    We couldn't watch TV as it appears to have WiFi issue, could not be connected. But since we had our phones plus doing outdoor activities,hence wasn't much of a problem.

    The availability of water dispenser. Availability of renting SUP and kayak.Really convenient as we get to do the activity in front of the hotel. The hilly walk towards the room as u get a bit of exercise. Within 10mins walking/short hike to fisherman's village - convenient Nice SPA - had a good spa session there.

    The prices are very high compared to similar resorts in south east asia, I would say minimum 25% to 30% higher. You need to deal with many stairs to go up and down with the sun. It can also be a bit rustic as water and electricity shut down, however that's usually part of the experience on an islands. The taxi boats of the island are a bit expensive, especially traveling alone, about 5 MYR per minute after 7pm but this is not specific to the resort.

    The spa massage was amazing and the crew very nice and helpful. The coral project team was interesting to learn more about sea life, we had very nice talk. It's a very good place to relax, meditate and rest. Also depending on the bungalow you get you can have a very good view and a pleasant terrace to enjoy the sun with the sound of the sea but it's not the case in all of them as the privacy can be different.

    The food was a little overpriced

    The resort is in a great location, only a 10min walk to the fisherman’s village. The staff were super helpful with anything we needed - my partner even had stitches that the staff offered to clean every morning and night! Our room was great too, even having a welcome gift basket and our own rooftop patio. Having stayed at another place on the island too, the value for money here was great in terms of what you pay for the rooms and activities.

    The breakfast could have been much better. There was a lack of common sense with some things i.e no coffee available because machine wasn’t working bc of storm, but they could have offered instant! And then the receptionist and excision staff communication was lacking- you’d hear one throng that would then be corrected by another. An fyi, there is availability to get cash out at Fisherman’s village and in between coral bay and long beach. There is no ATM - you need to do a transaction and they’ll give you the cash.

    Amazing staff, great excursions, great air conditioning and Babu was a lovely and affordable restaurant

    Menu is quite pricey 😅 I loved the slopes Alunan is on. Some may find it a challenge to move about especially if their rooms are far on top😅

    Breakfast buffet was adequately sufficient & tasty. Bayu restaurant has the best view🤩 Located on a private beach. Away from crowded waters (Long Beach is full of parked boats with their sharp anchors protruding on the beach! Hazardous! Plus we’d have to swim in between the boats!) Alunan’s private beach is nice & quiet for our enjoyment. Alunan is THE BEST of Perhentian’s resorts. Modern & CLEAN rooms & facilities. CLEAN food preparation areas & CLEAN & comfortable dining areas. Walkways & common facilities are maintained clean all the time! Kudos!

    A truly amazing place with high focus on eco-marine life and sustainability initiatives such as avoiding use of plastic bottles etc. Beautiful views from rooms and the terrace and nice comfortable beds. We did the 3 point snorkelling tour, the Best of Perhentian and the full day tour and all 3 activities where really good and well organized and we say so many types of fish, turtles, baby sharks and beautiful nature. And the staff is very service-minded and helpful both in the reception, the restaurants and the activity center and you feel very welcome.

    The food is ok but not exceptional. However the italian restaurant overlooking the water was pretty good, if expensivee.

    The resort has a lovely private beach and is surrounded by forest. Its not a fancy resort but the rooms are spacious and simple with good aircon and wood floors. The staff are lovely and the snorkelling trip was great.

    Nothing.

    Excellent service. The room we had initially had a broken ac, after reporting it to the staffs they immediately repaired the ac and helped to accommodate by giving us a new room which is beside the old room. They helped to relocate our stuffs and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. They were very efficient in their tasks and definitely can be seen enjoying it. Good work👍🏼
