For a more serene experience, the nearby Tanjung Bungah beach offers a quieter retreat, perfect for unwinding with a book or taking leisurely strolls along the shore. Don't miss the chance to explore the local markets in Butterworth, where you can savour authentic street food and shop for unique souvenirs. For those keen on a bit of culture, the nearby Penang National Park offers beautiful trails leading to secluded beaches and stunning viewpoints, making it a great outing for adventurous families.

"The hotel rooms are big. Although it's not in the latest decorations, the room and bathroom are clean and functional, bed was comfortable with clean linen, meets our needs. The location is excellent. The New Land hawker stalls are literally on the doorstep, we were able to take away the food and enjoy them in the comfort of the airconed hotel room. Many attractions in Georgetown are within walking distance. We will stay at Sunway if we visit Penang again."

8/10 Good
"Staff were excellent, room was OK, but I booked a deluxe seaview with i thought a balcony, and got a view of the car park and no balcony. TV stations are adequate, but movie channel froze constantly. The shower drain was slow, and maintenance did not fix it on request. Breakfast was wonderful one day and not so wonderful other days. WIFI was good. In house food and drinks were expensive, A coke 18 ringit, 3.5 ringit at the local shops."
