Hi there
I need some recommendations, please.
We are moving to Singapore in a few weeks and we will arrive in Singapore the day after our container arrives on the docks and a couple of days before it is due to be delivered to the new house.
I am hoping to stay a couple of days at a nice hotel with a pool and water slide to unwind before the unpack starts.
Any suggestions are welcome. We have 3 boys: 9, 8 and 3 years old.
Thank you.

The Swissotel Merchant Court has a small slide, but overall it's a fun pool and the hotel is in a great location.
You might also want to give the Hard Rock Hotel a look, it has quite a few pools though no slides, and is a very family-oriented hotel. Plus you could take the kids to Univeral Studios and some of the other attractions on Sentosa.

Not sure about that, it's not much of a party place for adults.

Unless you mean the Swissotel Merchant Court by Clarqe Quay which is good for everyone.
The Hard Rock is more like a kids' hotel, nothing there for adults except a small lobby bar.

Thanks for the tips. I thought there would be more hotels with water slides in the tropics.

Not in Singapore where space and water is a precious commodity.
