We finally landed in Hard Rock Hotel, Penang and it is bustling with activities. Despite it’s smaller size compared to other Hard Rock Hotel, it does have perhaps just enough to keep you entertain for a couple of days, and you always have the many surrounding areas you can explore.
Situated in the northern coast along Batu Ferringi, it started operation in Sep 2009 and from the look of it, has attracted quite a crowd. Most of the rooms are facing the sea and you can see the range of activites constantly been carried out. Para-sailing, horse riding, jet-skiing, sun-tanning, etc…you can be sure you will not be along at the beach.
With the pool just a stone throw away from the beach (literally), you can always decide where you want to swim. With activities taken the kids in mind, you can also leave your kids with them while you and your spouse have some relexation.
Food price are reasonable or you cab just cross the road for some local fare or cheaper alternatives. To get to the biggest shopping complex aka Gurney Plaza, you can take a cab for around RM30 or better still, take a bus (101 or 102) from right outside the hotel for just RM2 per person. If you travel light, bus 102 even takes you to the airport. Else by cab it will be RM60 and the reception can help you arrange for one.
The question is, did My family and I had a great time here? Will we consider coming back? The answers to both questions are a big YES! In fact, we plan for a longer stay (compared to put 3D2N trip this time round) so that we can spend a wee bit more time in the hotel and also spend some time at the surrounding areas.
