Hello! May nakabili na ba dito ng HODW voucher sa Klook? Nakasulat kasi dun na system-generated ang pagpili ng seat. Kung dalawang tickets ang bibilhin, may chance ba na di kayo magkatabi? Thanks!

[gcarrie]

^ganyan din worry ko sis kaya sa mismong website na lang ako bumili. may discount din naman ako nakuha para sa mother ko yung isang ticket (senior).
bukas na flight namin, 9.30pm ang arrival. taxi na lang pwedeng transpo papunta hotel sintra?

[kram16]

^ Nakabili na ko sa Klook ng HODW voucher. Kapag 2 tickets pala kinuha mo, magkatabi yung i-aassign sayo. Bale Row H yung nakuha naming seats.

[oolong1]

Sulit bang mag avail ng HODW promo from Hard Rock Hotel? Anyone has tried? MOP1160 for two ang regular price HOWD tickets and Hard Rock is offering MOP 2058.50 with hotel accommodation and MOP 2067.71 if with breakfast.

Hi. I have several questions regarding the Skypier at HKIA. We will be travelling to HK but decided that as soon as we landed, we will go directly to Macau. We already booked a hotel there for our first day.

1. What is the best way/route to go to Macau?
2. Are we eligible to use the SkyPier even if our flight ticket is for HK or do we need to go to the ferry terminals in Kowloon or Hong Kong to ride a ferry to Macau?
3. If we are eligible to use the SkyPier, do we need to go through immigration?

Thank you.

Hello mga Sis, Patulong naman po.

 - Late night na yung arrival namin sa macau (jan 30 - 11pm) and balak namin mag ikot dun ng 1 day. Ok lang ba the next day na kami mag check in sa hotel (jan 31)? Para 1 night lang yung hotel namin sa macau and feb 1 punta na kami sa HK. Saan kaya kami pwede mag tambay while waiting ng umaga para maka-check in.

 - nag ccheck ako ng mga hotel like galaxy and venetian pero fully booked na daw. Ganun po ba yun kahit na next year pa naman yung travel date namin?

- pa suggest naman po kung saan kami pwede mag stay, kahit di sa mga 5 star hotel basta tulugan lang po. Bali 9 persons po kami.


Jan. 30, 2017 clark to macau - 11pm arrival
Feb. 4, 2017 hk to manila - 11am departure
Family of 9 po kami.

TIA po

@nikki21 - may magbubukas na hotel this September 2016 sa Macau - The Parisian Macau. You might want to check it out. Gusto ko sana na mag-stay kami doon kaso di kaya ng budget ng group namin. Hehe Halos Same rate as The Venetian Macao. As for where to stay while waiting for check in time (usually 2PM ang check in sa mga hotels), hindi kita masagot. Baka may iba dito na makatulong sa iyo.

Hi Sis trishevil, nag check ako sa booking com, asa 30k 1 night hehe. Ang mahal

Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel, Cotai Central. Any feedback dito sa hotel na to? Is it near sa mga tourist spot?

[jefsie10]

we're bringing umbrella type stroller for our trip to HK/Macau, alam ko no no ang stroller pagpapunta sa senado square and ruins, but sa hotel ba like venetian, galaxy and COD ok lang  may stroller?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ yeah, ok lang naman sa hotels na yun may stroller. Though if madaming tao, hassle to navigate with strollers. And if magma-mall sa Venetian, hassle mag-elevator pa. Mas madlai mag-escalator na lang. Kaya if you babywear, much better, IMO.

Will start to backread on this thread. Was able to score seats sa CebuPac kahapon sa seat sale. Got out tix for Php 801 lang.

The hotels  turn over rooms starting at 3PM, so arriving late at night the previous day will be tough.  How did NIKKI 21 & group do it?

The Wynn has a fantastic buffet at its Fontana Cafe.  But it is not yet hooked up via free shuttle with the other Cotai hotels.

Try to buy tickets in advance online for The House of Dancing Water.  It is a good Cirque de Soleil type of show; IMO, better than those in Vegas.

The Venetian was  accommodating to occupancy beyond 2 adults per suite.  However, this accommodation was constantly abused.  I once complained about too much noise from an adjacent room.  Eventually,  management found out 30 Indians were occupying that 1 room, and told them to leave.

BUT NOW!,  they give strictly only 2 room card keys.   Any extra key is charged HK/MOP 250 per night.  I like that, it keeps abusers away.   The hotel rooms and corridors have been redecorated/refurbished.  No more romantic accoutrements like curtains over the headboards.  I prefer the new style too, easier for the hotel cleaners  to clean & keep rooms smelling fresh.

Done backreading threads 7 and 6. I can't find thread 5 na. Maybe because sobrang tagal na?

Anyway, we will arrive at around 9:30 PM sa Macau from Manila. Masyado bang paguran if we'll just stay for 1 night and 1 day? Tipong rest and tulog lang pagdating, then gala sa morning til late afternoon then sakay na ng ferry papunta ng HK sa gabi?  We'll be with our 2 yr-old baby kaya nagaalangan ako. Eto lang naman yung priority naming na puntahan:

Senado Square
St. Paul Ruins
Fisherman's wharf
Hotel Venetian

Or sulit ba if we'll stay there for 2 nights? Ano-ano pwedeng activities na pwedeng idagdag if ever 2 nights kami? Pass muna sa HODW since may nabasa ako na may bayad daw ang bata regardless of age?

TIA

[bbthesaurus]

Mga sis, do you think cheaper hotel options like Holiday Inn or Sheraton allows more than 2 adults in a room without extra charges? Kasi we're 4 adults and 2 kids. We'll be arriving in Macau late night na, and i find it too expensive to book 2 rooms pa for us. Kasi matutulog lang kami and we'll be leaving for Hk the following day around 3pm.

Baka you know some hotels that allow this. Thanks in advance

[glyzza026]

Mga sis ano pa bang shuttle ang pwede sa bata from Macau ferry terminal to senado square? May nabasa kasi ako hindi na daw free ang sintra? Hindi kasi kami pwede magtaxi since we are a group of 6.

[choco_mint]

If coming from hongkong and we just want a day tour in Macau, how much should we allot for the 2-way ferry ride? thanks mga sis

[mysterioza_me]

I'm not sure kung tapos na ang tour mo sis but here's the rate (scroll down mo lang)
