Guest UserThe hotel is huge with excellent, new facilities, including 3 pools and 2 beaches (requiring a ten-minute climb up and down stairs). The amenities are comprehensive. The butler service was also great – they were responsive to all requests, even via WeChat, which was a nice touch. Breakfast was plentiful. Overall, it's very private, keeping outsiders out, and there are plenty of staff providing good service. These are the pros.
However, during my two-day stay, there was a wedding. The main pool, gym, and yoga room were closed. The shuttle sometimes took 20 minutes to arrive, and the place was packed with people everywhere. On top of that, my pre-booked 12 PM boat transfer was inexplicably canceled, pushing me to the 2 PM slot, which was incredibly crowded and chaotic. I almost didn't get a spot.
It seems the hotel failed to properly coordinate the wedding experience with the regular guest experience, completely disregarding the latter.

Guest UserI would like to sincerely thank you for the wonderful hospitality, friendliness, and helpful service throughout my wife’s and my stay at Tanjong Jara Resort. From the smooth check-in until check-out, every moment made our stay truly enjoyable, memorable, and relaxing.
We had a very happy experience at the resort and would highly recommend Tanjong Jara Resort to our family and friends. It is definitely one of the best resort choices in Terengganu.
Special thanks and appreciation to Ai Li, Umah, Haziq, Ruzly, Angel, Amira, Athir, Yusri, Yanna, Khairi, and Aidil for their excellent service, warm hospitality, and dedication in making our stay so pleasant.
Thank you once again, and we hope to visit again in the future 😊

RoszaimyThe stay was great and hassle free especially if you arrive at Pasir Panjang jetty (Long Beach) then it’s just a few minutes walk to the reception. Room was great but not exactly a wow affair. Daily replenishment of canned drinks and some snacks by the housekeeping service. A few complaints: The wifi in the room was horrible because they had multiple SSID and some of them did not work. Even going from the bedroom to the balcony require finding a different SSID. I suggest that the hotel hire a proper network tech who can advise on getting a unified Wifi SSID. It’s 2026. The technology is already there. Also the A/C compressor is placed at the same vicinity where you would sit so the blowing hot air was like a sauna. Suggestion for improvement: Put in water dispenser so that you don’t need to provide too many plastic bottles per day. I’ve seen some hotels and resorts doing this so it’s not beyond the realm of possibility. Just imagine how many plastic bottles being disposed everyday for such a small island. Overall, great little hotel/resort with nice view and excellent, modern architecture. There were just some niggling issues and practices that could easily be fixed, in my opinion.

Guest UserOverall, our stay was positive. However, the first rooms our family was assigned were dirty (windows, plumbing, stained furniture, dust), the towels were grey, and the mattress had a musty smell in places. BUT, I must emphasize that this was the *only* disappointment, and it was resolved within a couple of hours!
We extend our immense gratitude to the hotel management and especially to Mr. Bryan, who upgraded us to a Premier room with two bedrooms and a living room. This room had been recently renovated and was spotlessly clean, with a new mattress and comfortable pillows. Bottled water was provided in the room, and in the evenings, staff brought delicious chocolates and prepared the room for bedtime. We slept wonderfully; it was perfectly quiet, and the bay view was breathtaking!
I want to highlight the dinner buffet (130 RM per person): an excellent selection of main courses, soups, quality desserts, ice cream, tea, coffee, and water. Please offer these dinners more often! We also ordered pizza to the room, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The dishes at the Indian restaurant were small and could have been better.
The bay is beautiful, and the water is a fantastic color. The hotel provides free life jackets and kayaks, and you can swim and even see sea turtles. The hotel also offered a free shuttle to and from Village Jetty. We spent three wonderful days at the hotel and didn't want to leave!
Our suggestions for management would be to update all the rooms and to clean and repaint the sun loungers. Mr. Bryan, thank you again for your help and care in resolving our issues! The hotel service is 10/10.

Guest UserSo, how about PIR? Let's start with the pros. The sea view is unbeatable, and it has its own long stretch of beach. I'd say it's the second-best on Perhentian Island, right after Long Beach, and definitely better than the two beaches below the Marriott. I even saw sea turtles, sharks, Nemo, and schools of fish while snorkeling – very satisfying! There are also monkeys, squirrels, lizards, and other small animals behind the resort.
The staff were very helpful, assisting with luggage from the jetty to the room and again at check-out, which was great. PIR also offers water taxi and island hopping tours, and the prices are quite reasonable.
You can also walk to other restaurants for meals. A whole fish cost 80 MYR, which is much cheaper than the 200 MYR at the Marriott.
Now for the cons. PIR's breakfast is absolutely terrible. Besides fried eggs, I really didn't know what to eat, though the watermelon was decent. Their regular meals are okay, similar in taste to Mama's. The soundproofing is definitely poor; you can hear conversations from the next room and even the sound of the waves. Also, the bed sheets weren't very clean. I'd recommend bringing your own bedding.

The room is large, with a courtyard, and a little bit of a Maldivian feel, but no hair dryer was found. The food is good, the taste is OK, the ingredients are fresh, and it is slightly more expensive than other nearby restaurants. The service is still quite enthusiastic, especially the on-demand food service staff for breakfast, who are very enthusiastic and proactively ask if there are any dishes that need to be ordered. Proactive service is precious and feels very good. However, the front desk service is perfunctory, seemingly enthusiastic but not solving the problem. After waiting for a long time, no one took the initiative to tell us that we can check in. We went to the front desk to ask, and a few chatty waitresses smiled and said that it was ok now. When we left, we missed the boat because the front desk arranged to wait for the water taxi. Obviously, we were very anxious and asked many times, but the front desk told us that there was no problem. The boat is often late. I asked them to call the shipping company to inform us that we have not boarded the boat yet, and I guess there was no communication. I was speechless. The service to customers should not be just superficial enthusiasm. I hope to really solve problems for guests instead of creating problems.

Stayed for 3 nights. Overall, this place has so much potential. The kampung ambience is so peaceful and inviting. The old Istana (palace) transformed into rooms gave the kampung lifestyle feels. Just walking distance to the beach and the scenery of the whole resort is tranquil. Nevertheless, suggest to clean and restore the pond around the resort. Re-do the whole landscaping around the resort and plant all the local flowers, fruit trees and herbal plants. And to install more solar lights. With this new facelift of the whole sorroundings, will surely invite repeating guests. Shoutout to the friendly staffs too. (P/S: suggests to invest on bed bug spray for each room too)

NG ZHI QUANIt was a great experience at Alunan Resort.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The villa was clean, spacious, and had breathtaking views of the sea. We loved the rooftop deck for relaxing, and the snorkeling trip arranged by the resort was fantastic. The food at the restaurant was also delicious OMG we do have great time eating here with a variety of choices. Would definitely return!

Very nice hotel, friendly staff. Good restaurant. This hotel isn’t cheap, but one of the best hotels on island. Nice beach, good cocktails and small snacks during happy hour served just to the beach
