Luxurious stay and excellent service”
Had a wonderful stay at Alunan Resort for 3 days 2 nights. Were welcomed by the super friendly staffs, they were very helpful to manage our baggage right from the office to the jetty and up to our room. Despite having to climb uphill to get to our room, otherwise the view from the top worth every step. Room is spacious and beds are beautifully decorated as we requested for a simple birthday deco with no extra charges. Cleanliness standard is excellent. Our most favourite spot is the private rooftop balcony with hammock where we both chilled while enjoying the breathtaking seaview. Food was great, only breakfast included in my reservation but it’s not a big deal because we can watertaxi which took about 3-4 mins to the nearest fisherman village for more variety of food. Loved the effort in focusing on the coral planting and preserving the nature. Peaceful private beach, quite rocky for a swim but filled with magnificent corals which you can enjoy snorkelling just around the area. All in all, kudos to Alunan team for the great hospitality. Each staff greeted us with a genuine smile and were very attentive to make sure we are well-accomodated throughout our stay. Very secluded exclusive resort, recommended to those who seek for a serene escape. Overall an amazing experience!

Just an amazing experience!”
The highlight of this wonderful hotel is definitely the staff. They are the nicest I had in Malaysia: they are really well trained and competent. I was impressed. The hotel is clean and comfortable and everything runs well under a solid organization. The location is very good: quiet but close to a fisherman village and also located on a hiking path from which 2/3 of the island can be discovered. The coral project and initiatives to protect the environment is definitely an important aspect too for us. We are looking forward to the next steps to become an increasingly eco-friendly resort. The food is OK. This is the only non-positive point: some dishes are quite tasty, some other average. A bit expensive compared to what you get.

Holidays in Paradise ”
We stayed 7 days with 2 friends families, another family join us over the weekend. The location is fantastic, private beach, with great view. We were located at the top villas, and had to climb the stairs but was good after the nice food we had every day. The staff were all very helpful and really accommodated all our requests: seating (as we were 8 and then 12 pax) at the outdoor area, drinks (chocolate banana milkshake, frozen mango), dessert that were not in the menu. The banana split with hone made ice cream is a must try! We had diving sessions with the hotel partner dive center and also were very friendly. The resort has a coral project which is awesome for the coral preservation and planting. Great for our kids education as there were biologist expert that provide talks around the great Perhenthians coral and environment. Food was delicious and of a good quality and freshness. Activities : jungle running, stand up paddle, kayaking, catamaran, snorkeling are all accessible from the beach. Great holiday in Perhenthians and wish to come back soon.

Great for an eco, relaxed stay”
There is a lot that Alunan does really well. They really care about their environment and have a marine biologist as part of their staff who is helping with their coral growth project. It’s also great that you can get involved in this if you wish! There are other nice touches like reusable water bottles and metal straws - these make a huge difference to plastic usage and I was impressed! The rooms are fantastic and have great views and your own private balcony. The standard of the rooms felt very premium for the island. It was great that they have a private beach and some fantastic coral right on your doorstep. These are real draws to the resort. Also the activities they have are generally more expensive than other places on the island, but the staff were a lot more helpful on them - so worth the extra money. Will note that it is a little secluded there. This was great for us, but if you want to be near long beach, you may be better off elsewhere. Would come again!

Secluded resort with private beach and sailing yatch”
A very secluded resort which is separated from the long beach where most of the resorts are located. It's a very good hiding place for one to relax and stay with total privacy. We are given room number 23 which is located at the highest point and the centre of the resort. Our room full height window commands the best view towards the sea, especially when u r looking from the upper deck private balcony. Listening to the sea wave while watching the stars at the quiet night at the balcony is the unreal experience for us. One can also take their in-house sailing yatch for a sunset sail! Pity that the private beach is not swimmable at all because there are too many rocks around and hopefully the resort will build a swimming pool in future and definitely will make us wanna go back again!

Worth coming back! 👍🏼 ”
Booked the same resort upon recommendation by a friend. Well worth the price and holiday experience. Everything was right on the dot the moment we arrived at the pontoon. Staff was polite and courteous. After a long overnight drive from KL, we managed to check-in earlier to our room and had a restful sleep before exploring the resort and the activities. Food was surprisingly good on an island. I like the fact that Alunan is located at a less crowded area of Perhentian, which gives the resort a more private and secluded feel. Here are my top three reasons to come back here: 1. Great hospitality and customer service 2. Clean and well maintained rooms 3. Eco-friendly resort (no single use plastic and their effort in coral rehabilitation and conservation)

Beautiful Resort with Excellent Staff and Service”
The resort has a beautiful vertical setting, where each of the rooms has an upper balcony with the ocean view. The food is great here. However, the staff members are the best part about this resort, who are extremely warm and friendly, and provide excellent service. The resort is in an isolated place away from the Long Beach, which I loved because I wanted a proper getaway vacation. However, if you are someone who wants to be around a happening spot, you can easily go to the Long Beach or Coral Bay by a 10-min boat ride, or through the jungle trek (not recommended at night), if you are feeling adventurous.

Topnotch resort!”
We (a family of 5) had an amazing time at the resort mainly because of these three things: 1) Great, friendly and well-trained staffs 2) Superb view from the room. Hammock at the rooftop deck is a big plus! 3) Alunan Coral Project Maybe the only bad experience we ever had is at Kuala Besut Jetty during the first day where we embarked using "unofficial jetty" where no proper stairs available and quite dangerous for oldies. I am not sure why they did not use the proper jetty that are available right next to them! However I believe this is out of their control because the boat company is not theirs. Overall, a very nice stay and would definitely recommend.

Awesome experience in perhentian island”
This is the best hotel I have ever experienced. Nice view from outside with a glass wall for each room and a private outdoor platform. The indoor facilities are modern and beautiful. You can stay in your house for the whole afternoon as the sun is so big. In the morning you can try snorkeling just beyond the hotel with free facilities from hotel. Drinking at the bar is kind of an unforgettable experience. Every room is designed individualizing so that each room can enjoy the ocean view. I will definitely come again when I visit perhentian island.

Perfect school holiday resort.”
What a great vacation resort! They have unique, modern rooms with a rooftop balcony overlooking the sea and a hammock for perfect morning or evening relaxation. The staffs are very welcoming, friendly and helpful too. We chose their Best of Perhentian excursion that consists of half-day snorkelling trip at 3 different spots and ends up with a sumptuous BBQ on Rawa Island. Kids love their education-packed Alunan Coral Project. This is definitely a place you'd like to spend your holiday again.

Best resort at Pulau perhentian ”
The staff here is friendly, assisting us with everything. Even we encountered some issues during over trip, they bear the responsibility. Food is good, some of the dishes like steak or cake, there’re still room for improvement, but others foods are very very tasty. Is definitely a best place for you to come and relax all the time. Can provide more indoor facilities which can do it during rainy day.

Peaceful break on Beautiful Kecil!”
A beautiful ,very relaxing resort, nestled on the south side of the island. Rooms are very spacious and clean. Fantastic views from the balconies above your room! The staff are exceptionally friendly and will go out of their way to help you in any way they can. Very peaceful resort ,on what feels like your own private beach. Snorkelling around the corner in the Coral planting area, where there are an abundance of fish and even some resident reef sharks! Standup paddle boarding,Kayaking, sailing and amazing snorkelling trips are some of the delights that you can find at the Alunan. The food was good, portions maybe on the smaller side . Easy to take a taxi boat to any of the other spots you wish to visit on either island. Would definitely recommend this resort to anyone visiting Kecil!!! *****

Wonderful Stay ”
The Alunan experience was wonderful from the time we arrived at the Kuala Besut office. The staffs at the office and resort were polite and helpful. Always greeting you with their warm smiles or a simple hello. The views from the room were beautiful with both the lush jungle and blue waters. The quad-room that we were in was very cozy, we had a mini movie marathon with the wide range of movies offered on the Roomie app and we had to get ourselves acquainted with the family-sized bathroom with 2 shower cubicles. The facilities were splendid although we wished the ping-pong had the actual table to play on. The Alunan Coral project facility at the resort is also a must-visit as we had a thorough briefing by the friendly and well-versed staffs on the coral preservation work that’s happening right in front of the resort. The Sunset Catamaran sail is also another must-try as we had a very nice evening sailing into the beautiful sunset with a stopover at a picturesque beach with white sands and broken corals. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights stay and this is attributed mainly to the people who have made our stay unforgettable. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend that you book a stay with Alunan.
