Final Thought
It’s not just about staying somewhere; it’s a family-friendly universe.
Look up, walk through a mall where every corner has a story, and leave with memories that last longer than the next school break.
Checking in
Welcome to the Ultra‑Smooth Check‑In
From the second you walk through that lobby, the whole process feels like a well‑tuned orchestra – quick, painless, and virtually hassle‑free.
One Simple Rule to Follow
- Have your vaccination status ready – just hand over your proof at the counter.
- Let the staff know about your guest’s status too – the hotel is a vax‑only zone.
No vaccine? No stay. The hotel’s polite (and slightly dramatic) way of saying “sorry, only the vaccinated are invited!”
Room and amenities
Our Toddler‑Friendly Stay at the Hotel
Suite Style & Decor
We check into a standard room – not exactly a crib‑friendly oasis, but it gave us a handful of laughs and a touch of magic. The walls were adorned with CoComelon balloons and paper cut‑outs, making the space feel like a playground. On arrival, a gift set of plush characters arrived, and a small pack of coloring sheets with pencils turned the room into an instant art studio. My toddler’s giggles were louder than the TV the moment the crayons hit the floor.
The View from the Top
- High‑floor location with a panoramic look at Marina Bay Sands.
- Below us, the hotel’s pool swam like a giant, shimmering eye.
- My little one seemed to prefer the splash of water over the coloring set – it’s hard to beat a real splash!
Dining & Night Out
After a quick dinner at Raffles City, we took the time to explore the mall’s bustling streets. The night‑time hustle kept the toddler entertained, and the array of shops meant there were never any worries about running out of milk or late‑night snacks. We looped through the stores, ducked into a sweet shop for a quick treat, and then strolled back to our room to snuggle our little explorer.
Key Takeaways
- Room: kid‑friendly décor, jotting‑together play kits, and a surprisingly high ceiling perspective.
- Meal + Mall: solid coffee, quick dinner, and an endless menu for those ‘high‑noon’ cravings.
- Overall vibe: a blend of humor and convenience that turned an ordinary stay into a memorable adventure.
Breakfast at Prego’s
Morning Mornings at Prego’s
Our breakfast at Prego’s was basically a classic comfort‑food vibe—think fluffy pancakes, sizzling eggs, and the unmistakable crunch of bacon. We chose the window seat, which, for a change, didn’t reveal the usual sunny skies but instead showcased a dramatic rain curtain—an unexpected backdrop for our “pool‑first” mission.
From Plan to Post‑Puddle
- The big idea: splash in the pool before lunch.
- Reality check: no swimming—rain had other plans.
- Plot twist: we turned the lost‑pool into a scenic stroll around the hotel.
Adventures with a Tiny Trekker
Our little explorer had a field of play right at the hotel’s entrance—sprawling on the lawn, sniffing new scents, and chasing imaginary raindrops. The pool was still there, but the weather made it less inviting. Mummy’s dream? A quick escape to the Willow Stream Spa next to the pool—though the thought of a toddler on a calm spa bed gave her second thoughts.
Bottom Line
We swapped the pool for a Walk‑and‑Wander, found some hidden hotel nooks, and made a rainy day not just tolerable, but pretty memorable. And hey, the pancakes saved the day!
Lunch at CoComelon at Clove
Cocomelon‑Themed Staycation: A Neat, Nest‑In‑The‑Sky‑Restaurant for Family Fun
Want to turn a regular lunch into a roll‑out‑of‑the‑couch, “Cocomelon” playground? The Cocomelon stay‑cation did just that—transforming a slice of the city into a block party for toddlers and the adults who still love to be accompanied by the little ones.
Bus‑laden Booths & A Roaring Color Palette
- Every booth re‑imagined as a bus: think vinyl seats and tiny e‑bus engines rolling on wheels (no actual traffic).
- The entire floor, walls, and ceiling lit up with 4‑channel show‑to‑shine characters—our favorite the Cocomelon family and all the yellow‑ish sparkle of the backgrounds.
Playland for the Tiny One
- Dedicated “play area” with foam blocks, tiny tables, and chairs to keep pups occupied while they wait for their meals.
- Fun pin‑up of the Cocomelon family—camera‑ready for your perfect “Like‑this outfit” selfie moments.
Menu for the Fans (and Their Mouth‑Hungry Relatives)
Food big enough to fill a toddler’s tummy and a parent’s cravings—here’s what they had to munch on:
- TomTom Favourite Burger—served with a side of crispy fries and a fresh salad straight from the hotel’s aquaponics farm
- Delicious drinks & desserts:
- CoCo‑Cado Smoothie—a mash‑up of banana, chocolate, and a splash of happiness.
- Billy the Bus‑Oreo Milkshake—an Oreo‑filled milkshake that left kids yelling, “I nearly scored a goal!
It might not be the healthiest option if you’re an alarm clock, but—with toddler in tow—the visual treat and energy‑boosting snacks were savored by all. The parents could finally shout a cheer, “The once‑again, we want more!”
Check out and review
Fast‑Track Checkout: A Breeze and a Breeze
Stepping out of the room was as easy as a Sunday stroll. We hit the fast‑track option, left our keys over the welcome desk, and were out in a flash—no fumbling with the keychain, no fender bender. It felt like we were already halfway to the next adventure.
Why the 2‑Year‑Old Might Not Grab the Tickle
Good news: the stay was solid and the fun factor was high‑octane. The only hiccup? Our little one turned up a shade behind in the CoComelon craze. While she loved being in a new, kid‑friendly world, the songs and characters were for a slightly older crew—think 3 + years. For them, the Clove transformation hits all the right notes.
Still, the toys from our smash‑and‑play session are making a grand comeback in our playroom—so the value ticked up fast.
- Spotlight offer: CoComelon Family Staycations run until May 15, 2022.
- Prices: Starts at $375++ per night for a Fairmont Room.
