Flamingo Hotel Penang, it was an long booking process using the orient rewards membership, which not intend to be anything related to them anymore. Well lets start off with the hotel, it was a nice hotel, due to its location and its view from the room. All the rooms and facing sea view. As you can see it has a great pool, there is baby pool, main pool and the pool bar, which kids are not allowed, not sure why? Access to the beach is also easy if you want to enjoy the sea nature.
Breathtaking view from the balcony
Surprise, in the room it provides us the basic toiletries, so you no need to bring any of yours, well, if you need, you are also welcome, just it's duplicating and taking up luguage space
The setup in the room are pretty simple, one pantry, one toilet, and this control table with the phone. One thing here, notice the floor, not carpentered!!!, the air-cond in this room, is below par, not cold.
Shower, careful, this got a really hot water. Please test before jumping in.
Ya, nice 32 inch, LCD which I have to time to enjoy!
Another view of the pool
This is the BBQ area,
Pool Bar below.
Pretty much weird, on the layout of the restaurant, I dislike it, it has a stairs in between, this poses difficulty or safety risks, for babies, pregnant ladies, and old folks.
The nicely layout so called "Friday Night SeaFood" the dishes are also below what I've expected, you should try the one from Hydro Majestic Hotel first. One thing good, they have senior citizen discount.
Well from what I can say, you can stay here, it is a nice hotel, with nice pool and nice room with the affordable price and location. The down side is the food. They really need to improve. If not you can always go across the road for a really nice local food, for western, you can get Ingolf Knipe ( German Restaurant) and Bulgarian restaurant besides it and also 7-eleven if you need to get something else.
