4D3N Macau

Macau, Vegas of China

Huge splendid casinos and Western infused heritage, Macau is the center of all the glitz and glam. Alluring lights filled the night skies, music can be heard from the streets, hotels built around influences of the riches, Macau is truly a sight to see.

My 4D3N vacation in Macau spurred all of a sudden from a talk with my older aunts one night.

“How about we visit Macau this year? Spend a little more for a lavish stay in a hotel and we can roam the city? Food looks pretty good and we can go everywhere with the hotel free shuttle service.”

And that was all it took to make a vacation of 5 to happen. We decided to go on November as we’re trying to avoid the hot, blazing summer sun— perhaps a little sun is good but not too much, we’re done with Malaysia’s warm weather all year round.

Sheraton Grand Macau, Cotai Cental.

Our accommodation was remarkable. Sheraton Grand. I got to know of this property while on my previous job, every little thing they provide and every little service they offer. Price-wise, it was decent for a 5-star establishment with first-class service.Let’s not forget the amazing pool they have! Take a swim at night and you’ll be enjoying the beautiful night lights.

The room was spacious and almost too comfortable, I almost wanted to trash the itinerary and stay in for the entire trip.

Food was a dime a dozen. Meh.

Nothing fantastic that blew my taste buds— just ordinary Hong Kong food, even the Macanese food tastes basic for the amount of money we’re paying. Meals in Macau are shockingly overpriced! We end up eating in the hotel’s restaurant as it is cheaper than in food courts/outside. Oh, their McDonalds breakfast is amazing though, Crayfish Panini for breakfast? Um, yes please.

Dim sum and lots of Dim Sum.

Convenience at your fingertips with Macau's free shuttle bus.

What I enjoyed the most was the free shuttle service provided. We can go anywhere as long as we know which bus to take. Sightseeing was enjoyable, although some places were thronged with tourists. The places were so well-maintained and clean, no wonder people felt comfortable here.

I don’t encourage going on a holiday with a jam-packed schedule. Although pre-planning is always recommended to make the most of your holiday, a state of stress and rush would make your entire holiday a frantic mess. I’ve had people telling me that 4D3N in Macau is way too long— I beg to differ. It all depends on our own pace in enjoying what the place has to offer.

A holiday is all about taking it easy. Stop to enjoy the colors of the building, sniff the aroma wafting out from their local bakery and take in the sight of the night lights. Macau has so much to offer and we're already planning for our next visit! Except next time, we're definitely doing extra homework on good places to eat in Macau.

To travelling with a lighter heart,
