Review of Westin Resorts, Macau

A great story starts with a memorable location and "A night at the Grand Coloane" would make a fitting title of that book.

Take a gander at the beach by the bay, or a Portuguese restaurant just close by. Hike up the trails on the park or simply enjoy the views from the sunrise.

The hotel has a wide open area overlooking the sea, its shape is reminiscent to the hanging gardens of Babylon; each floor arching towards the top like a pyramid. Each of the rooms make up for the balcony the makes the Grand Coloane's minimalist yet distinctive shape.

A bus to the Cotai Strip or to the Macau Ferry Terminal comes at intervals of 30 minutes till half and hour before midnight. So you are never far away from entertainment nor compromising its isolation at the bay.
