Great Fun for Kids

The hotel has a fantastic adventure zone that my kids absolutely loved! It features cool slides and a mini water park that kept them entertained for hours. They didn’t want to leave the resort. This was a perfect destination for family fun!

I had a fantastic stay at this resort. The location is perfect, right on the beach with easy access to shops and restaurants. The room was spacious and comfortable, perfect for our family getaway. However, the bathrooms could use a bit of updating, which was a minor disappointment. The amenities at the resort are excellent, especially the kids' adventure program and the multiple pools. The value for money is solid, but some updates would enhance the overall experience.

We had a mixed experience at this resort. The location was great for families, particularly with kids, thanks to the baby-friendly pool and nice views of the sea. However, we were frustrated by the poor service at the lounge area and the outdated state of the hotel, which was not what we expected. The spaciousness of the resort was nice, but overall, the experience was let down by some inconvenient issues.

The hotel is located about 30 minutes from the main town area, which makes renting a car recommended. It was peaceful but a bit isolated.

My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. While the kids had a blast enjoying the pool and beach activities, there were some concerning issues with service and cleanliness. The rooms were alright, but I felt there should be more attention to detail, especially considering this is a resort spa. Overall, it feels like they could improve their operations to manage guest expectations better.

This resort has a lot to offer for families, with fun pools and activities, but it does have its downsides such as dated rooms and some service hiccups. It's a good option for a family getaway, especially if you're looking for a kids' adventure zone and convenient beach access.

6.0/10

Our stay at Golden Sands Penang was quite the rollercoaster. While we were greeted with beautiful grounds and a stunning beach view, the initial room we received was far from acceptable. Wet carpets, musky odors, and even a needle found in the suite really dampened our spirits. Luckily, the staff was quick to act and provided a better room, but the experience felt quite frustrating, especially during a family reunion time. Ideally, we'd have liked a smoother arrival.

Rooms

The first room we got was poorly maintained with wet carpets and unpleasant smells, but after being moved to a new room, it was slightly better.
