Penang has many great beach resort hotels that suit every budget. The 4* Holiday Inn is a good budget option, although it can be quite busy. The beautiful 5* Mutiara Beach Resort deserves its membership of the Leading Hotels of the World, and has a location away from the bustle of Batu Ferrenghi.
For holidaymakers wanting the best facilities coupled with a truly excellent location facing the setting sun, Shangri-La's 5* Rasa Sayang Resort has excellent bedrooms, and great facilities. Next door is the 4* Golden Sands Hotel, also a Shangri-La and guests at Rasa Sayang are free to use the other hotel's facilities.
