PARKROYAL Penang Staycation 2018

PARKROYAL Penang Resort Staycation 2018 (27 April 2018)




On 27-29 April, 2018, my wife and I enjoyed the pleasure of a staycation at PARKROYAL Penang Resort, where we get a full immersion into the PARKROYAL hospitality experience. The hospitality experience started right from the moment we stepped into the resort hotel.

Instead of being made to wait at the Front Desk, we were ushered to Javana Lounge, the cavernous lounge area of the hotel, and served our welcome drinks and hand towels. Then we were greeted by General Manager of PARKROYAL Penang Resort, Mr Edward Kollmer and Marketing Communications Coordinator, Miss Carrena Sim. It was indeed a lovely start to our staycation, as we get to know the people running the resort, and can work closely with them.

We were given a lovely room on the 6th floor of the resort. From there, we can get a gorgeous view of the resort grounds, and the beautiful sea not far away.

For the next two mornings, we enjoyed sumptuous breakfasts at the hotel's main dining outlet, Cinnamon. It offers a wide range of both Western and Oriental cuisine. On both mornings, we saw that the hotel was quite pack with guests.

In the afternoon of our second day at PARKROYAL, we got to enjoy "T-Time" at the resort. This is the afternoon tea, and it is available with two options: Western or Local. We were given to try the local fare, which was an opulent affair. The dishes were brought to our table on a lovely Nyonya tiffin carrier, and we get to select a choice of Ronnefeldt teas.

The rest of our time, we spent enjoying PARKROYAL Resort Penang's huge swimming pools. There are at least two different pools to choose, and I spent as much time as I could in them.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
