Macau Hotels with Balcony

This is my third stay here, and each time I've stayed for two nights. The service staff and bellhops are consistently excellent. Hotels on the mainland really have a lot to learn from Macau in every aspect. The mini-fridge in the room is fully stocked with drinks, snacks, red wine 🍷, and coffee beans – all complimentary. (Though the manual coffee grinder needs replacing; it can't grind the beans into powder). When we checked out, we had a lot of luggage, and the manager even helped us call a taxi 🚕.

Traveling during the off-season on weekdays offers great value for money. The staff are very polite and work hard to provide good service. However, as Andaz Macau has been open longer, it feels like they might be cutting costs on the parent-child/birthday amenities. Many guests have commented that the slippers are quite slippery, and I even saw a child wearing them fall in the Andaz Macau Kids Zone. The hotel probably believes they are safe and hasn't changed the material, but I still didn't use them. Staying here, the Andaz Macau Kids Zone is easily accessible from the 3rd floor of the Marriott, just a short walk away. The breakfast was decent, with all the usual offerings. I especially enjoyed the very fresh and sweet Shui Dong mustard greens.

For our trip to Macau, we opted out of the bustling areas and chose this unique and well-preserved ancient building instead. I heard that a Chinese designer, who also designed Dubai's 7-star Burj Al Arab, was responsible for transforming the entire building into a hotel. The room was very spacious and well-divided, with the sleeping area inside and a separate living area outside, ensuring privacy. There's also a long, narrow balcony where you can enjoy distant sea views and towering buildings! The mattress was super comfortable, leading to a deep sleep, and there was also a vintage rocking chair nearby. I have to highlight the shower; the oversized rain showerhead made for an incredibly comfortable bathing experience! The toiletries were L'Occitane. The restaurant staff, Clariza and another gentleman, were both excellent, enthusiastic, and professional, providing great room service! The hotel is conveniently located opposite the MTR and a bus hub, making it easy to get anywhere in Macau! All in all, staying at the Hotel Fortaleza do Monte was a thoroughly satisfying experience!

The hotel is excellent, with top-notch service. The rooms are cozy, comfortable, and quiet, and fully equipped with amenities. The location is superb, very close to Rua da Penha, Avenida da República, Penha Hill, Lilau Square, Mandarin's House, the Maritime Museum, A-Ma Temple, and Fai Chi Kei Market. There's a bus stop about 100 meters from the entrance where you can catch buses 9 and 16. The hotel also offers a shuttle bus service between the hotel and Border Gate (Gongbei Port), passing by New Yaohan, making transportation very convenient. The sea-view rooms directly face the Macau Tower and Sai Van Bridge, offering a first-class view!

The location is far from the city center, and it's very quiet around. Downstairs is Cheoc Van Beach, where many locals swim. The swimming area is quite large and not too crowded. Overall, it's pretty clean, but just too quiet. The hallway was particularly creepy, and the blue and white decor made me feel helpless. There's no elevator, so getting up and down is inconvenient; definitely don't bring elderly people to stay here. It's fine with kids, but they should ideally be able to walk on their own. It's good for a relaxing vacation, but I wouldn't recommend it for a first-time tourist as getting around is quite troublesome.
