I Stayed at the Most Expensive Hotel in SINGAPORE | Marina Bay Sands Worth it?

[@ronaldhee6608]

Minor point, chewing gum isn't illegal. You just cannot buy it locally, except for dental gum. You can bring it in from overseas for personal consumption. Thanks for a great video about Singapore! I often say, this country is 15 minutes into the future. :)

[@kenloong2327]

You are half correct, you can bring gum into Singapore but you must dispose it properly if not you still have to pay the fine.

[@garfieldandfriends1]

Sales of chewing gum is actually what is illegal. Edit : ICA can still confiscate/dispose your bubble gum if found in large quantities or when found during random checks at custom regardless of amount.

Welcome to Singapore and thanks for visiting Singapore. This was not your first trip to Singapore. I appreciate you guys sharing your positive views about Singapore. You guys had an option to stay in a much inexpensive hotel, however you guys paid much more to have a experience to stay a day at marina bay sands. As a proud Singaporean myself i am glad that you guys explaining about the cleanliness in Singapore and the safety in Singapore. I also loved you guys enjoying our local food at our hawker centres. There are more hawker centres at our heartlands where you would be able to find more inexpensive food options where we locals dine. Maybe for your next travel to Singapore, it would be in your bucket list. Thanks again for your awesome vlog. I am looking forward for more vlogs from you guys. Cheers and Happy New Year wishes to you guys !!!

[@thepanel2935]

Yes, you can't swim in the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool if you're not a guest, but you CAN visit the two rooftop bars at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel and one of them is situated directly beside the infinity pool. It's a top spot for a sunset or evening drink. They are some of the best bars in the world, but they're not cheap - expect to pay around $20 USD for a beer. (It was $22 Singapore dollars for a beer last time I was there, which was a year or two ago. For me, that's around $26 Australian dollars.)

[@joshf-w9602]

Not cheap but for me it’s a lot more palatable than paying $1000-$1500 per night just to get the same view from the pool. For me MBS is great for people who aren’t really interested in getting the proper cultural experience and just want to spent most of the day in the hotel which is fine but I prefer staying around Chinatown, Bugis or Orchard Rd where you have so many more things that are within a 5-10min walk

[@thepanel2935]

@@joshf-w9602 I usually stay around South Bridge Road, which is near the Singapore River and the Bugis Bridge. (On the south side of the Bugis Bridge it is called South Bridge Road, and on the north side of the bridge it is called North Bridge Road, which leads up to the 'Raffles Complex' shopping centre, which is _not_ the same as Raffles Hotel.) This area around the Bugis Bridge is right beside the Boat Quay (bars and restaurants) and the Parliament building. I love Singapore!

I always look forward to seeing what you discover.😎

[@thepanel2935]

I shoot travel stock photography and commercial /editorial images. That green mesh fabric that covers some of the room exteriors of MBS seems to be the rooms that are under renovation or renewal. It really kills photos of the MBS! I've visited Singapore so often that I can now walk around like a local with good local knowledge of which road leads where... and if your time in Singapore is limited, you should mainly focus on the Marina Bay precinct which is also near the Gardens By The Bay (botanic gardens) and the immensely popular Merlion precinct. There's also the Esplanade precinct (the concert venue precinct) on the other side of Marina Bay, away from MBS, near Raflles Avenue.

[@kims8317]

I LOVE SINGAPORE!!! I've only been there once. I didn't stay at this hotel, but I did take the elevator up to a lounge fairly high up in the hotel, a lounge that anyone can go to even if you're not staying there, and I enjoyed a glass of wine while I overlooked the water and the city. BEAUTIFUL! It is my dream to stay there for either a night or a whole weekend, as you did. Thank you for making this video.

You should go to the hot pool in the gym locker room with sauna and a steam room too. Helps with aching muscles. Glad you came back to tick your MBS bucketlist. I was at MBS on staycation for 2 nights from Monday till Wednesday. You can always request for more juices, soft drinks and snacks. I stayed there on my own and called up the room service for additional 6 bottles of OJ but I did tip the chamber maid :) Btw, since you are from the Big Apple, go try Urban Hawker in Manhattan. It's the one and only authentic Singapore food and have great reviews. Go do review there :)

I think there's nothing wrong with taking those free small hygiene kits, coffee, slippers, teas, etc. as long as they are meant to be replaced. I've read a comment of a hotel staff and he said that those stuff are being replaced the moment you checked out the room. So it's less hassle for them if you take home those stuff because it much easier for them to put new ones.

That room is usually SGD900+ although I paid half the price on both my stays. I suppose bkg fr US, the price hiked.

That's not the most expensive hotel In Singapore. Hotels like Capella, Shangri-la, Ritz Carlton, Raffles Hotel St Regis to name a few usually cost more.

[@julianacarroll9691]

Yes they do.. however Marina Bay Sands has LOTS of luxury things to offer. So yes they are more expensive but sometimes Marina Bay is better than those hotels. Another thing you also have to keep in mind is the fact that some places have better customer service than others, and I’m not hating on any of these hotels. Just trying to clear some things up. :D

I would say if you have the money, do it... stay in an expensive hotel when traveling abroad, but if you're going to be gone for a whole week, I'd say spend the rest in cheaper accomodations to save money. Maybe on the last day, if you're in a big city, stay in the nicest hotel.... that's what I would do. I actually do this when visiting places like Las Vegas. I might stay one night at the Bellagio, and the rest at cheaper hotels off the strip, to sort of mix it up abit, but also stay comfortably for one night and experiencing the strip first hand while not spending a ton (as the Bellagio can easily be $300 a night or more depending on when you go -- although I tend to go there on the offseason so things are a bit cheaper).
