Holiday Inn Resort Penang

Frommer's Review

This is a recommended choice for families, but be warned this resort has little appeal for vacationing couples or singles sans children. For families it has everything -- special Kidsuites have a separate room for the wee ones with TV, video, and PlayStation, some with bunk beds -- choose from jungle, treasure island, or outer space themes. Holiday Inn also has a Kids Club, fully supervised daycare with activities and games and a lifeguard. Older kids can join in beach volleyball, water polo, bike tours, and an assortment of watersports arranged by the staff. Guest rooms are in two blocks: a low-rise structure near the beach and a high-rise tower along the hillside, connected by a second-story walkway. Naturally, the beachside rooms command the greater rate. Beachside rooms also have better ambience and slightly larger space with wood floors and details, while tower rooms have less charm. The lack of dining options gets tiring.
