Penang's Best Buffet Breakfast
Excellent 4 night stay at this superbly situated hotel. Right on the beach and a simply stroll to the night market.
It has all the activities you'll require to have a great holiday eg, 2 hours of happy hour.
The breakfast buffet is one of the best you can have. It incorporates the best of eastern and western cusine. If you can have everything on the buffet then I'll take my hat off to you.
- Opinion of Price: more expensive than average

Lovely hotel
I would recommend this hotel to you as it was situated virtually on Ferringhi beach. It was comfortable and very clean. As sunset approached, everyone seemed to appear to watch the stunning sky. It is a lasting memory I will always have of Penang. Food good and cocktails lovely.
Unique Quality: Nice situation and lovely views.

One Of Penang's Pearls
Standing on the prime beachfront of Batu Feringgi, the Golden Sands Resort (Shangri-La chain) is the beautiful beach resort of English & Portuguese architecture, where you may enjoy the same facilities at neighbouring "sister" Rasa Sayang Hotel.
Great furnished and feeling comfortable our sea facing AC room had its own balcony affording a splendid view of the sea; 24-hour service & in-house movies, safe, IDD-phone, TV/Cable - radio, minibar (on request), fridge, hairdryer, coffee and tea making facilities
Unique Quality: King room connects to twin, so the interconnecting rooms made it easy to wake up the model early in the morning for make-up and hair-doings. To work under these circumstances was a real pleasure. I enjoyed the luxury and do hope to return to this resort place ...

Best Batu Ferringhi Hotel
4 star hotel, one of the more mature on Ferringhi beach, with the best stretch of white beaches in Penang. Service only to be compared by its sister hotel next door, Rasa Sayang= both owned by the Shangri-La group.
Unique Quality: Fantastic pool, great views from your sun lounger plus all sorts of activities inclyding jet skis, para sailing, donkey rides, taichi, massages etc.

Hotel on the beach
I would guess this hotel is about 15 years old but it has been maintained to a high standard. The rooms either face the sea or at the back have a view of the hills and the commercial view of Feringgi Beach, which is OK as well.
The hotel is well equipped and suitable for families. The gardens with their pools and bars face directly on to the beach where there are ski boats etc for hire.
If you like you hotels to be remote and quiet, then this is not for you, but I enjoyed the stay very much.

Family hotel
We stayed at the Golden sands which is part of the Shangri-La Hotels Group.
The hotel has all of the usual amenities, swimming pool, bars, restaurants and so on. Our room was adequate but none too large, it would have been more comfortable had it been 50% bigger. Some of the rooms are affected by noise from the local mosque at certain times of day although ours wasn't.
The hotel is very geared up for families complete with a childrens activity club.
Unique Quality: The Rasa Sayang which is next door is in the same ownership as is the Shangri-La in Georgetown. All guests were issued with a card which enabled you to use the facilities of the other hotels and for payment to be billed to the hotel where you were staying.
If I went again I would elect to stay at the Rasa Sayang as it seemed much more peaceful.

Re: Shangri-La Golden Sands vs Park Royal in Penang
If ya just looking for a "better pool " .. I would have to say the ParkRoyal
As for location .. the ParkRoyal is the start of the night street stalls and extends all the way down to the Golden Sands
Ya central to the "local restruants" etc etc
BUT .. if you are looking for great service and very friendly and helpful staff ... neither hotel will provide this
Casuarina Beach Resort .. has not got a great pool but the service and staff are the best .. beeb going there every year for the past 10 years ..at this hotel and prior had tried the rest
Have a great holiday
