We really enjoyed our stay here. We upgraded to an Executive seaview room and we are glad we did. A great view of the sea and the pool. Breakfasts were good. We loved the pools and the resident lizards. An amazing place for families with young kids with the waterslides on the property. Its also a short walk to the longbeach hawker market and the BoraBora bar! Overall we loved this place. Just a note, we travelled during Ramadan and think it did affect how much was open, esp during the day.

My wife and I had an exceptional stay at the Golden Sands Resort in Penang. This resort is a paradise for water enthusiasts, offering an extensive array of swimming facilities and watersports activities, which you can even negotiate to fit your budget. The dining options available within a short 5 to 10-minute walk are incredibly diverse, catering to a wide range of palates with Indian, Malay, Thai, and Arab/Turkish cuisines. The housekeeping staff deserves special mention for their impeccable service, ensuring our room was always clean and inviting. The breakfast buffet was a daily highlight, offering a varied selection from continental dishes to local specialties, providing a taste of Penang's rich culinary heritage. I wholeheartedly recommend the Golden Sands Resort to anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of Penang. Attractions such as the Entopia Butterfly Park and Escape Theme Park are conveniently close, enhancing our experience. Moreover, the availability of Grab (the local equivalent of Uber) made exploring Penang, including the historical Georgetown, both easy and enjoyable. This stay has left a lasting impression on us, making it a holiday we will always cherish. Although I do not have any children at the moment, it is a very child-friendly resort. I will certainly bring my children here in the future when I have some.
