Set to be an ideal resort for millennial families traveling with young kids and teens, the 316-room family-focused, full-service resort offers the option to connect up to two (2) rooms with the privacy of shared hallways, a Kid’s Club and direct access to Malaysia’s first teddy bear-themed museum, TeddyVille Museum.
The resort located approximately 15 kilometers from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town and cultural townscapes – ensuring accessibility to culture, retail therapy and local delicacies. The resort provides complimentary shuttle service to George Town as well as other popular localities, including Gurney Drive and Batu Ferringhi.
Aside from the local Peranakan delights and international favorites meticulously crafted by the chefs at Makan Kitchen, guests may also choose to relax with their favorite tipple and light snacks at the Axis Lounge, or satiate their appetites at the laid-back, café-styled The Food Store which offers a selection of ‘grab-and-go’ snacks and gourmet sandwiches, perfect to bring along when exploring the island’s places of attractions.
Holidaymakers from families to FIT (Free Independent Travelers) travelers can also bask in the unrivalled mix of recreational and relaxation facilities like the wellness spa, fitness center and landscaped outdoor pool (complete with an artificial beach for both adults and children).
The resort also offers meetings and events facilities with a ballroom to accommodate up to 550 guests and three function spaces covering an area of more than 5,000 square feet in total, making it an ideal venue for private, social events and seminars.
