Harbour Bay Hotel December 2018 Review

We decided to stay at Harbour Bay Hotel because of its location specially if you're going to rely on the MTR, it's a couple of walk away from East Tsim Sha Tsui station N5 and MTR exits of N1-N3. It's also very near Holiday Inn Golden Mile Hong Kong so if you use the Airport Express, you can ride the Complimentary Airport Express Shuttle Bus Service K3(To Tsim Sha Tsui Mody Road) and stop at Stop 1: Holiday Inn Golden Mile Hong Kong. Service hours 06:15 - 23:00 (every 15 minutes).

If you like shopping it's also a few steps from K11 art mall, it's not a crowded mall and it's a nice place to relax and unwind.

We checked in early and amenities includes FREE WIFI, FREE Handy Phone which you can use for local calls and internet, it's very useful for maps and you can take it anywhere you don't have to buy Prepaid SIM for HK.

The room is okay, the sink is outside, there's no bidet hose in the toilet so if you're not used to wiping with a tissue it's going to be a problem. There's only one sliding door for the shower and the toilet, so if you are using the shower the toilet is open and vice-versa. The big positive for this hotel is the location, the negative is there are a few spot that are not clean like the curtains which a bit dusty and some part of the wall but it's manageable.

The weather was so cold specially early in the morning that we have to use the hotel's small personal heater.

HK Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle under renovation

We visited Hong Kong Disneyland this December and it was cold. Even though this Disney is small compared to other Disneyland around the world, the kids were very happy. The theme is very Christmasy, they even have snow in some parts of the park.

I use Klook for discounted tickets, it was very easy to use just show the QR Code no more lining up to pay for tickets. I also bought their Lunch Set + Dinner Set + Snack Meal Vouchers on Klook, and it was worth it. Here's what's included in the voucher:

1 Lunch Meal + soft drink worth HK$99-149 at any Signature or Deluxe Restaurant you need to redeem it before 4:00 PM.

1 Dinner Combo Meal + soft drink worth HK$99-149 at any Signature or Deluxe Restaurant you can redeem it after 4:30PM and until 30 minutes before the restaurant closes.

Snack choices are frozen lollipop or popcorn at outdoor vending carts throughout the Park.


Here are the restaurant that you can choose:

Signature Restaurants

- Starliner Diner (Tomorrowland)
- Comet Cafe (Tomorrowland)
- Clopin's Festival of Foods (Fantasyland)
- Tahitian Terrace (Adventureland)

Deluxe Restaurant

- Royal Banquet Hall (Fantasyland)
- Explorer's Club Restaurant (Mystic Point)

The ticket price on Klook was Php 3,613 per person for adult (12-64) Php 2,713 for children (3-11yo) and only Php 679 for senior (65+). The Lunch Set + Dinner Set + Snack voucher is Php 1,487 for adult and Child Meal Set Coupon is Php 604. I used a discount code for the total bill. You need to buy online since original price is very expensive HK$235 for the 3-in-1 Park Meal Voucher.

Our overall experience were great but there are also disappointments, like there's no Castle it's under construction, in fact if you're planning to visit now I would rather delay it because there are a lot of construction. There are also no fireworks. When we visited the Jungle River Cruise was also closed. The kids love the "It's a small world" ride, even though the dolls look a little creepy. The Mystic Manor is also an awesome ride, a little scary for small kids.
