ones. YES! The service is impeccable, and gentle. Besides food, the lounge also offers a magnificent sea view. A few angmohs were drinking like a fish; I think they wanted to get their money&#8217;s worth. Times like this, I wish I could drink like a fish too.

After all, the hotel isn&#8217;t situated in the city. But after the stay, the high occupancy rate is completely justified. Although there are\u00a0many airlines&#8217; staff, holidayers, and staycationers, the service remains good, and the maintenance stays on top of things. Grand Mercure has exceeded my expectations and the\u00a0staycation has indeed been a grand cure for Me(r).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grandmercureroxy.com.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n50 East Coast Road, Roxy Square, Singapore 428769<br \/>\nT: +65 6344 8000<br \/>\nE: H3610-FO16@accor.com<\/p>\n<p>Written by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/1\/108878679194863181230?rel=author\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"author noopener\">A.
