Penang Hotel Tips by jolou

We stayed in the Casuarina as part of a deal from Kuoni (£500 for flights and 14 nights accomodation) so I'm not sure of the cost if you book seperately. The Casuarina was a good base in Penang: friendly staff and a good sized pool overlooking the beach. I didn't have any meals there as there is so much other choice in the area at much cheaper prices, although we did have a room-service burger during a torrential downpour!

Unique Qualities: The casuarina does have a slight retirement home feel about it as there's a lot of people who seem to go there year after year. This gives the hotel quite a nice quiet, slow-paced feel about it but it's not the place to stay if you are looking for a lively bar and hoping to meet other young travellers / holiday makers.
