Polo Club's Secret?

Polo Club Restaurant & Bar

So, I'm heading to the Polo Club Restaurant & Bar next week, heard it's swanky. My friend, who's lived in Singapore for ages, says the cocktails are amazing but the food is...hit or miss. She swore… more

Lol, your friend's a riot. The cocktails are fantastic at the Polo Club, seriously some of the best in Singapore. The food's...well, it's a posh place, so you get what you pay for. Consistent quality isn't always guaranteed, I guess. But the disappearing drink thing? Probably just some clever misdirection, maybe a bit of showmanship. These places often have bartenders who are real pros at their craft. Don't expect actual magic though, unless you're talking about the kind involving a very expensive bill.

Totally get you. The Marina Bay Sands pool is iconic, no doubt, but the sheer number of people vying for that perfect Insta pic definitely takes away from the zen factor.

Or later at night. It's a trade-off, I guess: amazing view versus peaceful relaxation.

So true! I totally hear you on the sensory overload thing. I’ve seen pictures and it looks stunning, but also… hectic. Maybe @Dubai has some less crowded options? Or even some smaller, less famous hotels with equally impressive pools? It makes you think twice about what “infinity pool experience” actually means, huh? The perfect Instagram shot vs. actually enjoying the pool... it's a tough call.
