The Bayview Beach Resort

The view is superb. It is beach front. But public can access the beach (not a problem for me tho). The pool was good. The environment is chill and we got to watch sunset. There's watersports on the beach and horseback riding but you'll have to pay as it is not part of the resort's service. You can take beautiful pics here I guarantee you that. The restaurant was nice. The lobby was nice (to me at least). It is near to outside reastaurant as well (as in walking distance to other restaurants). The room was okay, clean and spacious, the view from my room was nice. The tv and ac works, iron was provided. Everything works for me. There were plenty of parking space. Everything was nice, good and comfy except the bed.

The location was fantastic. It was nice being in the North of the island. The rooms were lovely and spacious, with amazing views from the balcony. The swimming pool was amazing with different levels of depth going round. The beach is so close and beautiful views. The local night market in Batu Ferringhi is just a short walk from the hotel. It’s on every night from 7pm til Midnight. Best time to get a deal is during the week as it’s quieter whereas the weekend gets very busy and prices for the same item shoot up!

The hotel is very good for stay in Penang as i stayed there for 3 nights 1- room is spacious with a great view and comfortable beds - it is a bit outdated but nothing to really complain about 2- the beach area is great and very near to the hotel and pools are big and clean with depth that suits all needs 3- some great activities and sightseeing nearby ( Escape water park , species park , butterfly park ) 4- the night market is a good for a night walk with several shops and restaurants 5- area is very secure and safe Note - Penang is a very big island so the hotel and the beach considered away from other attractions like penang hill and George town but transportation is convenient and easy using grab or public transpiration

The first room allocated to us smelled musty, so we were moved to another room which was good. The rooms are clean and very spacious with nice views from the balcony. All basic bathroom amenities are supplied, as well as an effective aircon, electronic safe, iron & ironing board, and even disposable slippers. The shower is hot with decent pressure. The pool is lovely & clean with towel service provided and has a nice garden relaxation area surrounding it. The Front Office staff were helpful in printing some documents we needed for our next destination. Overall, the hotel is comfortable and provides good value for money compared to the other beachfront hotels in the area.

We first visited this property in 1995 and we always keep coming back. The hotel is older now but still very, very well kept (unlike other hotels in Malaysia that are even younger) and still so attractive especially on the ground floor with its glass lifts, bar, comfy sitting area and the pool is wonderfull for elderly guests like ourselves. The steps lead into the pool water with a rail, so no wondering, where is the bottom of the Pool?? All the staff working at the hotel were very friendly.
