As of July 2023, the Elite happy hour benefit is a single drink voucher from a limited menu (Margarita, Tequila Sunrise, and one other drink I can't remember).

Anyone here stayed in the Away Suite? I have it booked for a couple nights in Dec and didn't realize there's only one of it, so I guess I can give up any hope of a BRG on it either since it's impossible to book and then send a comparison rate. I was deciding between it and the Fantastic suite which sells for substantially more, but for a stay focused more on relaxing and having some privacy the Away Suite actually seems better? The pool also looks substantially larger in the photos than the pools in the other suites.

Anyone stayed here recently?
I have a booking but have just been informed of the daily limit of 2 hours of pool time so that has got me reconsidering. IMO, it isn't much of a staycation if I'm so severely limited and will have to be cooped up in my room for the majority of my stay.
Has anyone had recent experience of how restricted the facilities are right now and whether it's worth splashing out on a stay.

We were there at the end of August, and had a fabulous time. Yes, pool time is time slotted, as well as breakfast, but we were allowed to extend our pool time into the next slot, or book another slot if there were spaces. And, even though the hotel was apparently at (limited) capacity, there was always space at the pool. I guess people didn't find it so limiting. Also, there's Sentosa Cove, and you can walk around, visit some of the bars and restaurants nearby... it's not like it's only room or pool. Or, you can really splash out on a stay, and get one of the suites with private pool

Thanks, I will be flying solo, so bars, restaurants etc aren't super appealing. The rooms with pools are appealing but out of my price range unfortunately. Best I can hope for is a Marvelous suite using SNAs.
I think I will probably cancel the reservation. Having to plan out when I do everything defeats the object of taking the break for me.

Unfortunately, that's what every staycation will be like until we're out of Phase 3. Looking at some other hotels, W is even generous with the duration of their pool slot. FWIW, I'm planning a series of staycations to take advantage of Q1 promo, and can report of experiences in Marriot Tang, Sheraton and Westin. Already been to JW, and, yes, everything is time-slotted, but lounge is open, and service is excellent.

I live on Orchard so Sentosa is about as close to a break away from the city as I can get. I was looking at other properties but they are mostly so close to me it won't feel like a get away. My condo looks out onto Tang so that's definitely ruled out!
Anyway, thanks for the info, super helpful for my decision making.
