I have stayed at many Riu resorts including the sister properties of the Macao and just overlooked this hotel in the past. My husband and I had 4 days to do a quick getaway and this was available. I was so pleasantly surprised by the staff, service, and overall feel of the resort. It is older but built with marble... More

Second time at Macao and we had a great vacation. The hotel is older, but we love the property with lush gardens, tons of palms, and a great staff (they are always cleaning and working incredibly hard).

The Beach is amazing and I forgot just how amazing it is. Again I traveled with the family, 1 year old twins, Mom, Brother's family... More
