I visited the Rasa Sayang for a 2 week stay july 1 2008- july 15 2008, with my wife and sixteen year old son. We stayed in the Rasa wing and had a deluxe room on the ground floor which meant we had our own garden. I have visited Penang on many occasions including the last 4 years in a... more

My husband and I stayed at the Rasa Sayang for five nights recently and whilst it has a number of luxury features, we would not be rushing back. The Rasa Wing is cerainly worth the extra $$ - if you want to use the very nice Rasa Wing pool (no children being a particular attraction), although it was disappointing that... more

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the refurbished Rasa Sayang Hotel in Penang. Service was excellent throughout our stay. However, true gem of this resort is their CHI Spa. It is a must-try indulgence for all! The entire spa layout resembles a Zen-like Japanese garden. Another favourite of mine is their Spice Market Cafe - where delicious Penang food is cooked... more

We recently stayed for 6 nights at the Rasa. We had upgraded to the Rasa Wing and it was well worth the money. Excellent breakfasts in the Ferrenghi Grill both a la carte and buffet style. Waited on hand and foot! The pool service was great, and the fact that no children were allowed. The staff were constantly bringing round... more

Stayed here for seven nights in november. This has to be one of the nicest hotels i have ever stayed in. The service is excellent as are the rooms and the pool areas are magnificent. Sit round the pool and you stick a flag on the ground next to your sunbed and a man on a bike comes and takes... more

We stayed at the Rasa Sayang in a Rasa Wing Premier Room (the one with the bath on the balcony) from 4-14 June following a wonderful stay in September 2007. We arrived at the hotel very late due to huge traffic jams clogging up all roads as petrol prices were increasing the next day. Upon arrival, we were assisted with... more

I haven't had such a good time in a hotel/resort for ages. We felt relaxed as soon as we arrived and were offered a drink and canapes. We booked the cheapest room type (Rasa Hillview) in the Rasa wing which was only slightly more expensive than the Garden Wing and at least US$100 cheaper than the other rooms in the... more

This is the worst managed Shangri La I've ever stayed at. A complete waste of money - poor food, inept staff, dreadful managers - and completely overpriced compared with nearby hotels and restaurants. It doesn't deserve to be a called Shangri La - it's not heavenly, it's ropey and unpleasant to stay in but the most unforgiveable thing for a... more

An absolutely faultless hotel. I love it and would go again in a breath. There were four of us, me and my hubbie and two children aged 1 and 3. We stayed in the Rasa Wing of the hotel. The hotel is an hour away from the airport but worth the wait after a long flight from the UK. The... more
