[shams]

HI Sisses! Had anyone stayed in Parisian Macau? Just would to know your comments. 

[hushush]

Following this thread! Oct kami punta then plan namin stay for 2days lang bago mag-enter sa mainland china..gusto ko magtingin ng bags at magphoto ops sa The Venetian Macau..mas mahal ba ang bentahan ng longchamp dun kesa sa hk?

Hello! Ask ko lang ano kaya mas ok, Hotel Sintra na family room or Countdown Hotel (old Hard Rock) na 2 queen beds? We're 5 adults kasi. May nakita ako sa Sintra na 2 single beds and 1 sofa bed. Kasya kaya? Or has anyone here stayed in Hard Rock na may 2 queen beds? Halos magka price lang kasi sila. I don't want to spend much sa hotel since we'll arrive in Macau ng mga 9pm then check out na kami agad next morning. Stroll na kami until evening then punta na ng HK..

^ Haven't stayed at Countdown Hotel, but last 2014 we were a group of 5 adults and 1 kid. Pumayag sila kami sa room na yan which you described. Hindi ko sure if queen size but it is bigger than yung double size bed and is good for 2 adults and yung sofa bed for 1 adult.  Nagkasya naman kami and thumbs up ako sa location ng Sintra Hotel.

Thanks, sis! Good to know na malaki yung room sa Sintra 😊

hi mga sis, ask ko lang if how much po yung mga kababayan natin tour guides doon? mas okay po sa amin ang may tour guide para di aksaya sa oras maglocate ng mga pupuntahan. TIA!

Hello sissies! Just want to know if mahaba ba usually ang pila sa immigration? Our ETA in Macau is 9:30 pm (via Cebu Pac) and I'm wondering if mahahabol pa namin ang free shuttles. I'm worried kasi I booked at Countdown Hotel (old Hard Rock Hotel) because they have free shuttle from the airport. Kaso, I just saw na until 9:30 pm lang pala ang shuttle nila! Venetian naman is until 10:30 pm, so pwedeng dun na lang, then tawid na lang to our hotel. Gosh, abot kaya kami? We have have a baby in tow kasi and maraming dala so no-no sa lakad lakad, thus, I booked Countdown Hotel.

[o9kristin]

One more question, since we will be arriving in Macau, is it okay na magpapalit ng HKD na? Lahat ba ng establishments tumatanggap ng HKD? How about mga souvenir shops and kainan, do they accept HKD din ba or do we need some MOP as well?

Hi sisses! Please check naman my composed itinerary. Will travel on Nov 29 (Manila - Hongkong) to Dec 3 ( Macau - Manila) .
Nov. 29 - Dec 1 will be our Hongkong tour and Dec 2-3 will be our Macau tour since our flight back to Manila is in Macau on Dec. 3. Our plan itinerary is below.

Dec 2  - will travel to Macau via Turbojet from HKG by morning. By around 9 or 10AM.
If Turbot jet has schedule by 9:30, we will arrived Macau at 10:30. By then we will proceed our luggage to Best Western Sun Sun Hotel where i booked our 1night stay.
Is it ok kaya na after we leave our things on the hotel, we will go to the Venetian Macau, City of Dreams, The Parisian for casino hopping until night?
Then Dec 3 morning will be tour in Ruins of St Paul, Senado Square, Macau TOwer ( if time permits ), fortaleza do Monte. Our flight is at 6:35pm so we need to be at the Macau airport at 2 or 3pm? Tama ba? Thank you

We stayed at Hotel Lisboa last week. Ok naman, malaki yun room at may mga sofa at table pa. 2 single beds ang kinuha namin. But dahil may mga bata kami na nagpapagulong gulong pag natutulog, we opted to use the mattresses as banig nila, at dahil nga malaki yun room ay nailatag namin yun dun at carpeted naman ang floor... Anglaking tuwa ko. May bath tub at digital bathroom scale!! Then ang toiletries, "hermes" ang brand hehe.. Dun lang ako nakatikim sa tanang buhay ko ng 'hermes' na shampoo, soap, shower gel at body lotion hehe!! Di ko lang natanong sa asawa ko how much per night. Nadismaya lang sya kasi akala nya may bfast buffet. Kaya nga daw sya nagbook dun kahit mahal dahil sa buffet.. Iba pa yun sa Grand Lisboa. Malamang mas bonggabels dun..
Mahal nga lang ang food sa mga hotels pero may nakainan kami malapit sa Senado square na mga Filipino restos/carinderia. Mga lutong-ilokos.. Puro gulay! Sarap!!

Ang gusto ko lang dun, libre ang transpo, you can go around to different landmarks even airport, border gate or ferry terminal for free.. Yun Galaxy Macau nga namimigay pa ng keychains sa border gate e.. Andami namin nahingi kasi 4 kami at kada tig-dalawang keychains ang binibigay..hahaha! : ) we'll definitly come back back next year sa summer vac..

I also enjoyed shopping din, mas mura kasi ang longchamp bag dun (neo and le pliage). And also cath kidston. Pero Kate spade masyado mahal hehe.

Just wanna share our recent trip. We arrived in Macau around 9:30pm. We stayed at Countdown Hotel (old Hard Rock) and wala na silang shuttle. What we did is rode the shuttle of Venetian then tawid na lang. We booked 2 queen bed room. I got it for 6k plus only sa Agoda. The room is big. We were 5 adults and 1 baby but never felt na masikip. Downside lang is smelly yung toilet. Like hindi nalinis ng maigi. The next morning, check our na kami and we left our luggages sa reception. They gave us a card to be used pag icclaim na. They are generous in giving bottled water. We've asked many times while in the room and sa reception before kami gumala. They have free shuttle to and from senado square, ferry, border, and airport. Around 4pm, we headed to the Taipa ferry terminal na. Dun na kami bumili ng tickets and wala naman naging problem. Sobrang bilis lang. Super nakakahilo yung ferry kaya make sure to take Bonamine if you're mahihilohin. Nakakalula din sa lakas ng alon, para kaming nag rides. LOL. Baby ko napapakapit pa sa sobrang lula. Haha!

We just came back from our Macau trip din. Oct 21-24. We stayed sa Macau Masters ng 1st night then transferred to Sofitel ng 2nd and 3rd night. Walking distance lang ang Macau Masters to Sofitel, I think mga 200 meters. Macau Masters is small and ang dilim ng room. Sofitel is very nice. Old na un labas ng hotel pero the room is well-maintained. Walking distance to Senado Square and there are restos malapit sa hotel na medyo mura lang din. Downside - walang shuttle to/from airport. Hanggang Macau Ferry Terminal lang.

Sisses, how the weather kaya next week? Medyo malamig na kaya?

Hi sissies!

I just want to share our Macau Tour Guide nung nagpunta kami sa Macau, kuya Toto Tupan and ate Ludy Hidalgo. They work in Macau and part time lang nila yung pagtour guide. Mabait po sila and they call us "anak", we were touched kasi parang parents namin sila. Si ate Ludy ang inland tour guide namin. Si kuya toto ay nakausap lang namin sa fb dahil umuwi siya ng PH dahil nagkasakit ang anak niya. HKD125 per person lang ang charge nila sa amin which is sobrang mura compare sa mga ibang tour guide. You may contact them sa fb messenger just search for their name

ito po yung napuntahan namin, maraming magagandang lugar ang napuntahan namin, ihanda niyo lang ang paa at binti niyo

All bus fares are shouldered by them
Senado Square
Ruins of St. Paul
A street na puro free taste! From pastries to meat jerky
Macau National Museum
Emperor Hotel
*may isang pang hotel kami na napuntahan pero nakalimutan ko na kung ano name huhu basta sa loob maraming gold and jade sculptures
Wynn Palace - Fountain Dance Show and Cable car with tour sa loob na may free unli tubig at coffee haha free lahat ito
Venetian Macau - free circus show and grand canal
Parisian Hotel - replica of the Eiffel tower (free entrance c/o tour guide)

wala po kami ginastos except for the ferry and lunch namin. lahat kasama sa package nila.

Hello to all. Need help with our itinerary:

June 5, 2018
MNL-MFM (8:35AM-10:55AM)
2 Adults both 20's

These are the places we like to visit:
Venetian
Parisian
Galaxy/COD/Studio City/Wynn (OPTIONAL)
Ruins of St. Paul
Senado Square
Fisherman's Wharf

1) From Macau International Airport, we are planning to leave our bags in Venetian Hotel muna while we roam around. How much kaya charge nila? Then I'm quite confused what to see first, the Macau Peninsula or Cotai Strip? Haven't purchased ferry ticket yet.
2) What time should we leave Macau going to HK na hindi naman super late and at the same time na-maximize din 'yung time covering the mentioned places?
3) Other attractions we can squeeze in?


TIA!
