Sentosa Isle Resort

The business trip over the weekend on Sentosa Isle, Singapore turned out to be exquisite and exciting after all !

The resort looked threadbare and normal from the front entrance but the deeper I explored the grounds the more beautiful it got.

The first thing that greeted me after the regular hotel lobby was this huge Lotus pond with a tree islet in the middle flanked by walkways on the left and right and orchid pots. This let onto an open-air bar-cum-lounge where huge rattan easy chairs and small coffee tables just begged for passers-by to relax and enjoy the scenery before heading to their respective rooms.

The next morning as I did some exploring in between the boring corporate meetings, I realised that the grounds also had domesticated peacocks which aren't afraid of tourists coming up to them to take pics.

Continuing the cool tropical architecture was this poolside attraction. It's not clear in the picture, but the grey-black walls behind the stone-grill are actually cascading waterwalls which falls onto the pool upon whic the stone grill is set upon.
Exquisite !

And finally, the low lighting and open air concept for the Terrace Cafe where most meals were had set an intimate atmosphere perfect for wining and dining with beautiful strangers.

In summary, I'm glad I actually went for the trip (despite my belly-aching in earlier posts) because I managed to get exposed to such beauty on Sentosa.

P.S. the timetable was SO packed that I unfortunately didn't have enough time for shopping in Orchard Road nor enjoy the topless sunbathers and body-beautiful people on Siloso Beach.

Ah well...there's always future business trips in the future to look forward to then!
