My fiance and I stayed at the Casa Real for one night. We figured, it will just be one night so we can stay at a 3-star hotel. We had taken the ferry from Hong Kong and were pleased to find out that the hotel was only about a 15 minute walk from the terminal.

The hotel shuttle was nowhere to be found when we got there so we had to walk (with all our luggage) to the hotel. Just imagine carrying your luggage up and down stairs! I was so envious of the Wynn, the Venetian, etc. whose shuttle buses were right there on the terminal.

We spent about 10 minutes figuring out where the hotel lobby was. The hotel and casinos in Vegas and Atlantic City all have the casino downstairs and the rooms upstairs but I guess this was one of the old school hotels hence the layout. The actual hotel was located around the corner and nobody from the casino can tell us where the hotel was. Apparently, English is not as common here as it was in Hong Kong.

The hotel was far from "the strip" and we had to go back to the ferry terminal to ride the shuttle buses to the other hotels.

The casino at the hotel was a little too small and made me claustrophobic.

The rooms are clean and we had a nice view of the hills. The room also had a safe and the lighting was decent. We had requested for a room in the higher floors and a queen bed and they gave us a room in the higher floors with two twin beds. I asked them if they had a room with a double/queen bed (I wouldn't mind if it was in the lower floors) but the front desk said that the rooms with double/queen beds are smoking rooms only. I DON'T SEE THE POINT IN THAT.

Next time, we will book at the hotels on "the strip" even if it was just for one night.

Went to Macau on 2/1/08, and stayed one night at Casa Real. Hotel is near the Macau Ferry Terminal,and Fisherman's Wharf.
There is also a bus stop within walking distance that has buses that goes to attractions in Macau. The hotel itself has shuttle bus to the border gate, and the ferry terminal at every 1/2hr interval. A little suggestion is if you want to go to other hotels like The Venetian, u can take the free shuttle from casa real to the border gate where there are all the free shuttle buses to other hotels. This way, you can save on the cab fare/bus fare! (:

Overall, my stay was very pleasant. We were given an early check in at 10am, and the front office was very polite and helpful. They could communicate fluently in English. The room is well maintained, and had the basic neccessities, such as toothbrushes etc. The only disappointing fact was the our room did not have a great view of outside.

Breakfast was great! Although food variety was average intercontinental style, but the service is excellent.

we stayed at this hotel for two days, three nights. booked triple bed room with my mom and sister. upon check in we got complimentary drinks so its nice specially when u are thirsty from your trip. we got a corner end room which has a window only to find out that the view is the windows of other rooms. theres a cable on tv only to find out only one english channel. breakfast has variety of choices so its nice. it is close to fishermans wharf, casinos and restaurants. the hotel has free shuttle service to and from ferry terminal-hotel-mainland boundery so u can just hop in to one free shuttle bus to another to go to one hotel to another or one location to another at no cost. too bad no shuttle from airport to hotel maybe they target more local people than foreign tourist. nice to see Filipino staffs there who are very accomodating and friendly. the cafe/bar serves affordable foods which is a must to try. indoor pool is warm so u never get cold or chill. i say its ok hotel but next time i try new hotels.

We booked direct at the hotel website 2months earlier for a standard room for HKD2080 (3 nights thur to sun). Upon check-in we requested for 1 King Bed & they actually upgraded us to a Deluxe Room with free internet access. Room was nice, clean & comfortable with a mini kitchen top. Free Shuttle bus to/from Ferry Terminal & Border. They gladly allowed late check-out until 2pm. 5mins to Yaohan shopping center, 10mins to Fisherman's Wharf/Sands. Good location & you can catch a public bus easily nearby. Photos (taken with flash) looks a bit old but the actual was not.
