My wonderful experience in Macau: I was staying at the Ponte 16 on August 14, 2025. The hotel staff are well trained with a great attitude, from the Concierge Sam, to the Front Desk Jenny and Laura, and Housekeeping Tina. They are cordial, professional, helpful, and make feel at home during my stay in Macau. I would like to extend my warm gratitude to them for making my trip a memorable one. In addition, They always greeted me with a nice smile at the lobby. Warm regards, Chen Pang Xiang, Paul from Hong Kong Room 1516FromPHP 4,115

It is a great hotel with view. Like all other hotels nearby, it is huge. Walking within the hotel can sometimes be tiring. It is connected by foot bridge to Parisian and Londoner hotels. Lots of high end shops. It is a bit too many to my opinion. One issue of this hotel is the sound proof. You can actually hear other guests in the room. Although there is no cigarette smell in the room, I do smell that in the lifts left over by the guest breath. I don’t think anyone actually smoke in the lift. Otherwise, the staff are very helpful. BTW, the Eiffel Tower offer is nothing special. It is free to visit to the viewing platform at 7th floor to everyone. To go to the top is not included. Hotel bus transfers between ferry ports and borders are free to everyone, not just the hotel guests. All hotels in the area offer the same.FromPHP 8,534

Hotels in Macau are generally not cheap, but the Beverly Plaza offers incredible value for money. Its location is outstanding – right across from the Grand Lisboa, a 10-minute walk to Wynn to see the Tree of Prosperity, and just a 15-minute walk to the Ruins of St. Paul's. It's incredibly convenient.
And most importantly!!! The bathroom has a separate shower and toilet!!! The bathtub is also separate! This is so crucial!!! It completely aligns with my preferences! I've found the bathroom layouts in many Macau hotels to be quite illogical, but the Beverly Plaza's bathroom gets a perfect score from me!!!
From now on, I'm sticking with Beverly Plaza!FromPHP 3,912

I brought my elders to Macau and specifically chose a hotel away from the bustling crowds. This Crowne Plaza is located about 1 km from the Gongbei Port entrance to Macau. For such a great hotel, I was surprised to find very little promotion for it on various platforms and social media.
In terms of location, the hotel is in a residential area, surrounded by many supermarkets, restaurants, and other shops frequented by locals. Right outside the hotel's back entrance is a bus stop with numerous routes leading to major destinations like Taipa, Senado Square (Ruins of St. Paul's), or A-Ma Temple.
Regarding facilities, even though the hotel isn't brand new, the bathrooms have separate wet and dry areas, and the rooms feature distinct work and relaxation zones, along with USB charging. This is several levels above hotels in Hong Kong. The cleanliness and attention to detail are also excellent.
As for service, when we checked in, the front desk staff was incredibly thoughtful, helping us exchange small change, explaining the bus routes, and detailing nearby facilities. They even proactively asked if we needed a universal adapter, thinking of every possible detail for us.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Macau!FromPHP 4,554

Even though it's an older hotel, the room was spacious and clean. Check-in and check-out at the front desk went smoothly. I had requested a non-smoking, quiet room when booking, and the hotel had it reserved for me. The family ahead of me, however, ran into trouble because they hadn't noted their preference beforehand and were assigned a smoking room. So, if you have specific requests, make sure to mention them in advance. Honestly though, family rooms really shouldn't be smoking rooms. The breakfast selection was quite limited, and it's not worth paying 100 RMB for it if it's not included in your stay. You're better off grabbing something from Cafe de Coral, a bakery, or a convenience store downstairs.FromPHP 2,974

On a business trip to Macau, I spent a lot of time choosing a hotel and I'm so glad I finally settled on the Grand Lapa Hotel due to its convenient transportation. The hotel boasts an impressive architectural style and an excellent location with plenty of amenities nearby. The abundant breakfast was particularly satisfying. The staff were very helpful and always willing to assist. One day, my room card wouldn't open the door, and it turned out the room lock's battery had died. First, a bellboy accompanied me upstairs to check, and then after about a ten-minute wait, two technicians arrived to fix it, which they did in just a few minutes – very efficient. The bellboy was also very quick and efficient in helping me call a taxi and with my luggage. I brought my own bedding as I was worried about mosquito bites in Macau, but the hotel's bedding was actually very clean. It has the advantages of an older hotel (excellent location) while mostly avoiding the drawbacks (outdated facilities). Although the style is from the 80s or 90s, the carpets and bathroom facilities don't show their age. Great value for money!FromPHP 2,873

Honestly, this stay, probably due to the Chinese New Year approaching and increased crowds, wasn't quite as good as my last visit in terms of service. However, the Thai restaurant and the fitness center still maintained their excellent service standards and quality. On that note, I highly recommend the Thai restaurant's lunch special: 388 for two people, which is incredibly good value for money. You get to try all their signature dishes. I remember paying over 800 for dinner with a friend last time, so this deal is fantastic!
My recurring issue, though, is the bathroom. The shower hose was moldy, the soap dish was moldy, and there was hair on the towel (a long hair, and I have short hair, by the way). Also, the hotel recently changed their toiletries. The body lotion is now the same tiny one found at the Grand Coloane Resort (part of the Artyzen Group). While the shower gel and other items are an upgrade, could the body lotion please be improved?
Finally, a small personal wish: last time, after mentioning it was a repeat stay, I received complimentary welcome fruit, but not this time, haha. It would be nice to have little surprises upon check-in!
To sum up: It was a decent stay, with attentive service. The hardware is a bit outdated, but the aesthetics are top-notch. It's rare to find a hotel with such unique style and design amidst the glitzy Macau, haha.FromPHP 3,937

View was great but window is so dirty never saw this kinda dirty window in theses kind of hotel tbh.
But the worst thing is check in counter staffs tone. They either don’t know how to work in five star hotel reception or doesn’t care any:).
Yet the manager of the department, door man and luggage helper were super kind and helpful.

Had a fantastic stay! We were so lucky to have such a wonderful cleaning lady. She was responsible for our room (06928) for all four nights and was incredibly warm and friendly. Knowing we had two kids, she proactively gave us extra water bottles and tissues, just in case we ran out. Her dedication to her job was truly impressive; she would meticulously check each towel for stains before giving it to us. Even when I told her the bathroom didn't need cleaning, she'd spot dirty areas and kindly ask if we'd like her to clean them. I've never encountered such an exceptional cleaning staff member – so diligent and genuinely caring towards guests. I don't know her name, but she made our stay so much better. Our room was spotless and comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, which made the kids very happy. The hotel also has a heated swimming pool, and on the second floor, there's a Yaohan department store and a food court, making it incredibly convenient. Even if we didn't go out, we could easily spend an entire day enjoying the hotel amenities with the kids.FromPHP 6,878

If anything was missing from the room, housekeeping would bring it right up. After checking out, the hotel even called to say I'd left my wallet in the room – I'm so grateful! Luckily, I had time to go back and retrieve it. Ivy at the front desk was particularly impressive; she was very efficient.FromPHP 3,354

This stay was truly a more-than-five-star experience! When I booked this hotel, I thought it would be a typical hotel, but to my surprise, it exceeded my expectations after checking in. If I ever come to Macau again, I would definitely choose to stay at this hotel!
**Facilities:** I stayed in a sea-view room with a balcony that offered direct ocean views – the scenery was absolutely stunning! It's really hard to find a hotel with a balcony in Macau. The hotel also has an outdoor heated swimming pool and a hot tub, and there's even a sauna in the changing rooms, so you can fully enjoy yourself even in winter! The hotel's decor is incredibly luxurious, making you feel like you're living in a palace, and the facilities all seem well-maintained.
**Breakfast:** Breakfast is served at the hotel's Parisian restaurant and is a buffet with a diverse selection. You can also order noodles, sandwiches, and omelets made to order on the spot, and they taste pretty good. What's more, they even offer ice cream for breakfast, which is really special! If you choose not to eat at the hotel, there are plenty of 'cha chaan teng' (local diners) and other restaurants just across the road, some even open 24 hours!
**Transportation:** The hotel is located right in Fisherman's Wharf, particularly close to Casino Oceanus and Sands, so you can take their shuttle buses from Gongbei Port to get near the hotel. There's also a bus stop not far from the hotel, so transportation is incredibly convenient. If you need a taxi, the hotel concierge can even help you call one.
