This is a comfortable resort style hotel which caters mainly for Malaysian residents, rather than other nationalities. All food served at breakfast and special dinners or lunches is Halal, which may not be to everyone's taste. Otherwise, the facilities are good, except that general cleanliness in the public areas could be improved (dirty walls etc) and we found cigarette butts... More

We booked this hotel because we wanted to be by the beach to swim. Sadly it is full of box jellyfish and signs up saying beware if swimming, so the pool it was. The pool was lovely and the staff very helpful. Breakfast was ok and we had the buffet barbeque on the Saturday night which was good. I would... More

We stayed in a deluxe sea view room on the 9th floor, which was great value for money. Great view from the balcony so it was lovely to sit out on it and watch the ocean. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was good and there is a flat screen tv, safe and free wifi. The only... More

Hotel is just 30seconds from the beach. It has pretty swimming pool, cute palm and coconut trees which for me is the point.Hotel has nice breakfast, you may even eat by the pool! The only experience I didn't enjoy is the promised free wifi connection. It is not that stable. When it was broken, don't expect they will fix it... More

From the Penang airport,you have to take a cab. 54 ringgit. They dont have airport transfers. Maybe Entire malaysia dont have such service. They let their customers commute. Upon arriving, nobody greeted us at the lobby. We have to carry our luggages as we check in. Anyways, checking in was quick. Our room is perfect!:) it was a 2-single beds... More

The hotel rooms are very clean and fresh with tiles instead of musty carpets. We stayed at the Holiday Inn (Penang) as well on the same trip and I much prefer the Flamingo to the Holiday Inn. For one thing, the price of the rooms at the Flamingo was only about US$75 compared with over $120 at the Holiday Inn.... More

Our deluxe seaview room was spacious and comfortable, even though the fittings were some what worn, and the bathroom had a lingering smell of pee. We sprayed down the bathroom occasionally, coverd the worn and stained armchairs with beach towels, ... The beach and pool areas are clean. We had breakfast at the cafe every morning and it was fairly... More

Stayed here 10 years ago and it was very good all round. This time it was very poor.The restaurant was dirty the food very poor. The reception staff had very little local knowledge. Our first visit I would say. 4/5 star, now 2 star. The new owners need to sort it out.
