Yacht Club Chalet - I'm not recommending it ...

We stayed at Yacht Club Chalet from 20 Feb 2015 to 22 Feb 2015. I hope the management will totally renovate this chalet. When we came in, the door was not even locked. Is this normal?? It's a 2-storey chalet and filthy!! The 4 toilets or so were so filthy! The whole place was lizard-infested and the utensils were not maintained properly. While we were there, there was no gas for us to cook. I called reception and someone sent one gas container instead of 2 and when the lady checked the place at the end of d stay, she said that both of d containers were almost empty! There was no wardrobe in the bedrooms. There was no air-con at the living room downstairs and the wall fan there could not even turn. It was very hot! We have been to other chalets before but they were so much better than this. We are not expecting a hotel standard but neither do we expect such dirtiness. I had a hard time getting my daughter to take her shower because she simply refused to go into the toilets. There was a hole at the sink in one of the toilets and the pole to hold the shower head was broken. The wall tilesand the floor tiles were caked with black grimes.

The toilet next to the kitchen has a towel wrapped around it's pipe. When I removed the towel, i realised that the water was spouting towards me instead of in d sink! The toilet outside the kitchen was a squatting one and d floor was simply concrete. It was so filthy and dirty that I kept the door closed throughout our stay as we did not want to look at its condition. The kitchen windows were in a bad shape and could not lock and open properly. Dust were everywhere. In fact, all the windows have not been cleaned, I think. Every time we opened a window or a cupboard, lizards will jump out of nowhere. Most of the cupboards door were falling apart. If you are planning to book the chalet, bring your own cooking utensils and hot water pot. Air disinfectant, fans and dettol wipes would be useful too. The plus points are free wifi and d space for BBQ. More

changi yacht club chalet

Place was in a very picturesque setting and convenient. Bed was the hardest I have ever slept in but rooms were clean. Bathroom was tired and floor was always flooded. They only gave us one roll of toilet paper and there was no replacement ones. Kitchen was large and spacious, fridge didn't seem to work properly. It was equipped with the basics but not overly clean. We had to wash all the dishes/pans/cutlery before we used it.

I have used Aloha Changi Cranwell Bungalow 3 twice as a local short solo getaway. The good points first - easy to book on weekdays; spacious and quiet; decent built-in wifi; fully furnished. Includes towels. Has green open space. BBQ pit on site. parking space for a couple of cars. Kitchen has a stove and kettle. Standard refrigerator available. Also has a separate freezer useful to keep raw food. The bad points: 1. Dirty - the first time i had to mop up the place (moderate undertaking for a two story bungalow). The extent? The kind where one leaves dirty footprints as one mops. My second visit - it was relatively dust free. Lots of lizard poo but again that's expected given that the place is surrounded by greenery. 2. Broken stuff - The management expects the client to do a logistic check following check in. In a two floor bungalow - its again not a small undertaking. Usually when on vacation, i don't bother to check my hotel room's inventory - I assume that as a professional hotel, most if not all things should be already accounted for before i check in. In the odd event where one or two minor items are broken or lost through no fault of my own, i don't really mind being charged for it. My first visit - one of the showers had no water. I informed the management at the end of my stay and happily they didn't charge me for it. My second visit - a mug i filled with coffee leaked from the base. The same shower still wasn't working. Same outcome as the first visit 3. Veto factor: Disputed extra charges - The bungalow is allocated 25 units of air conditioning charges at the start of the stay per day. If exceeded, the client pays the extra. During both visits, i slept on the sofa in the living room. Staying alone - the upstairs bedrooms are somewhat creepy. There being no air conditioning in the living room, i did not utilize the air conditioning on either visits. I was surprised and indignant to later receive a phone call that on the second visit, i had apparently exceeded 25 units of air conditioning, incurring a charge of $10.25. In short, i disputed this charge with management. They were unable to waive it because it exceeded the threshold of $10 and initially expected me to return to Changi to make payment in person (I live on the opposite side of Singapore). They graciously agreed to accept payment via credit card instead. Ironically, i was planning to and would have rented the same chalet on this very same week. Instead, my time on annual leave is spent instead at home drafting this negative review. I think of myself as a pretty hardy camper - i am an absolutely stickler on honesty though. [Dear Aloha Management, i hope this review is worth the $10.25 you got out of me; i am not sure if it excludes the $100 credit card deposit. if it doesn't, let me know and i will try to expand the review a bit to be worth more. i still have some minor gripes not shared.] Tips to Readers - if you want to BBQ in Cranwell, bring insect repellent of some sort. There are significant number of mosquitoes in the evenings (as expected for the amount of greenery). Bring detergent as well in case you need to do a quick wipe down of the floor/furnishing. There's a mop/bucket next to the stairs. No broom though if i remember correctly.

Not really consider cheap but its really have a large place for gathering, having games, BBQ and resting. Although not easy access but have bus stop near it. A distance to the nearest mart to buy things, same for restaurants too.

friend was a civil servant who enjoys a favourable rate once a year like more than 50% saving than public rate. we booked changi garden chalet H 4 rooms w common toilet ( but website gave wrong info w attached toilet). so pls double layout w admin. 2 storey , partial seaview. i recky around, the changi seafront is nice & chalet A near reception is huge & beautiful. my unit has some reburnishments , new bbq bit, new fridge, freezer, LCD TV. so condition not as bad as describe by some. can easily park 4 cars. changi village is nearby. just bring lots of insect repellants, lot of greens. lovely sailboats sight cos near sailboat club. many clubs around to use facilities but better call ahead to check. some r strict, some r open to public. overally a huge spacious space for bonding.

My family and I spent two nights at Aloha Changi Seafront Chalet A to celebrate my dad's birthday. I had a good deal for a two nights stay here for less than $300 during the super peak season. The chalet we booked was right within the vicinity of the reception office which made location easy for all of us. As we arrived at our chalet, the spaciousness of the building blew us away. This huge building boasted two floors, inclusive of a kitchen, two living rooms, and four bedrooms. The view of the sea that this building had was panoramic and easy on the eyes. There was only one room on the first floor while the other three were on the second floor. We were quite skeptical about the openness of the chalet, but we didn't give in to doubts and put our trust in the security team of the resort. However, to our disappointment, on our last night at Aloha Changi, my family members sleeping in the room on the first floor were disturbed with knockings on their door at five in the morning by a few teenagers. My family members were troubled by that unfortunate incident and was not able to sleep peacefully right after. The security of Aloha Changi is questionable. The next morning, while preparing to check out, a staff of the resort barged into the chalet without telling us her intent at 9:40am to check the inventories of the chalet. I was specifically told that someone would come at 10:10am to do as such, so technically, we had 30 minutes to clear up before the staff's arrival. My family members were getting ready in their respective rooms when she barged in to their rooms. She even switched off the appliances without asking. It was rude and unprofessional. Apart from the incident in the morning, and this particularly rude staff, Aloha Changi Chalet A is value for money if you were to hold occasions that involves a lot of people.
