We went to the palace macao in May 2013 for our honeymoon and had a blast. The food was always AMAZING, we tried all of the special restraunts who all did some really fabulous food, although if you're not very adventurous you may not have liked the sushi or the gourmet meals! Our room was beautiful, and we had our... More

Ok, let's get started, we stayed June 9th, 2013 thru June 15th, 2013. The resort is beautiful, rooms are immaculate as well as all other areas of the resort, the climate control works perfectly, even though we had hot humid days the room would get too cool and we had to raise the temperature. The service and people are excellent,... More

I really don't understand people giving this hotel a bad review, everything about it is excellent. The rooms are the nicest and cleanest I've ever been in, the staff can't do enough for you and are very polite. Your optics and fridge are stocked daily and if you need anything at all just ask at reception and within 5 minutes... More

My girlfriend and I have just returned from a two week stay (28th May - 12th June). We are both in our late 20s and were looking for a nice relaxing break together, which we definitely got regardless of the whole "American Student Invasion" in our first week.

We spent two weeks at this fabulous hotel and could not fault it. The rooms are superb - with plenty of space, lovely bright fittings, a wonderfully equipped bathroom with a spacious wet room and plenty of wardrobe space. Also provided is a drinks (spirits) dispenser and mini-bar with beer, cokes etc which is replenished every other day. The food... More
