Each day there is a programme of activities including jungle and beach walks, croquet, volleyball, yoga, table tennis and badminton.

As well as being located on the Battu Ferringhi Beach, the resort has two swimming pools and a Splash Zone for children complete with water slides, water cannons and water sprayers.

As part of Shangri-La's corporate social responsibility, the hotel supports a welfare organisation for under privileged families and has created a Turtle Care Project to increase the survival rate of hatchlings.

To get out and explore, we’d recommend the Jungle Walk*. It’s a two to three-hour morning walk, so it’s a good one for nature loving older children.

Families of three can share a Superior Room here, with a child up to 12 in a rollaway bed. Or, choose a Deluxe Room and you’ll have a pull-down bed that can be folded away in the day. These come with a balcony overlooking the gardens and pools. Executive Seaview Rooms are higher up with great views. For larger families and groups, there are some interconnecting rooms available.

Cool Zone Kids' Club: Open between 9.30am and 9pm, the kids' club at Shangri-La Golden Sands is complimentary for children aged 5-12 and includes two meals. There are a variety of fun activities to be enjoyed, including traditional Malaysian games, a Little Chef session, kite flying, pool games, sand sculpture, story telling sessions and much more.

There is a nine-hole pitch and putt golf course with holes ranging in length from 27 to 64 metres. There is also a practice green.

Minimum stay: 3 nights 21 Dec-04 Jan.

A tourist tax is payable at the resort.
