Thanks for your excellent report! It reminds me it's been several years since I was last in Singapore, so it's time to plan a stop there - perhaps next year.

While I love spas, I have to say I'm not so sure about the fish spa...

Thank you LTC!

Just when I thought I had the whole trip under control....... I think I might make time for Phi Phi! Room 116 or 108 should be the ones we should request, or are there others just as good?

We are using points to stay for free, but I suspect we could upgrade with cash. Would you suggest doing that as opposed to just staying in a garden bungalow?

And last but not least, so that I do not sound like an idiot, how do you say Phi Phi?

cheesehead, it's pronounced 'pee-pee'. A lot of Southeast Asian countries pronounce their 'ph' sound as a hard 'p'.

Hi Happy, first of all I now have most of the photos from this year uploaded and if you wish you can see them here. A few more to come and all of the underwater ones should be uploaded in the next few days. Here's the link

To be honest pretty much all the bungalows are fine. Anything beginning with 1 is beachfront. 101 being nearest to the main hub of the resort, the higher the number, the futher away from there. The gardens are really very, very nice and a pleasure to walk round. But if you can stretch to it, I think it is worth the extra for beachfront.

Using points, breakfast is not included unless you are a Platinum Priority Member.....I think.

And pronunciation is Pee Pee!!!!

LTC...thanks for the Singapore tips. Hopefully I can get Bob on the flyer and the cable car.

I am fascinated by the fish spa. Did you do it? Bob is worried about disease. After walking in sandles for a few weeks it might be a unique way to get a pedicure. Do you remember the price?

No we didnt do it. Lynda was very keen but we were running short of time.
S$28 for half an hour.

Will post a link giving more info later.

Sorry, was using laptop for last post.....can't get on with it.
