We got the Rasa Wing and not the Garden Wing!...
so it's like one of the best rooms in malaysia, of course not counting "suites" and other such special rooms in other resorts...

The Resort Julie's meeting was held was the Shangri-la Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa, situated at the Batu Ferringi Beach about 20 minutes from Penang town, Malaysia. (added due to comment)

unlike the previous post, the room we got looks like this :

The room was huge... i think area wise ... almost as big as our entire first level in our house!... that means the dining + living + kitchen and even our maids room. The room was split into 5 areas... first is the luggage and cupboards area, the sitting area, the bed area, a balcony cum soak pool, and the toilet. All.. Huge areas by itself. The first hotel i have been into with the now obligatory LCD, not so hot wired internet access... the wireless connection is only at the lounge... (but i guess u would rather work there, with all the free drinks and food they serve)

cool eh!

Here julie is contemplating which bath we should take later...

By far... of ALL the resorts we have been... yep... this has been, bar none the BEST & a most spectacular 2 nights stay! the Shangri-la in KK (Rasa Ria) where we stayed 2 years ago isn't as posh as this... but was similarly charming.

the welcome drink we had... chinese tea! with a note on the health benefits...

The "Bath" all prepared... we chose "Relaxing Lavender"

The resort itself was beautifully landscaped... great swimming pools (3 all together) and a very nice beach... the newly designed landscape also had a super venue for a garden wedding.

If u stay at the Rasa Wing, u get free unlimited drinks at the lounge from 7am-11pm. Alcoholic beverages are served from 11am - 5pm!. U get hi-tea from 3-5pm. Breakfast is included... u can either take a buffet breakfast at the Spice Garden or an ala carte breakfast at their Ferringgi Grill and breakfast is from 7-11am.

the hi-tea I had... "english" hi-tea... it was... with coffee!

At the lounge for snacks before leaving

my first ever champagne & ala-carte breakfast at Ferringi Grill

so... in short! yes... it was worth the "suffering" we had to endure... & if u are ever in the place to spend on life's little luxuries... don't let the rm1000 per night rate put u off... One Rasa Wing room can easily accomodate a 2adults+3kids... comfortably... + u get all the free perks... a venue well worth coming back!

Hannah enjoyed herself ... Phoebe... well... cried less...
and we ALL throughly Enjoyed our stay!
