Macau is actually very good for family relaxation holiday, we had great fun and purchased the Museum Plau package at $25.- for 6 museum in five days. Kids are having fun and enjoy Macau both the Museum and the food. Two couple and three kids ( 7 all together) were really happy about our holiday. We'll going again next Chinese New Year, but I'll book much earlier to seek for a better hotel and better package.

Macau is a great place to escape HK. The food is terrific, the colonial setting interesting and the gambling great fun, if you know when to accept defeat. Public Transportation is good and easy to use.

Macau has so much to offer , main thing is to
stroll in the old town , to get a feeling , then there are the museums , the Chinese temples the old cemeteries and the fort , for food most of the well known restaurants are up to expectation , should have chinese food for lunch and portuguese in the evenings , The Crazy Paris show is worth the detour !

There is no problem about the destination because the hotel provide the shuttle bus
to the pier. The location of the hotel
is quite OK-close to the biggest casino in
Macau-Lisboa Hotel.
The room size is big and comfortable but the
interior is quite old.There is no hair dryer
in the room-this must be improve.

Macau is easy to get around. Be careful that the cab drivers understand where you want to go, otherwise, they take you to the wrong place. Bring the name of your hotel with you. Go-Karts were especially fun!! THe Gardens were gorgeous.

The sight-seeing in Macau is very easy as there really isn't that much. We did the main areas on foot from the hotel in about 4 hours! even in 30 degree heat. The views at the top of the hills are worth doing though. The cable car did save our legs a fairly nasty hike up to the lighthouse. The bridges linking Macau and Taipa are a 'must drive over that' event.
Everyone had recommended Fernando's restuarant and so we made the trip. We went over by taxi, which is quite a distance from the central area and cost about $65HK. On the drive we thought it would actually be better if anyone were staying in Macau for some days that to stay in town for a couple of nights and then transfer to Coloane would be best, as at least the scenery is nice. Fernando's lived up to all the hype and delivered a mountain of garlic prawns, delicious salad and chicken. It is well to note that you may get bitten there though, so be prepared with the repellant. We had no trouble getting a taxi back, although we went the scenic route and it cost $90, we did get to go over the other bridge!
At the time we were in Macau the firework festival was on. We had an excellent view from our hotel room and were not disappointed by the displays.
We had actually gone to Macau to gamble a bit and were, therefore, disappointed. The other casinos were pretty much the same as the Lisboa, but without so many people. It may be worth mentioning that some of them will not let you in without your passport for ID.
We did have some fun in Macau and it was worth going to if only to know not to go back there!

Aside from the throng of hookers in hotels and "saunas," Macau is a lovely town with a plethora of great places to eat - Henri's, Platau, and hole-in-the-walls spring to mind. Come here if you'd like a nice, chill weekend (a week would be too much unless you are a hard-core gambler).

We really loved Macau!!!
We are not tour-type people but we don't think there is a need to take tours around Macau anyway. The bus system is excellent and much to see is in walking distance of the hotel.
We enjoyed the Maritime Museum.
We enjoyed the food. We had lunch on the south most island, west of the old village, at a restaurant on a hill over looking the South China Sea. The food was well prepared, fresh and inexpensive. Of course, the atmosphere was like something out of a movie.
Sara enjoyed walking along the beach although the sea although it is filthy. I enjoyed the nature walk across the end of the island.
The summer houses were interesting.
The casinos were disappointing. The minimuns are high.... almost thirty dollars u.s.a and the games favor the house by more than an acceptable amount.... I played only long enough to say I'd done it. Luckily, soon there was a point where I was ahead; so, I could walk away and be able even to say, "I won in Macau!"
