Here is one alternative....the Shangri-la resort, Rasa Sentosa, is directly on a private beach area on Singapore's Sentosa Island and they have a gorgeous, hugh swimming pool just adjacent to their beach area. This facility is just spectacular! Amenities include a pooside bar, snacks, and now (or soon-to-be completed) an upscale restaurant between the swimming pool and beach with ocean views, as I understand it. (This is a great place to spend your SIN weekend in my opinion if you like water. The hotel is reasonably priced, especially for a resort, the views of the pool area are tropical and especially great in the evening, the dinning is nice, the staff is friendly and helpful.
Give it a try...check the Shangri-la site for details and rates-- www.Shangri-la.com ---If you need more info, send me a Private Message.

Have fun in beautiful, friendly Singapore.
