I visited Singapore for the first time in October 2019 and stayed at the JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach for the first night. Although the check-in and check-out service experience was not good, I went to the swimming pool on the 10th floor to enjoy the beautiful high-altitude night view of Singapore at night. It is one of the impressive scenes of the trip, and it also leaves a beautiful first impression for the first trip to Singapore. (🔎Reservation price and guest evaluation:agoda|booking.com)

This time I stayed in the Premier Marina Bay Room, facing the war memorial park and the Marina Bay view. The room design and furnishings kept the stability of the business rooms, adding a few lively colors and patterns, and the overall feeling was a lot more lively, and a large number of floor-to-ceiling mirrors were also used. To increase the sense of space, we plan to separate the dry and wet bathroom space and the separate bathtub. In the evening, we will provide bed opening service and two small chocolates.
The entire hotel has more than 600 guest rooms. The hardware facilities and service standards are not easy to maintain. This time, the two-layer remote-controlled electric curtains in the guest rooms failed. Fortunately, only the inner tulle layer failed, and the outer thick shade curtains worked normally. When I went to the toilet, I found that the toilet had no power supply. I thought it was too bad luck. Later I realized that I had to turn on the power. It turns out that in Singapore, a multi-ethnic immigrant society, many people don't like the automatic water spray function of the toilet, so the power is preset. It is closed, which is also a characteristic of Singapore.
Breakfast and public facilities at JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach🍽️
The JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach has more than 600 rooms. The reception hall and space on the first floor are quite narrow due to the crowded restaurants and shopping malls on the first floor. Usually star-rated hotels will set the reception hall above the second floor when encountering such conditions. , But Marriott retains the entrance on the first floor. The number of rooms and the reception space present a disproportionate gap. The guests feel crowded and restrained when they check in, and the work load of the counter staff is not light.
During our trip, we encountered inadequate counter training and ugly faces. The unpleasant reception and check-out experience on the front line of the hotel’s front line really reduced the confidence in the brand. Perhaps booking a guest room on the executive floor, there will be comparisons. Good treatment.Although the standard of the front-line service counter is not good, the hardware of the Marriott Hotel is still at a standard, especially the swimming pool with magnificent landscape, which is the most impressive thing about this stay.
Singapore Marriott South Beach has two swimming pools on the 6th floor and the 18th floor. The 6th floor pool is narrow and wide, suitable for sunbathing and family parent-child playing. The poolside is equipped with a large bar and seating area, suitable for daytime activities and night gatherings; 18th floor swimming pool Small in scale, but with a beautiful view facing Marina Bay, it is suitable to come here to enjoy the night view at night. There is a small bar, gymnasium and social game space by the pool. We went to the 18th floor swimming pool to enjoy the beautiful night view of Singapore on the night of our stay.
As for Marriott’s famous breakfast lineup, the dining location is located in the Beach Road Kitchen on the executive floor. We faced a poorly performing service counter. Considering the many food choices on the first floor of the hotel and the surrounding area, we directly gave up ordering breakfast on the spot. Go to Praise Plaza and enjoy brunch.

✅Comprehensive evaluation: The flagship brand for enjoying the magnificent night view from the sky
JW Marriott Hotel South Beach is the flagship brand location of Marriott Hotel in Singapore. The level of hardware facilities is nothing to say. The reception hall is limited by the mall building and the space is limited. What is disappointing is the service quality of the reception counter. There is no experience in the executive lounge. In the case of breakfast, the most impressive place this time is the infinity swimming pool with a wide view. It is highly recommended to take the time to walk to the 18th floor at night.
