Penang Hotels, Ferringgi Beach Hotels

Great place to relax with very good facilities and very attentive and helpful staff. Very relaxing but also with good access to a variety of restaurants and eating options in the area. Shuttle bus and local bus access to Georgetown right from the door. Relatively quiet during Ramadan, which was good.

Having stayed in the sister hotel 'Bayview Hotel' in Georgetown on a previous trip choosing this place was a no brainer and we weren't disappointed. Just like the city hotel, this place is well located and you do get more then you pay for (booked in advance to get a discount). The pool is a little odd shape for any serious swimming, there is a Jacuzzi sorts in a corner and if you are not into practice sessions, the pool is acceptable for floating and enjoying your holiday. Do include the breakfast with your stay, its worth it and necessary. Ask for a sea facing room or a high floor for the best views. My Five stars for hospitality!! There is a small store in the hotel (9am-7pm) for buying most basic stuff. Hard Rock café is next door and its a short ride to Butterfly farm (Yes its worth the trip!) Don't have too much expectations from the beach (applies to most of Penang) After check-out we were able to leave our luggage in the city branch (on the way to the airport) while we walked around Georgetown, that really saved the day (look at the map to understand what I mean). Happy Holidays!

delighted with my room, spacious,good air conditioning and shower. No restaurant or bar but lots of choices within minutes. 10 minutes walk to sandy beach. Excellent location and great value for money.

I was on a business trip to Penang, and decided to stay at the Lone Pine for a long weekend's relaxation. This was a very good decision! I knew it was going to be good from the moment I arrived. The reception staff greeted me warmly, and had all my details ready on a little clipboard. They asked me to sit down at the desk, and another member of t=staff brought me a glass of fresh tropical fruit juice. Fantastic introduction! The hotel was everything I hoped it would be, and more. The buildings themselves have a nice "colonial" feel to them (though I gather the hotel was originally built in the 1940s/50s. A recent refurbishment has been done in a very sympathetic way. My room was very well appointed, with a high ceiling and a very efficient fan, as well as air-con. The balcony had a deep bath built-in. The surroundings of the hotel are really lovely. There are extensive gardens, with ancient trees, some of which have hammocks strung between them. Loungers are scattered throughout the grounds, so you can always find a quiet spot. There is also a large swimming pool, with more loungers and tables around the it. The main restaurant, "The Bungalow", is right next to the beach. The extensive breakfast buffet is served there. On the Saturday of my arrival I opted to have dinner there too. This was a "Wine and Dine" buffet, which was very good. The best thing about the hotel is the staff! Every one of them would greet me with a smile and a "hello sir", so I felt really welcome.

The family love staying here, there is as much or little to do as you want. Great breakfast to get the day started and the staff are always fun and helpful throughout the resort. Safe enjoyable environment.

We stayed 8 nights here and could not have asked for a better location. The night markets stretched out in both directions, plenty of eating choices within easy walking distance. Fantastic staff - nothing was too much trouble. Huge beds, great breakfast buffet, onsite masseur, onsite nail technicians.

Enjoyed our stay there. 2 adults with 2 children. The pool with keep the children occupied while parents can relax. Will go back again...

Limited parking and the toilet is so small. Other than that staff is very helpful.

We found the overall experience was excellent. The hotel staff from those at front reception desk to the staff in the resteraunts and around the pool to be very helpful and extremely friendly and welcoming. The ambience of the hotel was very relaxing which exactly what we were looking for during this holiday and we found ourselves at the end not wanting to leave. We will definitely be returning to the Rasa Sayang for a family holiday very soon and look forward to meeting all the lovely staff we met this time on holiday.
