[teri_28]

Thanks sis cheezecake tama ka parang kulang ang 3d2n sa sg , di ba mahigpit sa hotels like kunwari kuha kami room for 4-5  pero 7 kami  , kasma namin kasi 3 bata pwede naman magshare sa bed or depende sa hotel?

[cheezecake]

hindi naman basta discreet lang

[teri_28]

So payagan kami basta kasya sa bed ? Mas mahal ba ticket pag summer like April or may ? Sa jetstar pa lang kasi nakita ko mas mababa rt tickets , mahal pa sa cebu pacific sa jetstar nsa 6k ok na kaya yung price na yun April kasi like namin

[ksv]

I was able to book Cebu Pacific for the 5 of us (1 infant)  for 32k this Feb for CNY. So excited! :-)

^check Tiger din kasi when I was scanning, mura sila. Or you can use Skyscanner.

Yes sis, ok lang yun. Mas safe pa nga kasi baka mabasag sila if check-in baggage mo.

[cindylulu]

@teri_28, yes ok lang to hand-carry. if you buy the phones in sg, i suggest you buy the phones from a store that has a gst refund counter. then pa refund mo lang sa pre-departure sa changi.

...group of 6 kami, kasama 4 kids , isang 12, 9 and 4 y/o yung di masyado mahal...

Hi sis. I want to help you, but please qualify what "di masyadong mahal" means.. hehe. That's subjective kasi. Also, how old yung isang kid? You mentioned 4 kids but only mentioned 12, 9 and 4.

Assuming that the fourth kid is an infant, i recommend getting the inter-connecting rooms at Ibis Hotel on Bencoolen. One room is the "Standard Room w/ Queen Bed" while the other room is a "Standard Twin Bed" which has two twin beds.

You and your hubby can stay with the 4yo and infant in the Queen room because the bed is actually HUGE! The 12yo and 9yo can stay in the other room where they each have their own beds.

Each room costs approx 7K so the total is 14K. That's reasonable considering how many you are. sobrang uncomfortable if ipagpilitan nyo sa isang room, kawawa kayo lahat.

[teri_28]

Thanks sis meimei , hehe oo kawawa naman talaga kami if magsiksikan, naisip din namin yan kuha na lang 2 room kaso makukulit yung 9 yr old twins ko hehe kaya di pwde sila lang sa room so siguro ako na lang kasama nila while si hubby sa other room with my youngest at eldest ... What I mean is yung ok naman ang price at malapit sa uss at iba pang tourist spots na di nakakapagod lakarin lalo sa mga anak ko na maarte sa lakarang mahaba hehe...

[meimei]

^aaaahhh twins yung 9yo!! CUTE!! hehe.

Hmmmm.. wala masyado lakaran? Nakupo, marami talaga lakaran sa SG.. pero dahil marami kayo and puro kids ang kasama, sa totoo lang, advisable na taxi kesa MRT. Besides, if we sum up the costs ng MRT fare individually vs taxi (even if 2 taxis kung di payagan sa isa), di na rin ganun kalayo ang cost nun compared to the added convenience baka mag-tantrums lang ang kids mo sa MRT, mas mahihirapan ka. So kung taxi, wag mo na problemahin ang lakaran.

Sis, mahal kasi resorts sa Sentosa (USS area).. pero teka, may na-research ako dati na family room sa Sentosa. But i dont have my notes with me now, sabihan kita pag nakita ko notes ko.

[teri_28]

Hehe yey! thanks sis !oo grabe pag kasama ko yung kambal gulo haha , may nasearch din ako connecting rooms isa lang door nila mas ok sa akin yun para mas madali para sa akin to check up the kids baka kung ano gawin na dun sa loob ng room pag wala ako hehe, sis yung sa ibis na sinasabi mo interconnecting magkatabi lang yung rooms pero hiwalay ng door?

[meimei]

^sis, yung sa Ibis, meron talagang connecting door. each room has its own door palabas, BUT also has a connecting door inside. if that's what you want to book, it's best to book directly with Ibis - that's what i did. kasi onti lang usually difference with Agoda. tapos i specified with Ibis thru email na yung inter-connecting rooms ang kailangan ko. to be safe, pwede naman na inquire ka muna thru email if there are interconnecting rooms available for the dates you need before you actually book with them.

EDIT:

sis! i found my notes! Deluxe Family King Room at Festive Hotel at Resorts World Sentosa!! i'm soooo excited for you, hahaha! kasi halos ka-presyo lang ng Ibis. tapos literally isang room lang kayo so you have more peace of mind. check out the links below:

http://www.rwsentosa.com/language/en-US/Homepage/HotelsAndSpa/FestiveHotel/DeluxeFamilyKing

http://www.rwsentosa.com/language/en-US/Homepage/HotelsAndSpa/FestiveHotel/tab/Gallery

here's the bed configuration of the room: One king-sized bed, one loft bed, one sofa bed (folds out to a double bed, subject to availability upon arrival)

your 4yo can sleep with you and your hubby in the king bed. one twin can sleep in the loft bed while the other twin can sleep in the sofa bed (sana available at that time, sabi kasi sa website subject to availability) - now the problem is your 12yo... baka you can inquire na lang muna with Festive Hotel thru email or call... baka pwedeng mag-request ng extra bed... pero i'm thinking, kasya sa King bed si 12yo. but it may be better to ask Festive na rin if an extra bed is allowable, even at extra cost.

[teri_28]

Thanks sis sa info, mukhang magandan dyan sa festive hotel plus malapit pa sa uss check ko sya, like ko rin yung sa ibis mas mura lang kesa sa festive hotel , sis ask ko lang nagsale pa ba ulit ang cebu pac next year , nag-aabang pa kasi ako nang promos baka makamura , sa ngayon sa jetstar pa  lang ako nakakita ng mura ticket , ok na ba ang 8k rt to sg ?

[ksv]

Check YMCA One Orchard too. Highly recommended  here based on my back reading. Hahaha! :-) They have a family room and junior suite then you can request for extra beds.

[teri_28]

Sis bakit pag check ko sa booking di daw allowed ang children ? Or better yet check ko na lang sa website nila or inquire sa email , nasearch ko sa robertson quay may connecting rooms , any feedbacks dito mga sis and bus ba sinasakyan papunta uss? Yun kasi una namin puntahan then after nyan wala pa idea kung saan sunod, magkano ba taxi at ang ticket sa mrt? Thanks ulit

[ksv]

For those who went to Singapore with kids, did you bring raincoats for them or okay na umbrella? Pang February weather sana. I don't want to be caught unprepared kasi since I read na usually it rains sa afternoon. Thanks!
