"Love every minute of it. A very nice place and it was the second time I’ve been there. I really enjoy the pool, the slide, walking on the beach, and the rooms are immaculate."
A verified traveller stayed at PARKROYAL Penang Resort
"We loved staying at The Blue Mansions. After spending a few days walking the streets of George Town, it was a pleasure to come back each day. The building and interior are stunning, and the service provided by the staff is first-class. It was a real treat to have our own Jacuzzi bath and to step outside with access to the pool.
Had this hotel been anywhere else in the world, i am sure we would be paying triple the price, which is well outside of our range.
We stayed in the 50's room with our 13-year-old; we had ample space, plenty of wardrobe space, and loved the private garden access at the back.
The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly and looking after us."
