Always coming back to Penang for years now, we stay at the Golden Sands and never being disappointed. The garden landscape with pools are ideal for families and kids. Hotel room (sea view) are modern and good. The staff is friendly and always helpful if needed. Big breakfast buffet is a good start into the day.

The added facility of internet in rooms was greatly appreciated.... More
