Marina Bay Sands hotel (http://www.marinabaysands.com)

 
• Swimming pool
• No sun bed might be available due to so many people.
• You can't find some shelter from the Sun; it may not be good for Asians. 
• Too many people in the pool for most of the time.
• Check-in / out
• It takes longer time than average; but there are not enough spots you can sit on while waiting.
• Rooms
• City view rooms are usually preferred because customers can see Marina Bay not the ocean and "Gardens by the bay".
• Room mini bar fridge
• It automatically checks what beverages customers pull out. Be careful!
• You can keep only one bottle of free water inside (no enough space).  
• TV
• A bit hard to understand the manual displayed
• Breakfast
• It's ok for me but I found many people who said it was dissatisfactory.
• Marina Bay Sands food court (connected to the hotel)
• You can save money and enjoy diversity.
