Yup, it’s possible. It took me 30min to find my room. LOL Sheradon Cotai has 4001 rooms. Sufficed to say that I was bewildered by this 5 star hotel experience. Welcome to Cotai, Macau!
Amazingly HUGE!!! Cotai was CRAZY. It was endless hotels linked with neverending shopping, casinos and entertainment. There’s not much to pick on with a 5 star hotel of this scale. Here’s my highlights:
- Kungfu Panda breakfast *denied 🙁
- Dreamworks characters (love)
- Got lost looking for my room.
Okay, the kungfu panda breakfast was PACKED! I did not book in advance as this was a spontaneous trip 🙁 So yes, I was denied (cry). I want kungfu panda dimsum sooooo bad.
In my distress, I found other dreamworks characters. It was a great pick me up / feel better moment. Ooooo and they have kungfu panda class too. Too bad that I’m 20 years above their age limit. I made a point to tweet to Sheraton “demanding” to know why there’s an age limit to the Kungfu panda class. I mean, that was out right ageism / discrimination. Sheraton has not replied back.
Yes, this is review. Here’s the photos of the standard double room. It is a 5 star hotel. 300+ count satin weave cotton sheet was a standard, fluffy cotton robes, loads of amenities and a portable device with traveling tips. Moderate, consistant water pressure shower. I mention water pressure because I’ve experienced hell shower from Westin hotel. Fab story for another time LOL
Sheraton is a lot less opulent compared to its neighbours – Venetian and Parisian. The decoration here is still pretty continental and not over the top.
Finally, what’a little hotel review without some of my classic drama? I got lost wahahaha. Here is a short video of me “finding my room”. You will see from my video just how crazy the facilities was in this hotel.
Tips
- Buses are for FREE. Courtesy of a bunch of mega hotels in Cotai. Watch out for hotel sponsored buses for free round the town transport.
- Book for Kungfu panda breakfast in advance to avoid disappointment like me.
- Guests enjoy a bunch of discount with various stores, restaurants and spa. Check the leaflet in the room for details.
- Dreamworks characters have SCHEDULE. Check their meet and greet time.
- Bottled water is unlimited and FREE of charge. Grab one before going out to sight see. Bottled water sells for around USD3 in the touristy areas.
- If you’re dying for some tea and don’t want to fork out USD10, you can sit down to gamble a bit (even the USD0.01 machines). Tea and coffee is free for all who gambles. *LOL*

Well, I´ve never been to Sheradon Cotai and no I can´t believe ithas 4001 rooms! Wow! I loved living in Macau and its grown since I left a few years ago.
The development of that Cotai stretch is crazy indeed.
Hey, this looks like so much fun! I would love to do this some time but I’m worried it might be too pricey! ????
The meet and greet is free for all. No need to be a hotel guest to enjoy that ????
yussss! dream come true! do they do signatures just like disney characters do? 😀
Hm… Good question. I didn’t see anyone with the autograph book. I guess it’s won’t hurt to ask? ????
Kung fu panda breakfast sounds interesting and as always, wonderful pictures
Aw, thanks, Sangeetha! xox
You are most welcome Joyce
Oh man, if I went to this hotel, I’ve probably never leave the premises. LMAO that you tweeted to the Sheraton about ageism re: Kungfu Panda class! 😆
You look so bewildered wandering around that complex! I agree with you – gambling is depressing! That’s why Las Vegas and Macau do not hold much appeal to me. I love shopping but I’d rather go elsewhere without so much tackiness!
Sheraton still hasn’t replied to me *LOL* clearly they didn’t take me too seriously wahahah
BEWILDERED! That’s the word! I was so speechless. Wasn’t sure why I was getting depressed. Ja, I feel the same way about gambling. I feel depressed looking at other people gambling. I love shopping at small streets when the weather is good 🙂
Shame about the breakfast Joyce. I stayed at the Venetian and enjoyed that. Sheraton looks good as well.

Ja, it’s so sad. O well. I saw your post now. Didn’t find the room’s photo. Have you uploaded those? Will be so interesting to see.
No I didn’t as I only took one and it wasn’t that good. Sorry!!
That Kunfu Panda breakfast looks so tasty! And the hotel dreamy… 🙂
Yes indeed 😀 Thank you for dropping by Viivi 😉
