We arrived at Siloso Beach Resort early on Friday morning after an all-night road trip from Malaysia. Tired and eager to freshen up before our day at Universal Studios Singapore, we were warmly greeted by Susan at reception. She was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, making sure we were comfortable from the moment we stepped in. Her kindness set the tone for our short but memorable vacation in Singapore. Seriously, give Susan a raise! As an eco-resort, Siloso Beach Resort isn't your typical shiny, modern hotel – and that's the beauty of it. Built on a hillside within the lush jungle, the resort blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings. The owners made it a point to preserve the environment, so don't expect the bright, plastic-y surfaces you might find elsewhere. Our deluxe room was comfortable, clean, and spacious enough for the three of us, but the true gem of the resort is the stunning natural stream water pool on Level 5. Shaped organically and featuring a five-storey waterfall, it's unlike any pool I've ever seen. What stood out even more was the resort’s commitment to inclusivity. I noticed several special needs individuals working at the hotel, and the way the F&B supervisor interacted with them at breakfast was heartwarming. Curious, I asked if this was part of their hiring policy. I was thrilled to learn that the founders are deeply involved in providing opportunities for youth with special needs – what an amazing initiative! The next morning, I had the chance to speak with a gentleman I assumed was the manager, only to find out he was none other than Kelvin Ng, the CEO of the resort. He shared the fascinating history of the place, explaining how they made a conscious effort to preserve the natural environment during construction – not a single tree was cut down! The pool’s unique shape? It followed the path of an existing bike trail, again to avoid cutting any trees. Kelvin's passion for both the environment and supporting special needs children shone through in our conversation. He even gave my son an encouraging pep talk, which meant the world to us. Oh, and those amazing pastries we devoured at breakfast? Turns out, Kelvin was a pastry chef in a past life – no wonder they were so delicious! My wife was nearly brought to tears by the resort's heartfelt dedication to their cause, and it's this mix of genuine care, eco-consciousness, and hospitality that makes Siloso Beach Resort so special. I wholeheartedly recommend Siloso Beach Resort if you’re planning a stay in Singapore. Here’s why: 1. A beautiful, thoughtfully designed hotel with a meaningful story. 2. Excellent location with free shuttles to several stops, including the monorail that connects you to the island and VivoCity. 3. Siloso Beach is just a few steps away. 4. An incredible natural pool, sourced from an underground stream. 5. Many attractions are a short walk away. 6. The best croissants you’ll have in Asia (complimentary if you book a room with breakfast). 7. Perfect sunny-side-up eggs, cooked by a lovely young man with special needs. I8. t’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience! If you're contemplating a stay, just book it! You won’t regret it.
