A short distance from the Gurney vicinity is the acclaimed Batu Ferringhi. This is where the amazing beaches are and where the fun happens. All the luxury hotels here are amazing and a short distance from (if not on) the beach. There is a certain sort of life felt here, and it’s a totally beach bumming one that completes a true beach holiday.
Stepping into the Rasa Sayang Hotel, it felt as if I was in a private island and that I was worth millions of dollars. The degree of calm here can arguably beat that of a monastery! Considering the amount you dish out for this degree of excellence, I would think its totally worth your pennies. You can even dine in the best ambience and pick a spa package to complete your relaxing holiday.
The Holiday Inn, Park Royal Hotel and the Bayview Beach Resort all seemed similar to me, as they were priced slightly on the high side, but definitely cheaper than the Rasa Sayang. All of them had similar beach activities available including horse-riding, which was fun, even though for a short while. These hotels had deluxe services and also had a child care centre to let the adults to be able to pamper themselves with their holiday without requiring to be stressed out regarding their offspring.
The Golden Sands I found was the most affordable and accommodating hotel as more families can opt to stay there with a smaller budget. Though not cheap, its still reasonable and also has all the beach facilities a beach hotel should have.
At night we tried Eden restaurant where fresh seafood was served and a live band performed. The Ship was something we felt like trying but didn’t have the chance to. It was pity as its façade was very interesting and I’d definitely try to eat there another time. After dinner, we meandered up the road to the flea night market where i picked up some beachwear, sandals and a few bags for a outstanding. There were also dvds, cigarette boxes and lighters, childrens toys, and charms available.
