Stayed at Eastern and Oriental Hotel - Penang, Malaysia.

The weekend we were in Penang was phenomenal, with Deepavali (Indian New Year), Hari Raya, and other end of Ramadan festivities; sure, it meant we didn't know what would be open when, but the carnival atmosphere more than compensated.
One of our best expeditions was to the Tropical Spice Gardens, about 3 kms out of Batu Ferringhi. The gardens have only been open for a year or so, but feel like a pristine rainforest (apart from the giant swing!). You can do a spice walk, a jungle walk, or a flower walk - they're all quite easy. The gardens are gorgeous; ancient cycads, incredible plants and lots of spice plants. It's cool and quiet, and as major foodies, it was a not-to-be-missed excursion. The cafe has spectacular views over the bay, and great food.

Lots of kids and overall a pretty boring place for single people.

Stayed at Cititel Penang - Penang, Malaysia.

Georgetown is now cleaner as before 10 years and the streets are good. If you come to THAIPUSAM Festival you enjoy the celebration with the Hindu-Pepole. A Day Trip to Batu Ferringi and Fruit Farm are intresting. The best exercices to do is a walk to the Penang Hill from Botanical Garden. 8 km strong walk to the peak.

Stayed at Ferringhi Beach Hotel, Penang - Penang, Malaysia.

Top places for food would be sea-food at Teluk Bahang and Batu Maung; varieties at Gurney Drive and some gems alongside the beach of Feringhi. Places to visit would be Bukit Bendera, Botanical Garden and Buterfly Farm. Recommendation : do not go during Festive or school holidays if you want more peace of mind!
