Those arriving at about 10am had to even queue inside of the restaurant. They clearly need to open up multiple breakfast venues. When seated the selection was really great, a very high quality Asian buffet of western/Chinese/Indian foods. At check-in, we were "rescued" from the massive queues downstairs (after asking about status) to be escorted to the second floor lounge where we were checked-in fairly smoothly. In my case the 4pm late check-out was honoured. As an Ambassador they upgraded me to a Fantastic Suite without needing an SNA, which had a really lovely view of the Parisian and the water park. We were very happy with that. The pool being closed at no notice was very disappointing, and the "oh you can use the pool at another hotel" wasn't really a good solution when you arrive in swimming costumes with kids. Instead we dressed back up and went to the super fun zone, which has a 20% discount for hotel guests and was a lot of fun. I didn't try the offered Happy Hour 6-8pm. Did express check-out as there was another queue!

We will just consider it along with all the other Marriott hotels in the area based on price/rooms. I feel this one benefits from being brand new, but I'm not sure how they will deal with things like breakfast without clearer signs, more tables, or just opening up other venues. And this was a public holiday in HK/Macau, but not in the Mainland, so there were still spare rooms.
