Macau Guide (Thread 6)

^may mga specific terminal lang yan na pwede kang sumakay. gaya ng mga ordinary bus don, hindi pwedeng magsakay & magbaba kung saan2x kundi sa bus stop lang

[longing]

karxn, from COD papuntang Lisboa, sa baba ang sakayan ng free shuttle, pila ka sa Sintra sign. Ang free shuttles from point-to-point lang sila nagsasakay at nagbababa.

[karxn]

Wow, thanks rocky and longing! Those tips are really helpful!

[sophistique]

Hi sisses, it'll be our first time to have a Macau-Clark flight. Plan kasi namin, Clark-Hong Kong then sa Macau na lang manggaling since night pa yung flight dun. Does Macau charge for travel tax & terminal fee as well if you're departing? How much kaya sya? Madami kasi kami kaya better na prepared. Thank you very much!

[princess lorraine]

^wala ka ng babayaran sa macau airport sis. 

[rocky]

^^kasama na yong terminal fee & tax sa ticket mo kaya wala ka ng babayaran sa airport. kung mapapansin mo mas mahal yong ticket nyo pabalik dito lang naman sa tin ganon ang sistema

[Miss Charcoal]

Bukod sa ferry terminals, meron pa bang ibang places kung saan pwedeng sumakay sa free shuttles? Sabi kasi sa isang blog, meron daw free shuttle papuntang Grand Lisboa sa parking ng City of Dreams?

O pwede bang pumara ng free shuttles pag may nakita ka? Hahaha. Sorry for the weird question. I'm just wondering if the hotels have pick-up points aside from the terminals.

Sa Sands Hotel pwede sumakay papuntang Venetian.

sino po dito ang pupunta ng Macau from Hongkong then Macau to hongkong the same day on April 27?
or kahit yung going to Hongkong lang coming from Macau on April 27, wala kasi ako kasama eh.

[karxn]

I enjoyed Macau more than Hong Kong. May isang grupo din ng Pinoy kaming nakasalubong, sabi nila "Mas maganda dito kesa Hong Kong."

From Taipa terminal, we rode a free shuttle to The Venetian. We strolled around The Venetian and ate at their fast food. Around 2pm, we rode a Sands shuttle bus just outside of The Venetian. Papasok sana kami sa Sands kaso hinarang kami kasi may bata kaming kasama. So we went to Fisherman's Wharf instead. Majority of our trip photos are taken here, maganda kasing pang-photo op yung place at wala rin masyadong tao sa pose lang nang pose. We went back to Sands and rode a bus to Taipa Terminal. Back to Hong Kong before 6pm.

We went there for a day trip; hopefully we could stay overnight next time so we could see the great casino lights!

Thanks to all sisses who helped and shared their experiences! Big help!

[rocky]

^super bitin nga punta mo sis. actually madaming mapapasyalan sa macau, at least overnight sana para sulit. saka masarap mag-foodtrip and casino hopping

[bagaholic_chewy]

Masaya nga sa Macau, kasi madami free shuttle to go around. Our most recent Macau trip was about two weeks ago. This time, we stayed at Galaxy Macau.

Ferry from HK to Taipa Terminal. Shuttle to Galaxy. Checked in. Rode shuttle to the main ferry terminal, took public bus to Macau Tower. Had lunch sa revolving restaurant, went to the observation deck, took public bus again to go to city center. Walked to Senado-Ruins-Lisboa, etc. then crossed to Wynn and waited for the musical fountain show. After the fountain show, we walked to Starworld hotel to take the shuttle back to Galaxy. The following day, we checked out 12nn from the hotel, then shuttle to Venetian, left luggage at concierge, walked a bit to the Sands Central (across Venetian) for some photoop, then spent the rest of the time til before our flight at Venetian.

Last year na punta namin, we stayed naman sa Venetian.

Hi sis! If your going to stay longer! Be sure to buy their bus card! Its cheaper at the grocery store, and its 130 MOPS! and i love their food their sobrang sarap lalo na sa taipa village, sobrang ng enjoy ako!

[princess lorraine]

^^sis which do you like more venetian or galaxy? Lagi kasi kami sa venetian nagstay eh kaya i'm wondering kung ok din sa galaxy. Thanks

[prettybarbie]

Nakapag stay na rin ako both sa venetian and galaxy and i like the galaxy more. Mas enjoy ko mga facilities nila don, super kid friendly.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ on rooms: mas maluwag yung sa Venetian kasi suite, sa Galaxy naman maluwag din pero walang separate living area. Pero me balcony. I liked our stay sa Galaxy more kasi mas narelax ako. Request for the rooms at the 6th floor, with a view of the pool. Yun ang binigay sa amin e, kasi we requested for a nice view. Me free stuff din sa mini-bar, nung kami me 2 softdrinks in can, 2 beer in can, me cup noodles and pringles. And the usual coffee/tea items.

Sa Venetian kasi, i feel it's too crowded.. Pagbaba mo from room, andami na agad tao. For me din, mas grand ang lobby ng Galaxy, especially yung sa Fortune Diamond lobby. Meron din mini-fountain show dun sa Fortune Diamond lobby, don't miss it, really nice. May mini-mall din naman ang Galay, me food court din (me McDo, PepperLunch, etc) so me mga options din naman for food.

[sapphire_bella]

sisses, must see ba yung hodw show? ang mahal kasi...although di naman ako mahilig sa circus acrobatic ekek na iyan..and ill be travelling alone kasi so budgeted talga..it will be my first time to gop to hk and macau...september 18-21 ako..september 19-20 overnight stay ako sa macau...hotel sintra...its the best i can afford...di realistic yata pag galaxy and venetian hotel tapos wala ako ka share sa expenses...

may cirque de soleil pa ba kasi mas mura? baka kasi wala na ako m,agawa sa macau eh..how much yung sa macau tower? without the bungee jump ha..isa pang mahal yun...grabe,,

[prettybarbie]

i've seen the House of Daancing Water, and im very satisfied. Yeah it's quite expensive pero it's so worth it. Makikita mo naman sa production na talagang maganda and really kakaiba. You'll be amazed. And BTW hindi sya basta circus lang, it's more than that....

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ yung Macau Tower, entrance fee for the observation deck is i think MOP 120 (if tama pagkaalala ko ha..). Meron din sila package na me kasamang lunch sa revolving restaurant. We had lunch there, generally so-so ang food, though me ibang dishes naman din na ok. pwede na din, better than the revolving restaurant at KL Tower. I think it was MOP260 nett for lunch. We didn't get the package kasi nung una wala kami balak mag-observation decks. Pero after lunch, we decided na umakyat na din. Ok naman din, aliw esp yung sa indoor deck na me glass floor. Tapos me napanood din kaming tumalon. I think the lunch and observation decks package will save you about MOP50.

On transpo, we took bus 32 from Macau Ferry Terminal (3.20 fare, can pay using HK coins, exact fare only, walang suklian). Meron din yata free shuttle from City of Dreams na dumadaan sa Macau Tower.

[princess lorraine]
