With my kids and parents, we visit to Penang. Holiday Inn is our last stop at Penang. The room is nice and clean. Think just after renovation. Only that to enjoy the pool and beach, you have to walk over a pedestrian bridge. The pool is a bit small.While we were there, a group of youngster was using half of... More

I don't usually travel on package deals but health issues intervened on this occasion so it was easier. The travel agent mucked up the hotel booking ie. didn't advise them of my arrival. So after an 8+hour flight, airport transfer (over an hour) and my incapacity, I was tired and extremely annoyed that there was no record of any sort... More

Stayed here in May for 7 nights. We stayed at the Tower block and were upgraded to the sea view at check in which was great. The room was spacious and very clean with a balcony. The Tower Block was connected to the Beach wing via a walking bridge where breakfast was served overlooking the sea and the pool. The... More

This resort was the most economical along the beach strip to accommodate my husband and I and 3 kids so I was quite forgiving for its short comings.
