I agree with the reviews that say the resort is in need of some refurbishment and food tending to be on the pricey side, however, our experience as a family with three small children, was positive. It was spacious, not too posh (so you don't have to worry about your kids mucking up anything) and nice facilities for children. The... more

This hotel looks and feels old, the rooms need to be refurbished and the reception needs training on customer services badly. Upon arrival, we were informed to wait as there were no rooms available (though it's check-in time). After an hour and much insistance from our part to be given a room, we were given an upgrade but smoking room... more

This hotel with eleven floors is built around the largest central atrium I have ever seen. The central atrium encloses the front access to the hotel and the reception desk and it is paved in hard easy to clean tiles. There are two immediate effects from this design the first ebing that any vehicales stopping at the front discharge their... more

We have been to Penang a number of times but have always stayed at the Casuarina at Batu Ferringhi, which has recently reopened as the Hard Rock Hotel. The Bayview Beach is located next door to the Casuarina/Hard Rock on the Western edge of the tourist strip, which is still only a 10-15 minute stroll back to the hotel from... more

We had a lovely stay at this resort for 8 days, the location was great away from the shops and bustle of the city. The resort had lovely gardens fronting onto the beach, a great Malay Massage lady and her husband (highly recommend) and a great pool. We really enjoyed the food from La Veranda and were inclined to dine... more

Stayed here last weekend in October. Rooms have a smell to them musty, moldy etc. Some are better than others. Paid for beach view room, and was a nice view. Gym at hotel has such old equipment, almost not worth having it. Room was quiet, staff friendly. Pool was excellent, and very easy to get a deck chair by it,... more

The Hotel was a bit musty smelling but other wise fine. The pool was fantastic . The beach was ok but the sea was not fit for swimming in which was a shame. It was brown and dirty all the time. more

Just back from a week at the Bayview Beach Resort. We upgraded from the standard room our agent booked for us, to the Deluxe Seaview Room for around $40AU per night extra and it was well worth it! The view was magnificent. Our room was large, very clean and comfortable. We didn't need to contact hotel staff very often, as... more

We visit Penang yearly, and this is our 4th year staying in this hotel. We wanted to try other hotels but the price drove us back to this one. The hotel furniture although is dated (faded carpets, sofa covers etc), it is clean, and unlike a lot of other hotels with musky smell, this place does not have any unpleasant... more
