Recharge and spend the night @
1) THE SENTOSA AND SPA RESORT
Located at the top of the cliff, it gives you overview of the South China Sea. 
The attractive point of the resort is that it offers Turkish-style steam baths and MUD pool which is the first in the region! However, check out the price before checking in as a night can cost up to S$2,000. If you have the cash, it is worth to try out the Pool Villa which includes a personal terrace and swimming pool. Do not forget to pamper your stomach at The Terrace Cafe after finishing your spa.
Accommodation Rates:
Ranging from S$380+++ to S$2,000+++ per room per night (subject to prevailing taxes)
2) RASA SENTOSA RESORT, SINGAPORE
The first impression is of an old model resort, with blue and white as the exterior colour.
Yet looks can be deceiving. Inside, there a large swimming pool where kids can be seen sliding down the pool slide while many are sun tanning. As for the foodie, there is a wide range of food from Mediterranean fare to Asian-inspired cuisine. It is definitely a 5 star hotel which does not disappoint.
Accommodation Rates:
Ranging from S$375++ per room per night (subject to prevailing taxes)

3) COSTA SANDS RESORT
Beside the usual facilities, it surprise me that there are video games machines in the resort, those which can be seen in arcades. In addition, there is a ‘coffee shop’ in the resort, which will remind me of the coffee shop under my block and can give tourists a feel of the heartland. On the other hand, there are 15 Kampung huts which is a plus value for the resort, where you can get a taste of the ‘traditional’ living instead of the usual air-conditioned room.
Accommodation Rates:
Ranging from S$80nett to S$150nett per room per night (subject to seasonal rates)
I would recommend you to choose the Costa Sands Resort. Why? Firstly there is the Kampung huts which I think can give you a totally different experience, a similar taste of the past living conditions in Singapore, yet at the same time, it is not too uncomfortable for you to have a good rest. Secondly, it has a HDB style coffee shop, allowing you see the local life if you have no time to visit the HDB estate. Lastly, it is the cheapest compared to the other 2 resorts. In addition, there is now year end, xmas and also new year package, future ruducing the price for Costa Sands Resort.
3) TANJONG BEACH
Too bad I do not have the other half yet! This beach is more for couples where the skyline of the mystery night with twinkling lights of ships docked nearby may give you the simple yet romantic place for proposing. And it is free!!
In general, Sentosa is the place where you can have lots of ADRENLINE rush. But mind you, the prices are steep, especially the food. So to save up the money for more worthwhile stuffs, buy your items at VivoCity. “Come and discover your own adventure at Sentosa!”

Beaches @
Free and easy time at the beach! The beach here is definitely cleaner and the PLUS point is that the sand is finer than the usual sand around the rest of Singapore beaches.

1) PALAWAN BEACH
Palawan beach is more for handing out with friends. This is where the suspension bridge that links to the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia is. Grab your camera and start camstorting on the long range bridge. You can either have fun throwing your friend into the deep blue WATER,
or just lie down under the smooth fine sand for a FREE spa. If not, you can choose to surf the net as there is the wireless internet access.

Personally, out of the 3 beaches, I love Siloso beach the best! This is so as this is where the hulks are (for guys babes). They are such a charm when playing volleyball that you can’t help but keep on staring at them. If I have the S-shaped body and skills, I will quickly change into bikini and get down to a game with them. Sadly, i lack both, only able to stand at the sideline and take PHOTOGRAPHS =p of them. Well, get into your Bikini / Bermudas and be ready to dive for the ball!
Getting there: Blue Line Bus; Red Line Bus; Siloso Beach Tram; Sentosa Express (Alight at Beach Station).
3) TANJONG BEACH

PLUS POINT: Refill your water bottle at various water cooler located at around Sentosa!
MegaZip Adventure Park
The newest adventure in town, MegaZip Adventure Park consists of 3 segments, the MegaZip, ClimbMax and ParaJump.
2) CLIMBMAX
Treetop adventure including 3 different levels, ranging as high 12 m! It is a scary yet refreshing experience, and I can proudly say that I NEGOTIATE through the whole ‘walk’ in the course of narrow beams, ropes and nets.... with the feelings of a roller coaster. PLUS POINT: climb all the way to the top for a scenic view!

1) MEGAZIP
Flying at the speed of 50km/h down the longest and steepest Flying Fox in Asia MegaZip, there is no worry
about the safety as there is the newly patented ZipR™ trolley, which will ensure gentle landings. Definitely worth to give it a try where you can have a bird eye view of Palawan Bench. PLUS POINT: fly past the sea and land off at a little island.
Adrenaline Cost: $29

3) PARAJUMP
It is the cheapest among the other 2 attraction, and even look the simplest. But do not be deceived by the look. 15 m or 5 storeys above the ground, the attraction is also the easiest to complete. Step one foot out, and off you go into a freefall parachute jump! Only obstacle: the faith in lifting that small step forward, for the short yet addictive burst of adrenaline rush! PLUS POINT: I took 7mins to get ready for that JUMP, what about you?

Adrenaline Cost: $10
If you do mind the prices, you can actually opt for the Combo Package of MegaZip & ClimbMax (2 circuit) which cost $59, saving you $9. And of all the attractions in Sentosa, MegaZip Adventure Park ClimbMax is the one that I most like myself!
Opening Hours: 2pm-7pm on Monday to Saturday 11am- 7pm on Sunday & Public holiday
Location: Imbiah Hill Road
Naturewalk
It is free admission and is a 1.8km trail. Yet on the walk, it do not feel like a 1.8km trail, and it is actually quite boring experience. This may be due to the fact that it is a secondary rainforest. On the other hand, if you would just want to unwind or take a slow stroll with your love ones, this is the right place on the island. If not, maybe you would instead head down to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve for the original (primary) rainforest, located near the centre of Singapore.
PLUS POINT: FREE
