Frommer's Review

Rasa Sayang reopened in 2006 after an RM10.5-million ($3-million/£1.5-million) renovation that saw the original buildings gutted and reformed into a state-of-the-art resort facility to compete with the deluxe resorts of Langkawi to the north. This was the original resort to be built along Batu Feringgi, so it commands the best beach of all the resorts, with 12 hectares (30 acres) of grounds -- enough for a par-3 executive golf course, three pools, and plenty of gardens. Standard rooms are gorgeous, most with sea views, in contemporary style and natural tones, deep wood built-ins, and big fluffy beds. In the Rasa Wing, guest rooms have private verandas and gardens, or balconies with tubs outside. Rasa Sayang also launched the Shangri-La's new spa brand, CHI, with decor and treatments based on Chinese principles of yin and yang and the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Guests here can also share facilities with sister property Golden Sands.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; 2 bars; 3 outdoor lagoon-style pools; fitness center; spa; outdoor lighted tennis courts; watersports equipment and activities; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; limousine service; shuttle service to Shangri-La Hotel in Georgetown; business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; self-service launderette.
