The verdict

The VivoCity shuttle stopped on 1 September 2026, and Village Hotel Sentosa sits eighth, on 40 points. The hotel says its VivoCity shuttle stopped on 1 September 2026 and points guests to the Sentosa Express from Imbiah station, a three-minute walk.

The Singapore Cruise Centre is about 2.3 road miles (3.7 km) away on our routing, 7 minutes, and the hotel says five minutes by car to VivoCity and HarbourFront. The monorail takes you to VivoCity, which is next to HarbourFront, not to the terminal's door.

It has four themed pools, though the Pamukkale pool is shut from 18 August 2026 to 1 February 2027. Parking for guests is free. Breakfast runs 07:00 to 11:00, and the page doesn't make clear that every rate includes it.
