Grand Coloane Resort

Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Grand Coloane Resort – I mean, it’s tucked away on this winding stretch of Estrada de Hac Sa that feels like you’re driving to nowhere. But you know what? That’s actually the whole point. This place sits right where Coloane still feels like the sleepy fishing village it used to be, before all the casino madness took over the main peninsula.

The resort itself is this sprawling complex that somehow manages to feel both grand and laid-back at the same time. I stayed here during shoulder season (smart move, by the way – summer gets absolutely sweltering), and the grounds were peaceful without being eerily empty. What really got me was how they’ve preserved these little pockets of old Macau charm – there’s this courtyard area where you can actually hear the waves from Hac Sa Beach, which is literally a two-minute walk away. And let me tell you, after spending days in the humidity of central Macau, that black sand beach becomes your best friend. The locals don’t really swim there much, but it’s perfect for evening walks when the tour groups have headed back to their hotels.

The rooms are solid – I had one of the garden view ones, and while “garden view” sometimes means “parking lot view” at other places, here you actually get these lush tropical plantings that make you forget you’re on a small island. The AC works like a dream (crucial in Macau), and the bathroom setup is one of those deep soaking tubs that you’ll actually use. Check-in was smooth, though if you’re arriving by taxi, make sure your driver knows exactly where he’s going – some of the older guys still get confused by the address since this area has developed so much in recent years. There’s plenty of parking if you’re brave enough to rent a car in Macau (I’m not). The only minor thing is that room service can be slow during peak dinner hours, but honestly, you’re better off wandering down to the village anyway. There’s this little Portuguese place about ten minutes away that serves the best African chicken I’ve had outside of Lisbon – totally worth the walk, and the staff can point you in the right direction.

What really sets this place apart is the location, though. You’re close enough to hop on the light rail and be at the Venetian in twenty minutes, but far enough away that you can actually sleep at night without hearing slot machines. The pool area gets some families during weekends, but it’s never chaos – more like a gentle hum of activity. I spent most mornings there with coffee, watching the maintenance guys tend to the grounds with this methodical care that you don’t see at the bigger casino resorts. It’s that attention to detail that makes the 8.5 rating make sense – not flashy perfect, but genuinely comfortable in a way that makes you want to extend your stay.

• Carlos from Mexico (9/10)

  Very nice staff, comfortable rooms , nice breakfast. Really good value for money.

• Queenie from Australia (8/10)

  Check in was smooth. Staff were friendly and helpful. We booked a connected room, both rooms were clean and spacious with large courtyard. The view from the room courtyard was beautiful overlooking the pools area if pools were not under renovation. The shuttle bus service provided by the hotel really faciliated our travel between the hotel and the main part of Macau. There was a beach close by and there were quite a lot of areas to explore within the hotel. Overall, a pleasant stay.
