thanks for the replies, my friend looked around and we found out renting a bungalow is cheaper (especially since there's 10 of us) ! a bungalow in Penang Hills (if I'm not mistaken) is about RM700/night so its like RM70/person per night!

just a little worried about the traffic on 24-26th Jan as its the weekend before CNY and we plan to drive up to Penang. And the dates aren't flexible as some of them not busy and some are working .

also anyone familiar with Penang can give some tips on where best to go have fun playing water sports and snorkelling(if available, and preferably all in the same area ) and also roughly the prices? Since we're going just 3d we want to be sure where to go so we don't lose time on the 2nd day!

hi guys, need some help,

i will travel to Penang via flight this friday, arriving at Bayan Lepas Airport at 4.30pm. from there, i need to go to Cinta Sayang Resort in Sungai Petani, Kedah to attend a dinner at 8pm.

can anyone help me point out how to get to the resort from the Penang Airport other than taking the airport taxi/limo? from what i've searched online, the ride will cost me from RM130 to RM150, which is quite a lot.
