"Hygiene and Cleanliness: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
The overall cleanliness of the room was acceptable, and the environment was reasonably comfortable.
Value for Money & Decor: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5)
Considering the standard of the room decor by the European-style riverside, the pricing is on the high side, making the value for money relatively average.
Highlight Feature (Pool): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)
The most satisfying aspect of the entire stay! The hotel's infinity pool offers excellent views and an expansive panorama, making it a perfect spot for photos and social media check-ins.
🛎️ Service & Hospitality (Birthday Experience & Communication)
Front Desk Reception & Flexibility: ⭐️⭐️ (2/5)
Late checkout denied: I requested a complimentary late checkout until 1:00 PM because I had a bungee jumping activity early the next day, but it was denied by the front desk, showing a lack of flexibility.
Communication gap: During check-in, I proactively asked about birthday amenities, and the front desk verbally stated that the ”room had already been specially decorated.”
Customer Service Responsiveness & Crisis Management: ⭐️ (1/5)
Broken promise: Upon checking in, I found that the room had absolutely no decorations.
Passing the buck and insensitive remarks: When I called customer service to inquire, they first claimed it was an ”oversight,” and then blurted out: ”It's so late now, you wouldn't need decorations, would you?” After I confirmed that I did, they bluntly stated they were understaffed and ”couldn't do anything.”
Compensation: Ultimately, I only received a supermarket voucher worth 30 MOP as compensation, which felt very insincere and left the birthday celebrant quite disappointed.
💡 Summary and Recommendation
Pros: The room hygiene is good, and the infinity pool is outstanding.
Cons: The room's hardware and decor do not match the high price; the hotel's arrangements for celebrations/birthdays are chaotic, with inconsistent information from the front desk and customer service. Their responsiveness and customer service attitude need significant improvement.
Overall review: If you're coming for the infinity pool, it won't disappoint you; however, if you expect excellent celebration services and flexible, considerate hospitality, the hotel's performance in these areas is regrettable."
