Macau hotel reviews
By Dorothy Bangayan

AS PART of a familiarization tour hosted by Macau Government Tourism last September, we went on a four-day hotel-hopping spree.

We hopped too much that all of the hotels started to look the same, the managers sound the same, and even the price sheets all came in a dizzy blur.

Sun.Star Network Online's coverage of the Sinulog 2008 Festival

Then of course, there were some momentary jolts to fantasy when greeted by the hotel giants Wynn Macau, Star World, and Venetia. All in all, these hotels are all recommendable and up to par.

Here is the dish on the hotels we hopped. Take not that prices listed is to give you a general idea of the range. They may change without notice. They also vary depending on season.
