Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree

Beautiful place, really peaceful and doesn’t look like Singapore at all. All the staff are so attentive, friendly and the service are good. The room is spacious and clean, and i love the kids bed with the nook underneath, my kid had fun time to do activities there. We also love the simple detail like complimentary snacks and drinks at lobby and also water and fruit at gym. They even arrange different activities for us to get occupied. Kids can go to kids club, adult can go for yoga or classes. Do check out their available activities at the room TV screen. We also recommend to explore the resort compound, they have extensive boardwalk and bridges, it helps to fulfill your daily 10K steps! A bit lack is the selection of F&B especially for dinner, thus we have to drive out resort to find options for food, nearest would be Bird Paradise/ Wildlife Asia F&B. However if you are looking for short getaway in Singapore, i definitely recommend this resort for family!

Mandai Wildlife Resort is especially recommended for travellers to Singapore. This is especially so if we’re travelling with young kids as kid’s amenities both within the resort and in the vicinity of the hotel can easily keep our young ones fully occupied for 3 days and 2 nights. Travellers from temperate countries would be especially enticed by the tropical flora and fauna in the area. Minimal view of high rise buildings in the horizon also gives it an equator countryside vibe. Furthermore, we can breathe in fresh air and take in nourishing greens right from the comfort of our rooms, enabling us to connect with nature even without leaving the room. The layout and quality of furniture in the room and toilet are also top notch, and much thought and accumulated experience running premium resorts have clearly been put into it. Considering the location of the accommodation, much work has obviously been done behind the scenes to keep bug counts low in rooms, and mosquito encounters are just occasional, just 2-3 bites a day. Hotel staff are generally welcoming. Many greet you on sight and we can sense the hospitality culture management expects hotel employees to uphold. The green sanctuary did much to make our stay a pleasant one, details which i would not list for 2 main reasons - to ensure guests like you can receive pleasant surprises which you yearn for, and for the host to exceed expectations and not be boxed in by entitled guests. Staff are welcoming in general, in particular Rachel, whose sincerity and welcoming, bubbly smile shines brightly as an x-factor. Rachel, if you see this, stay true to yourself and not let future setbacks take away this shining aspect of you! Overall, due to Singapore’s size, or lack there of, Mandai Wildlife Resort is the go to hotel for travellers. Reasonably priced shuttle buses carry travellers to and from the hotel and town, and the central business district is a mere 30 minutes taxi ride away. Given that comparable hotels in the centre easily cost a few hundred dollars more per night, the rejuvenation you feel staying comfortably away from the hustle and bustle of the city core, the experience of healing comfortably in the rainforest, and then reinvesting part of the huge savings in cabs or chauffeuring services, is a no brainer and well worth it.

Very green, stylish hotel near Zoo. Staying here with my child, she was very happy. Helpful staff, good breakfast and dinner, very nice room. Hope sometime to return😍

Overall good experience. Room is clean and staff is nice. Not much food choices but you can take a shuttle to birds park, where a bit more restaurants available. Hotel breakfast is also pretty decent.

One of the best and unique staycay thet i ever had in singapore. Love then tranquility here. Special thanks to the front desk arifin who attended to us, and going all the extra miles to make this birthday celebration stay a memorable one. The service here is definitely a 10/10 and I'm so glad I extended another night. Everyone made the stay here comfy and felt so welcome. Will definitely come back here again to try the other rooms category!

Pleasant experience here though just stayed for a night to celebrate birthday. We were given an upgrade from garden view to lakeview and it's really beautiful. The staffs were friendly and helpful. We arrived at 2.30pm and had to queue for awhile to do check in but it was fine as we were given drinks and face towel while waiting. Managed to get the key around 2.50pm which was considerably fast as we were expecting to wait longer given the reviews from previous guests. The only downside was that we could hear the next door couple making love at night and dawn. The noise emanated through the connecting door so the soundproofing can be improved for those rooms with one. But other than that, all is good.
