Travel Guide

Penang National Park is incredibly beautiful and a great place to take a hike. The reward is finding yourself on a fairly secluded beach where you can unwind and take a dip. Malaysia does a pretty good job with their national parks - keeping them mostly undeveloped and so forth. We hiked from the park entrance to Turtle beach and ended up catching a boat back rather than hiking back. By taking the boat, we were able to enjoy seeing the remote coastal areas of the park where trails do not go. Tip: wear real shoes and not flip-flops. It is a hike after all. (not that we would have made that mistake, right?)

Great view, if you're anywhere near ocean side. Towels could be replaced with thicker ones. But rooms, beds, and amenities are great.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (273 reviews)
Checked in was very smooth, "Yaya" from the checked in counter was very helpful and she even call the room to check is everything ok. Breakfast spread was superb. The only setback was the pillow for my 4 nights stay, to soft, maybe hotel can invest for a better pillow, a bit firm should be nice.
