There is an additional bathroom connected to the living room area. The furnished living room has comfortable seating with cable TV & a DVD player and large windows. This unit also features a full kitchen, 2-in-1 washer and dryer, iron & ironing board, and hairdryer.

This unit is well-suited for single occupancy, a couple, or a small family with young children (two small floor mattresses will be provided upon request).

In addition to the aforementioned, the following will be provided:
- WiFi access
- Towels & linens
- Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash
- Welcome water bottles & fruit
- Free parking garage access card (when requested)
- Collection of books & DVDs
- First Aid Kit

Our corner unit is slightly larger than other 1 bd/2 bt units in the Marina Suites.

Guests have access to a beautiful infinity-pool that is located in a terrace lined with frangipani trees. There is a children's pool and bathroom and showers for residents and guests. There is also a tennis court, fully-equipped gym, outdoor seating, and lounge seats.

On each floor, there is a lounging area with several sofas and a marina and ocean view.


****THE AREA****

The Marina Suites at Straits Quay is a development by the famous E&O Hotel Group and touts incredible design and aesthetic sentiments. The unit is located right above easily-accessible waterfront restaurants, cafes, bars, boutiques, massage parlors, hair salons, bike rental, and Sam's Groceria (a grocery store with local and Western goods). Tesco and other restaurants are less than a ten minute walk away.

The neighborhood around Straits Quay is very clean, safe, and convenient in its closeness to restaurants and other amenities. Take the kids to Straits Green, a free and clean water play area walking distance from the apartment. And don't forget to enjoy a walk day or night by the water, on paved walkways.

Our unit is in a wonderful location as it is located in between George Town and Batu Ferringhi, and down the road from Gurney. Spend a few days exploring the historical UNESCO city and a few more walking along the beaches or checking out The Tropical Spice Garden, The Penang Butterfly Farm, or ESCAPE Theme Park on the other side of the island.


*****GETTING AROUND*****

1) BUS
Rapid Bus line 102 picks up right outside Straits Quay. Rapid Bus line 101 picks up across from Tesco (about 10 minute walk). Both of these buses will take you either towards Batu Ferringhi or towards town where upon they will eventually stop at the Komtar Bus Terminal (where you can catch any other bus). There is also a Penang Hop and Hop Off bus stop for the beach route a few steps outside the unit!

2) Grab Malaysia
If you have mobile data we recommend downloading the Grab app to your phone. Drivers are much more affordable than taxis on the island and the service is highly recommended.

3) TAXIS
If buses don't suit you or if you don't have mobile data there are always taxis that can be found right outside of Straits Quay.



NOTE:

Discounts are provided for a week-stay and a month-long stay!

Great apartment in a fantastic location!
Fantastic resort and a really nice apartment. Susanna was very welcoming to my wife and I. Fantastic pool in the complex which was great for early swims ( and later ones too). Easy reach of most area on public transport if needed or grab a cab! Highly recommend this place to others!

Had a great stay - comfortable apartment, terrific location!
My husband and I stayed here for 10 days , enjoying all the comforts of home in a clean and roomy 1 bedroom apartment. The location above Straits Quay Mall and Marina , was so good as many restaurants, grocers and specialty shops were on our doorstep. Most enjoyable to sit downstairs on ground floor of the mall , overlooking the water. Tesco was a 5 minute walk away and Convenient to Rapid Penang bus service 101 caught out front to take you to Georgetown or north to Batu Ferringhi and further. The 102 service however, which swings by Straits Quay was “elusive “ . Grab or Uber cabs are also available. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.
