Travel Guides & Tips in this video
Shawneydepp returns to Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa, the resort where she married, for a four-day, three-night family getaway with her one-year-old son and in-laws. The room has a pool view and water in sustainable paper cartons. At breakfast, she finds smoked salmon, a real honeycomb, alien frog buns, a kids’ corner, and a baby puree station. The Kids Club has a treehouse slide for older children, a separate play area for toddlers, arts and crafts, and bike rentals; the jungle-themed pool has slides, although her son is too small for some. Dinner at Silver Shell Cafe includes lobster and crab, and she revisits the spot where her wedding solemnization was rained out.

Returning to Rasa Sentosa
Shawneydepp returns to Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa, where she married three years ago, with her one-year-old son and in-laws for a family getaway. The room looks over the pool, and she notices that drinking water comes in sustainable paper cartons. Breakfast is a highlight: the buffet has smoked salmon, an actual honeycomb, a children’s corner with lower counters, alien frog buns her son likes, and a baby puree station. The resort has changed since her wedding visit, and she now sees it through the needs of a family with a toddler.
The Kids Club includes a treehouse slide for older children and a separate play area for toddlers, along with arts and crafts and bike rentals. The jungle-themed pool has slides, though her son is still too small for some of them. At dinner in Silver Shell Cafe, the family has lobster and crab. She also returns to the place where her wedding solemnization was rained out; on this visit, the setting looks right for the occasion.
Oceanarium and family resort
The family visits the revamped Singapore Oceanarium, formerly SEA Aquarium. Shawneydepp finds the extension more immersive, with prehistoric marine life and a large tank holding tiger sharks. She says visitors can take half a day to explore it at their own pace. Keeping up with a toddler makes the visit tiring for her, even as the exhibits hold her interest.
She contrasts the aquarium and resort with the attached Resorts World Sentosa, which feels to her like a sterile shopping center rather than a resort. Her conclusion is that Rasa Sentosa is Singapore’s best family resort because of the detail put into its child-friendly facilities. The trip combines memories of her wedding with a new visit as a parent, from the baby puree station and children’s activities to the shark tank. She thanks her mother-in-law for arranging the memorable escape.
