to name a few. The cover charges are a bit high, but the evening sightseeing is excellent!

Stayed at Raffles Hotel - Singapore, Singapore.
|
Dining at the posh Raffles Grill was excellent. Be advised: A jacket is required and no sandals are permitted. Be sure to visit the Long Bar for the famous Singapore Sling! I'd also recommend the Sampler and Long Beer.
Raffles is located near the best places to visit in Singapore including Raffles City, the Chimes, Funan Shopping Mall and the Esplanade. You could walk to most of these locations from the hotel. You could also take a pedicab, but bargain with them as they can charge higher than a taxi for the same destination.

Stayed at City Bayview Hotel, Singapore - Singapore, Singapore.
|
Next to City Bayview hotel is a 7-eleven store, medication for sale in times of emergency, drinking water etc, also a kopi-tiam and rows of hawker stalls available within 2 min walking distance. MRT is convenient and cheap, lots of underground shopping centres, even without having to shop with an umbrella if it rains. All shopping malls in Singapore are connected to each other. If you got extra time, there are many places of interest to visit such as the Science centre, Night safari in the zoo, etc.

Stayed at Phoenix Singapore - Singapore, Singapore.
|
We arrived late at night 10pm at hotel. However before retiring we took a walk up Orchard Rd and were amazed that although the shops were closed there were still heaps of people walking the streets. Wonderfully warm balmy night.
The next day we purchased our metro tickets and decided to do a complete circle around the island. It was for us a great way to experience Singapore itself. We stopped at the waterfront where we could catch a cable car ride over to Sentosa Island. As we had a limited stayover in Singapore we only visited the Butterfly & Insect Park, and the Aquarium. The Aquarium was fabulous and very similar in some respects to our own Kelly Tarlton here in Auckland. Buses on Sentosa were frequent and easy to use to get around and on the whole we think Sentosa Island is worth the visit. Later on we walked along the boat quay, not so nice that day as the canal smelled very badly and there was hardly anyone around early afternoon. The restaurants at the boat quay at night apparently transform the place once populated with customers.
As we only had one day's stopover we filled the afternoon with shopping for electronic gadgets and there were heaps of shops around for that. We had hoped to visit the night safari at the zoo but were too tired out that night to make it. I have heard it's excellent though. Overall Singapore is a great city, very clean and beautifully warm all day and night. Crowded in Orchard Rd but never did we feel unsafe there at any time. I'd love to visit again as there are lots of things we never had time for.

Stayed at Berjaya Hotel, Duxton Road - Singapore, Singapore.

Get a pamphlet from East Tours to get a pretty good idea of what's on offer. The City Tour is great if it is your first time in Singapore, it orients you to everything. I went on the Kukup and Orchid Farm all day Tour and had a ball. Batik factory and pewter included, not as good as the big places in Singapore, but anything you buy in Kukup is a steal. I am wearing a lovely soft pair of trews, cost SG9.00, how can you go wrong! And the fish meal was to die for..crab, prawns, whole fish, chicken, vegetables etc etc. A good day.

Stayed at Marina Mandarin Singapore - Singapore, Singapore.
|
A couple of minutes walk away from the Marina Mandarin is Raffles Hotel. The sports bar is worth a visit for one drink, but it is expensive - personally we thought it was slightly over-rated but at least we can say we've been!
We had an excellent meal in the Blue Ginger - an Asian restaurant in Chinatown. They were recommended in the Rough Guide and frankly did not disappoint! The food was wonderful and costs pretty reasonable.
If you want a lively bar that caters for all music tastes, head to Zouk in the centre - it's huge and open til 3am.

Stayed at Fraser Place Serviced Residences Singapore - Singapore, Singapore.
|
We visited Sentosa Island, Fort Canning Park, Raffles Hotel, Chinatown, Night Safari, The British Club, the University of Chicago Singapore Campus and shopping opportunities throughout Singapore. The Long Bar at Raffles and the restaurant in Raffles on the street level provided an overall flavor for local cuisine and the famous Singapore Sling.
Robertson Walk has good dining and entertainment. Local courtesy and excellent service were hallmarks of our visit to Singapore. Very safe.

Stayed at M Hotel - Singapore, Singapore.
|
Singapore is the place to go if you want to buy electronics, although be warned, many products such as notebook computers have a different spec to those in USA or Europe, and features advertised on US websites may not be available in Singapore. The birdpark at Jurong is worth visiting for an amazing array of birds from all climates around the world.

Stayed at Raffles The Plaza - Singapore, Singapore.

Indochean restaurant opposite Boat Quay is a must visit. The food and service was the best I'd experienced in a long time and the view was stunning.
