Situated at the tip of the Macau peninsula along scenic, tree-lined Praia Grande Bay, the charming Pousada De Sao Tiago is housed in an old 17th century fort. It lies close to the city's historic A-Ma Temple, Maritime Museum, and the Gate of Understanding as well as other entertainment and shopping venues.This all-suite Macau hotel offers 12 tastefully-decorated suites that are equipped with balconies looking out upon the picturesque Inner Harbour.Three on-site restaurants serve a variety of Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and Mediterranean cuisines, while the stylish Cascata Bar offers a wide selection of refreshing drinks and light snacks.Guests looking to unwind after a hard day's sightseeing can continue to enjoy the views of Macau, only this time from the outdoor swimming pool with its lovely harbor views.The Pousada De Sao Tiago also houses a range of meeting facilities suitable for business events and other functions.
"The hotel's location is superb. It's about a 300-meter walk from Exit A of the Macau Barra Transport Hub. The Barra Transport Hub includes a bus terminal and the Barra Station, which is the terminus of the Macau Light Rail Taipa Line. From the Taipa Line, you can transfer to the Hengqin Line at Lotus Checkpoint Station to reach Hengqin Port, or transfer to the Seac Pai Van Line at Union Hospital Station to go to Seac Pai Van.
The hotel itself exudes understated luxury, surrounded by lush greenery, with the sounds of birds chirping and cicadas singing, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. The hotel's location is already a popular spot, and I even saw people taking wedding photos there. The front desk service is thoughtful and professional. Although the hotel currently doesn't have an elevator, staff are arranged to help carry luggage upstairs, which is quite convenient.
The room was very clean and tidy, with all necessary toiletries provided, and even mosquito repellent equipment. I only used the electric mosquito coil and didn't notice any mosquitoes in the room. The hotel has good sound insulation and is very quiet, with excellent privacy protection. Housekeeping and replenishment of daily necessities only occur with the guest's notification, and non-guests are not allowed into the guest room areas.
The hotel's breakfast is semi-buffet, offering both Chinese and Western options. Although simple, it's very delicious. There are also additional self-service items like bread, fruit, and coffee. The restaurant on the second floor serves excellent food and is very popular; you often need to make a reservation to get a table, otherwise, you might have to dine on the outdoor terrace. However, dining on the outdoor terrace in the evening is also a great option. Firstly, it's not too hot and there are no mosquitoes, and secondly, you get an unobstructed view of the bay's sunset and night scenery (the sunset and night views of Hengqin and Zhuhai across the sea are also quite beautiful).
All in all, it's a great hotel, and I would choose to stay here again if I have the chance."
