The breath of fresh air around town came with the opening of Grand Hyatt KL in August 2012.
Since then, there were few other international chain hotels opening and newly announced hotels in the pipeline for the country.
Four Points by Sheraton Penang
In Penang, Four Points by Sheraton Penang opened its doors officially on 30th October 2013.
It is refurbished and rebranded, previously was Tanjung Bungah Beach Resort.
I took the opportunity for the opening celebration rate of only RM199++!! There was also a red hot deal and includes breakfast, the total rate came up to RM210.94.
The oceanfront rooms are priced starting at RM249++.
Its really value for money and everyone should take advantage of it.
Four Points by Sheraton Penang is not a premier beach resort, but its mighty fine. Just the right amount of space and amenities. It has small stretch beach, spacious lobby overlooking the beach with lounge furniture and colourful cushions, all day dining restaurant with beachfront sitting terrace and swimming pool.
I spent a lot of time at the beachfront terrace over tea, dinner and the next day breakfast. Its so nice to have food and drinks, and relaxing overlooking the beach and coconut trees with sounds of waves..
As the space is limited, I would think that it could get a bit crowded and noisy especially during peak season. Its a good hotel for family with young kids.
Its not a good hotel if you are looking for a quiet getaway, but perhaps you could still do off season.
The room is pretty comfortable at 25sqm. The furniture are mostly built-in so there lots of area to move around. I love the sofa by the window, it makes a good reading corner. The toilet is small for my liking, but it does just fine for short stay.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay here..
