Travel Tips

  • Book E&O Hotel or Seven Terraces at least 2 weeks in advance — they fill up on weekends.
  • Mention honeymoon on booking — many Penang hotels add rose petals or complimentary dessert.
  • Kebaya Dining Room must be pre-booked; they sometimes offer honeymoon table settings.
  • The Blue Mansion photography light is best between 9–11am when the courtyard is sunlit.
  • Penang Hill at dawn is your most romantic memory — be there before 8am.
