One of the best hotels in the world at any price”
The Wynn Palace is simple put, my favorite hotel in the world and I’ve been to the best of the best. The Decour, the ambience, The cleanliness, the peace and serenity is far superior to most other five star rated hotels. The staff is exceptional in taking care of customer needs from the general manager to the housekeeping staff. Even the smallest insignificant detail is not overlooked. I have brought friends with me on my several stays and they two were blown away at this incredible property and the staff. The bus sa even the smallest insignificant detail is not overlooked. I have brought friends with me on my several stays and they two were blown away at this incredible property and the staff. The food in the Fontana buffet rivals most 5 star restaurants. When Steve Wynn designed the Wynn Palace. He took the best of all his other properties and rolled it into one. Bellagio water show fountains, a gondola ride accessing the property from the street. Too much more to list!!

Exceptional great, really giving the majestic feeling of a royalty!”
The staff was very good and accomodating, even try their very best to reserve the Fontana dinner buffet for us despite full house. The dinner buffet was very nice and worthwhile, although only given 2 hours to feast, but the dishes and the seafood are superb. The hotel is very clean and spacious, with automated binds and lights with ipad control. The view outside the hotel which is the musical fountain was definitely worth to watch. Hotel guest also have priority in having the cable car ride (the best was unlimited times!!). The whole hotel makes you feel like royalty, majestic and grand. We definitely will come again.

Don't think twice”
This was the second time we stayed at Wynn Palace and I can guarantee that the staff always go above and beyond the expectations. I would like to commend the housekeeping team ( thanks, Longxia!), the reservation/reception team and the Fontana team (special mention to May who made our breakfast experience extra special ). The staff at Wynn Palace are always very courteous and all-smiles with ready-to-do attitude. I visited quite a few hotels during my stays in Macau and elsewhere in the world and I have not seen any other hotel whose staff are as remarkable as Wynn Palace's. I started the review with praising the hotel staff -they really set the bar quite high. Our room was upgraded to the executive suite by the kind (and cute!) lady at the reservation desk. It was a big room for two, with your very own sofa! Imagine, we decided to cancel some side-trips just so we can fully enjoy the luxuriously designed room! You will never regret booking this hotel. It was that exceptional!

splendid. never been better. BUT-”
we stayed at the room where we are allowed to watch the fountain show in the room. every staff was kind and helpful. very fluent in english (except for the staffs at the casino- but they were kind enuf tho :D) the room was very beautiful, lobby was adorable. shuttle bus helped us move around the city. BUT- there was one problem- no convenience store around the hotel, no place to buy anything after 10PM. you should buy what you need from outside before coming back to the hotel. another problem: way to spacious so it took long time to move around in this hotel haha.. can it be a problem? yes- you should experience. tough to locate myself :''( i literally got lost. lol. anyways. great experience. nice view. loved the sky cab. see you again hopefully!

Perfect and memorable experience ”
I have stayed in Wynn palace for 2 nights to celebrate my baby twins birthday. We are amazed by the impeccable hospitality of the hotel. They prepared two interconnecting rooms for us and baby stuffs for my twins, including the cribs, baby bath tubs, sterilizer, baby shower kits, and birthday cake! They even made birthday decoration at room. It is the best ever hotel service I have experienced in Macau. The breakfast is terrific as well with abundant choice of bakery and pastry. The fountain performance at night was wonderful. And the pool is lovely. If you visit Macau with kids, you must stay in Wynn palace!

One of the Best”
My original plan was to stay at Venetian but after I saw photos of Wynn Palace including the guest room, I've decided immediately that I want to spend the night here. I want to celebrate my birthday here and I was surprised when I was given a room upgrade to the Fountain Queen Suite. The complimentary birthday cake is also yummy and the food is delicious. Even my mom enjoyed the entire experience with Wynn Palace. Although I left my pink bluetooth headphone and memory card inside the room, that still didn't ruin my overall experience. I would definitely recommend this. I also want to take this opportunity to commend Queenie from the VIP Registration and Paul from the Bell Service who assisted us with a smile. They were courteous the entire time.

Great service and beautiful hotel”
Beautiful hotel with great staff service. The staffs always made sure you were comfortable and assisted you. The only thing I would hope is the shuttle buses going from 1 place to another, sometimes when the distance is pretty near, it would take 30 to 45 mins to reach back to your hotel. The dancing fountain and cable car are plus points.
