In Malaysia, there is a city that seems not to be part of Malaysia, but rather somewhere in China. Yet, it is indeed in Malaysia, and not a piece of the mainland that drifted over from the sea; it boasts the best food in the country, much of which has been influenced by Chinese cuisine; it has a unique ability to stop time, preserving the moments of the years right there. That city is Penang. Besides its culinary delights, it is also perfect for a romantic getaway. Today, I'm going to share three hotels that are great for photography and ideal for couples! 👍 Highly recommended: Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa, Penang Average price 1000-1500, stunning environment – excellent service, facilities, hygiene, and soundproofing! In Batu Ferringhi, Penang, there are two Shangri-La hotels next to each other, and I recommend the Rasa Sayang Shangri-La more. At Rasa Sayang Shangri-La, there are the Garden Wing and the Rasa Wing, and guests staying in suites and the Rasa Wing not only enjoy daily afternoon tea and cocktail hours in the lounge, but also have access to unlimited soft drinks and fruits at all hotel pools from 9 am to 5 pm – which is why choosing a good hotel is essential for a vacation. Even if it's a bit pricier, it's worth it! The hotel has an excellent ecological environment; I really love Penang! 👍 Highly recommended: ParkRoyal Penang Resort Average price 550-1000, good environment, service, hygiene, soundproofing, and views! On the beach of Batu Ferringhi, Penang – the ParkRoyal resort, part of the Pan Pacific Hotels Group, is also very beautiful! It's very suitable for a couple's vacation. ParkRoyal, like Anantara, Kempinski, The Nai Harn, Capella, Sukhothai, is part of GHA Discover, so there are related membership benefits! A lazy afternoon – holiday time in Penang is so comfortable! After spending three months on vacation in Thailand, I thought I would be tired of the sea when I came to Malaysia. But surprisingly, even though there are quite a few guests in the hotel, it still feels very cozy, quiet, and comfortable, with a completely different vacation atmosphere from Thailand. A romantic seaside dinner in the evening, with the sunset and twilight so beautiful it's intoxicating! 👍 Highly recommended: Amari Penang Average price 600-1200, a new hotel with great facilities! Apart from the seaside – there are also good options in the city area of Penang! The Amari Penang, which just opened at the end of 2022, has a simple style, bright colors, and great window views – I quite like it! The executive lounge at Amari Penang is also very nice! Penang is the most artistic place in Malaysia in my eyes, where you can enjoy the fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine in Penang, and have a perfect trip away from the crowds. Malaysia's vacation paradise – a city famous for its food, with a diverse architectural culture that reveals the essence of Chinese architecture, the perfect combination of local Penang features and Western architectural culture – unique and impressive!

#hotelreview Yeahhhh!!! Im taken❤️❤️ Thanks for arranging all the decor in the room and the garden, it’s just so beautiful and touched 🥰 For those who are planning to propose and have no idea where to go, Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa would be a good place!!! Highly recommend to go for the room type in the Rasa Wing (resort has garden wing and rasa wing) especially the Rasa Deluxe room (the room type we booked) as it will come together with a spacious and instagrammable private garden where you can do the decoration for the special occasion!!! Of course, as a Rasa Wing guest, they will be special benefits offered such as afternoon tea and swimming pool access for Rasa guests only. Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

First stop in Malaysia: Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa in Penang~ Arrived at night, the bed was already made and it looks good! There are two Shangri-La hotels in Batu Ferringhi, Penang, and the price of Golden Sands Shangri-La is only half of the one I stayed in, Rasa Sayang Shangri-La. In Shayang Shangri-La ~ it is divided into Garden Wing and Shayang Wing. Guests staying in suites and Shayang Wing not only have afternoon tea and cocktail time in the lounge every day, but also have free unlimited soft drinks at all swimming pools in the hotel from 9am to 5pm. Drinks and fruits ~ so it is better to choose a better hotel for travel and vacation ~ even if the price is higher, it is worth the money! Vacationing in Penang is not only a very comfortable environment, but also a very good experience! The good and attentive service is~ I only ate grapes and longan for the fruits delivered yesterday. Today, I not only added the fruit plate, but also sent a plate of longan separately, which is really considerate! The ecological environment of the hotel is particularly good! From time to time, you can see wild monitor lizards~ Every time they appear, the people in the swimming pool are very calm~ So I have to pretend to be calm too! Although I am not afraid~ but very excited! I really love all kinds of animals, especially when I see reptiles, I get so excited. I really love Penang!

junior suite rasa sayang resort is one of the suite at rasa wing. one of the best hotel for to relax. make sure to book rasa wing room to get a full privileged such as complimentary coffee and tea, afternoon tea and cocktail at rasa lounge, adult pool for rasa wing guest only and u get to choose to have a breakfast at semi fine dining restaurant or the main restaurant.. their food is delicious..

The hotel has a great resort feeling with a lush park and nice swimming pool area. The beach is not very suitable for swimming unless you swim in the morning when the tide is low. During low tide it's possible to enter the ocean via the beach. The rooms are spacious and renovated but overall the hotel is still dated for my personal taste. I likes the breakfast with a variety of Western and Asian options. Particularly I liked that you can try the local Malaysian delicatesse. I really liked the beach bar where you can enjoy unobstructed views over the bay and the ocean. Perfect for also romantic sunset cocktails 🍸 👌 😍. The hotel is within walking distance from the town Batu Ferringhi where you find entertainment and many restaurants. #valentinescape

By far CHI @ Shangri La Rasa Sayang is the best resort spa in Penang! The balinese rustic treatment room and outdoor bathtub surrounded by greenery is really tranquil! Love the setting so much, very relaxing! We tried the foot spa and aroma massage. The staff was professional and well trained. Although price may be on the high side but worth every penny for the great spa experience here. #spamagic

I’m back at this lovely resort, Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Penang. My last stay was 2 years ago, a week before the movement control order. Shocked to see erosion whittled these gorgeous parts of Batu Feringghi Beach. Coconut trees and beautiful beaches all gone. Kudos to the resort management for taking necessary mitigation works to prevent such erosion. a significant amount of money has been spent on retaining wall and slope stabilisation. Hopefully the state government and relevant authorities are taking serious action on this. Otherwise this beautiful resort and few nearby resorts will be gone in few years time. In spite of that, the resort has never failed to impress us with outstanding service, good food and great facilities. Not to forget a beautiful and well kept garden. My verdict: Based on my observation, the guests are mostly returning guests and they don’t mind paying a higher rate. This is the testament of how people ‘fall in love’ with Rasa Sayang and I do believe it is a daunting task for other resorts even though the new one in Penang to beat Shangri-La. #beautifulresorts #shangrila #rasasayang# Oh ya, cover pic taken from room #1308 😎

‘Rasa Sayang’ simply means a "feeling of love" in Malay. Apart from a unique name of the hotel, one would appreciate the fact that the resort (opened in 1973), was the large and exclusive beach resort in the region at the time. Its intricate Minangkabau roof has been hailed as an architectural masterpiece. I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a room that facing both pool & sea in Garden Wing. Garden Wing rooms have been refurbished recently to reflect the surrounding beauty. For those with deep pockets can opt for Rasa Wing which offers few amenities such as lounge privileges including afternoon tea and evening cocktails. My verdict : With views of the resort’s lush landscaped gardens and pools, I’d say this is a lovely hotel that I am excited to be a returning guest. #awesomepic#beautifulsunsets#beaches

On the northern coast of Penang, a resort embraced by a tropical rainforest stands quietly. Shangri-La Rasa Sayang, Penang is like a wise man who knows how to live in seclusion, perfectly blending the magnificence of the Andaman Sea with the wildness of the primitive jungle. In the morning, long-tailed monkeys play in the branches; at dusk, the lights of fishing boats twinkle on the sea. Everything here tells the most authentic story of Penang. Passing through the lobby with century-old trees as a natural dome, a wide-open view unfolds: layered swimming pools are like sapphires inlaid in the tropical garden, eventually merging with the distant sea. The rooms interpret tropical style with contemporary Asian aesthetics. From the window, you can see squirrels jumping on the terrace, or enjoy the privacy of an entire deserted beach. The most unforgettable are those villas hidden in the depths of the rainforest, gently surrounded by ferns and climbing flowers, marking the passage of time only by birdsong and the sound of the tide. When the setting sun gilds the sea, the seafood barbecue at the Fisherman's Wharf begins to exude the tempting aroma of coconut milk and lemongrass. The chef uses tiger prawns, blue crabs, and wild sea fish caught that day to create a wonderful fusion of Nyonya cuisine and Malay flavors. In the SPA pavilion deep in the rainforest, therapists are using tropical herbs and essential oils to start a healing ritual that awakens the senses for guests. There is no noisy water park here, but there is a more precious gift: allowing every visitor to regain the ability to communicate with nature.

From the moment you step onto Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa's expansive 30-acre property, you’re enveloped in an ambiance of luxury and tranquility with its lush tropical surroundings where centuries-old rain trees offer ample shade and a peaceful atmosphere. Opting for a sea-facing room is a decision you won’t regret. The gentle sound of waves and a panoramic view of Batu Ferringhi Beach is mesmerizing. The rooms are spacious and tastefully appointed, offering modern comforts while preserving the charm of a classic luxury hotel. CHI, The Spa features 11 private villas. Treatments highlights include the ‘Urutan Malaysia’ — a full-body massage that incorporates techniques from Malay, Indian and Chinese practices and the ‘Signature Herbal Asmaradana Massage'. There are two outdoor swimming pools: one in the Garden Wing and a adult-only pool in the Rasa Wing. A unique 9-hole par-3 pitch-and-putt golf course is tucked into the gardens, perfect for relieving physical and mental tension. Dining is a highlight in itself. Choose between indoor seating or al fresco meals with stunning garden views. You might spot monitor lizards roaming the grounds — just stay calm and enjoy observing these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat. With exceptional service, thoughtful amenities and unmatched ambiance, Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang continues to be a standout choice and a personal favourite for anyone visiting Penang. #RasaSayang #ShangriLa #PenangStaycation #SeaviewStay #couplestrip
