Cotai Water Jet Ferry Ticket - One Way (Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal → Macau Taipa Ferry Terminal)
4.7/5
659 reviewsI got to the terminal a little early and they let me transfer to the earlier ferry. I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some motion sickness medication before boarding, and I was able to sleep soundly while I was there. It was also nice to be able to catch the hotel shuttle bus right after I got off.

The boat was great, just show your booking proof and passport, it was very easy, and there were lots of signs to get to the entrance.

The suite was very clean, and having two bathrooms was incredibly convenient. There's a balcony with a window that can be opened, which is very important for the elderly. We swapped our hotpot reservation for an afternoon tea, and it was very generous. The morning tea, with the discount, cost just over 150 RMB. Freshly baked bird's nest egg tarts came out at 10:30 AM. The quality of the food was good, and it offered great value for money. It's convenient for getting to all the major attractions like St. Paul's Ruins, The Parisian, and the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal.From$72

We checked in late, and the hotel staff were incredibly welcoming, even upgrading our room – what a pleasant surprise! The room was spacious and bright, the bedding was clean and comfortable, and the view from the window was charming. It's super close to popular attractions, just an 8-minute walk, and there are many great Macau-style tea restaurants nearby with delicious food at reasonable prices. Plus, there are plenty of buses right outside the hotel, making it really convenient to get anywhere. Perfect for traveling with kids! The staff didn't talk much, but their service was top-notch. Highly recommend!From$125

Facilities: The hotel facilities are quite new, and the room size is decent. However, the mattress and pillows are too soft, making for an uncomfortable sleep. Many hotels in Macau require check-out before 11 AM the next day, which I'm not a fan of.
Cleanliness: The room was clean and tidy.
Environment: You can take the shuttle bus to Sands Macao. After getting off, it's just a short walk to Artyzen Grand Lapa Macau.
Service: The front desk staff and servers were very warm and generous!From$158

The hotel shuttle is easy to find – just turn right after exiting the airport. Get off at the Studio City stop. To your left is The Celebrity Tower, and to your right is The Star Tower. I checked in at The Celebrity Tower around 4 PM and there was no queue. The staff were very proactive in helping with my luggage. The suite at The Celebrity Tower was incredibly spacious, with a huge bathroom area. The mini-bar was as well-stocked as ever, and I appreciated that the bedside chargers didn't require an adapter. On the ground floor, the Pop Mart store had a full selection of SKULLPANDA figures. Unlike last year, points can no longer be redeemed. Don Quijote is still there, so if you don't want to go to Japan, you can do some shopping at the supermarket. To catch the light rail, turn right from The Celebrity Tower, walk to the end, and go up to the second floor. It's 6 MOP for two stops to Pai Kok, where you'll find plenty of delicious food on Cunha Street.From$356

The Grand Lisboa Hotel in Macau has long been renowned. As an established five-star hotel, my spouse and I experienced exceptional service from the moment we arrived. A staff member immediately approached us as we stepped onto the stairs, promptly taking our luggage and escorting us to the front desk. The five-star service truly lived up to its reputation. The luggage service extended all the way to our room, and the staff member departed with a smile and a bow – truly touching! Although the room wasn't exceptionally large, it was tastefully decorated and well-appointed with all the necessary amenities, striking a perfect balance. The hotel's breakfast offered a wide variety of options, catering to both Western and Chinese tastes, including freshly made wontons and made-to-order omelets. What truly stood out was the hotel's complimentary shuttle bus. Not only did it transport guests to entertainment venues and other major attractions, but even after checking out, it provided free transfers to the Border Gate (Guanzha) upon request. If I have the opportunity to visit Macau again, the Grand Lisboa Hotel would be my top choice.From$172

The family room was incredibly spacious, but the soundproofing in the bathroom wasn't great – you could clearly hear conversations from the next room. 😂
The hotel's location is super convenient, with a few convenience stores nearby. There's also an alley right across from the main entrance with plenty of restaurants. The food was decent.
This hotel has been open for over 20 years, so some of the facilities are a bit dated, but it didn't detract from our stay. Overall, it was still pretty good. Oh, I forgot to mention something important: there's a taxi stand right outside the hotel for airport transfers. Just follow the queue. It's quite close to the airport, costing around MOP 90 (that's without traffic).From$143

Upon check-in, there were no non-smoking twin rooms available, so I requested a non-smoking king room. The room had poor ventilation and a slight odor, but otherwise, it was acceptable. The front desk service was fine. However, room service seemed to dislike Mandarin, as they directly refused my request for an extra blanket, haha.From$81

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!From$92

I've been to Macau many times, and this is my third time staying overnight. The first time, I stayed at an affordable guesthouse in the old city center – clean and tidy, right across from Wen Ji Cafe & Snacks. It wasn't far from Grand Lisboa and St. Paul's Ruins. The second time, I stayed at the Crowne Plaza near the Gongbei Border Gate. The room was super spacious, breakfast was delicious, and the king-size bed was very comfortable. This time, a few of us bit the bullet and booked a room at The Venetian 😭 – decided to splurge a bit. They said it was a Royal Presidential Suite, and it even came with two tickets to the Parisian Macao's Eiffel Tower (the front desk lady mentioned that the 7th floor is actually free to visit now). The rooms in Macau, compared to neighboring Hong Kong, are not just a little bit better [facepalm]. It really is a city centered on entertainment and service industries, with a different positioning than Hong Kong. We took a private car from Hong Kong, and as soon as we got out, a young man helped us with our luggage and gave us a luggage tag. When checking in, you just give the tag to the front desk, and your luggage is automatically delivered to your room. The room was large and spacious, with a separate living room and two TVs. To put it bluntly… the bathroom in this suite could rival an entire Hong Kong hotel room in size! The bed 🛌 was huge and comfortable, the sofa was great, and the view from the large floor-to-ceiling windows was pretty good too – though I imagine the view would be even better from the opposite rooms. Next time, if I get the chance, I'll try out Galaxy and Studio City too [smirk]. Even though it's not ** (missing original text, likely referring to 'cheap'), it's definitely worth experiencing [evil grin]. In mainland terms, almost all hotels in Taipa can be considered top-tier luxury, haha… especially with all the rumors surrounding Wynn Palace, haha… so much 'color' has been added to it… Macau is truly unforgettable and suitable for people of all ages to visit. Thumbs up!From$259

Booked this place online based on a friend's recommendation, and honestly, it's great value for money. There are tons of good restaurants nearby, and it's really close to Grand Lisboa, MGM, and Wynn. We saw the Wynn's Tree of Prosperity, checked out the exhibition at MGM, and even enjoyed some free milk tea. We also tried the geoduck hotpot at Sun Cheong City. The only downside is the hotel's air conditioning – it's freezing! The whole place feels like a giant freezer. It was just too cold. I have no idea why they keep it so arctic.From$79

Grand Lisboa Palace Macau is truly impressive. Although it's a bit far from the Taipa core area, the shuttle bus service is incredibly convenient, and hotel guests even get to skip the line! The ambiance is beyond words – the European palace style is super elegant, and the 'Verdant Paradise' garden is perfect for stunning photos. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated, with high-end, thoughtful amenities, including a fully smart bathroom and a complimentary mini-bar. I was able to check in early at 12 PM.

I've been wanting to stay at this hotel for a long time, and I finally got the chance in Macau!
The room layout is incredibly well-designed, and you can tell the hotel put a lot of thought into every detail. The 'fan' shaped chocolates were a delicious treat, and the Tower View room offered breathtaking scenery. I particularly loved the double vanity, which was a very convenient touch for guests.
Coming back to the hotel at night felt just like coming home. The slippers were neatly placed, there was a sleep-aid tea on the coffee table, and a sweet dreams roll-on on the bedside table – every little detail felt warm and thoughtful.
Since it was our anniversary, the hotel went the extra mile to decorate the room and even left a handwritten congratulatory card. It was incredibly thoughtful.

The hotel is located in Macau Peninsula's old town and is generally quite small. The room amenities are all there. I didn't dare to use the bathtub, but the bathroom came with a floor mat and a non-slip grab bar, which is something older Macanese hotels do better than both new and old hotels in mainland China. The hotel is relatively close to the Macao Polytechnic University and the Grand Prix Museum, about a ten-minute walk. It's also not far from the Ruins of St. Paul's, a walk of a little over ten minutes. Getting to Wynn Palace or Fisherman's Wharf is further and requires a taxi. This time, any journey over twenty minutes by foot, I took a taxi, but I didn't get to ride the **bus**. The hotel has a Cantonese restaurant, Jin Man Xuan, on the first floor, with prices similar to Cantonese restaurants in Shenzhen.
The Macau Tower and the double-decker sightseeing bus require advance booking, so I'll save those for next time when I bring the kids to Macau!
Next time, I'll definitely spend a bit more and stay on Taipa Island.From$73

Traveling with family, we booked two standard rooms. The beds are 1.2 meters wide, which was fine for squeezing in with the kids. The buffet is a great deal: breakfast is 65 MOP per person, and lunch is 98 MOP per person. There's a good variety of dishes, and the food tastes pretty good – much better than the small shops outside, especially for breakfast. Snacks downstairs easily cost 60-80 MOP, so 65 MOP for so many options is a steal. Plus, with the Alipay discount of 5 MOP per order, it works out to about 50 RMB per person. The hotel rooms are pretty standard; you get two bottles of mineral water and typical toiletries. The hotel shuttle usually starts around noon (the Border Gate route starts a bit earlier, at 11:25 AM, then runs every half hour or so, and every 15 minutes during peak times).From$88

The room was spacious and clean, and as a family room, it had no strange odors. The breakfast spread was incredibly generous – we usually filled up on the buffet and didn't need another proper meal until evening, which was super convenient for us traveling with an elderly person and a child. There's no shuttle, but we just used the Grand Lisboa's shuttle for all our transport, which was quite handy. Walking to the Ruins of St. Paul's and Wynn Macau to see the tree show was also a manageable distance. On our last morning, we went to Fisherman's Wharf for some photos and also popped into the New Yaohan supermarket on the 7th floor next to the hotel to buy souvenirs, making for a very satisfying three-day, two-night trip. The only minor regret was that the hotel was undergoing maintenance, so we couldn't walk the 'Golden Path'.From$103

I brought my mom to St. Regis to celebrate her birthday. The hotel decorated the room with balloons and sent a birthday cake and fruit.
Service: The staff were friendly, polite, and provided excellent service 👍.
Facilities: The bed was very comfortable, and I really appreciated the thoughtful design of the small nightlights on both sides of the headboard; you just press them to turn them on.
The breakfast buffet is available from 7 AM to 1 PM, which is a fantastic schedule, and the hotel breakfast tasted great.From$509

I have to say, the design of MGM Cotai is truly artistic; walking through the atrium always feels like a treat. Check-in is strictly after 3 PM, but you can get in line about ten minutes early. The young man who checked me in was very friendly and helpful. However, the short-haired young lady at the next counter, who was assisting an elderly couple, seemed less competent. She struggled to explain things clearly and even had to call over a colleague for help. Later, when I checked out, it happened to be her again. My room charges were over by 0.6 MOP, and she insisted I pay the difference. As I was getting my money out, another young man at an adjacent counter, who was helping another guest, immediately said it wasn't necessary to pay. The difference in service experience was quite significant. She really needs to improve her work efficiency. My room was cleaned daily, and there was also a turndown service. However, the air conditioning in my room was incredibly noisy, so I couldn't use it at all during my stay; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to sleep. Room service was always responsive and very quick. If I have the chance, I might choose MGM Cotai again.From$427

The location is great, very close to Grand Lisboa and Lisboa Hotel. There are bus stops nearby, making it convenient to get around. The hotel's cleanliness is good, and the bedding is quite comfortable. The front desk service and luggage storage were both good. However, the soundproofing in the room isn't great; you can hear conversations from next door very clearly. 😊From$74

The location is excellent, right in the most bustling area of the Macau Peninsula. It's across from Wynn, the front desk service is great, and the price is affordable. The only downside is that the hotel facilities are a bit old; I hope they can be upgraded.From$54

The hotel is conveniently located near many popular sightseeing spots, including Senado Square, the Ruins of St. Paul’s, Macau Cathedral, St. Dominic’s Church, and the Museum of Macau, all within easy walking distance. However, it is situated on a sloping uphill street, so taking a bus with luggage can be difficult, and taxis rarely pass by the hotel. You need to walk down the hill to the roadside to catch a cab. The front desk staff were helpful when we asked for assistance in booking a taxi, but getting one was not easy. In the end, we had to carry our luggage down the hill and walk through several streets to catch a cab.
The room is quite spacious, but a bit dated, and the window lock was broken.From$44

Macau 🇲🇴 has always been a place I've yearned to visit since I was a child. To my younger self, it was a mystery, somewhere I never imagined I'd go. As I grew older, learning about it from different angles sparked my curiosity. Today, I finally gathered the courage to step into Macau, and it's truly captivating. The Grand Lisboa Palace Hotel 🏨 provided excellent service. The staff here were incredibly friendly and helpful to visitors from the mainland, always ready to answer any questions. I'd definitely go back to Macau if I get the chance!From$107

Only two skinny pillows with paper disposable covers on a double bed - no towels just thin paper disposables - no coffee or mugs or spoon despite a kettle / no safe / no mini fridge / the tiniest TV ever - it may have been freshly re finished but it’s not a hotel … it could be so much better considering it’s great location - guess profit got in the way ….From$47
