Rainbow Paradise Beach Resort Penang

REVIEWS

Nov 2015 (wedding with photos): Penang has become a second home to us and we have many local and expat friends on the Island. The decision to get married on the Island was made, and our second home, Rainbow Paradise became an obvious choice to hold the event. And what a choice it turned out to be, the wedding was all we expected and much, much more. All who attended were blown away by what the Resort was able to put in place. Our wedding being Australian in style with an Asian influence was a little different than what they were used to. It was a beach garden wedding with a bbq and smorgasbord dinner. 55 people attended in all [25 from Australia and a small number from UK along with a large number of local friends]’. The wedding is still being talked about 3 weeks later by ALL who attended and everybody had a blast. The garden setting as set up by the hotel along with the dinner venue was fantastic. The flowers they provided, the food, the service provided by resort staff was amazing. There was not a hitch and we are so grateful to Rohim, Keshvinder and Maria who did all the groundwork. The bulk of this wedding was arranged in our absence by original instruction in March and then a handful of email’s. Thank you all for a wonderful effort and amazing night.

Aug 2018: The lobby is airy and open with good breeze from the sea, the central restaurant area with its palm trees and greenery which extends to the pool is most welcoming. At check in the reception was friendly and efficient. The hotel is a little tired looking, and only two out of the three lifts were working. We love the location of the hotel, halfway between busy Georgetown and touristy Batu Ferringhi, and more convenient to travel around

compared to Batu Ferringhi. The beach was surprisingly clean, it’s great to watch the sunrise and sunset there. Hotel provides a very limiting shuttle service so it is much easier and cheaper to get a Grab (equivalent of Uber) to get around town than the service stationed at the hotel entrance.
