Very late to this thread
but if your son and future wife(or anyone else) are still considering Hong Kong
here is a nice resort hotel.
http://www.sino-hotels.com/Hong_Kong...n/default.aspx

The site is slow to load.

I`ve been there but not stayed,prefer the hustle and bustle of Kowloon,normally stay at either
Marco Polo Hong Kong,by the harbour or
the Intercontinental(formerly the Regent).

The Gold Coast site is fairly accurate,only thing I`d say is it`s more like 45 minutes to Kowloon rather than the 30 minutes they claim.
There is a bus to take you there(think free but could be wrong wouldn`t be expensive anyway),finishes about 11.00PM though,taxi after that time.

IMO a good choice for a couple(or for a relaxing singles holiday),lovely grounds, swimming pool,nice beach,good facilities.
Friends of mine stay there regularly,if you don`t mind the (simple) trip into Hong Kong central,
it`s a lovely place and better value(you`ve got to shop around for prices on the place,think my friends pay about £50/60 a night) than where
I stay.

If I was with a girl I`d probably stay there,
alone I`d choose my normal Kowloon spots.
