The Gurney Resort Hotel & Residences @ Penang

When the queen was here during her holiday, we decided to drive to 'The Pearl of the Orient'. This time round, we wanted to spend one night in Penang's most happening social area, Gurney Drive. However, we didn't book any hotel earlier, so we just walked-in to The Gurney Resort Hotel & Residences which is located along the renowned tourist belt of Gurney Drive.

#15 Hokkien Prawn Mee,

The next day, I wanted to go for an early morning jog take a stroll along the coast and enjoy the sea breeze. But, that night I slept very well. In fact, too well and I woke up at one-hour-before-check-out-time!!!



#18 So I got into the Jacuzzi again. While I was enjoying water massage, I opened the curtain and looked out of the window.... gosh! It has a breathtaking view of the sea and sky!

The views from every corner of the suite are fantastic!
