June Holidays 2021
We booked a 3D2N staycation at Equarius Hotel, Resorts World Sentosa. It was a bundle package with 2 adult tickets to Universal Studio and Sea Aquarium. It was a perfect getaway for us and the kids. We used our Singapore Rediscover Vouchers to purchase the kids tickets to USS and Sea Aquarium.
When Phase 2 Heightened Alert kicked in end of May 2021, we were really hoping and praying that things would get better as the social gathering was downsized to 2 persons. We didn't want to cancel our staycation because it was something that the kids were so looking forward to. So we waited and waited...and we were so so lucky!!! The weekend where we had booked for our staycation, the measures were lifted to increase social gatherings to 5 persons! But we still had to dine in for all our meals, but that didn't deter us from having a great time at Sentosa!
Check in can be made personally at the e-kiosk. And there was ample space for waiting while 1 family member goes to the e-kiosk to check in.
Check in was relatively smooth and we got our rooms pretty quick, say about 30 mins wait? Equarius rooms were definitely spacious as compared to other hotel rooms in Singapore. We had a large balcony overlooking Adventure Cove and cable cars from Harbourfront to Sentosa. It was a beautiful and scenic view.
Above: Some rations which we brought in case of emergencies. You never know when a kid gets hungry and you know that you can't dine in immediately. So we packed quite a few different types of dry snacks to pack when we are out and about. For the adults, we packed some instant noodles, instant pasta and soup, just incase we are not able to find some food for takeaways.
Both Jules and James were super excited, watching TV and jumping on the bed. This view was taken from the bathroom where there is a huge window overlooking into the bedroom. While the boys were jumping on the bed, hubs blew up Jades' unicorn float as we managed to book our swimming pool slot later in the afternoon at 5pm.
5pm: The kids went for a cold dip before we headed out to look for dinner. The pool was a short walk from the hotel wing. Not many people were using the pool so we had many photos with the beautiful backdrop of the beach villas and cable cars.
630pm: Time to head out to search for our dinner, factoring time to buy dinner and bring back to our rooms to eat. There is a shuttle bus every 15mins that goes around RWS, so it's very convenient.
haha...unanimous choice - McDonalds. We bought 3 happy meals where each of our kids had an avenger plushie keychain and burgers for us.
What I really like about Equarius Hotel amidst this pandemic period is the large space given for families like us (with 3 kids) and a table sofa settee for us to eat properly as a family. So families with 3 kids or more like us, we definitely recommend here!
