My
family’s
trip
to
Singapore
was
part
of
a
larger
trip
to
Asia
that
was
in
the
planning
for
a
year
that
we
were
looking
forward
to
since
it
would
be
our
first
big
trip
since
the
pandemic.
We
choose
Singapore
because
there
was
a
lots
of
kids
friendly
activities
to
do
and
great
food
to
try
out.
We
chose
the
Mandarin
Oriental
Singapore
because
we
heard
a
lot
of
good
things
about
it
since
the
renovations
were
done
and
I
have
to
say
we
were
not
disappointed
and
our
expectations
were
exceeded
beyond
our
imagination.
To
start,
we
had
booked
a
family
room.
Prior
to
arrival
we
had
notified
the
hotel
we
had
an
early
arrival
since
we
were
taking
the
non
stop
flight
from
JFK
which
landed
at
5
am
local
time.
Upon
our
check
in
at
7
am,
they
had
no
issues
accommodating
our
early
check
in.
Later
that
day
chocolates
were
delivered
to
our
room
as
a
welcome
amenity
which
was
a
nice
gesture.
After
exploring
the
city
for
a
bit,
we
arrived
back
at
our
hotel
to
get
some
rest.
Unfortunately,
there
was
some
sort
of
renovation
next
to
our
room
where
we
can
hear
large
hammering
and
drilling
sounds.
After
notifying
the
front
desk,
the
duty
manager,
Jessica
attended
to
our
concerns
and
promptly
upgraded
our
room
to
a
residential
suite
where
there
wasn’t
any
noise.
She
expressed
her
sorry
and
the
inconvenience
that
it
caused
us.
To
me,
the
hallmark
of
a
great
hotel
is
not
only
how
friendly
the
services
are
but
also
what
will
they
do
when
issues
are
encountered.
In
this
case,
they
passed
with
flying
colours.
Throughout
the
rest
of
our
stay,
the
staff
continued
to
provide
great
service
from
the
staff
at
EMBU
to
the
housekeeping
staff
always
inquiring
if
we
had
anything
we
needed
to
the
porters
answering
our
questions
about
travelling
in
Singapore.
At
the
end
of
our
5
days
trip,
my
daughters
asked
me
when
the
next
time
we
can
come
to
Singapore
as
they
truly
enjoyed
their
time.
I
do
not
know
when
that
time
will
be
but
hopefully
it
can
be
in
the
near
future.
Thank
you
Mandarin
Oriental
Singapore
for
making
my
family’s
stay
a
wonderful
experience
and
I
look
forward
to
my
next
stay
with
you.
