Hong Kong Ocean Park Marriott Hotel | OPM Halloween X Oktoberfest X Pool Party

Experience: The atmosphere was good in the later half, but some of the music felt a bit old school. Also, the tokens they give out can only be redeemed for beer or soda.

Thankfully, maybe it's Marriott's first time doing this and they lacked experience? The situation on-site was quite chaotic, especially regarding the food. We entered at 6 PM and didn't get food until 7:45 PM, and the portions were quite small, not enough to fill you up. Also, the sound system wasn't sufficient. To have a disco vibe, the volume needs to be loud enough that you can't chat, but the volume was so low I could hear the conversation at the next table. Luckily, all the staff were very nice, humorous, and polite. Their service attitude really made up for it; otherwise, I definitely would have been annoyed.

The DJ didn't hype up the crowd, there was no interaction with the audience at all. It was like they were just playing music for themselves. The venue was also relatively small.
