Have just spent 4 nights at the Parkroyal and was very impressed. Check in was efficient and the welcome drinks and cold towels were lovely after a very long trip from the UK. Unfortunately our luggage had not arrived and was still in Kuala Lumpur but the staff reassured us that that happens quite often with Malaysia airlines and it was likely to be delivered to the hotel in the afternoon, they were right and we had it within a few hours of arriving at the hotel. We booked a superior hill view room but we were very pleasantly surprised to find we had a sea view although we weren't aware of any upgrade. Room was large with very comfortable beds, good supply of toiletries that were replenished daily. Hotel facilities very good, we had the grill buffet on the first night which was reasonably priced. Food served around the pool was of good quality and served by very friendly and attentive staff who remembered your preferences for drinks daily. The water slides were great fun and we enjoyed playing at the volley ball net. Also great to have a separate pool that you could enjoy a swim without water guns! We enjoyed the beach sports and would recommend the parasailing and banana boat. Breakfast was great with lots to choose from. My only criticism would be that the coffee from the machines really wasn't good with poor flavour. Would happily stay here again and would recommend.

We arrived Saturday morning. As soon as we arrived, we attempted to reserve a table for dinner but the restaurant was completely booked for the entire evening. All day there were groups of people wandering around and groups cheering and yelling. The spa was also too busy to accommodate us. We saw a wedding party, a convention making noise all day and other events going on. No peaceful beach resort and we had to order room service the next morning because there was a half hour wait to eat breakfast in the restaurant. When we complained 9:30 in the morning we were told the noisy group speaking in a microphone would leave at noon. Noon was our check out time. We had no knowledge of the fact that any events were being held during our stay and had a very unpleasant trip. We also were given a room next to an outdoor smoking area. We don't smoke and the hallway and room we stayed in smelled of cigarettes. This room was actually an upgrade and we were charged $162. USD. We are expats living here in Penang and came here to enjoy a quiet beach weekend.

The lawn and pool areas are great for families with little kids. Relax by the grass or sand sea-facing, lay on the grass. Amazing experience. Great food too and relaxed ambiance. Friendly staff. Get 4/F recently renovated, 2nd and 3rd floors a bit old tho I was told these might be renovated nx yr.
kokonut klub for kids is great with many games, toys, activities where you can leave your child and the attendants are friendly and nice.
Food is good at Tamarind and Cool Bananas and Uncle Zack, in general, prices are expensive but you get good food.

I was very happy with this hotel, great cleaning service, good food, everything you needed was there. Beware of jelly fish in ocean, not clear water.....Finding a different lunch place was quite difficult, everything open at night.Markets was just outside the hotel, and if you needed to get around Hop on/Off bus was excellent!

Room tip: Seaview room a must!
