Grabe dami tao last Oct. 3 sa Macau because of China holiday. From noon to 7pm Senado Square, Ruins at The Venetian lang nakaya namin puntahan. Punuan yung bus na papunta ng Venetian from Senado Square. Tapos yung mga cab sobrang discriminating pa magsakay inuna nila Chinese kahit nauna ako pumara. hmp. Buti na lang madaming nice Pinoys sa Venetian.

^Hi sis Sofiemae! I'm here lang, lurking haha. Hindi pa ako nakakabook :( I checked Agoda, 13k+ pa din Venetian tapos sa website nila HKD2,398 yung cheapest suite. :( Namali ako ng schedule ng pagpunta sa Macau, I'll be there ng weekend kaya mas mahal.

Sis nagreply sayo si Alijah? Tried sending a message sa FB pero ayaw mag-go through.

ang kulet! hindi pala nasabi na ang mga shuttle pala is point to point lang..you have to alight then TRANSFER to another bus if sa ibang point ang punta even if same hotel bus hahaha all the while akala ko 1 bus ride then all the stops na yung takbo.

anyways, magastos sa macau akse hotel lang ang choice of accommodation pero if you plan ahead naman, makakasave din.

try mo Galaxy mas maganda don... tried staying in both hotel (venetian and galaxy) and for me mas nagustuhan ko ang galaxy... meron din murang kainan sa loob ng hotel (like McDonald's etc) unlike sa venetian na overpriced lahat including the water!

And very crowded sa Ventian di ko na enjoy facilites nila don, unlike sa Galaxy, meron pa silang man made white sand beach and other facilites for kids.

^ako sis yan pinag pipilian ko dati yang 2 na yan kaso mahal sobra ng rooms e aabot  ng 13K sa date namin (less my points sa agoda, nasa 8K nalang) nabasa ko free pa yung mini bar nila... ask ko sis if ever sa galaxy kami mag stay ok lang ba ang sneak in at pag march kaya din mag swim hindi kaya malamig o may heater naman ang pool :)? Hindi ko masyado nalibot yung hotel kasi napalaro kami ni hubby sa casino heheh... Sa venetian sis dami ko na nabasa madali lang mag sneak in kaya parang kampante ako at malaki rooms :) need ko na mag finalize bukas gang 11 nalang kasi promo ng venetian :( thanks sis for the reviews...

^ naku sis pedeng pede mag sneak in, parang pagkabigay sayo ng card key e bahala ka na sa buhay mo haha. Hindi ka na nila ihahatid sa room, kami nga dati lima kami sa isang room dedma lang, as long siguro as hindi kayo magre-request ng mga extra (like bed,towel,pillow...)

May isang heated pool sa galaxy so pede pa din kayo mag swim.

@piggybear, madami akong napulot sa itinerary mo ah. Last time I've been to Macau was 2008 pa and overnight lang kasi sidetrip lang from HK. Just lurking at this thread, checking if there are some good spots i wasn't able to visit during my first time there.

Ang dami mong spots sa itinerary mo, balitaan mo ko which were your favorite ones so i could contemplate if i wanna go back to Macau for those, hehe. I've only been to St Paul Ruins, Senado, Wynn, Venetian, and did the Skywalk at the tower.

^ hi travelchic! Yup, successful naman ang Macau trip namin. It was tiring but fun :) May mga di lang kami napuntahan like si Guia Fort, Grand Prix Museum and Wine Museum kasi super napagod na kami and gusto na lang namin magchill. :p

Sa Giant Panda Pavillion, i recommend na punta kayo around feeding time para gising si panda. I forgot anong sched, 10 am ata and 1pm? Pacheck na lang sa tripadvisor. When we went there, nagkamali kami ng baba ng bus kaya super lakad kami. Tapos tulog ang panda kaya sayang din hehe. Gumagalaw lang onti, naalimpungatan ata :p Mas sulit pa rin sa Ocean Park sa HK, imho. After Giant Panda Pavillion, nagpunta kami ng Taipa village. Dito nag ikot lang and nag food trip. Sinubukan din namin kumain sa isang Portuguese restaurant dun (O Santos Comida) for experience. Masarap naman ang food, medyo pricey lang.

House of Dancing Water is a must :) Kahit yung pinakamura na ticket okay na, kasi pabilog naman yung area so kita lahat. Gandang ganda kami sa show na ito.

What else.. ah! Nag-enjoy din kami ng partner ko sa Sands Cotai - Dreamworks experience. Nagpapic lang with Shrek and other dreamworks characters. Alam ko may parade din dun, 3pm ata. Di lang namin naabutan :)

Sa gabi, chill lang kami around Venetian area kasi nung time namin may event sa bandang labas. May kumakanta, tapos may shows sa gilid gilid.. Meron din food bazaar. Tapos picture picture sa mga nagiikot na kakaiba costume hehe. Naenjoy din namin to :) May option din ng Gondola ride sa labas ng Venetian during gabi. Mas mahal lang ata ng onti versus dun sa Gondola ride sa loob. Kami, we opted sa loob na lang hehe. Enjoy pa rin naman kasi another first for us :)

Fisherman's Wharf is okay. Late gabi na kami nakapunta so wala ng tao.. Maganda sana yung place, sayang lang kasi parang di na ata nadevelop ng husto. Maganda din magpicture picture dito, pero for me, di siya yung place na pagtatambayan mo ng matagal.

Puro bus rides lang ginawa namin dito. Okay naman haha, kaso nung isang beses nagkamali kami. Pabalik pala yung way namin tapos napadpad kami sa border na pa-China. Kaloka. Haha. :)

Masaya din mag hotel/casino hopping. Natetempt nga kami maglaro sa casino kaso lang naisip namin sayang pera hehe. Ipinangkain/shopping na lang namin :p Okay din pala sa Macau tower, naenjoy rin namin picture picture and manood sa nagsskywalk at bungee jumping. Ang tatapang nila :)

All in all, we enjoyed the trip naman. :)

Sa Ole London Hotel pala kami nagstay, i booked via Booking site. Kaso nagkaproblem kami nung magbabayad na during checkin using my credit card. Yung dalawang credit cards ko (bpi + citibank) both di tinatanggap nung machine nila. Di ko alam kung bakit :( Panic pa kami kasi madaling araw na and we are not sure if there are atms around the area since wala kaming excess cash (on hand) for hotel since ang thinking nga is credit card gagamitin. Ang tindi rin nung language barrier namin at ng receptionist kasi di sya marunong mag english.

Buti na lang pumayag na half muna bayaran and may atm din pala sa labas. Isang tumbling lang hehe. Ok naman itong hotel, medyo nahirapan lang kami hanapin nung una. Siguro dahil gabi na kaya di namin sya napansin. Pero ok naman yung place kasi near bus stops and stores like 711.. Tapos sa likod pwede na lakarin papunta Senado Square.
