It was great. It’s a lovely place. Everyone is very kind. We loved the excursions they planned for us.

TYPHOID FEVER ALERT!!! Public health is aware of this and we are sure that staff knew it as well but they didn’t mention it for a sole business purposes! On a check in we got reusable bottles for their filtered water but in our room we found plastic bottled water. When asked why? We were told that some customers are sick because they ate in other restaurants outside the resort!!! First warning sign. We were all vaccinated against Typhoid fever in Canada but regardless we all got ill and landed in hospital on IV antibiotics and fluids! We were told in the hospital that they had an outbreak of typhoid due to poor sewage treatment and it can be from water, food or snorkeling around the island where even corals died due to sewage pollution! This is a NEW resort beautifully designed and VERY EXPENSIVE to allow something like this to happen!!! Everyone was sick in that resort!!! Also food selection was poor but tasty! We questioned the food handling, because they would make food and let it sit on 35 C degrees for hours! We did not have a single bite outside the resort! At night there is no entertainment, so you feel locked in, because the path to other villages is through the jungle or by boat. The doors in the rooms are cut too short and not possible to close completely, so we had all sorts of jungle insects and animals roaming around the room! Snorkeling excursions were nice but it seems we snorkelled in the sewage water!

Excellent location right on beach and coral reef. Great snorkelling and wonderful staff. Delicious breakfast. Very nice trips.

We had a fantastic time at Alunan and really glad we booked here for half our stay on the Perhentian. Room - Spacious and very clean, having the deck upstairs is also a really nice touch Food - Probably the best food we ate on the Perhentian islands, both western and Malay options availabl. It is slightly more expensive but worth it in our opinion. Breakfast with the room was also great, fresh roti canai were really nice. Staff - super welcoming and friendly, especially Cel, who really made sure we were looked after the entire stay. Facilities - great quiet location, with snorkelling right off the beach, easy access to hiking path and other trips. Only hotel with an infinity pool on the island too, which we used to cool off at the end of each day!

Alunan Resort is a fantastic hotel, with wonderful staff, that made us feel very well looked after during our stay in the Perhentian Islands. They ensured our trip from the airport to and from the island was seem less and stress free. We were greeted and checked in at the Alunan office at the Besut Jetty and the 45 minute boat ride to the resort was easy. On arrival, we were promptly shown to our beautiful room, which had views of the ocean from every window. There is also a huge balcony overlooking the ocean, which was a favourite place for our morning coffee. We did 3 excursions during our stay. All 3 were extremely well organised and we were ensured memorable experiences by the guides. The Bayu restaurant provided a very tasty breakfast everyday, and we also ate there for dinner a few times. Everything we ate was excellent. The Sunset Deck was a beautiful place for a drink in the evening. The most impressive thing about Alunan however, is the wonderful staff. We were truly blown away by their kindness and attentiveness throughout our stay. They really made it the best vacation we could wish for. Thank you Alunan.

Alunan, built amongst hundred years old forests, and a panoramic view towards the crystal clear turquoise south china sea. Alunan is like the best-kept secret on the east coast of Malaysia. Kudos to the coral conservation efforts, with house reef to die for, so close to the coastline, right next to your doorstep. There are thousand and one things to do, from the reef plating, catamaran sailing, table tennis, hiking, swimming, snorkeling, diving, best of Perhentian hopping, shark and turtle sighting, you just cannot get enough of Alunan. Service and food is impeccable, room is large and airy, with amazing view from your bed and the uniqueness is you have your own rooftop deck. Wildlife is crawling, flying, and swimming all over the premises, this is as close to nature as you can get; A place that gives back to nature and is meant for people who love nature.

nice n comfortable.. friendly staffs n good service.. very helpful

We had a wonderful stay at this small and quiet resort that we hope to be back. The rooms are well maintained, clean, comfortable and has a upstairs private deck with an amazing view. The food is simply delicious with a variety of Malaysian and Western dishes. The staff are very attentive and helpful, the service provided is more like a 5 stars resort. Snorkeling off the resort beach is amazing with colorful coral, fish and giant clams.
