This is my 1st management retreat but the company's 2nd at Sentosa Island. The rest of the management team had their inaugural retreat in January this year. Amara Sanctuary Resort is a fairly new establishment in the Island, about 1 year old. It has a modern resort theme, with tall glass panels, wood paneled walls, marble floored staircase that rises majestically across a double volume space, luscious wool carpet in the conference rooms, earth-toned marble flooring in the bathrooms and simple modern lines. 
Amara Sanctuary Resort is perched on a hill slope, just off the Sentosa Gateway, facing the World Resort theme park, and across Vivocity. I like this wooden door, with hazel nut colored laminate wood, and mirror-finished door handle. One can see Nigel and Glen's reflections on them. 
The resort has a relaxed outdoor, covered by a luscious blanket of tropical flora and fauna. I managed to catch a glimpse of a few peacocks in the vicinity before the sun set. These birds are the mascots for the resort. They are so used to having humans around them that they were oblivious to my photo taking. 
The reception lobby and its hotel rooms are in a separate building, away from the conference rooms and ballrooms. We had to shuttle between the two buildings every day. It is considered a boutique-style resort hotel with limited number of rooms. 
Occupancy during the last weekend was all right, but not full. Many of my colleagues believe that this hotel will face tough competition from the neighbouring world resort hotel and theme parks when they open in 2010. But until that day comes, Amara Santuary Resort is still a pretty good choice for a weekend getaway from the bustling Singapore CBD.

The white sheets are comfortable enough for my liking - soft, smooth, and not cutting into my delicate flesh. Generous use of wood panelling in the room, with natural materials throughout.
