About About the place

Monkey Beach is a coastal destination located within Penang National Park, accessible via a scenic hike through the park or by boat. The beach features white sand and calm waters suitable for swimming, and is known for its resident monkey population. While offering a relaxed atmosphere with small cafes serving food and drinks, it frequently experiences overcrowding, particularly during peak season. Concerns regarding cleanliness and the presence of litter are common, and visitors should be aware that the monkeys can be opportunistic with food. Despite its potential, the beach's natural appeal is sometimes diminished by over-commercialization and environmental issues.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!

I had to stay at this hotel last day because I got stuck here for some work. So I had no advance booking done or anything of that sort but these people were so nice to accommodate me on last minute things and also updated my room to better and made sure I had a good stay. The staff was very friendly and it was an unbelievable experience and I will definitely visit again.. If there is one way to describe my visit, it would be unbelievable. This place was just extraordinarily amazing and beautiful. The gorgeous locations, the history associated with the places, the super fun tourist spots, the delicious cuisine, warm and friendly people and to top it all, the kind hospitality we received, I am just so happy and joyful about my vacation here.. Our trip to this magnificent city was unbelievable. We had a wonderful time enjoying the various beautiful sites of the city. The location and the scenery here is stunning and the people are warm and welcoming. We stayed at this beautiful place where everyone made our time special. The local cuisine is a must try.

This is an excellent restaurant which is the new opening in the town and also the talk of the town. The delicacies prepared here are awesome and delicious. The chefs have all come from outside and serve the best of gourmet food. It was exotic and tasty array of food and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Just awesome!!

This is a perfect hike with great trails and beautiful sceneries. Every view along the way is beautiful and if you don’t soak in the beauty, you will miss it. There is a gorgeous waterfall along the trail where the pathways are paved perfectly for the trail. The hiking experience was outstanding and we really liked and enjoyed our time.

The camp is built at a beautiful location and there are lots to do here. There are several activities you can take part in and also choose to go on a guided hike which is a great way to spend some time in the middle of nature. The scenic views are just amazing here and you fall in love with the serenity of this place.
