Infinite Pool Views?

Marina Bay Sands

So I'm heading to Marina Bay Sands next month, super hyped. Heard the infinity pool is...insane. But seriously, how much of a pain is it to actually *get* a decent poolside spot? I'm picturing a t… more

It's pretty bonkers, yeah. The pool is insane. Expect a crowd, especially in the mornings and on weekends. Weekdays, after the initial rush around 10-11am, things calm down considerably. That's your best bet for a less-packed experience. Don't bother with sunrise – it's way too hectic then. For photos... honestly, just go with the flow. Trying too hard to look un-touristy often backfires. Embrace the moment! The view's the star, not your pose. Early morning light (but after the mad rush) will give you amazing shots. And hey, if you're there at a less crowded time, you might even score a whole lounger to yourself! Don't stress it too much, just enjoy it.

Depends entirely on which part of Sanny Park your guesthouse is in. Some areas are quieter than others. Near the hawker centre it'll definitely be busier, especially on weekends. Think lots of chatter, maybe some live music spilling out from nearby bars, the general hum of a busy night market. It won't be deafening, but it's definitely not silent. Earplugs might be a good idea, just for extra peace of mind. Honestly, a good pair of earplugs can make or break a trip. I've slept through worse.

Yeah, good point. I hadn't thought about the location within Sanny Park making a difference. My guesthouse is actually pretty close to that hawker centre, so earplugs it is then! Thanks for the heads-up. I should probably grab a pair before I go.
