Angsana Teluk Bahang Penang

Great location as long as you get a hire car, although this is not recommended for someone with limited driving experience or no experience of driving on Asian Roads. It is slightly on the outskirts but right on the beach. Check in very easy and the suite was large and very good. And generally the hotel is very well maintained. The breakfast that comes with the suite was excellent. However the same restaurant turned into a fine dining restaurant in the evening, where the prices were high and the potions small, although the food was good. The other dining option is the buffet, we stayed during Ramadan so it was absolutely rammed in the evenings, most of the food seemed tailored to this event with very limited Western options. I also did not take to kindly to being asked if I had booked on the last night ( which nobody mentioned beforehand !) we were stuffed in a corner of the overflow dining room which spent most of it’s time as the Ballroom. The vast majority of the staff were polite, very helpful and efficient.

Room was lovely, clean, quiet, and well organised. Service was okay outside of the room, average in the restaurant (all staff seemed to be on their first night and didn't know anything) but abysmal for service into the room. On multiple nights we tried to call room service, front desk and every number and there was just never any answer at any time after 7pm. Incredible. Each time had to go downstairs and complain to the lady on the front desk and ask why she was not answering. All she could do was mumble an apology...

Beautiful hotel with amazing pool.

Great Hotel for a weekend trip with great beach and facilities.

If you stay here, you must book a sea view balcony room….the ocean view day and night is beautiful…since it’s on a public beach, you sometimes get firework show from the locals too. The bed is so comfortable and enough room to sleep three. We had minor problems with a clogged sink and a broken shampoo dispenser but that was quickly resolved once we notified housekeeping (A on the response and even tidied up our bed). The infinity pool and children’s pool kept everyone very happy and cool. If you only have time for one excursion, it should be a hike in the Penang National Park. For dinner, make that reservation for the shuttle to night market. It’s free round trip 6-9pm. This is important if you want to grab some souvenirs and inexpensive local Malaysian food. Breakfast at resort has a wide variety of Asian and Western dishes…but go before 8:30am or near closing time at 10:30 to avoid the long lines. Food onsite is very pricy and not necessarily everyone’s cup of tea. Speaking of Afternoon Tea….it was underwhelming. It was not quite English nor Malaysian. I left hungry….we learned to love Grab Eats and the Night Market for food. Overall, a very relaxing resort with beautiful ocean views. Only need to improve on minor details. Lastly, I wish front desk would check and ask how we are doing and if we needed anything.

Remote and peaceful.

We had a nice stay at Angsana in Jan 2025 in a 2br suite. Positives: Suite was large and well appointed, with comfy beds, price was reasonable, infinity pool was nice, beautiful view and F&B quality was excellent. Negatives: service was really slow at the F&B outlets (no criticism of individual staff who were lovely but there were insufficient staff / inefficient processes) resort doesn’t seem to be very well maintained with dirty / stained sun loungers, loose decking boards at pool, and we found the poolside area was not cleaned daily. Location was also a negative, there is nothing in Teluk Bahang really, so you end up in Batu Ferringhi each night for dining options. Also, the beach was dirty and swimming not recommended due to jellyfish. A stormwater drain emptied into the water right in front of the pool and we could see from our room it polluting the beach right in front of the hotel. Overall the resort was nice enough and we had a relaxing stay but it is not five star level in terms of service and maintenance of the resort, and the location means we wouldn’t return.

Nice resort with excellent service. Free area shuttle. There are some nearby attractions. We went to Entopia and loved it. No restaurants within a short walk but a short grab ride can take us to many local restaurants. We were so happy trying the grilled stingray at Yu Xiang Little Kitchen. Will stay here again when visiting Penang.

Second time staying here and is the perfect location to get away. Local bus comes frequently at front of the property to night markets and George town

It was away from the hustle and bustle but still close by to the entertainment, shopping and dining options in the area. The views were mesmerising and staff went above and beyond especially Rafah and Aiman who helped us moment we walked through until the time we left.

Excellent

This is a large popular hotel with beach access and good facilities. It is popular with families and at some times of the day feels a little “package” holiday with lots of noise from pool areas and very busy breakfast areas BUT it is possible to escape the crowd and find a space to relax. The onsite parking is good and staff are friendly. The rooms are large, clean and well maintained, bathrooms are spotless and views just lovely.

Room, scenery is awesome Staff also very helpful

A relaxing stay

I truly enjoyed the view from our room. The carpentry and interiors were well done. I love that they have a nice long enough table for us to eat together complete with crockery and cutlery. Bathrooms are huge! And almost every part of the hotel opens out to the sea which is nice. Lastly. they have polite and hardworking housekeeping reps. Masum did a great job sweeping the sands off our floor and even took time to fold some clothes strewn around. And the concierge rep at the drop off was very friendly and helpful, think his name was Zulfi.

This is a large resort style hotel with good facilities that is popular with families at the weekend. Rooms are clean and well maintained and beds very comfortable. Perched on the beach a short drive from a number of attractions the location at the north of Penang Island is slightly less developed than elsewhere on the island. The front of house staff are friendly and helpful. As a base to explore the Angsana is ideal.

Our stay at Angsana was exceptional! The staff were incredibly attentive, making every moment special with their warmth and professionalism. The setting was stunning, with breathtaking views from the infinity pool, surrounded by lush greenery. It truly felt like a serene paradise—perfect for a luxurious getaway. Highly recommended!

The location was next to the beach and the kids enjoyed playing at the beach. Breakfast spread was good with many options and the room was just excellent!

To be honest, it was a bit disappointing. The resort is beautiful and when it opened it was probably top notch. But it isn’t being looked after to the standard it aspires to. The room wasn’t close to being clean enough for the hotel grade and the price paid. There were surface things like children’s hand prints on doors and windows but longer term issue like black mold in the shower and the high windows looked as if they hadn’t been cleaned in months. I’ve worked in a hotel and know that the cleaning staff often have the hardest job with too little time and the lowest wages, so for me this is a failure of management. I’ve stayed in 3 hotels during my stay in Malaysia and paid the most for this one. The other 2 have exceeded my expectations, but this one disappointed. As it was my 40th Birthday I paid to upgrade to a better room but it wasn’t worth the money. It’s sad because it could be an incredible place but for me, having a clean room is one of the most important things I need from a hotel and this place just felt a bit grubby.

Great hotel for a relax staycation at the beach. We had a room with a private balcony overlooking the beach. The breakfast buffet was really good, with a great variety of options. The infinity pool is a must. We didn't really go to the beach or swim in the ocean because of jellyfish. The staff was super friendly and always available to help us and answer our questions. We really enjoyed our stay and will definetely come back.
