Double Tree Resort by Hilton Penang

10:11:00 AM

When you have kids, 10 minutes of time out feels like a luxury. Every minutes are so precious. We had this stay cation planned many weeks ago since Juan is joining his company's quarterly team building area the same area.

Over the last weekend, I had the opportunity to spend the night at the new Double Tree Resort by Hilton. I had it booked 2 weeks ago through Bookings.com. It was on a good deal, RM300++ without breakfast. We didn't plan to have breakfast in house. But during our check in, Juan suggested that we should just stay in since everyone were tired. So we added the breakfast during our check in. It was worth it. The breakfast spread was really good and there were so many choices. Mostly are my favorite.

Double Tree Resort took over the site from the previous hotel, Hydro Majestic hotel hence Penangite would be familiar with the building itself.

Juan had team building that morning while me and #babyjedi stayed at home. Our plan was to meet him at Copthorne Orchid around 2pm. But I decided to drive to his place earlier because #babyjedi was so clingy that I couldn't get my housework done. However I managed to complete one pumping session. Phheewww :-). He wasn't well too. Had fever the night before so the reason why he was extra clingy.

Double Tree Penang has 316 rooms and suites, equipped with WiFi, private furnished balcony and partial or full sea views. You can choose spacious suite for a separate living area, balcony, walk-in shower and bathtub. But all these are based on availability. You'll also receive a chocolate chip cookie upon check in and they're really delicious, served warm and crunchy with hazelnut in it. So you can taste it's freshness.

It is a family themed resort with a Sand Lounge (artificial beach), Kids Zone; Water Park as well as a TeddyVille; Malaysia’s 1st teddy bear museum.

The room itself was sooo spacious that you can fit around 4 to 5 person. The sofa seat is a bed itself when you pull it out and can fit 2 person each time. I didn't capture it here. Each bed has 2 pillows and the bed is super single size but European version. The room also has choices of tea and coffee and a mini bar in a built in (hidden) cupboard, beside the TV.

TV channel also comprises sports, cartoon, movies and local channels. So you can actually spend you day at the hotel without going out because there are tonnes of activities available. There is also gym for health junkies, swimming pool, kids club which open from 10am till 7pm. So you can leave your kids there and get a private moment with your spouse.

Compliment toiletries were from Crabtree and Evelyn. I had to sneak the lotion home cause it smells soooo good. I wanted take all but I had too many hotel toiletries at home that are yet to be used. The shower was spacious and cozy with high pressure rainfall shower head. Basic amenities like toothbrush, shower cap, sanitary plastic are available at the sink but for others like sewing kit, are upon request.
