Parkroyal Penang, Shangri-La's Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa, etc. It is also

The beach
itself is quite good, thought not up there with Malaysia's best and the
water is not of the tropically clear variety you might expect. The beach
is kept clean, even on weekends when hordes of day-trippers visit.

west of Georgetown.
