Ah my bad. 5mins would indeed be considered close for lost people, but it's not an easy walk for us with two toddlers in tow under the often scorching weather. Even with strollers it's an annoying trek I rather not have to deal with.
Compare that Tang Marriott or JW South Beach with a connected underground MRT right at the doorstep of the exit.

It is probably more young-kid-friendly too with its shallow end. Neither pool was very busy during my stay last September.
I wasn't aware of the 6th floor pool until you guys pointed it out, the staff probably told my wife about it at check in but I missed it while parking the car. I will be sure to check it out if we somehow return here again instead of the W.
The complimentary hotel breakfast buffet is one the highlights of any stay; too bad if it is no longer an option for PE+...
