Public bookings for Resorts World Sentosa hotels opened on Monday and more than 3,300 enquiries poured in.
Some 300 reservations were made on the first day of bookings as people took advantage of discounted opening rates.
The hotels are set to open to the public on January 20.
To help ensure smooth visitor arrivals at the integrated resort, taxi drivers were given a drive-through tour of the three main drop-off spots.
“This is a new place for us… so the orientation benefitted us,” said a taxi driver. “Passengers want to come to this hotel. Like Hard Rock Hotel and Festive Hotel. So (now) we know where it is.”
There are three taxi drop-off points at the integrated resort, which are near to attractions such as the Universal Studios Singapore theme park and the casino.
Apart from cars and taxis, visitors can also hop onboard buses and trains to reach the integrated resort.
Robin Goh, spokesperson for Resorts World Sentosa, said: “The most cost-effective and convenient (way to travel) would be public transport so visitors can choose either taking a bus – the Sentosa bus – to Sentosa… or they could actually hop on the Sentosa Express and get off at the first station called the Waterfront Station.”
The station will open on January 20, providing the integrated resort with an integrated transport solution.
