Room

I believe I was staying in the Luxury Room as it was a room with a river view. I absolutely loved the room as it was spacious (37 sqm) with modern décor. I love the clean comfy, white bed and a proper table for me to work on my laptop when I needed to. Ample plug points for two makes charging your gadgets so much more convenient. Great wifi connection in the room but TV were lacking of English channels, most of the time, I’m stuck watching some Chinese shows or English news.

I love how the toilet have some walking area as well as a huge sink counter to put all my products. Also, this is the first hotel I’ve encountered to use L’Occitane brand as their bathroom amenities, I couldn’t be happier when I saw them properly aligned on the counter as well as restocked everyday. You have a choice to watch a smaller TV while soaking comfortably in the bathtub but the sound system weren’t as good as the bigger TV.

Breakfast

Great selections and taste good as well. Though, I find it rather interesting to find a chocolate fountain and multiple-coloured marshmallows in the dining area because who takes that for breakfast? Having said that, I caved in and drizzled warm chocolate over a bowl of delicious almond cookies on my third day in Macau. I’ve also heard that the dumplings were extremely mouth watering too but I was too caught up chewing on my juicy bacon and eggs that were cooked upon request. Coffee weren’t that great so I opted for their good selection of fresh juices.
