    Located on Batu Ferringhi, the Shangri-la Resort is a luxurious resort that exudes warmth, style and class in a relaxed and casual manner. It has extensively lush gardens and three swimming pools, and fun activities for the kids. It is also popular with honeymooners.

    During our last stay, we were given a room on the ground floor (36 sq meters?) with added space for the kids and all their stuff. Instead of a balcony, the sliding doors opened out directly into the garden and easy access to the pool nearby. When we checked in, we felt a bit embarrased as we had brought along the children's stuffed toys, their pillows and bolsters, towels, 10 pairs of sandals and shoes, and their swimming gear, but the staff didn't bat an eye-lid and greeted us warmly.

    There are three pools here - one that is long and straight for serious lap swimmers, one free form pool, and one more for the kids, with its own tree house! My kids really enjoyed spending time here and made a lot of new friends.

    The buffet breakfast tends to get crowded, but the service is good, and the staff remain patient and friendly. Most of the staff have worked there for a long time and know how to pamper their guests very well.

    The resort has been closed from November 2004 for 18-24 months, for extensive renovations but while waiting for the reopening, you may wish to try their sister resort next door, Shangri-la Golden Sands, or the Shangri-La Hotel located right in Penang town.

    It has a website with lovely photos at http://www.srisayangresort.com but lodger beware. Our stay featured:
    1. Rattan sofas with all four legs (2 broken).
    2. Bed that broke when my pregnant cousin sat on it.
    3. Rotten moldy bathroom doors (see photo).
    4. Threadbare towels that felt like sandpaper on skin.
    5. Flooding bathrooms.

    We made the mistake of paying for 2 nights upfront and had to pay a cancellation charge of RM50 for cancelling after one night. But we weren't the only ones at the checkout queue cancelling.

    "Free parking space" which costs RM3 per day.

    Stayed here for a week for a corporate training program.

    The rooms are furnished with living room and bedrooms. So ideal for family vacation and stay if you prefer lower budget than staying in an international hotel.

    There is a pool and free parking.

    Location is opposite Rasa Sayang Resort and Golden Sands Hotel across the road. So you have to cross the road to get to the beach.

    This is a very very old hotel...one of the first - I have stayed there since I was 8 years old....so it is such a grand old dame!!! Nevertheless the hotel is very pleasant, it is sea frontage, and has a Malay Minangkabau village architecture. It has also a very looked after and luscious garden with an interesting shape pool. Actually one of the pool shapes look like the S of the Shangril la hotel logo - the parent company. It also own the hotel next door - Golden sands and another hotel in the city , Shangrila Hotel.

    The name Rasa Sayang - feel loved simply spells the hospitality.

    At night there is a huge nightmarket outisde the hotel...and also if you are not keen in hotel food, there are lots of stall foods, proper restaurants that you can walk to.

    See my other post on this dreadful place. This is the picture of the bed that broke.

    I forgot to mention that you have to pay RM 20 for utensils in your service apartment, otherwise you only get the bare essentials (towels and a small bar of soap).

    Went to the "new" Rasa Sayang Hotel since the renovation was completed recently.

    It has changed into a more selective and quieter spa and "do little" resort. The front entrance has moved. The number of swimming pools decreased. Oh well, change is inevitable.

    The room rates are astrononical now starting with promotion rate of RM800 and above. But if you can afford, it is still a choice place to stay at Batu Ferringhi. But I would opt for the Golden Sands.

  • very ideal place especially if u r after food :p

    it's in the middle of Komtar, connecting is a link to the Shopping Centre.

    If u walk out in the day behind the Hotel, cross the road n walk for 2 mins , there r alot of coffeeshop. Good food everywhere!!

    At night, the taxi to Kinta Lane or Kimberly n the other streets such as chinatown etc r few RM. To Batu Ferringh, will cost RM25 per trip

    they have great view, the penang bridge is visible n since there view has the laid back shop houses which creates a nice pictureque side of the city.

    Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa: Good 5 Star Hotel    Check Rates

  • An excellent 5 star hotel.

    The staff were attentive and there when we needed them without being intrusive.

    Whikst not being an opulent 5 star hotel, it is still 5 star and we had no complaints.

    There are two wings to the hotel - the Garden Wing and a new wing (not sure what it is called).

    The new wing is more expensive to stay at and we were quietly advised that if we were not staying in a suite (lucky us) in the Garden Wing, it really was worth paying the extra for the new wing.

    The hotel restaurants does a fantastic buffet dinner in the evenings with a huge selection of food from all over the world.

    This hotel was more expensive than the others in the neighbourhood but it is of far superior quality.

    The hotel is right on the beach. Our room had fllor to ceiling windows overlooking the beach and the waves coming in. If we were on our balcony during the day, we could watch the full range of water sports right there in front of us on the beach.

  • I remember staying at this hotel as a child for a week. We were touring Malaysia and my father got called away to Hawaii for a business emergency leaving my mother, me and my two sisters at this resort for the week. I think we spent most of the time in the pool. I remember them having lots of tropical trees around the pool. Looking back at the little rating book I kept as a child- I gave the hotel 4 out of 5 stars.

    The hotel was recently renovated (2006 I believe) and there are now 3 swimming pools. There is a new garden wing where the rooms are supposedly larger.
