Time Out says

Sentosa, which means ‘peace and tranquillity’ in Malay, is anything but. Once a fishing village, it served as a British military fortress from the 1800s to 1967 when it was known as Pulau Blakang Mati (‘Island of Death from Behind’). In 1968 it began a new lease of life as a holiday resort. 
Some think Sentosa is the bee’s knees among Singapore’s sights; others deem it a Disneyland wannabe. But the best way to tackle the island is to embrace its tackiness along with the decent offerings. There is plenty to see so prepare to spend at least half a day here.

A Magical Island Adventure: Let's Set Sail with Disney Cruise Line

We may not have Disneyland, but Sentosa is giving us something pretty close from now till September 20: a Magical Island Adventure! In collaboration with Disney Cruise Line, the island transforms into a playful day-to-night experience inspired by the seven themed areas aboard the Disney Adventure, now sailing from Singapore. Start your journey in the skies with a themed Singapore Cable Car ride, before wandering through Sensoryscape’s blooming, dreamlike pathways featuring Disney princesses and heroines. Then make your way to Palawan Beach, where Big Hero 6's Baymax, Toy Story favourites and Marvel heroes bring the shoreline to life in larger-than-life, photo-ready form. Finally, head to the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia, where stories from The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, Lilo and Stitch, and Moana take over – and for the first time, it stays open till 10pm, so you can catch the islet glowing after dark. Be sure to spot the glowing manta rays in the waters. Along the way, you’ll find immersive installations, meet and greet your favourite Disney and Pixar characters on selected dates, collect stamps for your Adventure Stamp Card to unlock an exclusive sticker set, and shop limited-edition summer merch drops designed for keepsake status.
