Alunan Resort All Inclusive (2 Night Min.)

Very nice location with a lot of excursions possibilities. Food selection could be better, e.g. sunset restaurant offers only Italian food.

Good place to stay

The warm service that started from the jetty office in Kuala Besut, to the warm welcome and introduction at the resort, right up to the farewell , really contributed to our family's great stay here in Alunan. The room was nice, plenty of space for everyone too (we stayed in a quadruple room), despite the walk up to the room (NOT recommended for senior citizens) The trip guides, boat captains were very friendly too. the Captain even made recommendation n took us to Teluk Keke, when our snorkelling trip was cancelled due to earlier choppy waters. The coral guardians were very kind to share with us so much about corals, and entertaining all our questions. the F&B Staffs too were happy people. so it made the food n drinks all the yummier We will defintely be back, in better weather season! Thank you for a wonderful holiday !

Reach Alunan office at Besut jetty. Place our luggage there and someone came with motorbike to take us to parking place. RM10 per car per day for parking. Smooth arrangement and we depart by boat to Alunan Perhentian Kecil. All luggage arrange by their staff. Very good for as first impression. Reach Alunan about 30 minutes and been greet by FO staff. Bring us to Reception and brief us about activities and others. Nice and so sedap the welcome drinks. Personalize check in with smile from the staff. Room was clean and smell good. Food was good. The main valuable asset for Alunan is their staff. Keep it up

Booked All Inclusive package. The staff were generally warm, both in kuala besut office and Perhentian island, there were a lot of stairs and very steep ramps to go to rooms. The room we had is spacious and there are stairs that leads up to the balcony.nice view and can hang wet clothes to dry. The package includes unlimited food and beverage, no in room dining. The food is average overall, we didn't get to have western/Italian food for dinner due to the weather, the restaurant was closed.Wonder why can't they just cook at the main kitchen(Bayu restaurant). So we sort of lose out here.However, we did get to have it on the last night there, once out of 3 nights. The teh tarik at bayu restaurant was nice. Our package included unlimited snorkeling trips too, the trips are twice a day,with different islands for each trip.Unfortunately in Sept, the weather was bad, 🌧 every evening .Snorkeling trip and sunset cruise were cancelled. So we did batik painting, played congkak, foosball, adopt corals and just hang out at the beach. Oh, glass bottom tour is highly recommended as we get to see and have better understanding on the corals. In summary, we enjoyed our time in Perhentian but I don't think that the package is worth it if you go in Sept. Especially if you don't take alcoholic drinks.

We had a wonderful stay at this island resort. The staff were really helpful during the stay, especially during check-in and -out, since we were traveling with elderly family members and four kids. They made everything easy and smooth. The food was good, and the snorkeling trip was well-organized. It was also great that we could snorkel right off the beach thanks to their coral program. Kids are excited to see baby sharks around the resort jetty area. This time around, we went with the bed and breakfast option because our kids are still young, but next time, we’ll probably go for the all-inclusive package as it seems my kids were able to adapt to the excursion trips given the larger boats. Overall, we had a great time and hope to come back soon.

Oh what a lovely place! Fishes, baby sharks, crabs, sting rays right in the waters by the hotel. Crystal clear waters. Nestled on a hill, you can enjoy short walks across the jungle to the village - flora and fauna to enjoy, to explore. A place for those who enjoys walks, exploration - us! and of course relax back at the clean, comfortable rooms. We enjoyed the Italian. western dinner. The yummy pizzas during teabreak. A HUGE THANK YOU for making our family stay an enjoyable one.

We stayed at the pool view villas for our family holidays this year. The reservation staff, Laili, was very helpful and professional in arranging for our logistics for our party of 12. Everything went well with the airport transfer and ferry to the resort. The location is amazing with a fantastic view of the sea. However the resort is on a hillside so be ready for lots of stairs! There are 2 restaurants but only one open at a time. Breakfast buffet is adequate but not lavish. The lunch menu has a good mix of local and western fare. Tea and dinner is at the seaside restaurant. Dinner is good with good options for seafood and meat platters. Pizzas are available if you need some snacks in the afternoon. We took the all inclusive and the food options were okay. For those who drink alcohol though the options for wines is very limited and not to our taste at all. The F&B manager was accommodative and did provide some other wines for our party on the last day of our stay. There were many excursions available and also coral adoption, batik painting. More than enough to keep busy if that’s what you want. The pool was great but there is no real beach. You can get a water taxi to the nearby Long Beach for that. Overall it was a good holiday and the staff were very helpful and friendly throughout!
