I have had a different experience. As a long time and frequent Ritz guest in Singapore ( albeit mostly for business), I tried the Fullerton Bay about 18 months ago. I loved the room and thought the service pretty good, but as I had a room on the bay I heard loud music ricocheting across the water til the wee hours of the night. Not great when you have to work the next day! So I liked the hotel but would not return due to the noise problem. Maybe I'm lucky but I never experienced that at the Ritz in multiple stays. But then I always am on a very high floor corner room, but also facing the bay! I really do wish there were some better options in Singapore. Years ago I stayed in the valley wing at the Shangri-la which was nice in those days. I haven't stayed in years as the location not as convenient for my purposes. I'll be back at the Ritz again in the fall unless I find a better option! I guess I'm lucky I haven't had the noise at the Ritz!
