Staying in Sentosa – Tips & Advice

• Where to stay when visiting Singapore – guidance provided
• Public buses and trains on the island are free of charge. However, there is an entry fee for accessing the island from mainland Singapore. The fee is $4 if entering via monorail or $5-7 per vehicle or taxi depending on the date and time. If entering via cable car (the most entertaining way!), the entry fee is included in the ticket price. Hotel guests staying in Sentosa do not have to pay the entry cost. Simply presenting the hotel booking confirmation allows first entry, after which the hotel will provide a pass covering all entries for the duration of the stay.
• Sentosa Island is known as Singapore’s recreational zone. Despite the carefree nickname, Sentosa still upholds the same strict rules as the mainland. Steep fines are imposed for violations like chewing gum, crossing roads unsafely, and spitting.
• When exploring the mainland, utilize public transportation. It is the most cost-efficient, user-friendly, and punctual system globally.
