Want a family holiday without traveling out of Singapore? You can still do so at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). RWS is a destination and its inclusiveness makes it an ideal holiday destination – be it for couples, friends or families.

With numerous hotels on the island and even more restaurants, celebrate Christmas and enjoy yourselves to the fullest at RWS without even stepping out of the resort. There are some really irresistible festive staycay deals. We had a preview and boy, were we recharged after a short respite without actual traveling!

This Christmas, look forward to an adventure at RWS. From a luxurious hotel stay to really delectable meals, treat yourselves to some fun on the island! P.S. we found it so hard to check out and we might just return. See you if we see you!

We spent a night at Equarius Hotel and it was a marvellous experience from start to end. Everything we needed for a holiday, we ticked it off from our stay.

Our family of three checked in without much delays. The process was smooth and the security checks were stringent to ensure all guests are safe. Our accommodation of the night was the Deluxe Suite with pool access, and it was perfect for our little daughter who gets excited over the sight of swimming pools. The convenience! We could just jump straight into the pool anytime, and the best part?

The exclusive hotel lap pool is only available for those who book the Deluxe Room/Suite with pool access.

We spent a good hour or two relaxing on the plush bed and enjoying the breeze on the outdoor deck chairs before heading out for an afternoon tea.

For guests of Equarius Hotel, there is an option for you to add-on an afternoon tea session, but due to overwhelming response, it has been sold out. However, you can still visit Ocean Restaurant for their set lunch menus which start from $68++ (do note that it is not included in the hotel package) or select it as your choice of festive dinner (included in the hotel package).

‘High Tea in the Deep Sea’ afternoon tea was quite an experience. Indulge in an afternoon tea session with your loved ones at Ocean Restaurant. We were so thrilled by the underwater dining experience and it was really not your typical afternoon tea.

Enjoy freshly-prepared canapés and decadent sweet treats while getting lost in the wondrous aquarium. Our daughter was pretty bewildered by the experience and she didn’t want to leave.

We wasted no time and went back to our Suite to luxuriate further; that was how much we enjoyed our stay! Our daughter was kept occupied with her toys while we caught up with our Netflix drama at the lounge area. Yes, the Suite is huge if you do book it. There are many corners to enjoy and relax; truly an experience that we will never forget.

If you book a 2D1N Joyous Stay-In Package at Resorts World Sentosa, it comes with a Festive Dinner Menu for two at Syun, table65, Osia Steak and Seafood Grill, Ocean Restaurant or CURATE CUCINA PISANA.

We had dinner at table65 and it was a gastronomical affair. Helmed by the culinary masterminds behind Amsterdam’s Two MICHELIN Star Restaurant, dining at table65 is an intimate affair. The open-kitchen concept allows guests to freely interact with the chefs, and to discover more about what goes on in the kitchen before your food goes onto your plates.

Throughout our dinner, we were given insights by Chef de Cuisine, Dayal Kesha on how each dish was prepared, the inspiration behind, the star ingredient(s), so on and so forth. It was delighting for the senses, to say the least. We savoured our 4-course dinner with much anticipation, and each course just got better and more intricate.

The highlights had to be our main course and dessert. The BBQ Duck with foie gras, blueberry, aigre doux and confit of chestnut was executed with masterly finesse. First of all, local ducks from Toh Thye San farm are used so as to support local.

Every duck is being brined before being dry-aged, and despite using only the breast, the meat was unbelievably tender. Before being served, the chef dries the skin of the duck with a hair dryer-like industrial dryer to give the skin a little crisp. We would totally go back to table65 for this stellar dish!

Ending with a bang was the Apple, Salted Caramel, Puff Pastry & Walnut dessert that was so aesthetically-pleasing, we couldn’t believe our eyes when we first saw it! Constructed with precision, the shape of the apple is really a sugar bubble that breaks upon hitting it gently with a spoon. That is how delicate it is! The “core” of the apple is fresh apple sorbet, and the “seeds” are chocolate. How incredibly creative of the dessert chef, huh!

Our bellies were so happy and we returned back to our Suite feeling mighty pleased with our stay thus far. Oh, before we forget, this festive dinner also comes with 2 glasses of complimentary champagne when you book the 2D1N Joyous Stay-In package at Resorts World Sentosa. Perfect!

Wake up to an intimate breakfast experience at a restaurant within Equarius Hotel. Choose from International and Continental Breakfast sets, and welcome the day with a hearty start.

Take a dip in one of the nicest swimming pools in Singapore. This huge pool at Beach Villas is open to all Equarius Hotel guests, and it is truly a tranquil space. Frolicking in the pool was the perfect end to our staycay, and we really can’t wait to be back!
