When you pass through immigration at Singapore's gleaming new Changi Airport, the official who stamps your passport will smile and offer you a sweet. There is a bowl of them, individually wrapped in waxed paper, ready on his desk. My wife and I smiled in return, accepted the offering, ... Read review

Diamond review   And so clean
Review of Singapore by torr

Advantages: A modern city-state that works
Disadvantages: But somewhat soullessly

...is a local saying that Singapore is a 'fine' city - kept fine by fines. First-time litterbugs carelessly disposing of a sweet-paper or cigarette butt have to fork out S$1000 (£350), repeat offenders more. They won't, of course, be disposing of chewing gum because it's banned totally, with import, sale and even possession being against the law. Fortunately, chewing gum is not among my vices and we passed safely through customs and in no time were ...
...been told that taxis in Singapore were cheap. In the event, the fare worked out at about S$18 (£6). We could have saved a fiver by taking the quick, slick air-conditioned MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) train shuttle at the standard fare of just S$1.70 (60p) each, but it just didn't seem worth the hassle of finding our way to and from its stations on a hot, sticky evening. The drive is rather pleasant. Flowering tropical shrubs and shady palms fringe the ... Read review

Uniquely Singapore!
Review of Singapore by ukusa

Advantages: Shopping, Cleanliness, Nice People
Disadvantages: HEAT!!!

...No trip is complete to Singapore without a look around the famous Raffles Hotel. Raffles Hotel opened in 1887 and is one of the last great 19th century hotels. Many famous people have stayed here and Singaporeans enjoy telling stories of the people who have graced the Raffles rooms. The hotel has been given a "face-lift" and the grandeur of it is impressive! It now houses, not only the hotel which are suite only rooms, but also 70 shops and restaurants. ...
...is the ONLY place in Singapore where you are allowed to litter!!! Each table has a large bowl of peanuts and the shells can be thrown on the floor! We were hungry, so we had Sunday brunch which was an amazing buffet of seafood and meats! The service was excellent and we never had to ask for anything as our needs were anticipated. Well, it is said that the second most popular activity in Singapore to eating was shopping. So, off we went to explore ... Read review

I have stayed in a few Singapore hotels, and generally the standard is extremely good, so I was surprised to be so disappointed with The Miramar. I chose it because I was on a stopover and got a cheap deal. As I have seen the sights of Sing before,... more
