For the first decade of its operation, I didn't quite warm up to this hotel, spending a fair number of nights at Conrad/HI/SR/Sheraton instead. With the change to Londoner, the Cotai Central development has pretty much lost all interest in Bonvoy elites. The GH is a great alternative! As Kirk said above, the breakfast in the restaurant is outstanding (my SO raves about the lobster congee), although IME only offered to Globs on dates with low occupancy -- I've also been told that breakfast is available at the lounge only. The lounge is quite pleasant on dates with low-medium occupancy, but can become pretty hectic on Saturday nights. What I find a bit creepy is that I'm greeted by name every time I enter -- I assume there's a camera in the elevator and someone whispers my name into the staff member's earpiece? The suites are pleasant enough, and certainly the midweek rates in the MOP 900-1200 range make this place one of the best value Hyatts in the world. And on busy days, it's an excellent place to redeem those Cat 1-4 certs that are getting more and more difficult to use. To be honest, though, my absolute favorite feature is the fact that the hotel is attached to the Light Rail, which means that I can avoid cumbersome shuttle buses and taxis and get to MFM or YFT in minutes.
