Expert reviews
“The romanticism of the British colonial era lives on at the six-star Capella Singapore resort designed by Lord Norman Foster. Sprawling 30 acres, the 112-room property lives up to its luxe reputation with extras like a personal butler per guest, a three-tiered swimming pool overlooking the South China Sea.”
“Colonial history gets a modern, sleek rewrite at Capella Singapore. The hotel located on the Singaporean satellite island of Sentosa combines exquisite old-colonial style with contemporary luxuries in stunning fashion. The gateways to this luxury hotel are its restored, white-washed bungalows, which have histories dating back to the late 1800s when the buildings were used as barracks and common areas for members of the British military and their families.”
“The 112-room Capella Singapore, which opened in 2009, is the preferred staycation address for the city’s deep-pocketed crowd. Sprawled across 30 acres of cascading hillside facing the South China Sea, the bucolic confines of the hotel offer a respite from the city’s hectic pace.”

This will not be my 2nd stay, more staycays to come!
Lush greenery, nature, layout of room was superb! Staff were 10/10. The various surprises for my mom’s 60th birthday really made her stay!

The best staycation ever had even there are room for improvements to worth their brand name.
Very peaceful.
1. Basin tap hot water takes time to heat up. 2. Lighting switches are very sophisticated. 3. Gym is slightly small. 4. Spa services are fully booked during our stay and wife has no chance to experience it.

Truly special
Awesome villa; very appreciative of staff’s thoughts in room deco and complementary efforts to make my 20 yrs anniversary a truly memorable one. My dining experience at Cassia was also made special with Jess’s attention to details and recommendations

The boy who sent us to villa treats us quite nice, he’s very polite and gave us on demanding help.

Great staycation except for…
Away from hustle and bustle of busy singapore. Comfortable and spacious, very private. Love the pool and outdoor tub. Chrome cast available with the tvs. Lovely surprise with their complimentary macarons, snack plate, red wine and diffuser for our honeymoon stay. Our pet dog was very happy too! The pet bed even came with a name tag! Pillow menu was nice. Digital concierge was very convenient too.
One of the big towels was stained. Left a note about it for the turndown staff. Towel was changed but no acknowledgement of the dirty towel. Didn’t have the chance to bring up this later. Otherwise the stay had been great.

Simply the very best hotel stay in Singapore
Consistent attention to detail and a dedication from every member of staff to make the experience luxurious. From a beautiful room with extra treats in it, to the afternoon tea included in the price, it was a truly indulgent stay.
There was nothing I could fault in our stay at the Capella

Glad I booked my stayca with Capella. Everyone enjoyed the stay thoroughly.
Breakfast choices was wide enough that we ate different items over the two mornings. Food quality was good.

Perfect getaway for couples
The rooms are spectacular and the location is amazing. It feels like you're not even in Singapore at points to be honest. The staff address you by name every time and make you feel welcome all the time. Don't miss the Ala Carte buffet breakfast. The bread basket itself is amazing - plus you get all the local favorites like Laksa, Roti Prata and soft boiled eggs alongside things like avocado toast, chicken and waffles, etc.
Not the hotel's fault at all, but it rained non-stop :(

Capella stay
What I love about the property was that everything was so professional and the grounds were so clean ! All the staff were very accommodating and friendly :) I would definitely come back to stay again !

Good overall
Friendly staff
Very expensive Access to the beach is not a straight forward process. In the pictures it’s appeared the room is sea view but in reality the sea is very far and you cannot see it.

Facilities were amazing but poor quality of service made our experience terrible.
Facilities are very good including spacious room and swimming pool. Cassia restaurant was great in terms of food and quality of the services.
Internal communication between hotel staffs was terribly bad. None of our request before and during our stay were properly taken care of and I had to explain everything from the scratch whenever I tried to follow up on our requests. I really straggle to understand such a huge gap between poor quality of services and great quality of the facilities.

Exceptional
Ocean View room was stunning. The pools are split for Adults vs Families and the staff were quick to enforce this. All of the amenities throughout the Capella were top-notch. They did all of the 'little things' really well.
