Macau Galaxy Hotel's Grand Resort Deck: A Water Park Worth Visiting Twice

This summer, staying at the Macau Galaxy Hotel was the best decision ever! The 750,000-square-foot "Grand Resort Deck" is a true water paradise. Although I got two shades darker, the happiness level was off the charts! 🏨 Family-Friendly Service Details From the moment we checked in, we felt the hotel’s sincerity! Staff proactively helped with the stroller and even gifted our baby a special "sun hat + little sandals." Back in the room, we found our wet swimsuits neatly folded on dry towels, and the baby crib was already set up with adorable cartoon sheets. As a detail-oriented person, I was completely won over! 🌊 Must-Try Water Attractions ✅ World’s Longest 575-Meter Skytop Adventure Rapids: Rent a transparent float (50 MOP/hour) and drift through tropical plant tunnels and artificial caves. Don’t forget to capture the splashy moments at the "waterfall zone"! ✅ 15-Meter High Thrill Slide: Perfect for kids aged 6 and above. The double inflatable raft spirals down from a high altitude, with screams echoing throughout the park! ✅ Kids-Only Aquatic Zone: A shallow pool with mini slides and a spraying dinosaur. The water is kept at a constant 30°C, so even 1-year-olds can enjoy splashing around! ❌ Caution: The "Spiral Slide" is too intense for kids under 4. Parents can instead try the "Daring Roller Coaster" nearby for a thrilling speed experience. 📸 Photo Tips for Stunning Shots 📍 Skytop Glass Pool: At 10 AM, sunlight hits at the perfect angle. Lie by the pool edge to capture a "floating in the blue sky" vibe. Use portrait mode to blur the background for added effect. 📍 Artificial White Sand Beach: After 4 PM, the sunlight softens. Use a float as a prop to create "island getaway" vibes. Shots of your baby digging in the sand are irresistibly heartwarming! ⚠️ Sun Protection Lessons Learned ✅ Physical Sunscreen > Chemical Sunscreen: Dress your baby in a full-body UV swimsuit and sun hat. Parents should wear long-sleeve rash guards (available in the park for 380 MOP, but bringing your own is recommended). ✅ Reapplication Routine: Reapply kids’ sunscreen spray every hour (La Roche-Posay B5 series is recommended). Always reapply after finishing the rapids. ✅ After-Sun Care: The hotel’s spa offers free aloe vera gel treatments. Be sure to apply a thick layer for recovery that evening. 🍴 Food and Drink Recommendations Try the "Grand Resort Deck Food Truck" for coconut smoothies (45 MOP/cup) and kids’ burger meals (68 MOP/set, includes cartoon-shaped fries). Avoid peak noon hours and opt for the "outdoor seating by the waterfall" for a breezy and relaxing lunch experience. 💡 Extended Stay Tips Galaxy members can enjoy "fast-track access" to popular attractions during extended stays, skipping the lines! With our room card, we got to experience the "VIP exclusive beach loungers" for free, complete with staff offering chilled towels and fruit platters. The luxury experience was top-notch! Conclusion: While getting tanned is inevitable, the "one-stop family water adventure" at Macau Galaxy is absolutely worth it! From the variety of facilities to the impeccable service, everything was flawless. We’ve already promised our baby to come back next summer for more fun. Just remember to gear up for sun protection and enjoy the sunshine and waves to the fullest!
