Resorts in Terengganu

"Paradise is a fantastic budget option for a solo traveler or esp a family that doesnt need pampering but wants a safe, clean, pleasant place. The staff are super helpful and Oaradise offers people a cha ce to enjoy Redang's amazing sea life without spending hundreds of dollars a day in the nearby resorts. If you plan to enjoy the water and just want a room for sleeping, also olenty of space for a group, this place is it. I walked into the water in front of this place and saw turtles, sharka and lots of pretty coral and fish. Hint: bring your own snorkel gear and you don't have to wait til the noisy boars leave with big groups at 9 or 10. Early morning is magical. The backside of the island is worth exploring too, but behind beach resorts you'll see the business end of them. Infistrial equipment, trash dump, etc. If you are picky about wanting the pristine enclosure, then maybe pick one of the more expensive resorts. They range from a minimum of $120 a night to $800. There were families with young children at Paradise and everyone seemed to be having a good time.Again, the staff were great, the food yummy, and the room no frills but perfectly fine and as described. This goes for all budget places, but if you are a light aleepwr, bring earplugs. Walls are thin and there's outdoor music til 1030. "

"A lot of local food near around the hotel."

"Very basic place to stay but nice and clean. You get free water everyday. The bathroom is very basic, i wasn't expecting 5* so i wasn't disappointed with what we got. Short walk to the beach from the room we had. Trees over head full of fruit bats that screech during the night and early morning but not bad enough to disturb us too much. Overall happy with our stay. "

"The property is one of the best property for Besar island in the price range. Pools are great facility if you have non swimmers with you. We had kids and they just loved it. Food was good for Non Vegetarians but being vegetarian, we faced trouble. Cook helped on day 1 with good friend rice on day 1 in complimentary breakfast but that was the only 1 item we got in vegetarian food, apart from juice and tea coffee. On second day we were served something which noone liked and we left only with juice and tea/coffee. Apart from that, we did not like the policy of charging extreme for water bottles. May be the case in that part of the world of using the bottles, I would recommend increasing room rent and giving water refills for free. That would stop ruining the amazing beaches of Perhentian Islands with plastic litters."

"Stayed in renovated room. Nothing exciting about the rooms. Drab bathrooms. Food not worth talking unfortunately (even the local food is boring) about but plentiful. No alcohol allowed on premises but smoking is allowed everywhere. Wifi only at reception area. Pool seems to have under repairs for sometime."

"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!"

"This property is located in a beautiful spot especially since the lodges are on a hill with amazing views. But the upkeep of the lodges is poor. Simple things such as the bathroom sink with black mould & the tiles oozing fugul are not necessary. Maybe cause we visited mid October when everything started to close down? The staff are accommodating but don’t give many choices due to their not being any when getting around the island. If your on this side & have not prearranged bout trips your stuck on 1 beach with little options. Also getting a scooter is a waste of time as there is only the road leading to the jeti no other roads unless you trek through the woodland which takes nearly 2 hours. There is wild life in the jungle so at your own risk unless you hire a guide. Also make sure you use bug repellent & bug relief because you will be eaten alive. No real English breakfast except at the hotel if they have it. Again it was end of season. "

"Floor and walls are dirty. Recommend wearing footwear."
