Penang | Batu Ferringhi Beach - PARKROYAL Penang Resort
Another accommodation option at Batu Ferringhi Beach, if you find the Shangri-La Hotel too outdated, you might want to try the "PARKROYAL Penang Resort." Not only are the facilities newer, but the price is also more affordable, with a double room including breakfast costing less than 3,000 TWD!
The PARKROYAL Penang Resort offers a spacious layout and abundant facilities. The lobby opens directly to the pool, and stepping outside leads you to a stunning beach with a seamless blend of sea and sky. Although it's a bit farther from the city center, transportation is still convenient. The hotel faces the main road, with restaurants and shops to the right, and a night market, McDonald's, and Starbucks to the left, making it a very convenient location.
For a resort, the standard double rooms are slightly smaller, measuring less than 30 square meters, and they lack bathtubs, which might be a minor drawback. However, the outdoor pool is impressively large, perfect for relaxing either in the water or on the beach. The buffet breakfast is delicious and diverse, with the menu changing daily, showing great attention to detail.
In summary, staying at a beach resort for less than 3,000 TWD is truly a deal that's hard to criticize.
