Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa

We had a comfortable stay at Amara , big beds, clean and big washrooms. Excellent connectivity to Sentosa attractions and also to mainland. Provides free shuttle to major train/bus stations. Breakfast has enough items , but found the vegetarian fare to be below average. Fruits and other items were good. checking process was smooth though had to wait for 5 hours at reception as we arrived early and no room was available. I do feel the time could have been a bit shorter as cleaning staff took almost 2+ hrs to clean rooms, could have been expedited. Still we used up the time for breakfast and swimming in hotel pool. A la carte menu is great and the preparations are really good. ( we tried vegetarian options only ) . Tried ordering from room service but no one picked the call even after multiple attempts. The property grounds are beautiful with grand trees and lots of foliage and some peahens roaming around , cuckoo bird calls in early morning hours. Sleep quality is good, beds are soft yet firm and there is almost no noise from corridor or adjoining rooms.

Here is my review of our 4D3N stay at Amara sanctuary 1. room - decor is very dated, but clean, water pressure is good and come with the basic necessities. A tv that doesnt have any good channels and mostly doesnt work, so i watched tiktok throughout my stay. The cushion for the arm chair is very used, no support at all. But in general, the room is clean and the bed is firm & comfortable. Sound proofing is extremely bad coz im constantly woken up by people talking at the corridor coz there are just some people that dont know how to be more considerate. Was told that i had the sea view room but all i could see out my window are coconut trees. Every morning, there is also a rooster that never fails to wake u up regardless of what time u sleep. There is a snack area where kitkat & oreo are replenish daily, likewise for the drinking water. 2. Breakfast - very standard n minimal international breakfast. The kuehs are yummy. However, on the last day of my breakfast, i realised the crab stick that i took from the noodle section still has the plastic film/wrapper on and i actually cook that with my noodles without realising, so the kitchen team might wanna do a double check on that. Other than that, service from the staff are always friendly and prompt. 3. Restaurant - there is an on site restaurant and we had 2 of our dinnners there. Food is great and the service rendered by jennifier is impeccable. 4. Facilities - a gym and 2 swimming pools. We din check out the gym but the pools were kinda disappointing. The dream pool is for kids so it was rather small. The skypool is also small and not sure if it was due to the rain, the water was murky and doesnt look inviting at all. So we din use the pool during our stay. Overall the stay is relaxing and enjoyable. However, there was a little hiccup while checking-in as our reserved rooms [3 rooms, 2 connected rooms with twin beds] werent available even though we were promised that these will be available back when we booked. we specifically requested for twin beds coz our group required that. But, we were given 3 rooms with king sized beds instead. Special thanks to shaz from front desk to do a complimentary upgrade so that we can have 1 room with separate beds. Also, special shoutout to the staff uncle liu that drove us to and back from the ultra golf on the buggy, apparently he is the only one licensed to drive out of the hotel area. And the rest of the staff at the hotel, they are all very welcoming and helpful.

Extremely friendly staff! Close to Universal. Good breakfast a bit old, could use some minor cosmetic repairs
