Marina Bay - Tre Mare Residence

We stayed there in early September and really liked the spot. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. The beach and lots of places to eat are nearby. I recommend it.

The location is fantastic, and there’s a small grocery store on the ground floor. Our apartment was new and furnished with great taste, though it was missing some basics such as kitchen towels and bowls. A hairdryer would have been handy too, and there were no beach towels. For such a lovely complex, I’d have expected blinds or air conditioning. It got unbearably hot at times, even though our stay was in mid-May. There are a few drawbacks, but it’s a very nice complex.

I’d give it five stars in absentia since half stars aren’t an option :D A couple of things were missing, the dryer didn’t work, and there were a few spiders in the wardrobe :D Otherwise, the apartment is really top-notch and in a great location.

The beach is only a few minutes away if you cut through the Novotel parking lot, using entrance 77. We spent a week in unit no. 11 with four adults and two preschoolers, and the owner had made sure we had what we needed for a restful stay. Since we came by train and had limited luggage, the washing machine and big terrace for drying clothes were especially handy. The kitchen had enough equipment to make simple meals. The place gets lovely light from the west and south facing windows looking over the allotment gardens, and there are blinds and air conditioning. Beds were comfortable, with plenty of wardrobe space. I’d happily recommend it.
