Pulau Ubin 1-2September

Earlier this September, Swing, Lilian, Jessica and I headed to Pulau Ubin for a 2D1N stay at Celestia Resort after purchasing a $54 coupon from DEAL.com.sg

Basically, you pay $54 for the stay, plus $5 ferry ticket to and fro ($2.50 per trip) and a $6/7 van trip to the resort. To get to Changi Ferry terminal, take bus 109 which is quite a walk from Pasir Ris MRT. Changi Ferry Terminal is beside Changi Village where awesome $.350 Nasi Lemak and $4 Ayam Penyat is at.

Kampong life? All the "Ah-Ma Drink stalls" at some random corners of Ubin.



We all enjoyed the trip a lot. Just that we do not like the stay at Celestia Resort. I guess as "well-protected" Singaporeans we do not like the idea of the resort..

  • Being opened to the public, no gates even at night
  • 2.2km away from Pulau Ubin Jetty (25 minutes walk)
  • Reception is very far from resort entrance and your room
  • Your bicycles do not have a place to park (We lost 1 bicycle)
  • Has a open-to-sea jetty in resort itself (Celestia Jetty)
  • A lot of stray dogs starving or suffering from skin problems (they are obedient thou)
  • Not much lighted lamp posts at night, pitch dark!
  • Doors and windows with holes. ants and lizards in the room,
  • Spoilt door knob, Window blinds that allow peeping
  • Brown-ish water with lots of dead fish for snorkeling 


So the next time we visit Pulau Ubin, we are going to rent a bicycle near the Pulau Ubin Jetty and cycle around the island. No overnight, period. The "zi-cha" near the jetty, along the sea, has pretty good food with reasonable similar-to-Singapore prices. Hor fun at Celestia Resort cost $7 with lots of MSG and other side dishes cost above $10 each.

Pulau Ubin is pretty fun after all! (:
