I had a brief visit to Makassar and chose Novotel Grand Shayla as my base for the weekend. The hotel organized everything for me from they picked me up in the airport until they safely brought me back to my flight, and it was an incredibly smooth visit.
I had booked an executive room, but upon arrival in the hotel, I was awarded with an upgrade to an even bigger room - on a high and quiet floor, just as I had wished for. Mercy and her collegues at front desk were very helpful before and during my stay.
It was a short stay, and I never took advantage of the breakfast or the executive lounge - but I enjoyed dinner in the restaurant and their signature drink at the bar - and both were great. I also had a solid workout in the new and modern gym. I did not try the pool, but it looked great.
The hotel is walking distance to the Mandala monument and port, and on your way to the port you pass an incredible seafood restaurant - Rumah Makan Nelayan. Make sure to check it out.
This was only a short visit but I hope to be back soon!
