I've not been to sentosa since they opened resorts world and implemented parking charges at tanjung beach. Previously i'd bring my dogs there for swims/hydrotherapy or just go by myself to swim in the lagoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

missmarigold 4th Gear October 18, 2013 Share October 18, 2013 errrr, i dont go to sentosa nowadays, especially PH! too many tourists!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiawy 1st Gear October 18, 2013 Share October 18, 2013 I go there quite often, and no I'm not working in Sentosa. Just apply for the Sentosa Islander pass which cost $25/year with unlimited free entry (I got it at $20/year during a promotion last year). Parking charge there is comparable to HDB carpark. In fact my wife and I have this bi-weekly outing to Sentosa late at night. We bought food at hawker centre, then drive to Sentosa to have night picnic by the beach Sometimes after my work, I will drive to Sentosa to take a dip in the lagoon before the beach close at 7pm. Beach & Imbiah Car ParkParking Rates: 7AM - 5PM 5.01PM - 6.59AM Weekday $3 (1st 4hrs) $1/hr thereafter 12PM - 2PM (FREE*) $1 per entry Weekend & Public Holiday $5 (1st 4hrs) $2/hr thereafter $2 per entry *Applies only for vehicles that enters and exit within this period on the same day Tanjong & Palawan Car Park Parking Rates: 7AM - 5PM 5.01PM - 6.59AM Weekday $3 (1st 8hrs) $1/hr thereafter 12PM - 2PM (FREE*) $1 per entry Weekend & Public Holiday $3 (1st 8hrs) $1/hr thereafter $1 per entry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
