Fun Filled Long Weekend
12 CommentsMy hubby got a free complementary stay in Rasa Sayang Shangri-La Hotel Penang. Actually it is a free night stay at any Shangri-La hotel worldwide. We decided to book it in Penang since we have enough travelling for the year.
I didn’t know there is a difference between sea facing and sea view room until my colleague told me. I booked the sea view room. I also invited my nephew to join us and my children love to have him. They really have fun together. I guess more fun for them than us.
We also decided to dine in Spice Market Cafe and go for the International Buffet as I have 20% discount there. However I didn’t find the buffet any special for the price we are paying. It was an International buffet minus the oyster and lobster. Maybe we went on the wrong day. Oh, my dept picked the same place to have early Christmas dinner. I will dine free again here.
The overall service was not what I expected for a 5 star hotel. It was really short staff because no one came to clear our plates during the buffet, waiting time for check in was longer and nothing exclusive.
Anyway, it is a good short & cheap vacation.
Here are the pictures:

Last time I used to go there for the Chinese food buffet, it was nice last time, now I’m not sure la.

So what is the difference between a sea view room and a sea-facing room?

Giddy Tigress: Sea facing is rooms that face the sea. Sea View rooms are by the side of the building, you still see the sea but the room does not face the sea. Sea facing are usually on high floors.

The beach looks so much like the one we stayed ( Lone Pine) with all the arm chairs and hammock plus lots of activities ( paragliding, horse riding, scooter etc etc). Now I remember, Lone Pine is just after Rasa Sayang.

Magictree:Actually now the hotels are pretty clear that any activities outside and beyond the hotel area is not part of the hotel. It is run by 3rd party. Yeap Lone Pine is after Golden Sands.
