Hi,

I just spent 7 nights there in a 49th floor club room week before last. The rooms are fine, but not luxury, the city view pretty spectacular. Taking breakfast and evening drinks in the sky park club is really really nice. The club has a lot of glass so you can see ocean & city depending which way you look, as well as that crazy infinity pool.

There is also a pretty stupendous mall in the complex, along with the casino & meeting facilities. It's a very busy place.

Drawbacks are cost. Like almost $350 Singapore for a 4 person somewhat mediocre lunch in Ku De Ta, no alcohol. Maybe $80 for lunch for 2 (club sandwich & iced tea) in the lobby outlet. There are food court options in the mall. If you need any dry cleaning call your bank for a loan to fund it. This hotel is just expensive to live in, and there is a lot of money running around the place. Also, if you look closely you can see a good deal of less than perfect construction, like it was rushed.

In my opinion MBS is worth experiencing at least once, but I wouldn't say it's on my list to repeat. Not that I would mind, but I'm perfectly happy at the Pan Pac (where I can then look at MBS). Oh, except for one small issue - I never went swiming in that amazing pool.
