Another great thing about the Westin is it's location. We've stayed at other hotels in Macau - right in the heart of the city - but the Westin is located on the island of Coloagne. It's a LOT more quiet, it's on a coast line where you can walk on the beach, there's trees and bush everywhere. It feels hugely more spacious than anywhere else. Coming from Hong Kong, finding SOMEHWERE to be able to walk on grass is a godsend.
A walk of 20 minutes over the beach will take you to an excellent portuguese restaurant named Fernando's - cheap, fun, fantastic food. Great for big groups of people or a quiet romantic evening.
Apart from that - I must admit the hotel is so luxurious that we hardly ever leave!

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.

I took a city tour (about 6 hrs) that was booked through the hotel that was fun, informative and very interesting. The tour guide was very well informed. I visited other places using taxis and enjoyed myself very much. The restaurants served flavorful and eye appealing dishes.

Macau is a great HK-getaway for a short week-end. Restaurants to try are "Litoral" (in the "old dock area" of Macau) and "Fernando's" (on Coloane). Both offer fantastic Macanese / Portuguese food and the hospitality in both is top-notch.
Beware taxis who seem to make a habit of going the "long way round" when traveling to a destination - it would appear that most drivers can't follow a map!!

Macau is a place to go and experience the European flavour of Asia. Some good restaurants and interesting buildings. Saw the Macau.

We have lived in Hong Kong for a very long time and were only looking for a quiet get away week end. We love the African Chicken at Henri's just a short walk along the waterfront. No tours taken or places visited. Been there done that long ago!

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 !

Stayed at Mandarin Oriental Macau - Macau, Macau.
|
Great furniture shopping in the streets around the ruins of St Pauls. Prices include delivery to Hong Kong island but found bargaining much more difficult then here in HK.
Recommendation from concierge re: child friendly restaurant very disappointing. Menu at Vela Italiana & associated restaurants adult focussed and service very poor. We should have done a much more thorough review before we went. Hotel is a $15 taxi ride from the main shopping & sightseeing area and provides a shuttle bus to & from the ferry terminal.
