Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is Rainbow Paradise Beach Resort?
The address is 527 Jalan Tanjung Bungah, 11200 Penang. It is on the Tanjung Bungah beachfront on Penang's north coast, on the main coast road between the George Town heritage area and Batu Ferringhi, with MSocial (formerly Copthorne Orchid) on one side and Flamingo Hotel By The Beach on the other.
Is it actually on the beach?
Yes. The resort's own booking site describes it as located right at Tanjung Bungah beach and lists beach access and a beach bar among its facilities.
How many rooms does it have, and what types?
The resort's own booking system lists 205 suites in three tiers: Primrose Studio, Petunias Paradise Suite and Periwinkle Family Suite. Note that published figures differ — the local guide penang-traveltips.com and several booking sites give 315 suites and use the older names Deluxe Studio Suite, Deluxe Paradise Suite and Deluxe Family Suite. Treat the exact count as uncertain.
Do the rooms have sea views?
The resort states that its suites come with a private balcony offering a view of the ocean and the hills. It does not say every suite faces the sea, so confirm the aspect when you book.
What facilities are there for families?
The resort lists a swimming pool with a children's area, direct beach access, a gym and a family suite category. It also lists a concierge, gift shop, massage service and a doctor on request.
Where can I eat at the resort?
The resort's own facilities list names Mangrove Cafe and a beach bar, plus a vending machine for snacks and drinks. Older listings on local guide sites also mention Breeze Cafe, Gaya's Beach Side Bar & Restaurant and Planters Lounge, but these are not confirmed on the resort's current booking site, so check what is open when you arrive.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is at 12 noon, as published on the resort's booking system.
How far is it from the airport and from George Town?
The resort says Penang International Airport is about a 45-minute drive away and Gurney Drive is about 10 minutes away. Neither is walkable — you will want Grab, a taxi or the bus along Jalan Tanjung Bungah.
