Re: Singapore (Thread 26)

^hi sis! MBS is not strict in terms of occupants per room. in our case, we are 4 in a twin bedroom room. back then, was able to book our room using corporate account, so the 22k rate went down to 14k. also, a friend's friend is an MBS employee so we were allowed to check-in early and check-out super late on the following day plus other privileges which is only for suite rooms and above only.

in my friends case din, 5 naman sila sa room.

yap, there is no pass for sale to avail the infinity pool. pwede ka lang mag-swim if may naka-check-in ka.

HTH 😊😊

^really? Sent an email yesterday and the agent replied with the number of rooms and other recommendations. So if we're 10, I can get 2 rooms na lang. Breakfast not included tama ba? Na excite ako. Super thank you sis omneecka!

By the way, no limitations naman ba per room yung no of persons that can use the pool? Thanks ulit!

[omneecka]

^yes sis, pwedeng 2 rooms lang kayo. ensure nyo lang na twin bedroom kayo i-assign. try to email MBS din and ask if they offer corporate discount to u and your companion's company. ganyan kasi ginawa ko. i emailed MBS using my company email add. it happens na our company has a branch in SG kaya din siguro may corporate discount sila na na-provide.

with your question sis, not sure sis kasi samin though 4 kami is ako lang nag-swimming. as in ako lang din sa pool that time. kebs na lang. around 9am kasi biglang umulan ng sobrang lakas pati hangin ang lakas. kaya solo ko pool. hehe! na-try ko rin sauna ng MBS. OA naman sa init. di ko akalain na ganun kainit pool dun. na-culture shock din ako kasi may kasabay akong other nationality. 2 lang kami. eh biglang naghubad sa harap ko. hahaha! kala ko nung una kung ano lang ginagawa. hahaha! dedma lang. hehe! parang wala naman akong napansin na note if ilang pax lang per room ang allowed sa pool. tsaka di naman mahigpit kasi nung next balik ko sa pool nung tumila na ulan, madami na naliligo sa pool and sa mga kasabay ko na in group, wala naman nag-check samin if what room kami or ilan kami. basta dire-direcho lang ako. hehe!

😊😊

[brandi]

^thanks sis! Last na, did all of you checked in or not para di obvious na madami kayo and breakfast included ba? Thank you! 😊

[omneecka]

^no breakfast included sis yung room namin. btw, since you'll get 2 rooms, better to get with different views. we chose higher floor (41st floor) with ocean view, bale view is ocean plus yunv banyan trees yata yun na may light show from 7pm yata. nung nasa labas kasi ako ng elev, another possible view is city view na merlion view and lotus flower something na structure.

ako lang nag-check-in sis. may lakad kasi mga kasama ko. then mga 7pm dumating na sila. sabay-sabay ko sila sinundo sa baba. dont worry sis, pwede naman kayong sabay-sabay kasi andaming tao lagi sa MBS. di na kayo mapapansin. then di naman ako hinatid sa room. 1st time ko rin maka-encounter ng elev na need mag-tap muna ng room key before ka makapag-press ng floor mo. sakto kasi madami akong kasabay sa 41st floor kaya di na ko nag-tap. ay not tap pala that time, as in ipapasok mo half ng keycard mo. hehe!

HTH 😊😊

[brandi]

^thanks you so much sis and happy new year!

[omneecka]

^you're welcome, sis! happy new year, too and to all our sisses here! 😊😊

Hi sissies! Happy New year to us!

I need help regarding itinerary... I will be in SG from March 1-8 (morning flight kami balik ng manila around 8am ata) and were planning to do DIY lang I literally have no idea pano gagawin. Gusto sana namin mag cross over (Tri-city) to Indo and Malaysia. Can anyone help me please? And idea na din how much ang transpo from SG to Indonesia and MY and vice versa. 

[imeego]

Back to our original plan of going to singapore this april..family of 2 adults and 2 kids (6 and 3 y/o); 8D7N..1st 3 nights sa sentosa kami mag-stay

Here's our iti:

April 9:
departure: 820 am

Questions:
- i know walking distance lang mbs to merlion but kaya ba ng 3yo to? If not, pwede ba magtaxi going there? Di ba magagalit ang taxi driver kasi short distance lang?
- i've set a budget of 2500sgd for food for 3 pax, bale 6 full days lang..enough na ba? As much as we wanted to try food at hawker stalls, di pwede kasi may kids..so, most likely sa mid range restaurants or mall/hotel based resto and food courts..
- madali lang ba kumuha ng taxi? Esp from zoo/bird park and back? Wala kasi ako idea sa grab or uber churva 😁

Salamat sa sasagot 😊

[hunny_ally]

^we took grab and Uber when we were in SG. Not hard to book

[imeego]

If not thru grab or uber kaya sis, i mean yung regular taxi lang madali kaya makasakay? Never ko pa kasi natry ang grab or uber kahit dito sa pinas, as in no idea how it works😁

[hunny_ally]

Sa zoo and sa bird park may queue for the cab.

[imeego]

^thanks sis

[Cheesecak3]

^Yes madali lang makakuha ng taxi.

[itsKat!]

Is it safe to buy tickets of USS from Klook or Viator? Thanks!

[icegayle]

^Yes its safe we bought our USS tickets via Klook.

[sophistique]

@imeego Madali lang sis, take note lang na iba-iba rin yung rates ng taxi. The silver ones (please correct me if I'm wrong), for example, mas pricey flag down. Plus may mga surcharges din sila sa SG for peak hours. You can check gothere.sg to have a fare estimate. 

[imeego]

^thanks sa info sis 😃

@ cheesecak3
Thanks sis

[itsKat!]

^thank you icegayle!

It's better to buy ahead of time no? kesa pumila sa sa USS?

Thank you!

May uber and grab sa SG diba? do we need a new application or yung application natin dito sa Philippines same lang?

[sophistique]

^ I'm not sure about Grab but Uber, same lang sis.

And yes, better to pre-purchase your tickets. I like Klook kasi after the booking, you can review the place and automatically get credits which you can use on your next booking.
