5.6/10

My experience at the hotel was mixed. While the price was reasonable and I enjoyed the spaciousness of the suites, there were several frustrations that impacted my stay. Unfortunately, the service felt lacking at times, and the amenities did not live up to the expectations set by the advertisements. I wouldn't say it's the best option out there, but it had its good moments.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms were small, and while they did accommodate six with two pullout couches, one was unusable due to the cramped space with the kitchen. The private balcony was a nice touch, though.

Service

The service was a bit disheartening. While some staff seemed to try, others appeared to be quite indifferent to guests' needs, which made the experience less enjoyable.

The resort offers a spacious and pleasant environment, with the heating pool and hot tub being standout features for relaxation.

Our stay at the Marina Bay Resort was fantastic, primarily because of the spacious and well-appointed rooms that were perfect for our family.

Marina Bay Resort offers a spacious atmosphere perfect for families, with well-appointed Admiral suites that accommodate multiple guests comfortably. The heated pool and hot tub provide a relaxing escape, especially on cooler evenings. However, some facilities are showing their age, and the dining options could use improvement, requiring a drive for breakfast. Overall, it's a solid choice despite a few shortcomings.

5.4/10

The motel has a decent location across from the beach, but unfortunately, the rooms were quite dirty and dated, which was disappointing. The pool area and outdoor amenities were charming but showing signs of aging. It was crowded with visitors from around the area, which made the experience a bit uncomfortable at times.
