Hassel free & tickets were purchased on ground via Klook. Surely cheaper than paying direct to merchandiser. There wasn’t many crowds, probably because Tuesday is Waterpark weekly closure day, people are not aware they are opened during Singapore School Holiday?

great location for a getaway from the city, 1hr30min drive from CIQ. breakfast spread was ok with great variety, pool and entertainment (cycling and watersport) sadly only open from 7am to 7pm Beach have benches and kid friendly entertainment (sand castle kit) available . TV in the room is the older version, unable to be connected via chromecast or miracast for apple user sadly. Pool water and water has very strong chroline (to make water cleaner maybe) making hair very damaged. Otherwise good stay!
