Would strongly recommend Park Royal Hotel at Batu Ferringhi, Penang. It is located in a very beautiful place, close to the beaches, Batu ferringhi night market, town, and it is a paradise for those who are visiting Penang.

The capital of Penang , a favorite spot for tourists as it has lots of pre-war houses also one of the favourite spot for the locals as most of Penang's pubs are located there . The town seems quite relaxed , as restaurants , small shops , and mall shops don't fully open until around noon . If you're waking up early , be sure to look for Chinese Dim Sum stalls as they are only available in the morning . But don't bother looking for any other activities besides eating .

This is nice retirement place for many, including foreigners. Many people in penang can speak and understand english. Friendly and helpful. Life is not too hectic like capital city Kuala Lumpur.
