Marina Bay Sands

If you want to use the pool facilities on the Marina Bay Sands’ rooftop, you must be a hotel guest. This is the most spectacular hotel swimming pool. The views from the top are breathtaking, and some say they are worth the hotel’s room rate. If these hotel rates are out of your price range, consider purchasing a ticket to the Skypark Observation Deck. There are restaurants, bars, and the same spectacular city views; definitely worth your money.
