Hotels Near Rasa Sayang Resort Lounge in Batu Ferringhi

We stayed at the Shangri-la Rasa Sayang resort as part of a journey down memory lane. Having lived in Penang in my childhood I was visiting with my wife after over 40-years and the only place I wanted to stay was this hotel where I had once been as a young boy. I’m glad to say that the hotel not only fulfilled my emotional needs but stands tall for its prime beach location, grand design, lush gardens, amazing buffet, and exotic ocean views. The reception staff recognized my milestone birthday at check in and sent us a bottle of red wine 😊 which was a great start. Our room had one of the best views from the balcony (most rooms have a good view) and a very comfortable bed, fully equipped bathroom and amenities. Outside the buffet in the morning are two hawkers preparing Teh Tarik and Kaya Toast while the buffet itself includes Malaysian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Western, and bakery sections. It’s a large dining area inside but also a lot of garden seating with ocean views. We got massages on the beach both days (which I highly recommend) and my wife also got a facial at their spa. Ours was the Garden Wing which is newer with an artistic pool area but the adjacent Rasa Wing which dates back to the original hotel is also equally good. The Batu Ferringhi road is lined with hotels and hawker markets which really come alive at night…we did walk through them once but preferred to relax in the resort itself. It’s a 20-25-min drive from Georgetown and about 30-45-min from the Penang bridge. If you’re looking to get the best in terms of a relaxing holiday and ease of access to other parts of Penang, I would highly recommend this hotel!

Room rates are quite expensive with a 2 star motel standard. I have stayed in a 3 star hotel for the same price as this hotel. Prices need to be reduced further. Quite expensive probably because of the school holiday week. All hotels raise high prices.

The hotel is very good, the location is convenient, the staff is courteous, the car is so convenient, I recommend everyone

Can improve again the environment

I ask for sejadah but the staff said only have one and already take by other cust before me. Next morning I wait for my breakfast until 8am theres no breakfast serve. Dont know where can I ask cause theres no staff. I also whatapps the staff which I get the no at the door but no respond from them. cust from another room also asking for their breakfast and us waiting so long 🥲

It was our first time in Penang and we stayed here for 4 days and 4 nights. It's a nice place. But the toilet is old looking although we got the bathtub, we didn't soak. We just bathe as per normal. But the swimming area is the bomb!! We love it! And the sea and beach. Tried jetski and it was awesome! Around it, there's a lot of eateries as well!! We enjoyed going out to eat every single day! But the monkeys... There were monkeys around invading our balcony!! Had to lock our doors to avoid them from coming in. There's also a night market nearby along the road. Not too bad to bring home some good items.

I was not given the type of room I booked on the first night. The hotel didn't provide bottled water. I was told to get water from the water cooler on the ground floor. My room was clean, and the staff was helpful, but I had to ask for room basics like shampoo and body wash more than once in order to get it.

This is the best hotel i ever booked in trip.com. receive extremely warm hospitality a profesional hotelier team. The resort was perfect for city dweller looking for short escape and peace. Resort environment was serene for a peace of mind. A perfect short escape for city dweller to escape from hustling bustling.

This place is great, the check-in instructions are clear and registration is easy. Both the living room and the room can see a little bit of the sea. The environment is clean and hygienic, with a washing machine and dryer. The pool view is great and I will recommend it to other friends.
