keens to go back again
By chaw, 3/5/10
Dislike : i was ther for 2nights last year for the conference.however, some place was under renovation thus is noisy. Like : 1.Breakfast was great, variety choice ( 20), relax environment and design, 4types of fresh juices, staff was very friendly. 2. Deluxe sea facing room was superb, bigger king size bed, unforgettable luxurious and latest design of toilet... 3. night market is just front of the hotel 4. Can take bus from downtown which only costs around RM 1 to the hotel.the bus will stop right front of the hotel.eventhough the public bus was slow but i am enjoying in penang sideseeing.

Fully recommended. We will be back.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/1/10
My husband and I enjoyed staying in Golden Sands Resort Penang. Excellent Service, Excellence Cocktails & Mocktails / est $12.50 MYR after 50% discount - Happy Hour from 5pm to 7pm, Yummy spring rolls / 9pcs for $12 MYR . Swimmming pool very clean. Spa separated from the adult pool. Children pool protected from sun covered with sailing shed.Slide in the pool for children. Ideal for everyone. Fantastic room even at Hillview. Big garden for relaxing. 3 young female singers at the lounge. If you want entertainment, go to Hard Rock Cafe.LCD TV & DVD in the room. Breakfast.Good dinner buffet, Don't forget to upgrade your luggage if you go by budget airlines . It's better to eat in the hotel if you are fussy. The resort will provide you many discounts coupon range from 10% & to 20% for your ala carte and dinner buffet. Unfortunately discount not for garden cafe. Security everywhere in this resort. Safe place. We can see many peoples also having their good time. We stay for 8 nights, just imagine if you stay only for 3 nights might be not enough for you.Shuttle bus provided by the resort to shopping mall. Gurney Plaza the best place to shop.

Already planning trip for 2010
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/16/09
The hotel is currently being refurbished to a very high standard, and most of the work is completed. The rooms are absolutely stunning. Work was being done during our visit but in no way did this interfere with our enjoyment. A new Manager is in post since my last visit in 2008 and he is very "customer orientated" and extremely approachable. The breakfast is absolutely fantastic..so much choice and the restaurant staff are always happy and smiling. The housekeeping staff are also extremely nice and always greet you with a smile and a greeting. Cleanliness seems to be a top priority and everywhere is absolutely spotless. The garden/pool area is absolutely stunning and the service in that area is first class. I have been going there for many years, and I call it my "little paradise" as it provides me with everything that is essential to make a holiday memorable. Throughout the day, the hotel provide a regular shuttle bus service to Georgetown and this is just great for those who wish to take a break from lounging around in the sun....lots and lots of fantastic shops to browse through...and lots of bargains to be had. There is also a night market every night on the main road outside the hotel and this is simply fantastic. I have recommended this place to many friends and each one has come back with a very positive feedback and a desire to return again. I would recommend this place to anyone as there is absolutely no negative comment I could possibly make. I am certain that anyone who visits Shangrila will return time and time again to enjoy the sheer pleasure and ambience of the place.I am truly smitten.

Bed and Pillows were too hard
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/14/09
I stayed here a few years back and I am looking to return to Penang, but my memory of not being able to sleep because the bed and pillows were too hard is still at the forefront of my mind. Is it still the same? Otherwise I loved it, but I will definitely not return if they still have this problem.

GREAT PLACE GREAT PEOPLE
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/31/08
ITS A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT AND TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL. THE ACCOMODATION IS GREAT AS ARE THE FACILITIES. THE STAFF IS VERY HELPFUL AND ALWAYS FRIENDLY. WE HAVE BEEN GOING BACK EVERY YEAR SINCE 2005 AND WE FIND ITS A PLACE FOR FUN, SHOPPING, RELAXATION AND FAMILY ORIENTED. THE POOL, THE KIDS CLUB, HAPPY HOUR, THE HOTEL RESTAURANT, AND THE LOCATION TO THE NIGHTMARKETS AND FOODSTALLS ALL PLAY A PART IN MAKING THIS PLACE A GREAT HOLIDAY DESTINATION. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I might not go back
By Stranger, 7/17/07
The hotel is located in wonderful area. The swimming pool is fantastic. The room service sometimes is a bit slow, however, the staff is are friendly. What really annoyed me is that I could not enjoy a walk in the beach with out getting hassled by the touts on the beach. I was planning to try the parachute adventure, but I changed my mind because of these people. I guess the golden sands is a good place for fun and nightlife, but if you are trying to relax, then this is not the place. Personally, I am not thinking if going back to the place.

Not a desirable beach location
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/7/07
The hotel was of a good standard with clean rooms and efficient staff. The swimming pools were spacious but the design was somehow erratic with a 3m depth to the far end of the children's pool. However, this would have been the smokiest hotel I have ever stayed in Malaysia and I had to move from the sunloungers because there was always someone smoking nearby. The beach was disappointing with too many jetskis and it was dangerous for the children to swim. The water was not clean and the beach stinked with petrol. A man operating the parasailing even asked us to move away from that part of the beach because the parachute would land, there was no peace and quite for us at all. Although Penang has a lot of things to offer to visitors, a nice beach is clearly not on its list.

Not my first choice for a beach hotel
By Ellen C, 1/28/07
Excellent room and great view of the ocean and pool. Hotel services is great and resturant has good food. The beach is public with a lot of vendors and haggler. For privacy, hotel guess sit on fanced in grass field in back of the beach. For the money, I'd go to other beach hotels in Asia before returning to Golden Sand.
