Hotel that makes you feel like a rich person”

our family went for a 4 night and 5 days trip to penang,malaysia.after couple of hours of consideration,we decided to go to this hotel,bayview beach resort situated in batu ferringhi.we found that the hotel was pretty far from the main attraction site that is george town.we regretted our choice but couldn't help it.when we arrived at penang and headed for our hotel by bus,we even felt remorseful as it seemed as if the bus was moving endlessly towards the hotel. however,as the bus passes along the coastline,many other hotels that we searched started showing up and we were somehow pacified.the bus passed the 'hard rock hotel' which is the hotel next door and reached our hotel and "whao!!" the hotel seemed truly amazing.it was way better than the photo that was displayed in the site. we headed to the reception and the lady told us to excuse them as the room was in cleaning process and we had to wait for an hour.after an hour the lady called us and thanked us for the patience and said that she provided us the room with a better view than the same room types.we were indeed happy. it was 5th floor and the moment we opened the door,we shouted with overjoy.the view was truly amazing and was having indeed the best view among so many hotels we visited throughout the world. also the hotel food was all-delicious and well-decorated with food choices changing every day.the swimming pool was made in such a way that we didn't feel boring at all when we played. recreational facilities were descent.hotel even had gym which was quiet and nice.hotel even provided the night shuttle bus to the night market. the things that i would like to accentuate are the wonderful view of the sea and hill from the room,continuous supply of potable water and hot water in the bathroom.tv has some good channels to watch and especially the room service was perfect. eventhough we mess the bedsheet up,they would clean. it was indeed an unforgettable experience.

peaceful location”

We chose to stay at Batu Ferringhi for its location. The Bayview Beach Resort has attractive grounds and courteous staff. We enjoyed a free upgrade to a beach view room, which we appreciated. Good choice of food for breakfast with longer hours for breakfast service meant that we could enjoy walks along the beach before breakfast. A lovely pool area and very comfy room. Nice to have two armchairs in which to sit instead of the one, which oddly seems to be standard in hotels even in rooms meant for couples! Also good hanging space and efficient laundry service opposite the hotel. The concierge, however, need to brush up their local knowledge. We were not told about the shuttle bus service between the hotels to a local shopping centre. We did enquire but we told the hotel only ran a shuttle to the night market. While it's true the hotel does not run the shuttle to the large shopping centre informing guests would have been useful. Rivalry between taxi companies was also quite disconcerting. However, I would both recommend and stay at the hotel. However, though irritating these were minor matters. The night markets, spice gardens, butterfly farm and the national park are all close by and great places to visit away from the hustle and bustle of Georgetown. We also lived the fact that the spruiking on the beach was less intense on Bay view's beach frontage.

Nostalgic”

My fiance and I have always enjoyed our stay at Bayview Beach Resort, mainly for the fact that it is located slightly further away from other hotels which makes it a very quiet and relaxing place to be. The staffs have always been very accommodating and attentive to our needs. Furniture may look dated but they fucntion nonetheless, not to mention the fact that staying in the room brings back a feeling of nostalgia. Minor refurbishments that emphasizes on cleanliness would appeal to a wider range of patrons. I have, and will always choose Bayview Batu Ferringhi as my preferred accommodation whenever I am in Penang. Cheers!

Tranquil Get Away”

We stayed here on our honeymoon and found the location perfect. It is far enough away from Georgetown and the last hotel in the Batu Ferringhi beach area. We enjoyed this because it a truly relaxing time, nice and peaceful. The poolside area was well equipped with a good sized swimming pool and an expansive recliner area, there was no need to go down to the beach to swim. We also liked that when we did walk through the hotel gardens to the beach we weren’t bombarded with hawkers trying to sell us knick knacks. The onsite restaurants are great, with a nice variety. We went for evening walks and found many restaurants along the bay that were quite a bit cheaper than the hotel with excellent food. Overall our stay at the Bayview beach resort was most enjoyable. The staff were friendly, polite and efficient.

Right next to Hard Rock Hotel and a bargain!”

Bayview is getting a bit old but is well maintained. In fact it is a plus it is older (than the Hard Rock Hotel next door) as the pool and gardens are spacious and you really can have your own space. In contrast the Hard Rock is very concrete jungle although modern. Lonely Planet strangely do not list Bayview but I would stay here and go the Hard Rock Cafe/Nightclub next door. Batu Ferringhi is not the best beach but offers heaps to do .... beach suffers from seaborne pollution. I spent a fair bit of time cleaning rubbish/trash from the beach myself. Staff need to be vigilant and instantly pick up rubbish as it arrives onshore. Otherwise good, kids liked the Banana Boat and horse-riding on the beach .... Night market is tourist crapola, go under half the prices given (they say 60 Ringgit, you say 20 RM and half way at 30 RM is good ...) ok for t-shirts only really though, be prepared to walk, all stalls nearly have the same crapola stuff. Night market needs a lift with more original or local craft type stuff, who buys fake hadbags these days??

Bayview Beach Resort, Penang, Malaysia”

My wife and I were looking for value bargains for a trip to Malaysia, and found one for this lovely beach resort on the island of Penang for a very reasonable price which included a sumptuous breakfast buffet for two. For the price, we didn't arrive with high expectations, but we were pleasantly surprised. The Bayview Beach Resort looked beautiful and was well-staffed, and the staff was polite and friendly. The room was large and clean, and had a balcony with a partial view of the sea. The complimentary buffet breakfast was delicious with a good variety of local and western cuisine. The only inconveniences were the bath tub drainage being a bit clogged and the music from the pub at night being audible inside our room. The water from the bath tub flowed out very slowly, but there was a separate shower room so we just used that instead. Our room was directly above the pub, so when we were in the room, the music was audible until 12:30 am.

Wonderful stay!”

We were a bit scared because of all the negative reviews... but luckily I am stubbern, because we really had a great time in this hotel! Don't listen to all the whiny people here. The staff is really helpful and friendly. We got an upgrade because it was a quiet period. Never seen such a huge bed! It was really comfortable aswel. They put up a babybed with no extra costs. The room itself was also very big and spacious. The bathroom a bit smaller but clean. We booked the breakfast buffet twice and they really thought of everything. Western food, Asian food and everything in between. We enjoyed it. The garden is just beautiful and the pool had the perfect temperature. Our 3 year old daughter loved the water playground (so did daddy haha). They provide towels at the pool. The beach is quit okay for Penang. The only downside was the horse what made it very smelly on the beach. We prefer pools anyway so were not too bothered by the beach. The location is ok. It's on the end of Batu Ferringhi... about 10-15mins walk to the night market. Across the road are nice resturants. Tip: use Uber or Grab (the apps) to get around the island! They are sooo cheap and easy, way better than the taxi drivers that try to rip you off. Conslusion... we will definitly come back here for our next Penang trip!! Really worth our money...

Bayview Hotel, Penang”

The Bayview Beach Resort Hotel is situated about 1 hour by taxi from the Airport 65rm and is about 45 minutes by bus to Penang Central and the bus can be caught just outside at 2.70rm one way. The Hotel is a large resort style Hotel with large swimming pools and right on the beach although the beach is not that clean with lots of activities like horse riding and parasailing and the Hotel Gardens are lovely and pleasent with coconut palms. They seem to cater a lot for families. The room we had was very large clean and very tidy with the local newspaper delivered under your door every morning. The buffet breakfast caters for just about everyone except there is no beacon available but it is very good value for money. The Staff are lovely too. Across the street from the Hotel are 2 average restaurants and an Internet Cafe. 10 minutes walk away there are restaurants all along the street. One Particular good one is call the Fantasy Restaurant which you pass on your way down to the night market. A good meal with drinks cost approx. 100rm and the Red Snapper was fantastic.

Awesome family holiday with our 10 children”

We recently stayed at Bayview Beach Resort with our 10 children. We booked 3 of the triple delux rooms including breakfast and they were spacious clean rooms,; the main bed is the size of 2 double beds joined. We found that it was cheaper to book our airport transfer via the hotel. This accommodation was perfect for all of our children’s ages ranging from 1-20 years of age. Staff were friendly and hospitable. Our teenagers found it cheaper to book jet skiing and parasailing down at Golden beach. Close proximity to Entopia and Escape Adventure/Water play (10-15 mins) which we highly recommend. Cost roughly 40MYR for two taxis one way, but it you don’t mind catching the bus, for my family it only cost 9.10MYR one way. We highly recommend visiting the Ferringhi Garden restaurant. The most delicious seafood platter my husband and I have ever consumed. Creme Brûlée~divine. Beach is pretty but not swimmable (jelly fish) can’t wait to revisit in the future

Bayview Beach Resort Penang”

Bayview Beach Resort Penang. Great Resort right on the beach, Lovely swimming pools, Great Rooms, very clean, Staff very nice and friendly. Breakfast fantastic. Buffet Dinner a disaster not good value for money as food all dried up. Local Bus stop outside Hotel Door. Average restaurants across the road from the Hotel also available is a Good Internet cafe. Just down the road is the Night Markets and lots of restaurants of which our favourite was The Fantasy which had great Snapper. The New Hard Rock Cafe Hotel is just next door to the Bayview Beach Resort Penang.

Cosy hotel with a lovely seaview”

we arrived there around 2 pm and checked in afterwards. we were surprised to see that the room was spacious, given the fact that you only pay RM220++ per night, i can say its way cheaper compared to any other 4 stars hotel in Batu Ferringhi. The bathroom was quite spacious with a bathtub. The service was up to par for a 4 stars hotel. We had breakfast that was consist of locals as well as western delicacies. and we had all that by the charming view of Batu Ferringhi beach. thumbs up for Bayview Beach Resort Batu Ferringhi, Penang.

Good Beach Holiday Hotel”

Located on a large property on the beach, the Bayview is not only an excellent resort for travelers on a budget, but also for the thrifty well-heeled wanderer. All rooms have good views of either the hillside or the ocean; each room's balcony is large enough to lounge on. The staff are very accommodating & you can book tours around the island from a desk in the spacious lobby. Late check-out is available for the asking. I enjoyed staying here & will definitely return (The Penang Jazz Festival is held on the grounds on Sat/Sun nights in early December every year). The hotel is situated on the northern beach of Batu Ferengghi about a 45 min drive from Penang Intl Airport (taxi: RM65), & 30 min back to the capital city Georgetown (taxi: RM50-80 round trip). Georgetown's inner city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site & a world-class dining experience!!

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location!”

Bayview Beach Resort has a great location - since it's at the west end of the string of Batu Ferrenghi resorts, it's quieter and has a wonderful unobstructed view of the lovely Penang Hills (and the rooms without a hill view have a great sea view). All of the staff treated us like kings, and the facilities were super clean. We had an awesome time enjoying the pool and the sea, and the local night markets for shopping and food are just a 15-minute stroll down the road. My only suggestion would be to offer free in-room wifi to guests (currently you pay 5RM per hour or 30RM/day for unlimited use).

bayview with beers!”

i stayed here with a mate of mine in may 2010. this was both of our first trip to penang. the bayview is an older hotel, but has been done up quite nicely. we had an absolutely awesome stay. the price was very reasonable. the breakfast included in the reservation was excellent. this hotel is a little way out of town, but we thought this was a benefit. (7 ringit taxi to he shops is nothing, or a nice walk). long beach is a must. we ate there every night. it is about a kilometre from the hotel. head down there at night for cheap, amazing food and beer. you will find all the aussie, british travellers here. everyone who has been to penang a few times goes here every night. across the road from the bayview is a cafe called enca. this place is owned by a little guy from bangladesh i think. this place is awesome for brekkie, lunch or dinner and very reasonably priced. also across the road is atu2 tour company. ask for mr ben or mr anwar and tell them bill and reg from australia sent you. we met these guys on our first day. they took us on a very reasonable day trip onto the main island up toward the malaysian thai border. we had an absolute ball. these guys are very trustworthy and will go out of their way to help you with any tours, car hire or transfers. club 69 is a new place on the main shopping strip. if ur young head down this way for an amazing night! the venue is out of this world, with a pool, sunken bar area, lounges, dj, everything. all in all, we loved penang. it was the highlight of our trip and we made alot of friends from all over the world. amazing

Great place to stay in Penang!”

I changed my perception of Penang the moment I stepped into Bayview Beach Resort Penang. The room was super spacious and clean for my 4 young children to move around. Swimming pool was kids friendly. The hotel even have a nice cosy indoor playground. My kids didn't even want to leave the hotel areas. Breakfast was a spread and very tasty. Great location as it is located right by the beach where my kids enjoyed horse riding. Truly a great place to stay as the staffs were efficient and friendly. The hotel deserved 2 thumbs up for making my family trip to Penang a memorable one!

Regular Visitor for more than 20 years”

Bayview Beach Resort always been my favorite place to stay during my holiday visit in Penang since I was lil kiddo. Never disappointed me and my family during our stay. Clean room, Well organized, Superb location, Very convenient! Friendly Staff! It was a full house checked in during our arrival! At the first sight, ain’t got no parking spot to park our car but yet “Abang@Brother Security” does assist us to give a place to park our car and treat us like a VIP! -“ thumbs up to that! . Bayview definitely will always be our favorite Resort to stay in Penang and will never go for other Resort.

Loved Bayview Beach Resort”

We stayed at Bayview to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday, we were there for 5 nights and we found the staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us. They even organised a birthday cake for my husband on behalf of the hotel which was greatly appreciated especially from our 3 young children. The family rooms were very spacious, the pool was amazing and the breakfast that we had as part of our package was awesome with so much choice! The location was great, beach front where we took advantage of some para sailing and jet skiing, and not far from the night markets which were great. My whole family loved the facilities of the resort, the awesome pool with swim up pool bar, one part nice and deep, children's play area, ability to have a massage on the premises out on the grass was great too. THANK YOU Bayview Beach Resort for making our holiday a special one
