Georgetown, the capital of Penang is a charming city with a rich colonial past, it is an Unesco World Hertitage site. Penang is also famous for its' wide and varied selection of food, especially if you like street / hawker food.

We spent a week at Miami Green in April. We are actually moving to Penang in August to take up jobs so this was a scouting mission as much as a holiday for us. Mimai Green itslef is well situated, close to all the holiday resort facilties at Ferringhi Beach and within easy distance of Gergetown. We hired a car and this was a big help as we could explore the island at our leisure. The apartment was excellent: spotlessly clean, spacious (we went with our two teenage daughters) and with enough essential provisions to last us until we were able to get to Tescos. The agents called round on the first morning and were extremely helpful. All the staff at Miami Green were also very helpful and friendly. We spent quite a bit of time by the pool, which is very large and equipped with plenty of sun loungers. The gym is very well equipped. We loved it so much that we have decided to rent an apartment in Miami Green for ourselves when we return to live in Penang full-time. I would certainly recommend Miami Green and Penang for a very relaxing yet also very interesting holiday. |

Guestbook for Miami Green
This apartment is ideally placed for a quiet, relaxing holiday. We knew how much we were going to enjoy it on the first morning when we walked the 5 minutes down to the beach and left footprints in the newly washed sand, where you can also buy drinks and hawker food. The rest of the holiday just confirmed our very good first impression. The facilities are great, 2 very nice swimming pools, a gym and a small shop; an excellent restaurant in the hotel next door, and on the beach.
We spent many hours just sitting on the balcony - it was so quiet and relaxing - enjoying the warmth and the peace. The apartment has all the facilities that you need, including a very efficient washing machine. There are 3 comfortable bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom, and a spacious sitting and dining area. It's all easy to manage, airy and you feel instantly at home.
The Georgetown bus that you can get by the beach, passes a large Tescos where you can buy everything you might need, but the choice of restaurants and cafes in the area is both extensive and inexpensive. We had a salad lunch at a German Bar which included a soft drink for about £2 per head.
We found the people everywhere lovely and helpful, (the welcome and farewell salutes from the security guards at Miami Green make you feel very special).
The Shopping Malls... we liked Gurney Plaza the best, and enjoyed some real bargains at sale time, but there are some excellent deals to be had in Georgetown on Penang Rd too. The textiles are unbelievable and we staggered away with bags full.
The island has plenty of sights to visit and enjoy.
We really appreciated the airport transfer service. The warmth of the welcome was fantastic and made a great start to our holiday.
All in all 2 weeks based in the 'home form home' that is Miami Green was just not long enough - but then there's a very good excuse to go back again.

"The place is very comfortable and welcoming. Very clean and it has all the things there that we needed. It also had food in the fridge which is very helpful for hungry unprepared travellers like us. The main swimming pool was a winner and will definitely entertain a whole family not to mention the kids slide and pool. It has got everything for a relaxing holiday - spa, gym and sauna. Greatly recommended for a family who are looking for a quiet getaway. I wish I wasn't that busy swimming so I had more time to read the well picked novels on the bookcase in the apartment!"
The Caparas Family, Melbourne Australia, Dec 2011
We really enjoyed our time in Miami Green. We have been travelling for 5 months now and needed a place to settle down and call home so the apartment was wonderful - cozy and very well equipped. I even cooked a few meals, which wasn't something I thought I'd be doing in the food capital of Malaysia. Your agents were very easy to deal with; especially considering it was busy Chinese New Year. We would definitely recommend the apartment. Thank you again for everything.
