The Venetian MacauWhat a grand entrance. Absolutely beautiful and elegant. You know when that you have arrived in a 5 star hotel. Checkin was super easy. Passport, inward documentation and a signature and you are done. Check-in staff (Sofia) absolutely helpful. Finding our room was a challenge though. Instructions were given but at 11.30pm and a 9hr flight and a 50min bus ride, the details got a bit scratchy at the end, but we got there. Well, you have to go through the mall and find the entrance to the wing that you are in. I guess shop while you are going to your room or window shop. The room was grand in all sense. The room size,  design, furnishings, and amenities, were of top quality. Bed was neither hard nor soft but in the middle and pillows just excellent, just what we needed after a long day and in every sense, a five star quality. The cleanliness of the room was excellent. Breakfast was a little disappointing. When I had booked on Trip.com, it said breakfast included and didn’t specify type however at the time of check-in I was told that breakfast will be a la charte and it is set menu that we have to choose from. Upon reading the fine print of the booking at the desk, and pointed out by the Manager, it was correct and if I wanted buffet, I had to pay extra. On the hind side, Breakfast set menu was not too bad. Portion was good and food was served and set rather well. I would still would have loved the choice in a buffet. As for the hotel in general. It’s part of The Sands group and all the hotels are connected with a different theme and vibe based on a European city. You can walk internally with name brand shops all around, just the theme changes whether it be a London, Venice or Paris look. A bit of a maze which is pleasure to get lost in as there is always something to grab your attention.  Lots of eating choices choosing from high end restaurants to food court style. Irrespective of which concierge service you go to in each wing of the hotel chain, they are all very polite helpful. I guess the question to ask is, would I come back to the Group if I am to visit Macau, most definitely. The Venetian was incredible but I would like to try another theme.
