Tenth place goes to Sofitel Sentosa, level on 35 with W Sentosa Cove and ahead of it by distance. The resort runs a free hand-carry-only shuttle from HarbourFront MRT every half hour, per its own page, and our routing puts the Singapore Cruise Centre about 2.3 road miles (3.6 km) away, 7 minutes — among the closest in our list.
Only small hand-carry bags are allowed on that shuttle, and the resort doesn't call it a cruise transfer — so we score it zero. For a suitcase you'll want a taxi, and a taxi to Marina Bay Cruise Centre is 5.7 road miles.
The resort sits on 27 acres with beach access, and the page names Kwee Zeen as its one dining area. Sofitel's page doesn't print a pool, a room count, breakfast terms or a check-in time — so call before you book. Complimentary parking is subject to availability.
Book it for Sentosa itself, and ask about a pool, breakfast and a late check-out before you do.
Book it if
- You want a resort night on Sentosa with the shuttle to HarbourFront MRT.
- You're travelling with hand luggage only.
- You want free parking on site.
Look elsewhere if
- You need a pool the page lists, or breakfast terms.
- You're sailing from Marina Bay, 5.7 road miles away.
- You'd have a big suitcase on a shuttle that takes hand-carry only.

Sofitel prints no distance to either terminal. We put the Singapore Cruise Centre at HarbourFront 2.3 road miles (3.6 km) away, 7 minutes, and Marina Bay Cruise Centre 5.7 miles. With a suitcase, book the taxi — the half-hourly shuttle isn't built for it.

HarbourFront, half-hourly, no suitcases
By our routing the Singapore Cruise Centre is about 2.3 road miles and 7 minutes away. For Marina Bay Cruise Centre it's 5.7 miles, which is the figure to weigh if your ship is there. The 2.3 miles is for HarbourFront, not Marina Bay.
The resort lists an airport limousine from S$180++ a way. Its only shuttle runs from HarbourFront MRT to the resort, every half hour, free, for hand-carry bags.

Driving onto Sentosa? The parking page and the train notes are the reads.
Source: singaporecruise.com.sgWhy a resort gets zero for the ride
Thirty for being among the closest to a terminal, five for the food and nothing else. We score the shuttle zero because it won't carry a cruise suitcase, and the page doesn't print a pool. The scale tops out at 100.
What the page never says: pool, rooms, check-in
Sofitel's page doesn't print a pool, a room count, breakfast terms or a check-in time. What it does say is 27 acres, beach access and one named dining area, Kwee Zeen.
