Macau Venetian

Have always thought of visiting Venice again.

Macau venetian is like a temporary solution! :D

It's right opposite Holiday Inn/Conrad/Sheraton!

There's a covered erm, "passageway" from Sands Cotai Central to Venetian.

They call it a passageway, but i think that's an understatement.

The passageway is full of DFS and displays pertaining to HK celebrities etc, not just a passageway.

If the weather is good, you can simply cross a traffic light to get there.

That was exactly what we did cos it was late evening and the weather is so cooling!

Plus, the view of the venetian from Holiday Inn is breathtaking.

Tried Pizza Pizza at the 'food court' of Venetian.

Food is not bad! But service is super bad and slowwwwww.

Took half hour for my vongole to come! :(

The vongole is surprisingly good though.
It's the dry, cheesy type. But serving is generous, especially the clams.

Another eatery we tried.

There was a godiva event that week, with a Godiva chocolate cage!

Chocolate rabbits.

Macau Holiday Inn Cotai

The morning after rushing out my assignment.

Woke up at 5plus to pack my luggage! :`(

Had decided to go to Macau after booking our tickets to Hong Kong, so we bought tickets at the airport and transferred directly to the ferry at Sky Pier. Sky Pier is connected to HKIA, so we didn't need to go through the customs. Also, they would transfer our luggage from the plane to the ferry, how convenient!

Arrived at about 3pm+.

Bought tickets for 5:20pm via Cotaijet ferry.

So we had some a lot of time to kill in the meanwhile.

OOTD :)

Went mannings (HK version of Guardian!) & found these uber sweet me-to-you chocolates :)

There's awfully chocolate cookies too!

Tried the Hong Kong food at the airport eatery.

All items come with free tea. 

About SGD7 each 'set'.

Chose to disembark at Taipa ferry terminal instead of the macau outer harbour terminal cos we're staying at Holiday Inn which is at the cotai strip area (nearer to Taipa).

I believe most, if not all, of the 4/5* hotels have shuttle services to/fro the ferry terminal. So we simply hopped on to Conrad's bus right after we came out of the ferry terminal.

FYI, Holiday Inn, Conrad and Sheraton share the same development/strip/area/porch/shuttle bus service.
The entire stretch is called the Sands Cotai Central.

Got free upgrade to deluxe suite whee~

Here's the living room area.

Love the floral sofa.
Wanna have something similar for my home next time!

There were welcome chocolates!

In bronze, silver and gold.

List of amenities available in the room. and erm, pricing of drinks/snacks.

Huge bedroom with gorgeous view of Crown & the City of Dreams.

There was a rose for me! ^^

2 choices of pillows available, firm & soft. 

I think the firm one is good!

Bathroom is like a mini 3-bedroom itself, lol.

There's a "walk-in wardrobe" on the left, with full-length mirror!

Toiletries available if you're not too fussy.

The shampoo is of ginger and lavender or something. Feels abit cooling after wash, like mint.

With Venetian right across the street, we walked over as soon as we were done settling our luggage.
