The location was good you have 1-2 eateries on the side and if you walk behind you might fine 1-2 cafés and keels . The room looked exactly as it shown but room size is very small. The staff in might there is guy at reception who was not ready to understand anything at all . You don’t have much food option in the hotel they just have one menu for the whole day which is their breakfast buffet . I would suggest go outside to eat because it’s not worth the money what they have in menu . The cleaning staff and everyone was very nice and helpful . The hotel is under construction on most of the floors so got a high floor sea facing room . All rooms are seafaring in this hotel so don’t pay extra for it. Enjoy

My extensive experience with high-quality hotels in numerous countries meant I had no particular expectations upon arrival. It is not my custom to compose reviews, as my primary objective is to enjoy my stay. Nevertheless, I was most agreeably surprised by the Hotel Nuwa in City of Dreams. The courteous personnel and management demonstrated remarkable attentiveness in catering to my every requirement. A notably valuable amenity is the provision of a personal butler, designed for guests desiring an indulgent experience.
